Australia tour of India (Feb '17/Mar '17)

[ParkedTheBus]

The match is meandering towards a draw. Bar the couple of overs leading up to the 60th, there hasn't been a lot of things to get you excited.

I hope to see more analysis of the Australian review against Pujara in the 59th over. An LBW ruled out due to an inside edge but further replays show that it could've well been pad first. While not conclusive enough to overturn the initial not-out decision, I feel it is too harsh that Australia had to lose a review for that. Particularly when Vijay would've been given out had Australia used a review the very next ball. Sigh.

 

[ParkedTheBus]

This is the review I was talking about. Essentially an umpire's call, not enough to lose a review.

Vijay gone just at the stroke of lunch! A big wicket for the Australians with Virat Kohli probably coming in next with the strain on his shoulder and slightly out of form.
Vijay was looking very good out there,its been that kind of a season for the Indian batters barring Kohli almost every other batsman have missed out on an opportunity to score some big hundreds (Pujara,Rahul and Vijay).

How stupid are you vijay ? Just before lunch ! Come on man. All the hard work you did is gone due to stupid shot and Aussies will be excited about that.

[AliB]

Yeah jinx them ,you can even say 250.

That's not supposed to be public, as you posted in public so now won't cross even 200.

How lucky is Kohli to not have to field and take his place in the batting order

What does the rule say? I reckon a batsman has to wait the same time/overs in the dressing room before coming in to bat from the time he left the field.Not sure about exactly how it works ,i remember Gayle last year against Srilanka in the World t20 has to wait some time before coming into the bat.
In Kohli's case its already been 70 overs before he came out to bat.

Very surprised Maxwell hasn't been used yet.

He was off for about 90 overs but whatever he's out anyway

Kohli looks like he's bored of getting runs.

Another soft dismisal and this time its Rahane. The short ball ploy works for Australia, Cummins has bowled really well the change of pace,the cross seam stuff and the slower bouncer - the ideal recepie for a fast bowler to be successful on Subcontinent conditions and Australia are using him really well bowling in short bursts not gving anything away.

 

[s2sschan]

Rahane is not producing.

Haha jeepers wonder what else he's bored of then... cars, money, private jets, sledging steve smith, money, caviar, diamonds and bling, tattoo's, money, signing his autograph, pussy, errr money... basically anything he's got an abundance of and/or done repeatedly since he picked up a cricket bat, yeah he would be one bored fella.
