I did not see that level of abject surrender coming. But then again the Black Caps showed the world the soft underbelly of this Indian team.

Without Bumrah they'd get smashed by Afghanistan.

Listening to ABC Radio earlier today - at the end of our innings they noted that Bumrah walked straight off the ground without huddling up with his team. I think he's had enough of stupid fluffybunnies like Pant and Rohit

Kohli shoulder barges an Aussie and doesn’t even get a mention from you.

Harsh

I left that piston wristed gibbon a scathing review already

@KiwiMurph said in Australia v India:

Do India have the guts to drop Sharma for Sydney needing a win?

How does it play politically?

He's just overseen a home series whitewash, then done nothing out here except "chuck it to Bumrah" in terms of captaincy.

Sydney result probably a draw thanks to weather. Bumrah cooked.

Fall on your sword

@KiwiMurph said in Australia v India:

Who gets man of the match if Aus wins? Cummins?

Gotta be Bumrah

It definitely ISN'T Marsh

@NTA said in Australia v India:

An hour to go would have left India a target well under 300 with a full day + 10 overs. Easy get

Easy get? They are 7-150....

In this part of the multiverse

@Chris-B said in Australia v India:

@NTA Lyon back on. Good move.

Also need to make sure Starc and Cummins have gas in the tank when they get the new ball.

Sundar can probably handle Lyon. Need to get him at the bowlers

Alex with the updated attendance figures. "Final Day 5 attendance is 74,362. The total attendance of 373,691."
Australia vs India, Australia vs India, 4th Test https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/australia-vs-india-2024-25-1426547/australia-vs-india-4th-test-1426558/live-cricket-score

Now here is a trap that we've fallen into before: Thinking we could just use our paceman to get tail enders out.

Needs to be managed carefully, although Cricinfo says the ball is starting to swing reverse

@KiwiMurph said in Australia v India:

That shows the limits of snicko

Snicko isn't perfect

But it is racist 😜

And I'm missing it....

Holy shit this game moves fast

@NTA said in Australia v India:

Mitch Marsh: specialist catcher.

What's the rules with 12th men fielders? Seriously he should be a fielding 12th man going forward

and put Marnus in the dugout...

I decided to go out for the afternoon because the game was dragging. On the metro and that happens...

Mitch Marsh: specialist catcher.

Good session from these two.

Draw coming

Having said that: Lyon is bowling very flat and just now floated a few up to leave Jaiswal with some air swings

@bayimports said in Australia v India:

Like yesterday the ball when new appears to be the most dangerous. Cummins is going to have to think about that, he might need something a bit different

I think he's doing what he can: bowl Lyon from one end, rotate pace at the other. Pitch isn't playing up as much as hoped,

Jaiswal in particular has been beaten many times, much like Marnus yesterday.

Lyon isn't able to pin down either batsman at the moment, which limits his effectiveness.

365k attendance now

@KiwiMurph said in Australia v India:

Jaiswal lucky. That looked out to the naked eye

Joel Wilson is the biggest lollygagger in world cricket. When he made decisions they were awful, and DRS means he doesn't have to any more. Might as well let me have the job
