Australia v India

[KiwiMurph]

Poor Matty Wade is in the firing line fielding so close there.

From his point of view he's probably just happy to be in the team given his batting efforts.

[NTA]

Fuck just surround the bat. Come on

[ACT Crusader]

Vihari with a Greatbatch-esque innings...

[KiwiMurph]

Would be a good time for Green to get his first test wicket.

[NTA]

Think we're stuffed

[ACT Crusader]

When India reached 300, their chances of winning doubled from 0.2% to 0.4% according to Live Win Probability

There. Hope that restores my standing.

That person of indeterminate sex should be utterly ashamed of holding up a shit sign like that.

[Rapido]

Cricinfo, getting gateway timeout. I assume it must be exciting?

Same here. Score please someone.....

[NTA]

India 5 down for 311.

12 overs to go minimum.

[NTA]

So India have put the cue back in the rack bar the odd cheeky shot. Vihari's hammy is fucked so he's not running

[KiwiMurph]

So is Paine doing what there were complaints about Pant doing? Talking whilst the bowler is coming in?

[NTA]

@KiwiMurph exactly. No need for that shit

[KiwiMurph]

Not a fond test for Paine.

[African Monkey]

Haha Paine. Less talking shit and more worrying about your own job you clown.

Terrible drop. The utter two from Lyon I could forgive, but not that rubbish

[KiwiMurph]

@NTA I wonder what the thinking is with Paine moving forward.

He's 36, doesn't have a test century and there are some worrying signs with his captaincy in this series.

[NTA]

@KiwiMurph it's a good point. There are others available I'm assuming, and while he's been good for the captaincy, age and performance are catching up with him.

[Cyclops]

This has been a crazy series. Had a bit of everything. Whatever happens from here the final test is going to be dynamite.

This would have been even tenser if we'd had another hour or so of Pant.

[African Monkey]

@KiwiMurph He does a fine job with the bat tbh. You don't really need to be scoring centuries at 7, but yes, the question is worth asking as to whether he stays as their captain and keeps his place in the side.
