Australia tour of India - 4 tests
- Thread starter The Man Himself
- Start date
This will probably end in a draw, right?
That's the likely result but it will all depend on how Australia bats tomorrow. Only India can realistically win from here.
Good save
India has declared at 603/9 with a first innings lead of 152. Only India can feasibly win from here. AUS must not lose a wicket before stumps.
Okeefe probably cursing his very existence after that grind
Here we go 
Jadeja is fantastic. Better than Ashwin for me. He's almost like a left handed Kumble.
Not what Aus needed to put it mildly.
Jadeja is such a wonderful bowler.. I usually dislike left arm spinners but he's amazing
Snap.
One more please.
Ridiculously good from Jadeja
lololol didnt expect that
didnt expect thatIndia will win this now. They'll bowl AUS out and win this game batting once or getting a minimal second innings total if needed. Hoping no Australian fans complain about the pitch.
Battle for survival tomorrow
Sir Jadeja to run thru before teaJadeja is fecking magic.
If Renshaw and Smith do their jobs we draw.
Kohli needs to grow up a bit and focus on his game.
Jadeja's delivery to Lyon was brilliant.
Incredible bowler to watch.

Jadeja >>> Ashwin
I know the stats don't show it and Ashwin is going to own all kinds of records...but, I much prefer Jadeja.
Plus...he's fun with the bat and superb in the field.

Got my doubts either of them can stay in long enough for a draw to be realistic. They both need to stay in until lunch really. India will get 100+ overs if that's what they need. A draw is very unlikely.
Jadeja is priceless. Like you said -- can bat and one of the best fielders in the world.. and he bowls like that..
People praising Jadeja - He can be inconsistent and isn't very effective on foreign pitches. In India, I would take Jadeja over Ashwin any day of the week.
Warner averages 30 away from Australia. t's getting to the point where we should just leave him at home when we go on tour. Absolutely fecking useless.
Apart from South Africa where is a good, but he is the very definition of a flat track bully.
Steve 'best since Bradman' Smith
Just 63 overs to negate with Maxwell and Wade still to come it. Think Aus will bat it out.
Is there an uglier batsman than Steve Smith? I mean he's clearly a fantastic player but he most definitely is not a player I look forward to watching unlike Root, Kohli, Williamson, Warner etc..
He's Paul Collingwood, with more talent.
I had a look through the discussion of this test on the big footy forum last night and one poster said that he couldn't care if Warner made centuries during the ashes, he is just hopeless away from Australia. Now, IMO no doubt some of the sycophantic Australian media (James Brayshaw, Michael Slater, tubby etc) will fawn over him if he does score a century during the ashes and he'll be portrayed as a legend in the making but away from Australia he's not up to the mustard.
Good little partnership here. Still not out of the woods yet thought
Starting to believe this could be a draw.
Last 2-3 overs have been good for Australia. Runs are crucial. At least give yourself a buffer in case a collapse happens. Every 7-8 runs they will lead by will be worth an over.
This will be a draw now barring a monumental collapse.
He soaked up 11 overs, all he needed to do. Far more valuable than the runs.Steve 'best since Bradman' Smith
Was more about the way he got out.
Jadjea is such an overappealing cnut.
Someone needs to actually remind him of lbw laws.

Gonna be a draw, but will be nice to see a couple more wickets fall
Been a well fought test match. Both teams showing character when it mattered.
Great character shown by both teams. Brendan Rodgers will be proud.
