Australia v India

@sparky said in Australia v India:
Lead over 300. The last time a bigger score was chased down in the 4th innings at the MCG was 1928.
The other thing is time taken out of the game.
Aus have basically batted an extra session reducing the likelihood of a result in either direction

@MN5 I'd like someone to continue something other than one catch
He’ll fluke a couple of wickets when India hit out and will get reselected for the next 10 matches having picked up “crucial wickets at crucial times”
At least our all rounder called Mitch came good just like I knew he would.

That last over from Bumrah was a deeply tired man trying to do his best for the team.
The treatment of their only strike weapon points out two things:
As I've been saying, Rohit Sharma is a rubbish captain. Every problem is a nail when Bumrah is the hammer.
Virat Kohli is worse. I've been watching some of the chat behind the stumps and Kohli is at the centre of it, with Pant as his sidekick. Kohli is basically giving orders but not taking any of the responsibility at this point.
Last series you could admire his fight, but this series he's just proved what an utter shitc**t he is.
The political knives are going to be out if India lose this Test.
Rohit should never have been brought back, especially after the series defeat at home against NZ. Shubman Gill could have retained his place and done as good a job - probably better.
Bumrah should have stayed as skipper and the other bowlers should have fucking stood up.

Australia seeking to ensure they don't lose more than they win by batting to stumps on day four.

Victory is the only option for Australia at this point - Sydney will be at least one day washed out and if we draw the series, India retain the trophy and I think we miss the WTC?

.India need to win at least one the remaininag tests to remain in contention. Australia's chances are a bit more tricky, they can still make the final if the draw one and lose one to India, but would then need to beat Sri Lanka twice in Sri Lanka.

I see he’s taken over 200 wickets and the average is still under 20. That is truly exceptional.
An even better start than Waqar Younis who took his first 200 at 20.61 in only 38 tests.
I wonder how his career will go in comparison as WY wasn’t as effective in his later years.
