Wow... now this is how you "save" Test cricket.

Place will be a lake in 30 minutes

 

[Gnske]

We've played some really, really dumb cricket in this match in the last two days.

 

[Jarquis]

Honestly have no idea what people are having a whine about.

 

[Spark]

They might get, like, three overs in

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

275 is just the smooth n ribbed...err carrot to dangle before a batting side like India. If the weather holds i.e.

 

[Kirkut]

Starc and Cummins will go full throttle

 

[cnerd123]

The carrot has been dangled!

It won't - there's a colossal thunderstorm that's going to hit in the next hour at the latest

 

[Gnske]

They're not going to try and seriously chase 275. This is no carrot.

Nothing is going to happen. I'm already yawning

 

[Qlder]

Aus going 7/89 gives all the momentum to India going into the next test...not sure what they were thinking with all that rain coming?

But they declared so it papers over the collapse in pursuit of the more sporting outcome...or something.

 

[Burgey]

Love it.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Anything over 200 for this lineup is unchaseable. The carrot is miles away.

 

[Silver Silva]

That final wicket stand between Bumrah and Akash Deep has kept India alive in the series!
Shades of Anderson and Panesar

 

[cascade]

Idk, I kind of respect it. Willing to look like idiots to try force something out of a dead game.

This idea of momentum between two games 8 days apart played on different surfaces is one of the greatest myths in sport. Do you think India’s gonna walk back into their room and think “never mind we’re topping out at 250 or so at best every first dig, when they had a slog we got seven cheap poles?” Come on.

 

[Spark]

Been reminded of that 2001 game against NZ - 290 in 90 overs, now there's a suicidal declaration

No don't you see it's just like physics
