***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[Burner]

Australia are in a good position now. Momentum with them, two set batsmen. Watch them let India back in the game by doing something stupid now. Done it all series.

 

[Zinzan]

Can't remember Australia not closing out an advantageous position at home between '99-'07. Saying that, McGrath's support cast was certainly better.

Point taken though, guy is human after all. Even Steyn has failed to bowl teams out in the 4th innings at times (vs. India in Cape Town 2011, Australia in Jo'burg 2011 come to mind, and England a couple of times when Onions saved them).

Indeed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FXwWD5ZWiA (even though away from home)

 

[Arachnodouche]

Being replaced with Ishant Sharma on a fifth day winning bid. Take that Ravichandran Ashwin.

 

[Shri]

The guy could do with a little less lip, for someone who's so unproven outside the country.

Fastest to 250 test wickets. He needs to talk more.

 

[Compton]

Ash needs to change ends for a couple of overs to see if he can get anything out of Jaddu's end.

Worked for SOK.

 

[Compton]

- Deficit under 20
- Around 40 overs left
- 6 wickets in hand

Still expecting a lollapse

Pretty sure 80% of Australians/neutrals are lol

 

[cnerd123]

Jaddu win this for us plz

 

[OverratedSanity]

Need a monumental collapsw from here and tbh I can't see it happening. Australia's lower order has some blocking ability.

Flashback to Kolkata 2001, Sachin came on to bowl at a similar time on day 5 to break a crucial partnership btw Hayden n Tugga i guess.

 

[Zinzan]

Indian win out to $3.75 & draw $1.25.

I want Aust to hang on for the draw, but I wouldn't mind them losing a wicket or two now to make the last session more exciting

 

[Contra]

INdia losing it here lol

Tendulkar's probably a bit long in the tooth now.

 

[cnerd123]

Bad throw, but Kohli should have been backing up.

The ****

 

[harsh.ag]

So want Vijay to bowl and get a wicket here.

 

[Compton]

Those overthrows

 

[harsh.ag]

Holy moses ChePu has 5 FC wickets at 25.80 striking at 41 with legbreaks. Get him in!

 

[Compton]

Does a five (1+4 overthrows) count as a 4 for the purposes of a scorecard?

I guess not, because Handscomb already had - and still does have - 3 boundaries to his name.

Nah, only balls which hit the rope direct from the bat (ie not overthrows or all run) count as "boundaries"

 

[cnerd123]

Only 30-odd overs to go.

India could chase 60-70 in 10 overs if needed. Need to just keep hunting for wickets and trying to induce a lollapse
