[vicleggie]

Pitch doing plenty.
Get to 180 you buggers.

 

[ataraxia]

Just put a preemptive long-on out tbh

 

[Burgey]

Jeez this is all happening very quickly

 

[Spark]

Will he get a statue?

 

[Spikey]

Anyone got day 4 tickets

 

[cnerd123]

Need Washy and Jaddu to fire today and they did not.

Ah well. 3-1 is a fair result.

 

[Nintendo]

Have my children scotty B.

 

[TimAngas]

Are they really going to spend two minutes reviewing the most innocuous looking slips catches like that?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Needed another 50 atleast today to have a realistic shot. Pretty limp stuff this morning.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Pitch is still a minefield and looks like India will be out there early to make the most of it. Still game on. By minefield I don't mean it's ragging sideways. It's the ones that consistently seam 1-2 degrees that get the edges and bowleds.

 

[social]

Because we are actually watching the cricket

They need more than that now

 

[vicleggie]

Calling it now. India have a competitive total.

If Aus get this, they will be 7 or 8 down.

 

[Spikey]

Bumrah opted out of toughing it out. Smh

 

[stephen]

And Boland has 6.

 

[Alex0paul]

6/33

pathetic

 

[Son Of Coco]

**** yeah!

Ended as well as it could have for us.

Hopefully Bumrah can('t) bowl. Will still be difficult even if he isn't there.

 

[Bahnz]

And that's that. At least 50 short unless Bumrah can bowl, and even then still probably 20 short.

 

[Gnske]

Indian fight on display this morning

Chokers

 

[kevinw]

I'm predicting a successful chase, 3-4 down.

 

[Skipper Pup]

India is 145 ahead with 2 good players at the crease and only 6 down

Why are people thinking that Australia will only need 160 to win?

Because we are smart.
