It'll be a draw based on the forecast.

If they get lucky, they might only lose an hour or two today and dodge the showers tomorrow.
It will be interesting to see how hard they push for the win. Do they give India a chaseable target and risk losing the series? It may depend on how the pitch plays today. If it's a flat track then they might not be as bold.

Paine drops another one
Yeeesh, the easiest of his drops too!
India are going at a very old fashioned run rate too. What exactly is their game plan here ?
Don't lose
I love the fern for it's world class insight. Keep up the good work

Stage is set for a quick ton from Warner methinks.
Or a good slips catch to dismiss him.
Washington has a good leg break that both lefties will need to watch out for.
I hope I’m right. He’s fun to watch. Given I highly doubt we’re gonna see a result we can at least see some entertainment hopefully

This is setting the game up for us here. Another good hour and we can start to think about what sort of target we want to set.
Possibly but you'd think they need to get the run rate up a bit ? currently under 4......

@Siam said in Australia v India:
@barbarian 300 minimum you think?
Have to balance the runs against the clock. If this wicket suddenly turned into a minefield we need enough sessions to bowl them out.
Which on the evidence, is something more than 4 🤔
-
You have to be careful though, you don't want to go too hard too early, and suddenly we're 4/120.
It depends a bit on the pitch and the forecast, but I'd think they would look to set a target of 300, and ideally get 20 overs at them before stumps tonight.
-
@barbarian the delicate balance is, the same 4 bowlers needing to come out again after only a little rest, after a short turnaround, having played every test in the series.
-
Excellent ball to get Harris. Tricky length and Harris gets caught with his hands up on the bounce.

Cummins in particular looked tired during that first innings.

just checked, he's bowled 138 overs of flat out pace this series. the other two have bowled 122. Lyon has 156.
imagine the state if India hadn't completely capitulated one innings

Here comes India...
