Border-Gavaskar Trophy | Season Review | Post #293

Do you want the three CA XIs to play a simultaneous domestic series?

  • Yes - it'll add realism and ensure that my players have game time.

    Votes: 13 72.2%
  • No - it's over-complicated and puts the Indians at a disadvantage.

What a brilliant comeback that was after the way India were batting on Day 2. Unbelievable opening partnership that! Take a bow, Orton and Baromono. :thumbs

Now let's not collapse the way they did. There's plenty of time left in this Test. We should aim for a 500+ lead before declaration.
 
Another hundred gone and another horrible day for us. Bowling just got worse as their openers cashed in. Now hopefully we do well and atleast save the match!

Be realistic, buddy. We will have about five sessions to bat out which is a tall ask on Day 4 and 5. It does not seem to be a probability looking at our batting in this series so far.

Looking at how easy the runs are coming off, I say it's going to be a draw. Australia wasted way too much time, damn cricksim indeed.
 
We could do with an early few wickets to get us into the middle-lower order by lunch. Come on guys, we're so close!

Reminds me of DBC. :D
 
Still we have big task ahead of us to save this match,finally a 50 for me after some pathetic knocks.
 
I'm pretty sure that one day is enough for us to get through the Indian line-up but given how the pitch is playing the match might just end up as a draw. Let's see! :)
 
Test is heading Towards Draw Now :).

Looking at how easy the runs are coming off, I say it's going to be a draw. Australia wasted way too much time, damn cricksim indeed.

Runs were coming easier in the first innings when Virat and User were batting. We will have to battle it out on the fifth day pitch, do not forget that. That said, cricsim is known to be unreal at times which is quite acceptable because that is the way cricket is - you never know might happen next in cricket match.
 
There's no point dwelling over that awfully late declaration now. What's done is done.

Getting 9 wickets on the last day is still very achievable with the bowling attack we have, coupled with India's tendency to collapse. Let's go for it. :thumbs
 
Our Bowlers did poorly in this series so far... but the good thing from this test is, finally me and arun opens the innings with good partnership... lets bat well on last day, and finish this with a draw...
