*Official* Australia in India 2023

There should be an obvious change in the rule! You absolutely don't need to check an edge if there's a stumping involved, this is just BS.

The fact that it came into picture in first place is itself BS.

Finely balanced game this. Could go either way.

India are comfortably ahead.

Ha ha. 50 to get with 8 wickets in hand a finely balanced game? India is coasting this.

 

[R!TTER]

I'm fine with an umpire review but it's been abused far too often, in fact (on field) umpires try to hide their incompetence at times through this! I've seen instances where the umpire reviews upstairs to check a fair catch, even if it's clearly caught, & they check IIRC for ultra edge as well as LBW in those cases.

Shut up and Gambhir. Australia were 65-1

they were 61 for 1 and crashed thereafter...yes, it's still anyone's game...

Yeah this I think is definitely the case. Once it’s upstairs it’s like everything is on the table and umpires sometimes do send them when it seems obvious.

Then again we’d all blow up if they didn’t review one and it wasn’t out

 

[Burgey]

Gee that’s a terrific shot.

Lyon back to bowling too straight again but tbf he’s probably trying too hard given the situation of the game

 

[Sam Handwich]

Disappointed in india. I thought they would knock these off in under 20 overs.

 

[R!TTER]

Clearly a poor T20 side, should've chased this in under 10 overs

No IPL contract for Rohit, Virat next year!

 

[OverratedSanity]

Great over by Murphy. He looks so much better than Kuhnemann, was a poor choice to start with him in the opening spell imo. Captains care about samieness of bowlers a bit too much.

 

[Burgey]

Good over from Murphy

 

[social]

Pat Cummins & whomever else are making decisions have lost their collective minds

Cummins is the world’s number 1 bowler and has not bowled a ball

He’s the captain & has spent half his time on the boundary

Wtf is going on?

 

[Anil]

kohli and pujara getting bogged down again...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Tight bowling here by these two. Building pressure very nicely. Hopefully Pujara just stays out there stubbornly.

IPL sucks man

They have 230 overs to chase 46 runs.

He's less of a wicket threat than the spinners though

Like, they're both experienced enough to not be bothered by a couple of maiden overs. Or they shouldn't be

 

[anil1405]

Murphy strikes.
