***Official*** Australia in India 2017

I agree this match has been pretty low key compared to first 2 tests. Not many happening moments so far compared to the other tests currently being played. I am hoping that the 3rd day happens to be that day.

Nah not today. Boring day FTW where we don't lose any wickets and score 300 runs

For India's sake I hope it's another boring day.

3 batsmen who are operating at about 60% (maybe even much lesser in case of Virat).. And a tail who seem totally out of batting touch. God save us.

But what a spell yest from Cummins. Funnily enough due to work being crazy hectic in the last two days, his and Lyon's spells towards the day end were what I actually caught live. This guy is class. A brainy fast bowler. How rare!!!

Obviously if India are batting at the end of the day today, that'll be ideal but I do think that even if they get a lead, chasing anything at all, even a modest total like 150-175 in the final innings will be a nightmare.

 

[silentstriker]

Well that was a nice shot.

throw these ****s out imo. Just sit down ffs.

It's ****ing annoying. I think Gavaskar went off on a rant the other day about it happening so often in Indian grounds. They need to crack down on these ****s but I'm fairly certain I've seen even security walk past the sightscreen multiple times.

 

[OverratedSanity]

The ****s who do it invariably have a grin on their faces too.

 

[Spark]

The comms are being so dumb as well about the batsmen "hardening up". How about the spectators do the most basic thing required of them and not interfere in the game that they're only there to watch?

Brett Lee is right - that sight screen is massive and it's ridiculous that play is being stopped because some **** is moving at wide mid-off

I'd bring on Cummins to bowl a few short ones at Pujara's throat if I were Smith. Teams need to get wiser to the fact that he's not great against the short pitched stuff, especially early on.

Neither of them are

Even Haze can do it. You need to keep him guessing otherwise he's just going to keep chugging along with the non existent backlift against the quicks and play with soft hands when it's on a length or just short of it.

Yeah, fair. In Vijay's case it's more of an issue of him struggling with his back issues atm. It's a genuine technical flaw for Pujara.

 

[morgieb]

Expecting India to be 3/400 at the end of the day or something. This pitch still looks really good for batting.

 

[Tangles]

Time for a Sok change of ends. Fate would allow it to work just to mock Warne.

 

[Immenso]

Huh? Can you mow a pitch mid match?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Should also ask the umpire if hes allowed to bowl with a white ball imo.

 

[honestbharani]

Haze seems to drag his front foot way too much to achieve different release points at the crease. Won't that cause injury possibilities to his right leg or quads or thighs??
