Lyon really needs to take wickets on a day 5 pitch .
This isnt a typical day 5 pitch though. Its hardly ragging. He has looked dangerous in parts but doesnt look like being the match winner today. If we do win he will need to contribute a couple of wickets but the quicks will need to get at least 5 of the 7 IMO.
I think India will be conservative and content with the draw but if they do decide to go for it then we are in with a decent chance of taking the 7 remaining poles. We will know within the first 2 or 3 overs what their intent is.

You should head over to the test match thread on the cricket board and post this. At least three times.

Gonna be a lot said about Pant’s two stupid shots if they lose this. What are you doing trying to hit sixes when you’re not chasing the win? They were cruising to a draw before that moment.

Don't care what cricket poindexters say, but deliberately playing for a draw when you have a whole day of batting to go for a win is WEAK.

Dodgy Snicko nearly cost us there.
Why don’t we have Hotspot this series?

I don’t think they were necessarily opposed to chasing the win, but they started pretty watchfully (as Aus did in their second innings) and ended up being 3/33 at lunch. At that point there was no point in chasing a win.
You also have to go at better than 3.5 RPO against a very good attack for 92 overs, and break a 97 year old record for highest-ever run chase at the MCG. In terms of probability you’re far more likely to salvage a draw and then head to Sydney only needing a draw to maintain the trophy.

Clear deflection from 3 different angles
Don't think it got a spike on snicko because it was off the flat face right where the stickers are .
Wonder if hawk eye could pick up the deflection?

Fox were showing the path of the deflection, was pretty obvious

Hotspot was less reliable than snicko and was super expensive I believe so they didn't think it was worth it.
And would've robbed us of some Indian melts so great call imo

Oh I know their mindset for sure, but settling (at this point) for a draw instead of aiming for a win will never make sense to me. However I am an alpha male who makes million dollar deals before breakfast and owns 3 houses on Whore Island, so that beta behaviour will never play in my lifestyle.

Thought it was the broadcaster who had to pony up the money and the required technology to support the review systems? Maybe Seven spent all their money funding defamation lawsuits by scumbags and couldn’t afford Hotspot.

I thought that Pakistan was the leading exporter of salt not india
You can tell he is eaten away by the conundrum of balancing his attacking mindset with common sense
