Australia v India
-
It's complicated but Australia lose they will go below 70% so NZ would at least be in front of them. However they potentially have a 3 test tour to SA which is not confirmed or cancelled at this stage. If they lose this test I imagine that the chance of the SA series being cancelled will decrease quite a lot.
If Australia lose this test and do go to SA we will need SA to either win 1 test or draw 2.
India is a bit more simple as their series against England is definitely scheduled to go ahead. They need another 110 points from their next games so either 3 wins/2 draws or 4 wins will see them above NZ.
I think our best chance is an Indian win in this game.

Aus in a very NZ-like position of relying on the same two guys again
I hear ya. Thank goodness Henry Nicholls has stepped up as Rossco has been really unRossco like of late.

@barbarian what is a decent first innings score looking like? 200 minimum and 250+ excellent?
-
@Paekakboyz Looks like a pretty good deck for batting, I'd have 320 as par in the first innings.

typical Brisbane. Get through the first little bit and then it's a road for a few days. Always bat first at teh gabba
at least this year we weren't subjected to the weeks-long campaign to try and convince the visitors this year is different, it's a bit spicy, and you should definitely bowl first.

Marnus can bat, but Jesus he has Lady Luck riding on his shoulder, as well.
Comms just saying that's the fifth time he's been dropped in this series and, as I recall, we gave him quite a bunch of lives as well!

just fucking bat normally

The Henry Nicholls of Australia. They should really recalculate his average based on every chance being taken, and then drop him.

This might explain why he takes so long to leave the field when he is out - takes him a while to believe that he actually has been caught!
