Is Jaiswal worried the match in headed for a draw?

 

[RPCB]

****, that first over was something out of a Cricket video game. Gun.

Bumrah in his training clothes leaving the stadium it seems, holy shit. That’s massive.

Would be shit if he doesn’t return. He is literally must watch TV.

Absolutely. I hope he’s okay and can rest/recuperate whilst India bat. I want to see him bowl in this 4th innings.

It was a hell of a team effort from India to take the ten wickets without him.

Boland having a cracking series, sucks he can only get in the team with injuries.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Boland is the best reserve player in world cricket. Sad that he's 35yo.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Anything 200+ is going to be super difficult to chase down, hope we can tear through them for a 150 odd run chase.

 

[glenferry23]

Much depends on whether Bumrah bowls or not in the 4th innings, hard to know what a gettable/winnable target is otherwise.

This match is moving at a ridiculous pace. Pant and Boland have been phenomenal here.

 

[chef]

Gee we needed that, Pant with what could have been a match turning knock.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Game precisely where we want it. India back in their shells and you'd suspect day 3-4 will be the best time to bat. Jadeja does not look like scoring atm.

 

[Loonerty]

So delicately placed this one

 

[glenferry23]

Smith went for the spectacular when that catch was going straight to Khawaja.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

As evenly poised as it gets.

Pant showing why I was hoping India dropped in, he looked to be taking it away single-handedly.

 

[eth-dog]

Imagine having such a superstar like Boland as the fourth best seamer in the country

 

[Bradesmaen]

Konstas playing pretty stupid here.

 

[glenferry23]

No Bumrah, and from this start to their bowling it seems they’ve capitulated knowing the mountain to climb this innings. Appears this is the loosest bowling period across the entire series.

 

[chef]

India playing like they have lost already, sucks for the contest that Bumrah can't be out there.

 

[chef]

That's more trash from Konstas.

 

[chef]

Konstas playing pretty stupid here.

He's playing the wrong type of cricket, seems more suited to the shorter games.

 

[glenferry23]

That's more trash from Konstas.

Laughable really. The foot was on their throat with India already right up against it. And then that happened.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Yeh awful shot and poor match awareness, just needed to knock the ball around with so many fielders back. He is 19 so I would expect and hope that to improve with time

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

60,8,23 & 22 for Konstas in his 2 tests, not a bad start for the young bloke, lots to learn but he’s had a crack.

Doesn't seem to put any value on his wicket which isn't great for an opener.

How many balls has he faced in those 4 knocks?

 

[Planet14]

138 by my count.
