Australia is not getting to 300!

This is incredible stuff.

How the tables turn. Sounds like a great match.

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

I think Australia know that their bowlers havd bowled a lot. If you give 300 in 90+ overs then you leave the possibility that if India needs say 150 off the last session against tired bowlers which is very possible

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

WTC adds an extra angle to this. Draw is fine for Australia while India need a win

Feck, yeah. Unbelievable. Had about fifteen heart attacks

What a days cricket that was. That dropped catch of Lanuschange you felt was an important moment and Siraj also spilled a tough chance from Lyon later on. Still feel Australia have enough but you never know with these teams.

They easily have enough IMO

I'd be happy with a draw here

Cannot beata test going to the 5th day with all to play for.
So much better than all these shite hybrid forms of the game now which are supposed to be exciting but they are as boring as feck!

 

[Di Maria's angel]

Bumrah might just be the greatest ever. Definitely the best ever Indian player.

I also think Rohit tries to chase this tomorrow.

 

[TheBest]

Greate game going on between Pakistan and Sa. WTC hopes might still be alive for india

 

[ha_rooney]

Terrific effort from Abbas, but some lovely shots from Rabada to take SA to the win & to the WTC final. For once, they didn’t choke!

Listen, I love watching Bumrah bowl, he’s a class act and currently the best fast bowler around. But he’s not the greatest ever. That accolade goes to Malcom Marshall, who swung it like Anderson except at 90mph plus.

What does it mean now that SA won?

 

[Rams]

300+ runs behind on a 5 day wicket with Lyon in the side? I’m putting my money on Australia.

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

South Africa have qualified for final. India, Australia and Sri Lanka (slim chance) fighting for second spot

Can India get there if we draw tomorrow?

This is pretty good. India most likely need to win this series to qualify

SA are in the final, I guess India need to win the next to or Australia are in?

Can get there with a 2-1 it looks like if Sri Lanka take points off Australia.

Australia need to win one or draw both, otherwise India are in the final, according to this, but I guess that’s not considering potential penalties for slow play.

To be sure India need to win this test and the next. Probably the most realistic scenario from what I’ve read.

Yeah that's what made yesterday's play more interesting. Of course Australia want to win the series but for WTC they don't want to risk a loss

kohli will be batting for his average and will get 18 off 100 balls. that’ll use up some of the day.

 

[Skills]

5 for Bumrah

 

[Utd heap]

Have India learnt nothing from Ben Ducket at all?!

 

[Bondi77]

Cummings is all class!

 

[AfonsoAlves]

Jaiswal has missed like 10 outside edges.

 

[AshRK]

Hopefully end of rohit sharma. Absolute waste man in test

 

[Bondi77]

Seeyah Kohli!

 

[jungledrums]

Great session. India could still dig deep and survive 55 odd overs

 

[AfonsoAlves]

Going to be hard. Only Jaiswal and Reddy can really do that. Can't imagine Jadeja or Pant digging in.

They're basically going to need a Faf Du Plessis special.

i wonder if this is how my posts read when india are playing at home and ripping through batting lineups

 

[Bondi77]

That was plumb LB

Haha, you don’t think it’s possible?

Nope

Agreed - can't believe you can be hit on the back leg playing back on a good length delivery and not be given.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

The Kohli dismissal was appalling.

He seems done to me. Keeps getting out in the exact same way over and over.

Wonder if he retires after the series?

I expect one retirement today

 

[jungledrums]

Nope

Very pessimistic. You won’t win but you can survive it. You bat very deep

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Rohit?

Yeah I think he'll be gone after today or maybe after the series. I could see Kohli clinging on for a while to be honest.
