*Official* Australia in India 2023

Yeah picking Boland for his control is all well and good but ultimately you pick bowlers to take poles and idk if Boland was any more likely to do so. He might create pressure at the other end and make Lyon and Murphy's lives a little easier, I suppose.

The guy that bet Steve Smith would score more runs then Kohli in this series probably isn't very happy right now.

Should've cashed out after the third test!

So looks like Oz might be short an over or two again today, so how many points are docked for 2 slow overs?

Time for Yadav to smash a couple out of the ground now.

I think there can be exemptions for delays of kinds that are unavoidable so it'll come down to other factors. We'll see I guess.

2. Be surprised if they were docked any for yesterday given that the batsmen were taking plenty of breaks between overs as well though; gotta have some leeway for hot conditions. They've been glacial since tea today though.

It's 1 per over I think

Umesh gone without facing a ball.

Umesh running as if he's been the one fielding for 170 overs

SL are running a bigger risk with losing points for slow over rate.

Virat told Umesh what was coming and yet he was not ready. He has not had a great game, our Umi.

 

[Burgey]

****, 18 wickets for >1,000 runs and poor umesh doesn’t get to face a ball

 

[slippy888]

When kholi gonna unleash his shots to get the double hundred

Well given India completed their overs well in time & Oz employed 3 spinners I doubt that excuse would fly, not to mention we had only 3 wickets lost in the day.

And so they should, if match referees were more strict/serious about enforcing over rates half of these shens would end overnight!

Travis Head could take notes from that throw btw. Could have had a few run outs yesterday had he not taken an age to release the ball

When the batsman is taking long breaks between overs though then it's a bit odd to punish the fielding side. Pujara in particular took a lot of breaks, and I believe there was an extra drinks break too

And you're saying this didn't happen on the first day? Besides 30 minutes is more than enough to cover that.

I don't remember an extra drinks break being taken on Day 1 no
