Certified Legendary Thread 4th Test Border Gavaskar Trophy December 26-30 1000hrs @ the MCG

That’s the issue though. The majority of the runs have been made after top order collapses which shouldn’t really be possible.

Today and tomorrow you’d ideally want the spinners having a huge say in these sorts of overs but it looks like the bowlers will only get 50 decent overs to finish this off.

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

Only worth bowling tonight if Boland is getting the new pill

Keep batting and let them walk off the field feeling like they wasted a lot of effort for a 300 plus lead.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Boland might have to call for a new pair of gloves soon

 

[Roosurgence]

92 to go Scotty!

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%

 

[hawkman]

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

When India chased down 320 in Brisbane, did they start their innings late on day 4?

Yes

2 overs

I hope we're trying to win and not just prevent a loss. Should be declaring.

Problem now is taking a wicket could mean the end of the day.

 

[Bungeye]

Test cricket at its finest! Lmao

 

[CakeEater]

Saw him in a doco the other day, he's been in a good paddock since his playing days

I played at his indoor centre.

Top bloke unless you hit him for a 6 then watch out

 

[Kapow!!!]

But also, these guys could easily get out next over. We're not making enough to mean they can't get the runs if we don't take the 10 wickets.

Feel like getting a declaration that says 'we think we've got you here' gets in their head way more than bowling us out.

Either way they have enough time to get the runs for mine. Give them 15 minutes: Not enough time to do anything other than get out and give us potentially a couple more overs with a new ball at the end of tomorrow.

 

[gtrxuone]

Stubborn last wicket stand.
Would be annoying the Indians now.

 

[Saint12]

Does Washington throw as well?

Lucky to be in this situation really.

Winner winner chicken dinner!

 

[Speck]

That was a message out to Boland for sure.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Review that

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