And this is why I was surprised Cummins didn't start after tea.

Why isn't Green having a bowl?

He's too green

What's the view of the Indian posters of the merits of Rahane as captain relative to Kohli? Not so sure about tactical decision making, but it's been nice to see players not being treated like crap for every misfield or running mixup.

In my opinion, Kohli built this team. A good sign of great leader is how the team performs in his absence, and this team proved that.. Rahane is good but at times holds back horses-for-courses bowlers when needed. This team is still very much Kohli all over.

Rain will deny us a victory here

Nice.

Nah, I've been hearing this nonsense about Australia's bowling never getting the blame when they underperform for years now. Maybe its a reaction to those people who blame the bowlers even when the batsmen stink it up but its weird. 369 is perfectly acceptable if sub par considering the opposition bowling. Letting sundar and shardul get 60 each is flat out terrible. Dont want to take anything away from the batting pair because they've been superb, but they should be able to get them out cheaper.

If they had have made 550 like they should have we'd all be saying "this is a great partnership, India may avoid the follow on". Now the lead is in danger.

And as I say that, Cummins shows why he's number 1.

Need to get the next three in like three overs and then really put the foot down to have anything more than an outside chance in this game.

 

[Gnske]

But durrr why isn't Green bowling

 

[GoodAreasShane]

About time

 

[trundler]

A full ball at the stumps. What a novelty.

i meant for lyon obvs

If only that came 100 runs earlier. Well batted.

Now let's see what the next few wickets bring. I expect nothing short of 100%. A 40 run lead isn't that small.

 

[anil1405]

Well played Shardul. Worth watching the highlights for some glorious strokeplay.

Yeah some posters have much less of an idea than they let on

After briefly entertaining the thought of switching my mancrush to Washington Sundar, you've won me back Patty Cummins. Washington can't provide the blistering manbearhug with movement both ways that you can.

 

[Gnske]

wtf

 

[stephen]

Worst review ever. Daylight.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Australia still way on top if they bowl India out quickly here. They have the batsmen to force the pace in this situation.

 

[Bahnz]

Ahahaha, that's missed his glove by a good 6 inches.

It hasn't been like he's bowled that well anyway. Realistically all the big match-changing partnerships this series anyway could've been saved by better bowling intensity/intelligence. Not everywhere is like Headingley.

 

[mr_mister]

That was paineful
