India tour of Australia Nov'20-Jan'21

I would have sent Pant at 3 to attack. If he failed, then I would have sent Pujara at 4 to draw the match.

I still feel what Puji is doing is good as long as Gill plays aggressively. If we manage to score 110-120 runs in this session, we can win this match baring rain. If a wicket falls here, Pant will definitely come in.
 
Gill looks like he is going to throw it away. Playing shots on very much every short ball.
Well Starc gives plenty of balls for him to dine on.
Same old story with Starc . He lets off the pressure that Cummins and Hazlewood build.

Starc musta figured he was playing T20.. just gifted India a moral boosting 20 runs from the one over. Why did Paine continue bowling him????

Pant should come later but Mayank should have come on instead of Rahane.
 
That is going to be a crucial moment in the game. Having lost Gill post that magnificent innings, cannot lose Puji to injury right now.
 
What more has this team left to endure?

No need for the shenanigans. Last twenty overs you can get 100 odd. India's approach is on the money. Bat normally and on merit and then take a call the last hour.
 
Aghhhh Rahane - Soft dismissal that was looking to score with intent but has to go now.
 
Just when the moment again was shifting after the tough period, Rahane departs from a soft disposal. Pant in now and next 10-12 overs will be crucial.
 
Australia needs Pant cheaply as he scores quickly. He can also be risky at times.

Hats off to Pujara for wearing plenty from Hazlewood and Cummins. Unfortunately Puji did not give us his valuable wicket.
 
I do not think we are going for a win. Again could be absolutely wrong but for now I think 150 in 33 is a little too much even for Pant and Agarwal.
 
20 straight balls without a run after tea; looks like we're set for a draw.
