This defensive self preservation shit is what cooked our day

 

[DuckYeah]

bunch of ****in spuds

 

[Samsquanch]

Marsh playing for his test career here

It's over.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Bahahahaha absolutely cooked. Did not even need to try to block that ffs was going no where near the stumps

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Been saying it for a year or so, but the Head-Marsh 1-2 combo needs to go. They too often fail together. Even switching Carey & Marsh in the order would be worth a shot.

Marnus scoring a single off every 1st ball of the over isn't helping.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Doubt it will happen, but Webster needs to come in for Marsh next test.

Marsh is the luckiest Aussie cricketer in history. Take out his highest score and he avg 26. Drop him, he is not up to it, especially against quality opponents

 

[kangatragic]

Mitch Marsh has a test batting average of 28 and average of 40. Just not good enough. I think they need to replace him with a genuine batsman for Sydney

 

[hellas_johnny]

Ffs Carey did you not learn from khawaja play a straight bat not across the line. We're cooked here

 

[Sillygit]

Fair play to marnus, getting much more done than almost everyone else.

But we'd lose his bowling...





...good call.

Should of happened before the first test - especially if he isn’t bowling

 

[kangatragic]

We are seeing absolute greatness with Jasprit Bumrah. Perhaps the greatest fast bowler ever

 

[travelli]

Quality game. Still think we'll win it fine. 250 odd on this wearing pitch will be hard to get

 

[Dan]

We had a decent day 1 and we’ve thrown it away.

We don’t deserve to win when we dish out dogshit like this with the bat.

 

[shinboner magic]

Enough of keeping underperforming players in the side.

 

[DuckYeah]

Quality game. Still think we'll win it fine. 250 odd on this wearing pitch will be hard to get

India were paying $8 at the start of the day. $1.70 for the W now.

Aus at $2.80 not too bad if you’re confident

$8.75 for the draw

 

[Fish Sticks]

Quality game. Still think we'll win it fine. 250 odd on this wearing pitch will be hard to get

I reckon we will need 250 at least, which we will struggle to get

 

[kangatragic]

Definitely this pitch has changed today. There is seam and bounce that wasn't there yesterday

 

[travelli]

Also loving the beards on these Indian guys. Super tidy. They must travel with a barber

 

[DuckYeah]

Thats not enough.

I'm unsure it's wearing all that much. It's a little more 2 paced today, but it's not doing crazy things. Tomorrow might be different, but will the Aussies take it close enough to that?

Remember that Aus was 2-80 and Smith pretty much was trying to get himself out to up the run rate.

Also need to consider that Starc is clearly carrying an injury to some degree.

 

[Fish Sticks]

Thats not enough.

Probably not. It is still a good batting wicket. Bumrah is just taking the piss

 

[Roosurgence]

Big innings needed by Cummins.

His abysmal Capataincy along with Ronald McDonald has placed Australia in this position.

Being there on Day 3 and a park cricket team would have played the game with more brains.

Shit fields allowing easy scoring and batters to get set along with shit bowling changes. No pressure was placed on Reddy or Washington.

Bowling Lyon who was just bowling quick darts was stupidity. Needed to be told to give the ball some air. As for the fast bowlers constant back of a length bowling on that pitch was epic stupidness.
