This team not interested in winning the BGT

We should honestly open with Boland and Lyon in the 2nd innings just for a laugh

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

To face a deficit after dismissing a side for 185 is truly embarrassing.

 

[Gak Attack]

Can’t do much about it. India have been very lucky that ours have all caught the bat. They would’ve been all out for 50 had they had the luck we’ve had

We didn't help ourselves by dropping them.

 

[JimmyBC]

It's a bit early to wet the bed

 

[western royboy]

Hats off to the script writers doing this series - its been epic

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Harsha in full shit dribble mode.

 

[ams4crows]

Good knock from Webster but I would have loved to see him get more aggressive once the tail was in

He faced like 5 balls with the tail what could he have realistically done?

 

[1990crow]

Imagine going from Richie Benaud, Tony Grieg, Ian Chappell and Mark Nicholas to Tim Lane in commentary box.

 

[eddiesmith]

Australia is headed for a 50 run 1st innings lead and all the fans have handed over the BGT to India.

Ok mate

 

[Westend]

he can't be aggressive from ball one he faces

Have a long hard look at yourselves a lot of you. Yes Bumrah is gone but India are a quality test nation that pulls from a pool of players we can only dream of. They have good players that can still perform.

This is what good, hard test cricket looks like. And we give as good as we get.
No one was melting when we were using our attack to skittle them for under 200.

Pathetic melting from many in here.

Yeah that was also the problem, should have farmed it a bit more. Also would have been good if he did not get out, he can work on that next time

 

[Jimthegreat]

If these pie chuckers can get wickets, surely we can.

 

[Topkent]

Steve Smith should hang his head in shame, technically 3 dropped catches yesterday plus the Lyon one is the difference

Also a bizarrely short memory. In 2021 in Adelaide, India got a first innings lead of fifty five. They then got rolled for thirty six and Australia won by eight wickets.

 

[danielnajdek]

India will try and get off to a flying start. Need early wickets or we're done.

Never a dull moment, one of the best test series I've seen along with the 2005 Ashes series and the NZ v India 3-0 whitewash.

 

[BGman]

India look set to have a rare innings win over us.

Still plenty in this deck if we put it in correct place like Barrell did first innings. Memo Mitch Starc.

 

[Jimthegreat]

One thing the Australia can learn from here is length on this pitch. We were shorter and missed the edge, they were fuller and got the edge.

That's the BF cricket board for you.

And have a fairly proven record for the most part of not just rolling over when they’re challenged like half the sides around the world.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that they’re putting up a fight or something

 

[JOELY]

Harsha in full shit dribble mode.

All series. So tired of him.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

They have bowled better than us. We were a bit short with our bowling where as the Indians have pitched the ball up and set a protective field for the driving of the ball. This way they stop the flow of runs and they give themselves the best chances to take wickets. We bowled back of a length the whole innings and yes we beat the bat but we were not hitting the stumps and our bad balks get punished.
And yet it’s still a very even game. We have to bowl fuller this innings and protect runs with a mid off and a cover and a point fields man.
