tbf you'd have probably had 15 extra byes already in this game if he wasn't keeping. He's been awesome so far this series.

And how many times India has been blown away this cheaply in 20 odd years?

I don't know, but the actual way to prove this point either way is to see how many sides have posted about 110 or something similar in the first dig then gone on to win, compared with how many have done it and had their heads handed to them. I'd tip not many have won compared with those who've lost.

Which was kind of the point.

Well you have 2004 Mumbai, then 2017 Bangalore in similar vein, then that game which Stokes/Leach stole albeit in the 4th innings chasing. I can find quite a few like that, but if your point is that it's rare - it must also be noted that it's rare for (strong) home teams to score that few in the first innings!

Headingley is a bit different tbf because by the 4th innings the pitch was an out and out road.

yeah but how many of them had the team batting 2nd have only a small lead. Usually when a team goes out for 110 etc in first innings, the 2nd team buries them in the first innings itself.

Right now it's India as slight favourites. 1.83 to 2.05.

I don't really agree with that, but I suppose there's just no faith in Aus chasing anything in the 4th innings.

88 on this deck isn't a small lead though.

Australia are still the favourites don't get me wrong but 180-200 lead would have killed the match.

If Ind somehow make their way to 250ish, that's a 160 target which would still be possible to defend.

These matches are not uncommon in Asia.

So much is going to depend on Lyon bowling the right line today. if he gets too straight they'll milk him pretty comfortably.
