I don't even want to think about how angry you'd be if Kohli actually set them something remotely achievable.

If he set them anything at all instead of batting out the test match, I would re-evaluate my opinion on buring effigies

 

[silentstriker]

That's a perfect first up delivery...

See I think I'd be fine with him setting them >400 at >8rpo. That's obviously just not going to happen. Anything easier than that would be madness though.

It's because you haven't suffered like I have.

 

[Burgey]

Masterful from Ussie again I see

 

[ajdude]

labu’s gonna nick a wrongun here

 

[vicleggie]

Khawaja going to end up the Mark Butcher of Australia cricket

He's going to be marrying teammates' sisters just to stay in the team?

why wouldn't you want to go for the extra win and rub their faces in it? you don't have to set them anything nice. they're not chasing 500.

Pathetic dismissal. Kuldeep doesn't look remotely threatening.

Normally I'd want to win every Test match but this is a special occasion. I don't care about 3-1 vs 2-1 in this series. This is once in a lifetime. No one will remember 10 years from now if it was 2-1 vs 3-1. I want it to be impossible for Australia to win, not 'mostly' impossible.

He did a pretty good job with his lengths and flight in that over.

 

[Riggins]

Yeah he hasn't bowled junk, but he's getting absolutely no assistance from the pitch, a good test batsman shouldn't need to bat so recklessly against him.

 

[slippy888]

At least Rahul done something useful this series by not wasting time by claiming that catch

 

[BSM]

Not that there's any chance of it occurring here, but what's the highest first-innings score for a losing team? I imagine it might come from a very long time ago when test matches could go on for over 5 days

 

[silentstriker]

Wish India had Bhuvi. Maybe wouldn't have made a difference, but I think would have had a better chance of taking some wickets.

595 by Bangladesh against New Zealand.

 

[slippy888]

Kuldeep bowls to many loose balls really he will never match his fav bowler Paul Adams

Notable since a lot of time was lost to rain too. NZ batted ridiculously quickly in the 4th innings to win.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Umesh would have been very useful to have here. Bit of a shame that India batted too well for the crap selections to matter.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Adams wasn't exactly a metronome himself, but when he did miss his lengths he could tend to get away with it because of the unconventional action/release point he had
