India tour of Australia - 2018/19

The pitch is starting to show its true colors now. Has definitely spiced up post lunch and our bowlers have also found their rhythm and lengths

I have no issue with spice. It can swing, seam and spin as much as it likes. There’s a bit of variable bounce on Day 4 and 5 on the best of tracks. But for it to be so up and down on Day 1 is piss poor. I bet you that had this been a sub continent wicket, the uproar would have been furious.

Pant drops a simple catch from Marsh

Pant drops a simple catch from Marsh

Was a really easy catch, just hard hands on the take.. Now Manjrekar aiming Pant showing how he shuts up after dropping it.. Real mature from him..

------------------------------------------------------------------

Ashwin is definitely missed.. Jadeja would have been great addition to this instead of Umesh..

 

[abhi_jacko]

We need a wicket before the new ball ... these two are well set now

Really getting screwed over by this team selection ... massive misjudgment by Kohli

What a catch by Rahul

Vihari the man again tbh the pick of the bowlers for me so far in the test match.

 

[abhi_jacko]

Kohli really needs to block the flow of runs now ... its been too easy with the kind of fields he has

 

[LiveLoveABD]

I can understand the 4 quicks selection looking at the track. I can't understand why and on what basis Umesh got in ahead of BK. Our selections on all the tours has been so poor.. I guess, we value the inputs of good tv like 'goti' rather than sense.

What a performance by Bumrah though! Best bowler on display by far. I think we now have the best batsman and the best bowler in the world across formats.

Need to pick up couple of wickets with the 2nd new ball now.

If Australia are not 7 down by the close of play, 350+ score is on the cards and that is not a good sign at all for the Indian batsmen.

 

[LiveLoveABD]

Can we dream of bowling them out for 300?

 

[Bigby Wolf]

The way the pitch is behaving right now good luck to the Indian batters in the 4th innings. As I said before on such pitches the toss winner is crucial you win the toss you end up winning the game more often than not son aything over 150 will be impossible to chase on this wicket. It all downs to how we bat in our first innings bat once ...bat big but that looks improbable with the batting lineup we have at the moment.

 

[asprin]

I'm wondering how much our tail would have got from this point onwards, i.e 268/6.

My best guest would be 285-ish?
