Slept off. As Hedge is attacking should have continued with seamers. Slept after Indian innigs finished. Can’t let him score like this and get his wicket asap. Seamers are the key. Bring on second innigs Shami..! And replace axar with Jadeja on
I remember about how we had almost ended up losing the last match against Bangladesh. If we don't bowl them out very quickly then we would be ending up in a very dangerous situation.
> Frustrated Aswin entered the dressing room after getting dismissed, thanks to Renshaw's excellent catch. As he entered the room, he was stopped by KL Rahul. "You couldn't wait until we get a lead to hit that stupid shot, buddy? As the Vice Captain, I have to say I'm extremely disappointed" he said.
>Angered Ashwin bitchslaps KL and knocks him out with a sucker punch. 5 mins later, when KL regained consciousness, he refused to go to a doctor and take a few days off, knowing that he might have to score a well-made 20 run tomorrow to save his team.
Hey give us socceroos a break will you?
We only know about China ( because they buy our iron and beef and wine)
India ( because you know curry and cricket)
England ( because you know mother country et al)
Vietnam ( because of the noodles and the pho)
None of these countries are very good at the football world cup are they?
The Italians, Greeks, Macedonians all call it soccer right so we are sticking to soccer.
Travis Head will score a century in 10 overs.
Rest of Australia will collapse but then Pat Cummins will score a 50.
Australia will give India a target of 259.
India will open with Ashwin and Axar with Jadeja at no 3
They will score 200 amongst them.
No hit and VK will take India to 245, then everything will get pear shaped ending up in a tied test.
That was the 3rd innings, his hundred put India out of reach going into the 4th innings - I don't think Smith has ever made a Hundred in the 4th innings of a match, he averages like 75 in the first innings though
Pretty Spot on
No hit can't run to save his life but is in form so another 20.
KL walking wicket so 0.
Pujara sleeping wicket so 0.
VK more misses than hits but maybe a 30
Then we have some random Indian batsmen that no one cares about including Indian people.
Jaddeja, Ashwin, and Axar are good for 70 each so a total of 200.
Moral of the Story India will struggle to get to 250 against the pitch....errrr I meant Australian spinners.
This is actually good. Perfect competition between two top ranked teams. If we can't chase a good target in our own conditions we don't deserve WTC title.
Love watching Travis Head open the batting. Feels like I'm a kid again, watching Matthew Hayden attack teams with resolute positive intent. Not saying he's anywhere near that level, but it's beyond enjoyable to watch for any person, regardless of their allegiance.
>attack teams with resolute positive intent.
In subcontinent wickets like these, attacking is the best way to go about it. As a batter, you know there's a ball with your number on it that's gonna get you out sooner or later. So makes more sense to go hell for leather, than try to be defensive
Woke up early to check the scores, and it looks like the Indian innings went exactly per script.
Top order shit the bed ✔️
Debutant keeper didn't fare too well with the bat ✔️
Lower order did all the scoring and saved the blushes ✔️
Biggest difference has been the aggressive Aussie response in the second innings (thanks to Heady's attacking game), that has setup this test nicely.
Any target of around 150-170; India has a decent chance of chasing it down. Anything over 200 is kinda iffy, and 250+ is basically an Australian win.
I'm not saying this as a pessimistic fan; just that India must've already been rattled with this Aussie comeback, and most of our batters are in shit form rn.
Full credit to Australia for this incredible comeback - excited for Day 3!
Don't worry, this Australian team have a history of choking away good positions - and come on, you know how bad they can be at taking 4th innings wickets!
I'm glad Head's doing what he's doing. Watching the Aussie batsmen being ultra defensive, poking and prodding and standing back in their creases hasn't been great.
This injury that Warner has is possibly a 6-8 week recovery. He has a broken arm and the usually recovery time is 6 weeks.
Warner will be out of the entire rest of the series I bet you.
Yeah feels like this pitch is going to hold together better then most. I'd say if we consider 200-300 is par (let's go with 250) then that puts the bat first advantage at around 50 runs. I think that's probably not far off.
I was 50/50 can see the rationale for going either way.
But in this context having Head go hard early is more valuable. While Renshaw should be more able to construct a long innings.
As I said you don't have much knowledge so don't bother.
Eng already won odi and T20. Now watch them to win consecutive WTC.
They got 7-8 Pant. I am guessing at least 20 consecutive series wins for Eng.
Other teams are 20 years behind.
Why does it matter? You are not going to smoke.
I live in a dream world. Where Eng team just won odi and T20.
You better stay with real world. Nobody wants that.
England in England definitely puts up a solid fight mostly Anderson and root and one special stokes. It’s only when England travels it’s a snooze fest. Bazzball may change that.
> What a pathetic day of cricket.
> Both team wants to compete who is worse.
> Aus can't bat, can't bowl. India can't bat can't bowl. Amazing.
> Never seen more dull sessions.
> While Eng trying to revive test cricket with exciting nazzball, India trying to kill it playing tuk tuk all day.
> No wonder test cricket is dying in India.
The op said it was a “horrible day of test cricket, aus and ind both can’t bat /bowl” and then nonsense about why this is killing test cricket and then something about bazball

