Australia v India Test Series: General Discussion

Not open for further replies.
Made it lunch somehow after that double blow. Let's see if Marsh and Handscomb can do something. Really hope we can see a long fight. Every run gets them closer to making India bat again which takes up more time (2 overs lost for the change of innings) plus the time to chase a target. 60 overs to go. I think there's no weather of consequence.
 
Bloody hell, I go away and look what happens:

28.4
Sharma to Renshaw, OUT, A fired-up Ishant has produced the wicket. Clever bowling. He has set him up for the bouncer but has given him the full ball. On a length, just outside off, Renshaw caught back, the ball seams back in, stays a touch low, and traps him right in front. Renshaw is filthy with himself, but this has been good bowling
MT Renshaw lbw b Sharma 15 (84b 1x4 0x6) SR: 17.85

29.1Jadeja to Smith, OUT, Smith pads up to one outside leg, but it spins past the pad to flatten the off stump. This is an inverted replay of what Jadeja did to Smith four years ago in Delhi. Bowled when shouldering alone. So what has Smith done wrong here? This is outside leg, so it is okay to pad it away, but it is slightly half-committed padding. Doesn't cover the line enough, leaving the ball a chance to spin past the pad. Pujara used to stride forward when padding up. Smith has only half a forward movement. And Jadeja rips it from the rough. This could be over for Australia
SPD Smith b Jadeja 21 (68b 2x4 0x6) SR: 30.88

Oh dear, saved by the lunch adjournment :(....
 
I had been avoiding cricinfo, brought up the page and Smith gets out.......
 
India getting desperate.
Bad review for lbw.

Pitching - Outside leg

And then I suspect
Hitting in line - Umpires call
Stumps - Missing
 
CricViz draw prediction back above 51%.

Like to see the Aussies scoring a few more though - that will really put the Indians under pressure
 
Through to drinks. 3hrs to go.

CricViz now up to 55% draw with a median of 9/249 at stumps (requires 141 in 44 overs which seems high, although guess we will get a new ball)
 
Well done Handscomb and SMarsh.
Through to Tea, 3 behind.

CricViz now has the draw at 85%
Stumps prediction of 8/248 (another 99 in 27 overs, new ball due in 11)
 
Well done at tea!

Good test match where exciting on 5 th day at tea!

Correction from something I said earlier, Clarkey "was" talking about SMarsh being picked for his ability to play spin in India. I thought they were talking about the sent home brother.

Wow, are my eyes deceiving me?? No, some of my heroes are showing up (.I'll even admit I hadn't put SMsrsh in that group). If he's gets us through I'll eat my words

Another DRS review for SMarsh by India
Hit pretty high

Impact In line - Yes
Wickets - Umpires call
So not out

Just under half the ball on the stumps.

No more reviews for India for 10 overs

And India get a ball change, will this one grip a bit more
 
Australia ahead, 100 partnership up, Handscomb to 50 and Marsh not far behind
CricViz now to 92% draw
