This is comedy now

India does what it wants.

In fairness one of the West Indian batsmen against Bangladesh in the last T20 match was batting without the strap under the chin

 

[Black Diamond]

What?. There is 26 minutes before stumps. A wicket falls now and still three overs at them.

To clarify, I mean if we take one after the change of innings.

Seems like India are comfortable at the moment. Confident they can chase it in 70 overs if needed. Quite happy for this last pair to waste time as a draw is also a good result for them.

 

[eddiesmith]

At least tomorrow they have to bowl 98 overs, so they’ll be playing till 9:00 at night!

 

[Roosurgence]

Rohit gets excited when he sees Snicko, misreading it for Snickers.

 

[PoopingHindi]

India win possible only if Rohit and Kohli bat out of their skins .. 100 needed from either of them
i dont expect repeat of 1st innings from Reddy W.Sundar or Jaiswal anything from Rahul Jadeja will be a bonus

Australia winning possibility is highest 50-55%

Jaiswal could turn this game in an hour…probably owes his team a few runs too.

With the best first over wicket taker in the history of the game

Scotty wants a long bat tomorrow

Is Pant on drugs?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Winner winner chicken dinner!

Forget the Boxing Day Ashes - swapping gloves would have been Boland's personal career highlight!

 

[freo_leo29]

They only need 3 an over tomorrow

They'll walk that in

 

[PhatBoy]

76 overs plus 2 for the change of innings in 6.5 hours

Plus the four Australia bowled

 

[chriso11]

They are going to use all their reviews here… on the last wicket

Sporting capital of the world for a reason

 

[Coasters7]

No reason why Lyon can't have an impact tomorrow. India are going to need about 3.25 an over which they couldn't do when the pitch was at it's best. Not saying they can't do it but the odds are in Australia's favour

Lyon has never really been the guy to spin us to victory late on day 5. Good in the early-middle parts of innings but his lack of turn makes him unreliable. If Jadeja isn’t having much impact I can’t see Lyon having any.

 

[k31th]

This innings will be over, one way or another, once the new ball comes along, so I'm confused as to why India are wasting time

The body language out their suggests,Virat is calling the shots.atm

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Depends if we are playing to win or playing to draw

Draw isn't a real option yet.
If India are to score 304, they will do it within a day without having to push hard. As a result, batting on isn't wasting time to bowl them out.

I am a little surprised by India's slower over rate. Its almost like they don't want the tenth wicket until a change of innings would be end of day. And are concerned Australia might declare immediately on the new ball being available.

Sometimes it seems teams overthink strategy, instead of just playing cricket.

Fair chance it'll be repeated next summer.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Having made the case for the appeal: minimising the team that our bowlers have to bowl twice on the one day after spending a long time out there and with the back to back tests is a reasonable case too.
