*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

[Arachnodouche]

It's been strange kind of batting from India. We have lost only 2 wickets but there were lot of ill advised shots. Rahul still can't curb his instincts of driving or lofting through covers. Vijay is done for. And Pujara strangely kept stepping out to Lyon when he is getting so much turn.

They should step out more to neutralize that rough. Waiting on the backfoot is invariably going to lead to a lopped catch to short leg/leg gully.

I don't know, if anything I don't think they use back foot play against lyon enough.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Kohli gets squared up so often while playing the defensive prod to seamers curving the ball away.

 

[stephen]

Hazlewood has been great today. Lyon even better.

That was a ripper of a ball there by Lyon.

 

[Zinzan]

So what's the par 4th innings target here? Is the wicket likely to worsen?

I'll say 275.

 

[stephen]

Pujara had no idea that over.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Jeez these two are bowling well.

 

[trundler]

Yeah that was quality. Fun to watch.

 

[fredfertang]

I trust Kohli is going to make Australian supporters suffer as much he did us in the summer

 

[OverratedSanity]

That damn net session again, how many times are they going to show it. It's reaching meme levels now.

 

[Borges]

So what's the par 4th innings target here? Is the wicket likely to worsen? I'll say 275.

Yes, I'd say par is 275. Don't think the wicket will get much worse; but it is already quite spin friendly.

I'll say 275.

250 is probably enough. Hell 150 is probably enough against this Australian batting lineup.

 

[trundler]

That's what you're supposed to do to a loose one Rahul you thick ****

 

[Burgey]

These two Victorians in the close catching slots on the leg side are hapless water buffaloes. Useless.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Amazing that Kohli already has 1000 runs in Australia.

 

[stephen]

Why do I get the feeling that Pujara is the real threat on this tour?

Too many Victorians to hide.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Like how Pujara leaves on length. Take notes, Rahul.

 

[fredfertang]

Why do I get the feeling that Pujara is the real threat on this tour?

That appalling time he had with Yorkshire certainly seems to have done him some good - just a shame he didn't quite manage to get the French relegated

 

[stephen]

I would like to see a bouncer or 5.
