Australia v India

KiwiMurph

there is some serious Lou Vincent style diving in the field going on out there.

Hooroo

No luck for Lyon there - good over from him.

Quality slow mo of the decision and the aussies hands on their heads

Pujara was down the track, hit outside the line, the turn was pretty sharp. Would have been a big call for the ump to give it out, and I'm comfortable with that decision staying as it was.

My only grrr around DRS is ones like that. That is out. When it is got that much on the bail, it's out!

Yep, that looked pretty solid. I guess it allows for any margin of error in ball tracking from that far out though.

Either way, perhaps Gill will use his bat from now on.

And that's it, isn't it? If that's 10cm from the stumps it's out out out. If it's as far down the track as that was, there's margin of error that amplifies the further the ball has to go.

I'd be happy to write 'benefit of the doubt goes to the batsman' into the rules, and tweak the DRS. It's there to avoid howlers; that wasn't a howler, it was a tactical review

KiwiMurph

there's also an argument to be made that he was playing a shot.

That is in the rules already, but the benefit doesn't go to the batsman, it goes to the umpire. Which I think is the right way to do it.

Warne very critical of the field.

It's getting tedious! We get it, Warne, it's not what you want.

@Hooroo that's Warne on commentary for you.

That hat is for tools too! Craig McMillan, I'm looking at you too.

mariner4life

Warne does know his shit, but he's just critical all the fucking time.

We get it Shane, you think you should have captained Australia...

How good!!

If I were Lyon, I'd have a bat pad on the off side to Pujara.

Very surprised he hasn't!

Might have stopped that four with his throat....

Pujara 6 runs off 52 balls! Dravid like numbers.

I would be happy for this to be a draw. Puts more pressure on both teams to win future games for Test Champ points. Oz are already in need of a decent win % from here to close out their spot so a draw would be good for NZs chances (if I have got that right)

If Dravid is The Wall, this guy would keep the Mongols out 400 years ago
