Only just got home and saw the last 3 overs. The pitch looks like a jigsaw puzzle. How did it play? Did Gaz bowl well or was there plenty of crap shots?

Bowled very well. Probably the best I've seen him bowl for a sustained period.

8 wickets in an innings superb by Lyon.

His top spinning style proved very effective on this pitch, as the additional bounce created havoc. The pitch played its part as balls which hit the cracks tended to scoot through low or turn sharper, virtually spitting off the pitch. Lyon landed them well today so kudos to the bloke.

Yeah it's the best that Lyons has bowled on the Sub Continence. :stern look

He almost always bowls well, people who think otherwise have no fricken idea

Like you said mate, if Lyon was born in the sub-continent, it'd be "Murali-who?"

Bit like LT you reckon?

Anywho Lyon in the past has bowled to straight and been easily worked off the hips for runs.

Had to larf when Kohli didn't offer a shot and was given out LBW, wandering down the pitch towards the non striker," what you think, worth appealing the decision"?

(non striker) "Oh...... well yeah cause i couldn't quite work out which stumps it was going to hit".

The Marsh brothers batting together, this will be fun.

**** off Mitch Marsh seriously

Would wanna' take 3 / 12 in their 2nd innings.

 

[Hojuman]

Lead of anywhere between 61 -111 will do.
All out for 300 would be perfect. Swashbuckling 30 or 40 from each of Wade / Starc nice.

Shane Watson is India's DRS coach.

 

[the big lebowski]

If we can bat till tea or near there tomorrow then test and series is as good as over.

That would be amazing but can't see us lasting much beyond lunch tomorrow, still may be enough.

Starc goes nuts again and we may not need to last for both sessions.

Hey T20 generation, that was cricket yesterday. 197 runs for the day & I couldn't tear myself away from it. A true test of skill between bat & ball. Our blokes are showing a mile more skill & temperament than I thought they were capable of a week & a half go. And Matthew Renshaw might be my new cricket hero.
