Australia v India

[KiwiMurph]

Wade throws away his wicket again.

With Head cut Wade must be next in the firing line.

Why was he trying to play that ball so square.

[voodoo]

Is it just that I haven't watched him much lately, or has Smith gotten magnitudes worse with his idiosyncrasies? The chat, the pointing, the jumping around, the reactions after every ball, its pretty wild.

[KiwiMurph]

@voodoo Labuschagne has done the same.

Nah he has been doing that for quite some time. The more he gets in form the more he does it, I reckon.

I LOVE watching him bat.

[voodoo]

@Hooroo you don't think its worse now? He looks like he's got voices in his head!

[NTA]

And Green goes. Should never have been out there but Wade is a dumb shit.

Worse that earlier in his career for sure but not worse than 2018/2019 Super Star Smith. (Or when ever he returned.)

So 267/6 after 90 overs. If it was the end of day one right now you'd have to say India with their nose in front, but Smith could yet drag Australia back in front.

Draw was looking the favourite when Smith and Labuschagne were cruising but a result more likely now.

[Duluth]

Cummins gone now

Everyone apart from Smith has struggled in the last couple of hours. One positive for Aus is that the 4th innings should be hard work. The first ball I saw keeping low was when Labuschagne was still in

[Duluth]

Green, Paine & Cummins scored a combined 1 run off 44 balls

Poor captaincy from Rahane today. He left bowling Jadaja until far too late, while leaving Ashwin on half the day to bowl a ton of innocuous deliveries, which when they did turn, were generally too straight.

Could be a touch of brilliance that they held Jadaja back for day 2 😀

Or Australia might have been all out by now

Nah it was destiny that Smith score a ton today...

[ACT Crusader]

What a throw

[KiwiMurph]

What a cricketer Jadeja is.

[Cyclops]

I wonder what the lowest total to include 2 century partnerships is

Warnie loves a good whine...

I honestly can't listen to him any more. He drives me up the wall. One of those blokes with great specialised knowledge, but thinks because fo the halo effect he knows everything.

Also a jingoistic muppet. One of the greatest bowlers of all time, but still a muppet.

He’s an idiot.

Sharma didn't get anywhere near that. Good review.
