Great innings from Rahul.

Now our ass middle order has to at least put on a few cameos.

really cameos are all that's needed from here.

India in an utterly dominant position.

 

[Silver Silva]

This is the innings that announces Jaiswal as the best test opener in World cricket.

 

[Teja.]

Jaiswal looking to be aggressive for no reason. You have unlimited time and the bowling is world class. Why? Grind the pacers down.

 

[silentstriker]

Ooh, that one kept low...

Yeah a few members just need 40s. Not even the middle order since it's trash tier, but hopefully the lower middle order and tail.

Should just wait for Lyon to come on and then try to go full t20 mode.

Think Kohli should just have a swing when he comes in. might hit himself into a bit of form.

Hope they surprise me but I’ll take 60/3 (180) from No. 3-5. Quick wickets are the real killer.

I think it's the second new ball they're afraid of.

Which doesn't make sense to me tbh. The two openes should stick around and try to play the new ball out.

 

[GirthQuake]

Jaiswal Gill Pant in 4 years will be a monster lineup (I'd argue that Pant is already there)

Imagine India's GDP by then!

Jaiswal 111*(222) @SillyCowCorner1

 

[Burgey]

That’s a short boundary down there. The fielder should be on the rope and he’d have swallowed it

 

[silentstriker]

That's just inexperience from Jaiswal - that fielder was specifically placed for that exact shot.

 

[Spark]

Few things worse than a fielder getting lobbed for four

 

[Spikey]

thats why head will always be at short leg

 

[hendrix]

One might say it went over his Head

1992. Two centuries, one in Perth and one in Sydney.

My coverage of this match brought up youngest Indian centurions, hence my query.

 

[silentstriker]

So in a non Gambhir question, what score would Aus be favorites to chase? AB on air said 350 would be chaseable and then it's harder. I think probably anything above 300 and surely Australia wouldn't be favorites? After 400, it would be very very hard, and 500 would be an all time chase. Esp as we've all been saying that it's not the great Aussie batting lineup of the past and Indian bowling is also very good.

Obv defer to AB on stuff like this, but surprised he said 350.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bowl your best ball, let him try to hit you. He's good...
