India's tour of Australia - December/January 2015

[PokerAce]

Rahane is scoring at a fine rate, but can't stop the feeling that he needs to tighten up a good deal. Has got away with some loose shots.

These two need to bat through the day if we want to end well. Pujara's wicket was a big setback especially since he looked good for a big one

Draw is the likely outcome unless Australians can grab a couple of quick wickets after tea.

We cannot afford to lose more than one wicket in the final session today. If we can manage that, the game is well poised going into tomorrow. I have absolutely no confidence in Rohit Sharma. Anything from him would be a bonus. We must somehow manage to reach 400 as a bare minimum here. Anything over 400 and I would be happy.

@Epic, see what I was saying during the England tour? I have absolutely no idea how Rahane makes runs. Not complaining, but he looks like a tailender half the time.

@Aalay Kohli is so good. It should be illegal to be this good. This is why he gets himself out.

Right halfway there with just 3 down. Well Done so far.

Overs 80-90 will be key today. Clarke giving his fast bowlers a good rest. We don't want three wickets falling to the new ball as happened to Aus in the first innings.

@PokerAce it was a compliment to Rahane! It's clear he works so hard on his game. He's very gritty, and obviously he's doing something right to have done so well. But he's not always the prettiest to watch.

Lyon has bowled so well today. Deserves everything he's got. No luck there.

Right Rohit to smash a quick 264 and we can all be in awe again.

Lyon doing a Moeen Ali almost. Although Lyon has a lot more help off the pitch. Sharmaji, needs to survive although won't be surprised if he doesn't

I think otherwise. I think he is a very pretty batsman to watch. Needs to work on tightening his game once he gets in.

Yeah he has looked by far the most dangerous. The Rahane delivery was unplayable totally.[DOUBLEPOST=1418277841][/DOUBLEPOST]Can Karn do the same job in innings three. Lets hope.

If we had Ashwin could he have been as probing as Lyon has been all innings. Doubt it.

Rohit to sky a slog sweep to leg gully off Mitchell Johnson more like.

We will probably be all out twice on Day 3!

Anyways, I predict India to be all out twice on Day 3 and give the match to Australia.

Bad Prediction........You shouldn't Predict anything after this match.
