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

[Fenil]

Watching the match on delayed streaming. Has the commentators already mentioned about the three triple centuries of Jadeja?

EDIT: I see no reason why Kohli has not declared yet. Jadeja is good at nothing but lofting one in the hands of a fielder at cow corner/mid wicket.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel Pujara has played way too slow today?

Yup, as much as I'm a fan of Pujara I thought he batted a bit too slow. 72 runs off 197 balls he scored today. I guess he played 50 balls too much given the situation today but when we think of it, playing 525 balls demands top notch fitness level. Saha too should have attacked after reaching 50.

Time to declare. Don't understand Umesh blocking.

Bad display by the Indians here buying on time on the morning of Day 4! Poor stuff, not expecting less though, guess Kohli is being manipulated by the CoA.

This is an atrocious tactical blunder from India. They have achieved nothing by batting in the last hour or so. Im apalled by this strategy. Australia should have been batting at least 15 overs today.

What do india gain by letting australia bat 15 overs more? They're not going to just give Australia a sniff of winning if it meant they had a chance of losing the series this match, are they!? India had 2 choices this whole match win or draw, as soon as australia made 450 they knew they couldn't bat carefree until australia was out of the match. Good tactics, boring to watch though.

Wouldn't be surprised if australia score 400 tomorrow, nothing to lose, they will have a license to bat carefree all day. It doesn't even matter if we lose.

Lmao 15 overs? Whats the tactic behind that?

To give time to bowlers to get some wickets and try and push for win may be? No?

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Gone. Jadeja has done it with that rough stuff,he is the man if India are to win this one.

 

[LiveLoveABD]

Kohli being completely immature and stupid with his celebrations! Good to give it back, but no need for that in my opinion.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

It's draw or India now going into the final day. I would still fancy India's chances especially with Jadeja and the rough stuff.

That was an absolute Jaffa from Jaddu!

Take a look at the score and you would know why. 8 overs were too hot to handle for the Aussies . Imaging what could've happened if they had to face another 10 overs or so.

Would be very surprised if they reach somewhere close to even 300.

They needed Smith today IMO. Also, there are one or two hardcore Ashwin fans here and they might not like it but I felt he was piss poor today as well.

Renshaw too a 60 - 70 from him would be handy to pull of a draw for Australia. He and Smith are the key wickets not sure how Maxwell will play in such circumstances with pitch turning if the wickets does fall early tomorrow.