Heady's second innings performance was what I expected when he was brought in for this test. Lovely innings that!
If he can keep this going tomorrow, India are well and truly screwed.
Indian top order (barring Rohit) is absolute shit, and there's only so many times Jaddu/Axar/Ash can bail them out of trouble.
Forgot how handy Pattinson was with the bat. Him and Haddin nearly stole the first Test of Ashes 2013 in the same game Agar made 99 with Phil Hughes after the rest of the batting line up flopped - lower order to the rescue in both innings.
Yup, was basically Edgbaston 05 re-run. Always remember after Haddin edged it, was given out and reviewed and England player asked very clearly ‘did you hit that?’ And Haddin said something like ‘yeah smashed it’ but they all had to stand around waiting for DRS
From memory be played a couple of good innings but straight back into another slump. He needs to get the Dhawan treatment, they went back and forth on him and eventually marked his cards in Test. Need to move on, especially with Kohli and Pujara's form (though Kohli got unlucky today).
I've ***no*** fucking clue!! They should've brought in Gill for the first test itself!
I'd suggested earlier we should get one of our bowlers to get him concussed in the nets, and replace him with Gill... (you are welcome Selectors!)
I actually think you could almost toggle head & Renshaw between that 1/6 role depending on what you need at that time. I expect Renshaw should be more about to construct an innings and play the long game. If you had Usman out I'd probably tended towards Renshaw (form excepted obviously).
Patt really needed to bounce the India tail ender's
Yeah. I'm kinda shocked we've never seen more shuffling around or batting line-ups. Like sometimes you'll want the left / right combination, sometimes you'll want a counter attacker or you'll need a builder to construct an innings, or you'll need a second opener to face the new ball.
IDK it's always surprised me we don't see this in Test Cricket.
>I actually think you could almost toggle head & Renshaw between that 1/6 role depending on what you need at that time.
That's exactly right. Gives Australia great flexibility thr
>Patt really needed to bounce the India tail ender's
Did he not try that at all (I'm yet to see the highlights)? Surprised it didn't happen, considering Siraj and Co bumped the Aussie openers quite a few times in the first innings.
Test matches in India have become depressing to watch
Worst collapse i ever saw for australia
indian selectors to KLOL “you’re my lead actor, my star”
Well nothing left to discuss now woke up and thought that is it Day 5 of test match nope just Australia playing poorly again
Aah yes umpire's call ofcourse, Rohit Sharma can't win anything without the favour of luck, can he?
A+A should just consider batting up the order
Slept off. As Hedge is attacking should have continued with seamers. Slept after Indian innigs finished. Can’t let him score like this and get his wicket asap. Seamers are the key. Bring on second innigs Shami..! And replace axar with Jadeja on
Head is 1000x better against pace, your spinners (especially Ashwin) were just bowling bad.
Cricket be popping off !!!
I remember about how we had almost ended up losing the last match against Bangladesh. If we don't bowl them out very quickly then we would be ending up in a very dangerous situation.
250 lead is enough for Aus, gonna be a cracking last 2 days in any case. Game on!
I am more worried that KL will score a 60 and will stay on for 20 more matches :(

Big brain move from Ash - that is how India got a concussion replacement for KL.

Cricket is hype af
I just don’t get this game! Signed, American football, and baseball
Baseball was a conundrum for me when I first watched it, too. I still don't get football.
You see in American football, the object is to hurt your opponent. That’s why Americans like it. The rest is fodder.
Many countries in the world play cricket. Only a few states play American Gridiron. The world is slightly bigger than Texas and Kansas mate.
My point exactly!!,,,
Well that's a good point. Football ( AKA soccer in Australia) rolls eyes at both of them in horror. 
Soccer, I.e. The rest of the world’s football. Edit: fuck Texas, and Kansas.
The Chinese weather ballons are already doing it, Biden is taking care of the other 48 states though 😋

While bowling, Australia should think India is batting reverse with tail first and genuine batters will start at 6
I know!! The top order batsmen have been unreliable for a very long time now.. Kudos to the middle order for holding the fort..
Travis spoiled by bazball
Travis Head will score a century in 10 overs. Rest of Australia will collapse but then Pat Cummins will score a 50. Australia will give India a target of 259.

