Paine has a brain fart. Three wickets in hand. 60 overs to go.

This is starting to swing the way of Oz.

@antipodean nah. Cummins and Starc aren't exactly Mr Hang Around.
Maybe Lyon and Hoff can save it

I can't help but be a little excited and feel there is a bit of hope here!
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi! That's what you blokes sing, isn't it?

Starc catches an edge and he was looking like he could have won this for Oz.
-
Cummins can't hang around while Lyons is scoring like it's a T20.
Oz have one wicket to score another 64 runs.

@antipodean Not gunna happen

bottom 5 score 148, top 6 score 143. hang your heads you useless fucks.
Black Caps supporters are well used to a team that requires the bowlers to take the wickets and score the runs

Yep when Vettori and Mccullum needed big partnerships after Jamie How and Peter Fulton had fucked up yet again.

Well done to India. Put the pressure on the top order and OZ were really chasing their tail thereafter. Oz lower order with a bit of fight, but it did look inevitable that they would fall short.
I’ve already seen some chatter about “if they had Smith and Warner” and yes they would’ve made a difference. But according to pre-game commentary India was without fast bowlers...
-
@act-crusader additionally: IF Finch and Marsh hadn't so spectacularly fucked up in the first dig, we MAY have scored more and had a lead BUT the Indian middle order would have been more circumspect, methinks
-
@nta Yeah - Ashwin in particular played an immensely stupid shot - a six or out slog - when he could have just pushed a single at a point where every run was making things exponentially harder for Oz.
Ashwin got outplayed by Lyon, which would have been a root cause of India's loss if they'd lost - main factor in this being a reasonably close game.
In reality - if I was picking a combined team from the two squads, I'd be tossing up between Ashwin and Lyon, but other than that I'd be picking Starc and Hazlewood from Oz and probably Khawaja instead of Rohit Sharma.

Also: Nigel Long is having a 'mare.

Nigel "that could have been anything" Llong is akin to Jerome "we have a deal" Garces.
Probably best not to mention him, I have a Llong memory (although if he has welsh heritage his name could be pronounced something like Thong or Schlong which amuses me).
