How TF is Marnus bowling above 130 kmph?
Almost every ball too, lol.

Easier to extend yourself when you only have to bowl two overs a day I guess, but yeah it has surprised even me who has watched him deliver this **** in domestic cricket all season exactly how quickly it clocks here.

Not a bad day for India as a whole, though I'm a bit disappointed Australia got to 104 eventually. Hopefully the pitch doesn't fall apart too quickly, need to pile on the runs.

India have only once in their history won a match after being bowled out for 150 or less in the first innings. That was also against Australia, in Mumbai 2004.

A team winning away after being <150 all out in the first innings has happened 12 times across all teams, 7 of which were in the 19th century. The two occasions in the last 35 years are Australia in Kandy, also in 2004, and NZ in Hobart 2011.

ITC was right all along. HCSI
It took until I started making my own simulator to realise entirely why it actually did that, because mine did it too.

If you make seam assistance start at its highest point on the first morning and gradually get lower, do the opposite for spin, and make pace and bounce peak near the end of Day 2/beginning of Day 3, you do absolutely get this third innings h4x phenomenon sometimes, especially if bowling attacks don't have good express quicks in them.

I know over rates are boring but with the WTC table so close do we have some possible point deductions coming?

Day 1: 77 overs (Aus 50 / India 27)
Day 2: 82 overs (Aus 57 / India 25)

I understand the first day with 17 wkts but only 3 wkts fell today and it's not like they spent a lot of time chasing the ball around with only 426 runs in 2 days
WTC table chat is even more boring than over-rates chat, to be fair.

If Australia can manage to bowl zero overs for the next day and a half, we are a chance of chasing this down.
