Australia v India

[NTA]

@sparky said in Australia v India:

157/8. Australia 262 ahead. All three results on.

Four

[NTA]

Siraj keeps jagging back deliveries just short of a length outside a 6th stump line.

Cummins and Boland need to find that spot

[NTA]

Fuck I'll take that Goat

Sharma is a rubbish captain. Your second pace bowler is on fire, bowling at 10, and you're leaving gaps in the slip cordon

[NTA]

Fuck that was soft, skip

[sparky]

173-9. Australia 278 ahead. Bolland facing.

[sparky]

Another dropped one.

[sparky]

Sloppy from India more handy runs for Australia.

[antipodean]

Indian incompetence in the field is going to deny them a good result here.

[sparky]

I think the lead is already enough for Australia, but stranger things have happened than India winning this one.

100 runs per session is what I'm aiming at.

So I need 300 minimum.

With the Sydney weather forecast, Australia have to win here.

And another one

[KiwiMurph]

India's fielding has really let them down today

[NTA]

@KiwiMurph besides the runout from Pant, it has been piss

[sparky]

There's only been three successful 4th innings Test chases at the MCG above 290 and only one above 300.

What is the highest successful run chase in Test matches in Melbourne? Top 10 most runs chased down in win at MCG listed

Australia hosts India in the Boxing Day Test at the MCG in the fourth match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 with the series equalled at 1-1.

[sparky]

Lyon up to 13 with a few leg byes. This is almost certainly too many for India now.

[MN5]

@NTA said in Australia v India:

Drop Marsh.

Never had to play that shot

Go back to Big Bash

Not like you to have a go at him

He came into this match with some pretty ordinary numbers which barring a huge haul when India bat will only get worse.

The charmed selection must end soon surely.

[NTA]

@MN5 I'd like someone to continue something other than one catch

[NTA]

Boland making a mockery of the top order's handling of Bumrah with his front foot defence

[sparky]

Lead over 300. The last time a bigger score was chased down in the 4th innings at the MCG was 1928.

[NTA]

Haaaaa! SCOTTY FKN BOLAND
