Warner went into the test injured so if runners were allowed he should not be able to have one.
Rahul and Vilhari is similar to Head and Burns and wouldn't put them on any list of a very good XI, I'll even say Head is way ahead of both of them. And Pattinson will be ahead of the other quicks.
Needs cellaring for a few more years til he’s in prime condition
It’s more Riesling weather anyway

There is a playing condition in this series that if the light falls below a certain level, instead of going off for bad light they turn on the stadium lights. This isn't a law of cricket, but it is a playing condition specific to this Aus/Ind series.
Despite Warnes protests I don't think there's many demons in this pitch at all. It's playing pretty well and Lyon isn't really getting any bite from the pitch.
I'm not confident at all.

An injury due to the sub standard SCG, they really should lose all matches.

Australia need to force the issue with fielders putting pressure around the batsman. Bring the fielders in.
A change I'd like to see in cricket is the commentry add the word 'purpose' to their vocabulary so then instead of saying 'batting with intent' every frikin 30 seconds they could mix it up a bit with 'batting with purpose'
Wait, surely Warney or anyone isn’t actually saying there is any demons in this pitch at all? Yet to see a single wicket due to a ball doing anything out of the ordinary off this pitch for 5 days!!!

That’s my point though, you are not going to get any value out of those sorts of teams if they have to find 30 runs at 8-down or survive 12 overs to save the game but if they fluke 40 runs and five overs when there’s less pressure on it could actually be useful.
Bradman did it on a wet wicket once.
Even more so if I knew there was 120 overs to survive and no chance at all to win, I’d reverse the order and see if I couldn’t see the new ball off for 2-3 tailenders wickets and then the innings proper starts

Can we get a five wicket session in the chat.
You didn't see that extra bounce that got Pujara out from Cummins on day 3....?

Yep, got it. I knew there were certain rules outside and above the laws of cricket, but somehow I've never heard them referred to as playing conditions in all my years of watching cricket.
Consider me learned.

Don't reckon he caught that.

Certainly won't talk about himself as much as Warne.

Harsha would have to be one of, if not the sharpest blokest to ever commentate. Smooth as anything
Yeah I think it's a reasonable shout. I mean if they implode and get rolled in the next 10 overs trying to whack boundaries, it's easy to say "should've played for the draw".
Given the circumstances though and how wounded they'll be next test, I reckon it's worth the gamble. After the way Pant played too it feels almost disrespectful to just bat the time.
