They are actually playing on a road in Zimbabwe.

Kohli doesn't want to be the captain but wants to call all the shots on field .

Can’t work out why we didn’t give our bowlers a quick 20 minute session before stumps.

 

[Keys]

****ing lols all round

Pitch is a road. Giving India over a day to chase under 300 makes them favourites. Need to make them either have to chase something quickly or we can draw this and win the series in Sydney

Bumrah bowling 50+ overs with a short turn around is handy too.

Hope Gary gets a 50.

 

[Biggie]

Amazing last wicket partnership

I say that but they'll declare overnight surely. Stranded in the 40s. He must have a very high number of scores in the 40s for a no. 10/11

Just love watching Bumrah…. no fuss or histrionics from the best bowler in the world.

Geez doesn’t make our top order look too good when only Marnus and Khawaja (21) got past 20 on a road.

Must be more than a little deflating to burn all your reviews, take the new ball, and go back to your strike bowler three times, and you still can’t get out Nathan Lyon or Scott Boland.

Doesn't seem too dissimilar to yesterday where it gets easier to bat the longer the day goes. India would've walked into favourable conditions where at least in the morning hopefully they can face something similarly spicy to what we did

I dunno, with the mental demons around both openers at the moment I reckon there was value in getting them to face a few overs in fading light.

Something about an extra 8 overs tomorrow morning to make up for rain yesterday.

So 98 overs tomorrow potentially?

I'm of the opinion that we should have
had a crack tonight to win the test as the SCG is notorious for not getting a result

As it stands it could be win lose or draw tomorrow

Maybe they want to take the lose out of the equation

Promote the Goat to 6 and play an extra bowler in Sydney. Can't do worse than the bison.

Could actually make a case for replacing Marsh with Connolly as a second spinner.

 

[WA footy mad]

Marsh out fraser mcgurk in

Marsh out fraser mcgurk in

First Class average of 19 and doesn't bowl.

Yeh great idea

 

[ioppolo]

I'd put Hobson in at six personally

I can't see us declaring overnight.

Reckon we will try and bat another 4 or 5 overs.

 

[KBLT]

Gotta get Gaz his 50

 

[FKASC]

Kinda wish the scorchers still had Patterson

We should know, we've done it 348543985475349857 times over the last 5 years.

 

[THE A5]

Safa’s needed 148 to seal up a world test championship spot. Currently 8 for 116 needing 32 more. Classic saffas if they lose
