Amazing catch by Tontine
Wiki said:
A tontine is an investment linked to a living person which provides an income for as long as that person is alive. Such schemes originated as plans for governments to raise capital in the 17th century and became relatively widespread in the 18th and 19th centuries
Makes sense

The Wheel is Forever
India need to be batting at close. 100 seems like a lot (and a long way at this point) but the problem with chasing 100 is there is zero scoreboard pressure. India defended 107 vs Australia in Mumbai and there have been a few time to time but it's just too difficult because one good - or lucky - innings of 30 or a partnership of 50 basically gets you there. It's difficult for the bowlers to get in any sort of a rhythm defending 100. I feel like Australia will chase anything below 150. 160-170 and now I would say India may be pulling ahead.
