India tour of Australia (Nov 22, 2024 - Jan 03, 2025)

[mikesiva]

Australia 337 all out

Head 140
Labuschagne 64

Bumrah 4-61
Siraj 4-98

[meninblue]

Siraj gets Alex caught behind for 15. Aus 282/6. Lead of 102. Maybe now the lead could be restricted to 160.

152 now. Australia seem to be crossing 160

157 runs lead. 3 runs less. Small happiness

Excellent display of test match batting. After Usman flopped with the bat, Nathan and Marnus survived the tough phase and ensured the new ball was duly seen off till 36.1 overs. Travis came when Jasprit had almost finished his 3rd spell, other bowlers were not as fresh for obvious reasons and he attacked Harshit and Siraj and ended up scoring 140. The good work of Nathan and Nathan was well supported by Travis. These three batters have put Australia into a formidable match winning situation. Good to see a team survive for 87.3 overs when many test innings are ending between 34 to 60 overs nowadays.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Not a bad effort by the Indian bowlers. But their batters owe them a favour.

[Durhamfootman]

oh blimey, there's still 30 overs left in the day. India will have to dig in

[mikesiva]

Maybe Jaiswal will learn not to sledge the big fast bowlers next time.

I'd imagine starc got an immense amount of satisfaction getting him first ball.

Jaiswal has been fairly quiet this Test.

A learning curve for the young man.

[meninblue]

Ind 42/2 in 8.1 overs.

[mikesiva]

Are the illustrious careers of Rohit and Khawaja finally coming to an end? Has Father Time finally caught up with these two outstanding batsmen?

[meninblue]

India 128/5. Trailing by 29 runs.

[Durhamfootman]

ouch!

not a good looking scoreline

[GarlicJam]

Perspective is an amazing thing, Mr Footman.

[Durhamfootman]

yes, indeed. I was looking at this from an Adi standpoint

I'll re-phrase

way hay!

what a great looking scoreline

[backfootpunch]

Maybe Jaiswal will learn not to sledge the big fast bowlers next time.

I'd imagine starc got an immense amount of satisfaction getting him first ball.

Jaiswal has been fairly quiet this Test.

A learning curve for the young man.

He's had 8 goes on the bouncier Australian and South African wickets now and failed 7 times with a big hundred in the other. Perhaps a vulnerability there.

Indian batting line up really seems to revolve around him. If he doesn't score 50+ they struggle.

He's almost too good to be getting fed to the new ball really.

[backfootpunch]

2 days in at my count 155.4 overs of the 180 have been bowled

Will the ICC hand out any penalties i don't really know how it works?

They don't seem to care if England aren't playing

[bigfluffylemon]

Pathetic.

Australia do love them a pink ball. Should wrap this up within 3 days.

[backfootpunch]

OK so i just read up a little. Slow over rate penalties only come in if a team bats for more than 80 overs.

So surely India will be docked points for the 2nd innings of this match. If they aren't then it truly is rigged to not give India penalties as the over rate has been funereal.

Both games 2 days in, 10 more overs bowled in the england/new Zealand game. Same amount of wickets taken.
