Brilliant hundred from Jaiswal. Ramped a 6 to go to 101! Ballsy!
Happy he didn't do that to us
it's because we're better than Australia
<glances around nervously>
In India we would have won this test by now.

Do they bat Jaiswal at 3 going forward?
He's too good to open
Not sure I agree with that, you’re making openers sound like dogsbodies when some of the greatest batsmen of all time went in first.
Toughest batting position in cricket, as a general rule of thumb depending on eras you can add an about 5-7 to an openers career average to get his true worth to the team.

Who then had better batsmen behind them at first drop

Not always. Hobbs and Sutcliffe were a class apart from those who followed.
Sunil Gavaskar was far and away the best batsman of his generation.
Graham Gooch was usually better than those who followed.
Okay, Hayden and Langer arguably had even better guys below them.
Same with Greenidge and Haynes.
We’ll call this a draw

Fucken whatever caaaant. As @Virgil said NZ would have won this test by now

I’m loving that teams really like to get a wriggle on at test cricket these days.
Despite Loose Bus changes old school glacial like batting performance India have a 380 run lead on day three with a good chance for an early morning declaration. Still so much time for either team to win although we’re looking more butter chicken than shrimp on the barbie at the moment.
Test cricket rocks.

Your reminder of the highest ever successful Test 4th innings chases. Australia are probably going to need to break the record to win this one:
Highest successful run chases in test cricket 2025| Statista
The highest successful fourth innings run chase in test history was achieved by the West Indies. This record was set in 2003 against Australia.

Virgil has a blow up Kane Williamson doll he got off you. Surprised you didn't put it on the spit tbh.
I needed something to replace the Richie McCaw one
A doll can only take so much pounding from offside aye bro

When chasing a large total you often reflect on what could have been. 49 extras so far this innings

A lot of byes

Kohli gets his first test hundred in fuck knows how long and frustratingly edges a wee bit more in front of KW…..
New Aussie opener shits the bed, loads of pressure on everyone else now.
Ridiculous 4th innings chase for Oz. My 5-0 prediction looking utterly tenuous at best
-
They love a hard deck these Indians.
India get Oz 3–12 to close out the day. Survival mode will be the order of the day tomorrow.
