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

    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.

    India's fielding has really let them down today

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

    Dec 28, 2024

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

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

    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.

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

    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

    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.

    Two hundred up

    Partnership is 27

    Bumrah looked cooked fielding that sweep shot.

    He's done abut 50 overs this game?