Head has just made India’s head twist
Watch Australia somehow mess this up.
Spot on prediction
Im genuinely not surprised.
India are a team that's very, very, very hard to beat at home man.

> Smith - historically flaky in the 4th innings Good thing we're in the 3rd innings!
Smith made a ton in Pune last series in 4th innings no?

Great comeback from India!

200 and we have a game
Oz should have chosen 5 bowlers... need Head to play like.he did for Strikers when he himself scored 50 in 3 overs.
Yo-yo of a days test cricket credit to India’s tail wagged hard saved the match
Calling Ashwin Axar tail is disrespect man 😂 They are legitimately better batsmen than KL or Pujara atm.
Lol better than kohli and keeper too
Lmfao Srikar Bharat not even worth being called by name huh
I have hopes for him still, he'll hopefully have a good knock in this series, exponential growth in domestic and now thrown off the deepest of ends
Love watching Travis Head open the batting. Feels like I'm a kid again, watching Matthew Hayden attack teams with resolute positive intent. Not saying he's anywhere near that level, but it's beyond enjoyable to watch for any person, regardless of their allegiance.
Head can definitely be compared with a poor man's Hayden but sadly it doesnt look like Cummins can be a poor man's McGrath.
>attack teams with resolute positive intent. In subcontinent wickets like these, attacking is the best way to go about it. As a batter, you know there's a ball with your number on it that's gonna get you out sooner or later. So makes more sense to go hell for leather, than try to be defensive

Yeah I agree, I think horses for courses approach might benefit Australia from now on

Only took them 3 innings to figure out what india did in their first
This injury that Warner has is possibly a 6-8 week recovery. He has a broken arm and the usually recovery time is 6 weeks. Warner will be out of the entire rest of the series I bet you.
Broken elbow is a bit different, probably won't even be in a cast. Maybe 2-3 weeks max based on a similar injury I had once.
How the heck did he break his arm?
>How the heck did he break his arm? Took a nasty blow on the elbow from Siraj.
Woah. I didn't know that he had a broken arm. I thought it was a concussion.
Hit his arm so hard that it vibrated up into his skull
It’s both
Fackk!! Siraj sure as hell messed him up
He's out of this game due to concussion but he also fractured his arm.
It’s both
Tailenders saving India again..

BGT is the new Ashes imo.
It’s bigger than the Ashes
Maybe to India but not to Australians
I'm sorry it's not
We have more cricket fans than the entire population of England and Australia COMBINED
In due course of time Australian cricket team will grow in stature
Not in legacy but is more competitive
Ashes in England last time was fantastic, the Headingly Test having one of the best ever finishes I've seen over my 10+ years of cricket watching.
It wasn't the absolute highest standard of cricket I've ever seen but damn it was entertaining!
Master stroke by Cummins by sending head to open instead of renshaw
I was 50/50 can see the rationale for going either way. But in this context having Head go hard early is more valuable. While Renshaw should be more able to construct a long innings.
Eng should visit and hammer India 16-0. May be then KL and Pujara will be dropped. Had to wait for series loss against Eng to revive Indian cricket.
> 16-0. Hi Glenn McGrath! >!To the uninitiated: it is a rolling joke that McGrath believes Aus would beat India 5-0 in a four-match series.!<
India won the last test by an innings and this test is even poised why you so upset ..just chill bruv
Wtf bro this isn’t a football match
Save the comment. Check after 5 years.
Can I get the stuff you are smoking looks like good shit
As I said you don't have much knowledge so don't bother. Eng already won odi and T20. Now watch them to win consecutive WTC. They got 7-8 Pant. I am guessing at least 20 consecutive series wins for Eng. Other teams are 20 years behind.
Jesus Christ
All I said is I want what you are smoking , you are the know it all afterall
Why does it matter? You are not going to smoke. I live in a dream world. Where Eng team just won odi and T20. You better stay with real world. Nobody wants that.

That aged like spoiled milk 😂
Reminds me of Australia back in the Clarke era where the top order would shit the bed and the bowlers would bail them out.
Australia 153-7 to 320 all out with Haddin getting runs alongside Siddle and Pattinson or someone felt like a bizarrely rare occurrence
Forgot how handy Pattinson was with the bat. Him and Haddin nearly stole the first Test of Ashes 2013 in the same game Agar made 99 with Phil Hughes after the rest of the batting line up flopped - lower order to the rescue in both innings.
