Imagine having cricket stuff on the Bathurst coverage. Don’t know what the hell is going on at Ch7

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Wow.. he only has 4 in the 3rd innings as well.. surprises me that.

Someone said it’s cause he doesn’t sleep during test matches.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Marnus, smith and head all gotta go imo

Time to actually make some changes to this team

Just looking at Head's past 17 Test innings, only 1 score over 50, that was 119 v West Indies last summer, and yet leading up to this series he only played 1 Sheffield Shield match. With all this "management" of players, I don't think CA has the slightest clue what they're doing.

I don’t know why this isn’t mentioned by the commentators. Should show the audience they shouldn’t have faith

Normal behaviour.

Does better on good decks but as decks decline he seems to struggle.

Because CA are arrogant.

 

[Around the Wicket]

I’d already have Bumrah at number 1.

 

[Marshland]

Cummins has been terrible.

Bumrah has the battle of the capitanos 1-0 for sure

How much captaining has he really done though?

From what I saw during their fielding innings it seems to be Kohli at the reigns.

 

[Plugger35]

India with a lead of 321 with 9 wickets left, even Pakistan couldn't lose this test from this position, looks like it will be 1-0 to India.

Pakistan would take the juicy odds for sure.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Remember when England scored 800 against Pakistan

 

[RookiePick]

Pitch will be starting to play up late today. Good chance we get rolled for sub 100 second dig. Players are flat as pancakes in the field and have at least 4 more hours in the sun.

I'd probably bat 30 minutes or so tomorrow morning toonif I were india

 

[Westend]

i wonder if the 10 year anniversary of Hughes passing away has something to do with the team so flat

10 years today?

I still think Hughes would have come good and had a outstanding career... he'd be the old veteran in the side now.

I don't know if I'm being overly pessimistic, but I fully expect another embarrassing batting collapse in the 2nd innings. You'd like to think with so many bats playing for their careers, they'd pull out something special, but I can't see it.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

At least he's taken a wicket unlike the other two chumps.

India felt sorry for him

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Surely you're not surprised??....

More surprised when he doesn’t bowl pies to be honest

Yet we can’t call out the prep and yet smith’s prep was worse not to mention Marsh barely playing. Any surprise Carey looks the most in form when he played every Shield match before the test?

People underrating the pitch, tbh.

Was doing so much first 4 sessions, then has really flattened up. Not to say Aussie and Indian bowlers didn’t play well first 4 sessions, but there’s nuance here.

I fully expect India will make the most of these conditions for another 2-3 sessions before we start seeing the cracks break up. If Australia struggle with that, it’s still not panic stations - just the beauty of test cricket.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Oh then.

 

[MJG14]

Haha wow

 

[LukeParkerno1]

lol Virat gets a bat

 

[k31th]

First ball after lunch, woo!


but on first inspection it might be one of those doubtful ones

 

[Run n Spread]

Didn't look to have carried.
Edit clearly did
