***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[morgieb]

Where the **** is mr_mister? He has a lot of explaining to do.

 

[Daemon]

Ravi Shastri is showing the same sort of mindset as the Indians. He's banging on now about how India is showing good intent and confidence and want to win the game etc etc but just a while back when we were under the pump he was quiet and moaning. Such paper tigers. Watch him shut up about all the intent rubbish later when a wicket falls and then start again when Kohli hits a pretty boundary.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Oh this intent rubbish again. How the **** is playing an across the line hoick and top edging for six "intent"? I'll tell you what it is: luck.

 

[Burgey]

FMD I can't believe Lyon is the same bloke who was so innocuous in SL and at home this summer. Just looks a different bowler altogether.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Just get to lunch pls

 

[Spark]

what is that

 

[cnerd123]

In a series with Starc and Kohli and Ashwin and Smith, the best battle so far has ben SOK vs Rahul

 

[Arachnodouche]

You have to wipe off the deficit ASAP in this situation. Once we're ahead, the pressure transfers over to the Australians. Whole different dynamic then. That's why players like Sehwag and Warner are valuable. Need luck to pull it off, but nothing risked, nothing gained.

 

[cnerd123]

****ing hell this pitch

 

[Burgey]

FMD Warner snares that with nothing on it after dropping three sodas so far this series.

 

[Compton]

That's a terrible 10 overs from Australia.

They've essentially just gifted India back the runs from the first half of the morning.

 

[Shri]

Get to 100 without loss and they might panic. Then pile on the runs slowly. Pujara and Nair will be key here. No faith atm on Rahane or Kohli. Kohli seems frightened of spinners atm.

 

[Burgey]

That's India's session. Australia too loose with bat and ball there. ********* cricket tbh.

 

[Contra]

Good stuff in the end from India, still lots of work to do though.

Shastri's intent **** has got into your head.

I agree on principle but playing attacking cricket doesn't mean you start trying to slog Mitchell Starc.

I guess I am a masochist. I like being hurt by hope.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Starc certainly did a lot of grimacing

 

[morgieb]

Quite possibly threw away two days of good work with one poor hour. So dire.

 

[Contra]

No one slogged Starc though in this innings. Mukund's was a simple short arm pull to a short ball, something he did the ball before and missed.
