I get leaving them single to that shot as if the ball is moving around it is quite risky, but surely a field change needed now

This is objectively false.

You can bet for India

You can bet for India

I could. That doesn't make them favourites.

Cummins should have taken a heap of wickets in this test

Being objective for a moment (rare from me), I think these two probably need to be in at lunch minimum for India to be favourites.

Hmmm, Rahane didn't play that well at all. Could've gone anywhere.

 

[Jfry]

Rahane has had an objectively very lucky test

 

[Saket1209]

They are definitely favourites if we look at the wicket , the attack , and the form.

No, that's not what it means.

No he shouldn't. He was mediocre in the first innings and shocking last night.

OTOH India's batting falls away big time and they're still miles off the target. You need these two to add another 150 to look good.

Just like India are objectively favourites here. There's simply no subjectivity about it.

 

[Saket1209]

Let's see

lol

He took 2 wickets off no balls and that was an awful shot

 

[OverratedSanity]

Just need another hundred from these two to be favourites

 

[Starfighter]

If he had match practice he would have been in better rhythm and not overstepped and who cares about the shot when there was no fielder within a cooee of the ball anyway.

Aus couldn't declare freely even after passing 400 mark on the 4th day pitch. You can see the fear. If India survive the first session then no one can stop us

This is a D-tier Cummins performance so far what are you watching.

 

[Prince EWS]

Not sure whether Gambhiring or Saketing is more annoying. At least people who Gambhir usually know that "they're favourites" doesn't mean "I think they'll win" I suppose.

 

[ataraxia]

Guys I'm really not sure why you're all so hellbent that Australia will win this test match. It can only be some silly manifestation of gambhiring tbh. You only need Kohli, Rahane, and Jadeja to each score 75 more runs. Easy as cake.

Nah social is right, Cummins should've bowled much better - if he did he would have taken a heap of wickets.
