India tour of Australia Nov'20-Jan'21

I can image the drop off Ashwin would have been a tricky one since you're standing so close to the batsmen, but was the second chance a decent one? Not watching the match visually, so going only by text commentary it appears that the second one should have been taken.

Actually the catch against Ashwin was a regulation catch against a spinner - not much of a big deflection off the bat. Its was a thin edge headed straight for where the gloves were positioned

Aussies dominating this session by far - only positive for us has been that they havent run away with it (yet)

Horrible time for Saini to come in to bowl with both batsmen settled - what a welcome

 

[AliB]

Nothing much apart from the two dropped chances, Australia's session by far, there's absolutely nothing in the pitch let's what our guys have in the bag after being tired for 2 days and being hit for 600 odd runs, I'm afraid this one's for Australia...

If only we had Saha keeping...

Yes. Let's blow this out of proportion. Start blame culture. Trademark of this side's leadership and management.

Big Hundreds Coming up for the Australian Batsmen & atleast 400-450 on a very good batting track.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Just 2 Overs so far but Saini is all over the place..... Short & Wide .... then full on leg side.

 

[abhi_jacko]

Real test for Rahane here - how does he react when things dont go your way

 

[LiveLoveABD]

Bowled too much stuff between full and good. Need to pitch it up.

 

[abhi_jacko]

Big break .. we really needed it. Finally Saini hitting the right length after two overs of pure tripe

How good is this guy?

 

[LiveLoveABD]

Manjrekar was advocating good length and as soon as the wicket fell he's using the 15 deliveries Saini has bowled and his pitch map to prove how bowling full is better. Just as he was advocating.

Smith is looking Superb Already 200 Definitely coming. Two Glorious drives on the up.

 

[abhi_jacko]

Smith has come out looking very positive here .. need to bring out Ashwin. Will be interesting to see if he takes him on
