India vs Australia 3rd Test: 16 to 20 March at Ranchi at 3pm (Mel/Syd)

[Blue1980]

Hilarious, India aren't declaring.

Letting us off the hook completely.

Runs buys them more time.

 

[Marshland]

Serves Smith right for taking that dumb review earlier.

 

[Gough]

TBH I don't trust the authenticity of records before 1900.

Is there a match discussion thread on BF about that 1894 match?

1895 Wisden would be a good bet. I've got a copy of this bad boy.

That's pretty much complete as possible score sheets from all first class games in Australia from 1851-1942.

 

[Saintt]

I'm happy for them to keep batting.

 

[roscreasl98]

I'm suprised Jadeja hasn't started a fire outside the off stump of his.

That area spells disaster for us when he bowls.

Kohli will open with Ashwin IMO.

Wouldn't put it passed them to do just that overnight.
Then blame DRS............

Serves Smith right for taking that dumb review earlier.

It wouldn't have been overturned even if he had reviewed it.

Would have remained not out anyway.

 

[SportsCentre]

Do a lap of honour

The rough for the left handlers is a handful

Warner thinking a reverse sweep will fix that.

 

[Cleavy]

We will be fine. The pitch seems still good for surviving at least.

we don't do survival.

 

[DT_fanatic]

They'll be declaring tonight that's a certainty.

 

[Blue1980]

It wouldn't have been overturned even if he had reviewed it.

But it was a closer not out

 

[Quinz]

So twice we've wasted reviews and then got terrible calls that we couldn't overturn. Have to use them better than we have here.

Edit: apparently not that terrible this one?

 

[DT_fanatic]

I wouldn't mind 600 tho...

 

[barrackers]

I'm happy for them to keep batting.

As long as we don't collapse when it's our turn

 

[roscreasl98]

Kohli?!?!?!?

Think Princess Kohli will open.
Then he can call himself a Bowling All rounder.

 

[GROTTO]

Kohli?!?!?!?

Kohli the captain will open the bowling with Ashwin, as in his decision. Not bowling with Ashwin.

 

[Marshland]

Oh dear.

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Hilarious, India aren't declaring.

Letting us off the hook completely.

they are doing the right thing piling on quick runs with their tail end.

 

[Marshland]

they are doing the right thing piling on quick runs with their tail end.

Only 10 overs left in the day though.

Lower that number greater the chance for Warner and Renshaw to see it through safely.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Honestly our heads have dropped a bit. Looking for answers atm.

 

[Doss]

TBH I don't trust the authenticity of records before 1900.

Is there a match discussion thread on BF about that 1894 match?

Yes. People lost their shit about players wearing harlequin caps and dropping catches at slip because of the cigars they were rolling.

There's footage in the Channel 9 archives.
Charles Bannerman was talking about eating dirty rotten cured meats in between overs.
Slater's great-grandfather had a thing for Jumping Jackie Big Boy Blackham.

Good days.....

Best thing India can do is keep batting. We don't want to face too many tricky over tonight.
