what's the last day pitch like in Adelaide? If the pitch plays like this then it should be a draw

 

[Riggins]

rogers a big chance of toning up here, just about all his test tons have been in the second dig

Is PT Burge in the house?

It either stays a road or starts taking more spin and starts rolling along the ground. You never know what you're going to get though.

Can we remove siddle now...

So Kohli's dismissal (timing) might end up being the crucial factor in this test match.

okay

Lyon is a perfectly fine bowler FFS.

He is fine agreed, but no world beater as his performances in the UAE proved where he averaged over 140 and was comprehensively outperformed by Baber and a rookie in Yasir Shah.

First Ali and now Lyon, I wish people would stop saying India are good against spin, this generation clearly are not, in test cricket anyhow.

This pitch still look like a road?

Problem is that lyon relies more on bounce instead of the slow turn you get in the UAE. A lot of the wickets here he got because of the way the balls spat off the pitch.

But yeah, I wouldn't generally agree that india are great players of spin now.

A lot can happen in a hurry at the back end of Adelaide tests. Big first innings scores are the norm but more often than not a result is turned out.

it does now. sometime this arvo it could start staying low though, and you never get any notice.

India is perfectly capable of collapsing to Lyon tomorrow.

Winning the Toss seems quite a good advantage on here.

Slats dislikes Rogers. Always having subtle digs at him on the radio of a morning too.

Seems to be a common theme among rabid Cowan fans.

Spot on.

3/4 have been in second innings and averages 41 compared to 29.

They are making life easier for Lyon by creating rough for him.

 

[adub]

Pretty good odds on a result still. As others have noted, can get a result here after two big first innings more often than almost anywhere else.

Zero justice in the world.
