feel like an 90's englishman celebrating a washout

 

[PoopingHindi]

Pete Handscomb is a beautiful human and a decent batsman.

any chance we can make him captain?

 

[Forward Press]

espncricinfo - first time a visiting team had batted out a draw after conceding a lead in the first innings since 2010-11.

 

[lionbear]

I hope Hanscomb knows that 72 is equal to about 90% of the 150's made in Test cricket.

 

[Speck]

Fair to say that was superb. Real character building stuff.

Pinch the next test and this series will be one for the ages.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

So far we've had two dodgy tracks, one being nigh on unplayable and then a road and we're not behind in the series.
Didn't think we had this in us and am rather proud of the boys application so far this series.

Well batted to Marsh and Handscomb today. These runs are more valuable than any ton they've made in test cricket.
Can honestly say that only Warner and MMarsh haven't really made a meaningful contribution so far this series.

Wonder what Harbhajan thinks now...

 

[Oaktree]

Brilliant batting by Australia to save the game and despite a look on the scorecards suggesting a batathon, a lot of character shown by both teams in this match.

 

[Wolfs]

This is literally when you try to outright the other team and in their 2nd dig they are 1/40 off 30 and your campaigner captain won't give up.

lol we had that against us. Funniest to see how pissed off the team is at their captain.

 

[Sir Digby]

Amazing effort to bat out the day. Massive props to Handscomb

EDIT: and Smarsh of course

 

[smasha]

A real team effort,everyone chipping in in every test.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Did Kholi grab a stump this time too?

 

[dumb]

india may have run out of time, but at least jadeja got his 50

 

[scoman]

We are good at cricket

 

[Bojan KantKick]

 

[Bedi]

Kohli is such a prick.

he is, which is why he's good for the game.

 

[footyfan1978]

Very well done lads.

Well Mitch's 31 was pretty important in the 1st test.

Harbhajan probably thinking "I can still ride on 2001."

Not really. Series still live heading into the last test.

All the pressure on India.

 

[Demosthenes]

Which is kind of bizarre. If we'd been thrashing them and let it get to a draw then I could maybe understand it as a way of 'sticking it' to Australia, but this was really India's match.

Can only assume he was trying to let Jadeja get his five-for - would have been a good lift to finish on after a disappointing draw.

 

[newblueo]

did the guy on the tally burp? haha great game test cricket is the best still

 

[Rich]

Bloody great job.

 

[smasha]

No Jadeja,no India,sorry Kohli,you're s**t.

 

[Andronicus]

Sucked a seriously big load of s**t India.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Great result. Must have been a while since we successfully batted out a final day to save a test.

 

[Tiff]

We will take a truckload out of today. Belief in themselves in the situation being the biggest.

We'll win the next test.
