***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[Compton]

But Hazelwood isn't mcgrath he goes down leg side from time time and on a normal wicket he will go for 3-3.5 without taking wickets. So he will essentially be an ineffective bowler.

That's probably why he's taken 110@24.72 prior to this match. Because he doesn't take wickets on "normal" pitches.

This will be news to him on Australian wickets, which have been some of the flattest wickets known to man recently where he averages 25.

Is it a crime to believe that Hazlewood is:

a. neither "ineffective" on flat tracks
b. is nowhere near McGrath levels yet???

It's not a crime to believe he's ineffective on flat tracks. It sure is incorrect, though.

You kinda missed my point though

I am talking normal indian wickets as i said in my first post. Low bounce is what you get on an average indian wicket not on an average ausdie wicket.

We are not getting anything more than 50 runs lead here, are we?

Lead is nearly 50 now, with 6 wickets in hand.

My standard, yet arbitrary, way of sterminating a par score is a schedule thta looks like:
1/50, 2/100, 3/150, 4/200, 5/250, 6/300, 7/340, 8/370, 9/390, 400 ao.

Anyone is free to think of it whatever he likes, but it helps me to convince myself that you can double up, whatever you score for 4. Right now, that means India will score another 136 runs, setting Aus a target of 186. Thta's a very decent prospect for me, as a neutral.

India get 150 this is going to be very interesting. 100 more on this deck looks very hard but you never know. Pujara again demonstrating what a gun he is.

@Stapel:

Sure... if you have watched none of India's batting this series so far, that will sound plausible to you.

150 isn't going to be enough. We are not likely to get Smith cheaply again.

 

[Shri]

Renshaw and Smith will be good for 75 runs. We need to set them 225 at the very least.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah and we are just abotu 1/3 of the way there.. we have nothing at the moment. Australia can easily get the remaining 6 for 10 runs like they did in Pune. If anything, this pitch is more challenging, esp. from Lyon's end.

Fourth innings chases are weird tbf.

 

[Shri]

Lyon's finger tiring. Game on.

 

[honestbharani]

Nah.. he is just doing that to double bluff the batsmen. Waiting till he is on the screen and then doing stuff to his finger

Yea 200 minimum else we can kiss the series goodbye.

 

[honestbharani]

Shri, quit trying to sound as if we have a chance here. We don't. We have been lucky enough to get 50 in the lead but honestly, I think Australia will only need to chase 75 given the way our team has batted this series.

 

[Arachnodouche]

This Gambhiring is terrible to wade through. Moderators need to ask for some bare minimum age credentials before allowing posters on.

150, guys. Chennai '01.

I don't think I've seen a bunch of supporters as pessimistic as Indian supporters in this thread. And I knew some English supporters in the 90s...
