***Official*** Australia in India 2017

On the plus side for India it shows that runs can definitely be scored on this wicket

If Kohli treats this like a One-Dayer, chasing 450 in 50 overs or something he might just get them home

meanwhile in the real world...

 

[Shri]

Can't be too many times someone has beaten the bat so often by so much and got so little to show for it.

He bowled bad areas considering the turn he was getting and didn't adjust. Should have bowled straighter.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Absolutely no intent from O'Keefe this innings. Drop him for the next game and bring Maxwell in.

 

[honestbharani]

Is that 6 times now catches dropped off Ashwin in one innings?? Wow...


Smith was immense though. Very hard to rate a knock when you get 6 lives but the best part is his mental toughness... He kept everything away and just looked to.play the next ball. It was Sehwagology implemented better than even Sehwag.

Playing for Red Ink is a kind of #intent

 

[Spikey]

4 years ago people were chucking hissy fits at Smith being included in the squad. Now he's The People's Champion and has scored 18 test centuries

 

[Burgey]

This must be bumming Kohli so bad. Jono conspicuous by his absence here.

Still better than having him around, ofc.

 

[adub]

Yeah go SOK, keep em in the sun

 

[adub]

That session wasn't shared Indian computer graphics guy.

 

[honestbharani]

Think AUS Ould have wanted 280+ when they started batting. India score SS guys?


HB - 240

 

[Fenil]

That was funny from SOK. Probably saying, Guys, do your thing, I'm off.

Not to mention, another O'Keefe 5-fer would ease the pain of defeat to an extent.

 

[Shri]

We'll get to 420 and lose.

I would love it if they could somehow last 100 overs on this pitch. Loss is a loss but at least it would be a sign that they have serious technical and mental fortitude.

Burgey got India's first innings prediction almost right so a 70 all out here is on the cards.
