Rachin is in great touch so let’s hope he stays around for most of the day, if not through until tomorrow.

Jeez Mitchell, chill out son.

Smithy made the comment that Mitch Jr is even more excitable than normal right now

[MN5]

Gee that Ravindra goes ok. Seems to respond well to Indian conditions

Good to see Conway back in decent form too, wish he’d have gone on !!

[Canes4life]

Damn Ravindra gone. Beautiful ball though.

[Damo]

I think we are behind in the game now. Need someone to go and make a big score. If we get 350 odd all out we could easily be facing a 200 run deficit on a tricky pitch late on day 3.

[canefan]

We need a minimum of 150 from these two and Philips

[MN5]

Fuck.

Conway or Ravindra getting about double what they did woulda been handy

[KiwiMurph]

That's an ugly dismissal from Blundell.

Not exactly playing in the V

[canefan]

Cue the collapse

[MN5]

Knife edge……big partnership here and we’re good.

One more wicket and we’re fucked

This test match is being lost today.
Some poor batting playing across the line playing down the wrong line.
Waving outside the off stump.
We are throwing away the bat first advantage on this pitch.

The joys of fielding a Test number 6 with a batting average of 35.

Not a test 6 or even a 7 or 8.

[canefan]

We are on the cliff edge, with Mitch and Glen to save us

[Donsteppa]

Santner doing his best to hit the bowlers out of the attack.

That’s pretty standard for loads of sides though ?

That’s very often where the keeper/all rounder bats.

They can’t all be Border, S Waugh, Hussey etc

[No Quarter]

We've somewhat squandered a good start that could have seen us almost bat them out of the game. I still think if we can get past 300 then we are right in it, a couple of early Indian wickets chasing more than that will have them under a lot of pressure.

[Chris]

This is a terrible batting performance by Phillips he is reading nothing and all at sea.
Going back to Washington will get him bowled or LBW

[Chris]

Santner down the other end doing a really good job.

India will score 400 plus on this wkt no problem.
