34 more overs left in the day.

Come on BCCI.

Lol.
One good shot & They go hyperdrive with superlative praises on how worthy they are. Next ball they get out due to that strong obnoxious jinx.
Happens with BCCI commentators too.

Wade needs to find a way to get off strike to Ashwin
he looks like getting out every ball

He hasnt had a sore back the whole series!

For someone that got hyped as a specialist I wanted more then 151 runs at 18.

you forget he played one match saving innings where runs were of no objective

Warner hasnt played any important innings here

In his 33 test innings, he only bats good one innings of single test.he may be change that trend today

you cant call it a shot if the bat is behind the pad

That was very harsh.
To the naked eye, the ball looked like it was missing leg.
Maxi robbed.

Ashwin can bat though
do you think any (sane) selector would choose Lyon ahead of Ashwin?

I thought you were talking purely on form this series?

Lyon has been the better bowler and both have done f**k all with the bat.

Ashwin's form has been as good as Lyon's
Lyon had a shocker in the third test and second half of the second test
Ashwin has been more consistent all the way through

Katto · Postby **Katto** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 9:38 am

unfortunately he'll have nothing to bowl at here

baggygreenmania · Postby **baggygreenmania** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 9:39 am

Into the tail now after that brain fade by Maxwell. Must get at least a 100 lead..something to bowl at.

Katto · Postby **Katto** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 9:46 am

I think batsmen could go aerial more here
atmosphere is light, the ball carries in the air at altitude

runs are required

bolero · Postby **bolero** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 9:50 am

Cummins will Wade into the Indian bowling like a knife slices through butter.

baggygreenmania · Postby **baggygreenmania** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:04 am

Not sure just 20 runs off 110 balls is the way to go. Throwing the bat to get as many as possible is better than blocking and waiting for an edge.

Katto · Postby **Katto** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:05 am

just waiting to get out

Verity · Postby **Verity** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:12 am

2-1 India win what a bad way for the series to end.

Feel sorry for Smith 3 hundreds, not 1 other Aussie batsmen scored a single one.

Katto · Postby **Katto** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:17 am

speaking of spastics
SOK delivered there

baggygreenmania · Postby **baggygreenmania** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:18 am

The least likely Maxwell scored one.
The Indians neutralised our superior pace bowlers with flat, grassless decks. In other words typical Indian tracks.That was a telling tactic in my view.

Going South · Postby **Going South** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:18 am

SIR Jadeja.

Respect !

thats been the problem all series. batting not good enough.

Indians have been stronger mentally too, they've won the big moments. Whenever there's been verbals they've come out on top more often than the other way around.

Jadeja's innings here was pivotal.

Katto · Postby **Katto** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:20 am

121 for fks sake

what a pathetic batting effort in the 3rd innings

baggygreenmania · Postby **baggygreenmania** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:22 am

Seven and below has been next to useless in this series. Our slow bowlers should both be able to handle a bat. Neither are reliable. Both are clueless against quality spin. How often in the past has the tail scored valuable team runs.

Katto · Postby **Katto** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:23 am

the top order havent been much better to be fair

Katto · Postby **Katto** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:24 am

imagine if Steve Smith had been injured for this series
it'd be 4-0 instead of 2-1

Katto · Postby **Katto** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:30 am

too little too late from Wade
see 6's are easy on this ground...little air resistance

It aint 2-1 yet mate. Josh and Pat wil come our breathing fire.

Boycs · Postby **Boycs** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:32 am

9 down with a lead of 99. India just dropped an easy slip catch to take the 10th wicket, but everyone drops dollies in their career.

It will come, Wade looks clueless on this spitting pitch so imagine how the tail enders are going to fare...

Katto · Postby **Katto** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:33 am

LOL Ashwin looking around for someone else to blame for dropping that catch :lol:

Boycs · Postby **Boycs** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:35 am

Short, wide and dispatched. That's a bit better, and against Indian pacers he'd be okay. Get the spinner on, it was just hitting him in the pads as he played and missed about five balls in a row.

Katto · Postby **Katto** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:38 am

grounded catch

whats the bet Hazlewood is out next ball when they come back on the field :lol:

winning margin, get your bets in

I say 6 wickets

Going South · Postby **Going South** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:45 am

105 is the lead.

Don't lose any wickets today.

baggygreenmania · Postby **baggygreenmania** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:46 am

Shame the baggy greens had to save their lamest batting for their last innings of the series. They have been far from disgraced. Many predicted a 4-0 win to the home side. But this Aussie side led inspirationally by the hard as steel Steve Smith would not lie down. :hatsoff:

Until now.
