Australia v India

[antipodean]

Aussies playing for a draw when you look at the weather forecast.

Unless India crumble with the bat.

[NTA]

Cummins taking to a few people in the shed. Rain is back so might be time to declare

[KiwiMurph]

Wonder if Sharma understands the value of field placings

Starc gets Jaiswal 2nd ball with a not standard catcher forward of square leg

Jaiswal now 6-92 against left arm pace

[NTA]

FMD what a catch

Starc is India's Daddy

[KiwiMurph]

What made that catch was the early recognition and movement. Got into position so early to be able to get 2 hands to it

yep watching the batsmens feet movement and ball off the bat early gives you early recognition where the you need to be to meet the ball.

Kohli gone chasing a fairly full delivery from Hoff that he really didn't have to.

[antipodean]

India doing their level best to make this a contest despite the fact we'll probably only get another four sessions.

Superb tourists.

[NTA]

Disappointing that the wicket-rain-wicket-rain cycle has been broken.

[NTA]

Radar looks shit - blowing in from the SE tending East and a big bunch of shit coming in off the coast

The Gabba test was usually the first of the season, in November.

Cricket Australia took cash to move it, and now we're basically in monsoon season. Well done.

Sydney isn't much better of late, having a shit record in early January

In terms of standards compared to their Fab Four Beatles counterparts Kohli is DEFINITELY Ringo.

Ugly, but still alive?

[nzzp]

Cummins is some bowler.
India in real trouble again.

[NTA]

Inexplicable drop by Smith let KL Rahul off tho. Might pay for that as he can hang around

[NTA]

Gets him eventually. With an amazing catch of course from Smith

[nzzp]

Australia are quite good at cricketing

[1kiwi]

They're literally playing in front of nobody. Where is the crowd? Past test series when India are playing on Aussie shores the stadium is bursting at the seams.

6000 in apparently. Most of them Indian.

Brisbane sucks.

[NTA]

Welp, short of a miracle, that's the game

I blame Smith's drop on ball 1 today, and some confounding fielding placements in the last hour
