Jaiswald has grasped every ball cleanly except the catches lol

And again

Right on cue

This pitch is still NOT doing much at all.

Australia put themselves in this situation with 20 minutes of pure panic. (Reminds me of when the opposition get a run-on against the kangas)

Think about the 4 wickets... Arguably only Carey got a good ball.

I can see India getting even 300 with quite a few wickets to spare tomorrow.

The call to play “Time” was incorrect. Was a bad bad bad decision

 

[travelli]

That poor bloke is losing the game for India. Put him in the outfield please.

 

[StiffArm]

Big innings needed by Cummins.

His abysmal Capataincy along with Ronald McDonald has placed Australia in this position.

Being there on Day 3 and a park cricket team would have played the game with more brains.

Shit fields allowing easy scoring and batters to get set along with shit bowling changes. No pressure was placed on Reddy or Washington.

Bowling Lyon who was just bowling quick darts was stupidity. Needed to be told to give the ball some air. As for the fast bowlers constant back of a length bowling on that pitch was epic stupidness.

You might not like the guy because he's not politically aligned with you (or an active c#%t on the field), but Cummins captaincy has been incredible. He has won everything in the last few years.

 

[Groucho]

Just saw a replay of the wickets. Poor shot selection mainly. Konstas, oh man, that gap between bat and pad for an opener is a no no

I was there yesterday and the Captaincy and tactics were like 3rd grade park cricket.

As soon a Pant went out they should have put the foot on the throat and pressured the lower order. Instead they left massive gaps for Indian batters to nudge a single and relieve the pressure.

Also whoever the bowling coach is is a muppet for not getting out the message to get it fuller on that deck and challenge the stumps.

You have lower order players not having to play at most balls and just wait for the shit ball to score off. Back of the length shit all day.

It’s was dumb a day of cricket that you will see.

Has nothing to do with that. He’s politically aligned with me and I think his decision making at times is deplorable.

100%

Not sure what Captaincy and personality have to do with each other.

Tactically shit is tactically shit no matter how good a bloke you are.

Great bowler and digs in with the bat. You cant question his leadership qualities

 

[Roosurgence]

I’m not questioning his leadership, questioning his tactical nous.

 

[Roosurgence]

****ing umpires call!

 

[travelli]

Cummins and stark will flick around a quick 50 now. I reckon the chase will be just over 300.

Great test

 

[hellas_johnny]

These 2 need to push the score to 280 at least to give us a chance

 

[shinboner magic]

Wicket isn’t that bad

Bumrah has been the difference - think anything under 300 is very gettable

 

[hellas_johnny]

Any chance of a dive starc ffs

 

[Roosurgence]

300 is very gettable if Australia don’t attack the stumps like India has this innings.

Great test

Great call

 

[Sillygit]

A ****ing run out...

 

[travelli]

Great call

Call me an optomist. Still reckon 300. Lyon looking a bit shakey tho.

 

[DuckYeah]

Coaches, selectors and Captains.
Gotta start asking questions

You don’t pick a kid to open in the first 3 tests who is a middle order bat.

You don’t let smith open last season, you blood someone else against a weaker opponent.

You don’t keep picking marsh who’s 34 and has averaged 23 in his last 12 tests.

You don’t pick hazelwood in game 3 after another soft tissue injury.

 

[Roosurgence]

Scotty Boland to Ton up off 25 balls and take 10 for to back it up!

Build the man a statue!

 

[hellas_johnny]

The more foxports does this bio mech thing on bumrah the more it looks like he throws it. I get it is part of his condition that his arm has the extra flexibility but surely he should have to have something on his elbow to prevent it. Any other nation he'd be being questioned

 

[shinboner magic]

It’s a mistake I’ve this batting lineup has won anything - let alone the world championship
