[Shri]

wtf green isn't a dog ffs

 

[Athlai]

Please don't snatch a defeat from the jaws of a draw.

The lofty dreams of Indian fans from earlier eras

 

[cnerd123]

Plz get to tea Pant.

Che Pu is a hero.

 

[Burner]

Like I said yesterday, this had draw written all over it unless India play like Rahane did there.

155 in 42 not at all implausible tbf

Getting out for 24?

 

[Prince EWS]

Getting out for 24?

Well yeah. Australia will win if India play like Rahane just did. I think that was his point.

 

[cnerd123]

Rahane was clearly trying to keep the hope for a win alive after Gill set the tone.

Che Pu is the contingency plan, and I assume Agarwal and Sundar will be tasked with stonewalling duties if he falls

Pant is the #intent with Shardulkar to follow.

Our bowlers are useless with the bat so hopefully it doesn't get to them

If it's around 120 to win in the final session, I think they'll go for glory.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Actually if all the other batsmen get out for 24 India will win.

 

[silentstriker]

Have the Indian team been infested by the #intent brigade? Time for an inquiry.

 

[Spark]

Well I thought he'd gloved that? What was that noise?

 

[Bahnz]

Btw, what's the prognosis for India's bowlers for the upcoming India v England series? Shami and Bumrah likely to be fit?

 

[stephen]

I too heard a noise there.

 

[Prince EWS]

If it's around 120 to win in the final session, I think they'll go for glory.

Agree and probably fair enough but only if they're no more than three down. Three down at tea with no weather interruptions was what I thought the cut off for "have a crack in the final session" would be this morning (I even made a post IIRC). Rahane's innings was dumb though. Just a waste really.

 

[Spark]

Btw, what's the prognosis for India's bowlers for the upcoming India v England series? Shami and Bumrah likely to be fit?

Last I heard, neither will be fit at first

 

[Prince EWS]

Btw, what's the prognosis for India's bowlers for the upcoming India v England series? Shami and Bumrah likely to be fit?

Jadeja definitely out, I think Bumrah and Ashwin will be back, no idea on Shami and Umesh.

EDIT: Oh and Ishant definitely back.

 

[cnerd123]

Btw, what's the prognosis for India's bowlers for the upcoming India v England series? Shami and Bumrah likely to be fit?

Ishant and Bumrah defo back, along with Ashwin. Jaddu ruled out for first 2 tests, unsure on Shami and Yadav.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Btw, what's the prognosis for India's bowlers for the upcoming India v England series? Shami and Bumrah likely to be fit?

Bumrah and Ishant will be back, Shami no.

 

[Kraken]

have a dip at this India, go for the famous series win, may as well go down swinging

 

[Spark]

Lyon has definitely looked much better today. Getting a much better trajectory with a bit of drift out and hitting the inside half of the bat more often.
