what a terrific bouncer from siraj

Whatever it takes!!!
Yeah Rana esp. has gotten carried away with all the bounce. TBF, a common rookie mistake when playing in Aus but really, worst possible time for us when he lost his head a bit.

The same as yesterday when the ball gets a little older and the openers are off

Worst possible time would have been at 5pm yesterday when Head was still in tbf. These two are going at 1.5rpo, it's annoying but not a problem yet

I dont think Pujara today will survive ten balls on this track. Guy could not handle gentle 130 kph swing from a TN left armer in the Ranji not long ago. What I meant is the attitude to survive and get your eye in. Pujara at his best, famously accelerates brilliantly past 30 or 40 runs in his innings and esp. after 50 and then after 100. THAT would be goldust here.

You reckon? I feel like the Aussie pacers where still regularly beating the bat in that period. Cummins was just loose and gave india enough overpitched balls to tick the score over.
That's not what people are saying. They're saying it's still an asset to have a rock solid crease occupier at 3. They didn't say a mentally shot 3 who can't lay bat on it. And you can still have your Pant type player at 5-6, in fact every team benefits from that

don't think this two scored anything on the off in this long partnership.. very patient waiting for the rare leg glance.

Yeah, Pujara's best innings developed in a steady if almost imperceptible upwards gradient. Labuschagne was plain stuck.

Pujara would also have been happy to just wear balls on the hip/stomach/chest/wherever rather than be drawn into playing at lengths he shouldn't play.

Disappointing that India couldn't bowl Australia out for under 100, even more disappointing is that Hayden is back commentating. again on Ch7.
Him waffling on is making me considering a switch to the Fox coverage but then I will have to listen to Warner waffling on who is almost as bad.

Not sure about the Earth, but Australia definitely is.

Yeah, not great from Bumrah. Not proactive, not even reactive, just letting it drift

Well honestly it might simply be a calculation that Starc will eventually get bored, try to hit a boundary, and make an error, rather than being satisfied with 1rpo (which doesn't really hurt India at all). He might be right!
Though I can't imagine he would have been expecting to bowl again today.
