They really need a silly cow corner

 

[Gnske]

What this team needs is a 10c cigar

Rohit must be licking his lips at the chance for some downhill skiing second innings runs

 

[Shri]

Bat slow for the next 50 runs but then we've got to smash them really.

Rohit must be licking his lips at the chance for some downhill skiing second innings runs

Wouldn't consider it downhill skiing if Rohit takes the lead past 250/300 tbh. We're well ahead now but runs are still valuable at this stage.

 

[Gnske]

Yeah this will require a surgeon's precision when it comes to batting aggressively. That just spells out Rohit Sharma to me.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Have the pitch transformed into a road?

I expect a Khawaja resistance in the fourth innings

 

[Starfighter]

That's a 2010-era Mitchell Johnson level of terrible.

 

[Flem274*]

rahane looks the best he has in a long time. good good, i like watching him bat

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Rahane always have that deer-in-a-headlights look on his face

 

[mr_mister]

Lol at the use of the term 'fag end' by this commentator

I know it's harmless but someone will complain

 

[cnerd123]

These two put on 69 runs in the 19 overs before the second new ball, which is basically perfect given the circumstances.

This partnership overall is now worth 72, the highest of the game so far

Awesome session. All we need is for Starc to keep wasting the new ball.

 

[Adders]

He bowls to the left.....he bowls to the riggghhht

 

[Starfighter]

My God this is bad.

 

[ajdude]

starc’s not right here. tremain in for him at perth?

i mean apart from the bowling, he’s looked sore around his ribs and doesn’t look comfortable with his foot. but he’s bowling trash too

 

[Shri]

I can see some rough on both sides of the pitch now. If Ash doesn't **** up again, this should be an easy win.

 

[Starfighter]

That's just a freebie.

 

[straw man]

Have to say, despite the two line-ups on paper, I never really believed India would get up in this first test, that they'd score runs and take wickets. But now, it really looks like they should win from here. At least they'll require Australia to bat very well to draw the match.

India have one guy to thank too - massive from Pujara.
