Australia v India

[Chris B.]

Is Starc 100% fit?

If Oz only has three frontline bowlers, then I can see the point in batting on because Mitch Marsh, Head and Co having to bowl 20 overs would be worrying. Otherwise, this seems a bit cautious - even though India could still score the runs! Doesn't seem to be too many terrors in the pitch!

I bet Steve Smith is pissed off with his middle order - he got out trying to force the pace and they folded behind him!

Irrelevant now. Fake war is over. Time to get stuck in

[Chris B.]

Jaiswal owes his team 100. Rohit about the same.

Wouldn't be very optimistic about Rohit making good on his debt!

He looks alright to me!

Another 5 fer for Bumrah.

Richly deserved.

Let’s see if India have a real go at this total

[NTA]

Marnus is such a fuckwit

Wickets in hand will be the key.

They'll just bat normally for two sessions and try to T20 it at the end if they've got wickets in hand.

Absolutely.

The way the game is played these days time won’t be a factor.

Good old fashioned things like wickets in hand will be though !

Is that 10-fer for Bumrah? Would be his first ever.

Na just the nine…..

Surprising how many top bowlers never manage a 10fer in their careers

[NTA]

A few beating the bat this morning

[NTA]

Starc rotated out after 5 overs.

That isn't a fully fit bowler

[NTA]

Fuck me get Marnus out to the boundary

Even I'm sick of hearing him

[NTA]

Boland very unlucky there.

[NTA]

Wow. This is India's second best opening stand in the series. At 20 runs...

[NTA]

Justin Langer was on Channel 7 this morning arguing for the continued inclusion of Mitch Marsh. Mate, give it a rest ..

[Chris B.]

@NTA Mitch averaging 19 with the bat and 42 with the ball this year. That's pretty weak for an Australian.

Wouldn't be playing if Green was available. Should be someone younger who won't be any worse.

[NTA]

Cummins strikes.
Rohit sucks.

[KiwiMurph]

Had to chuckle at the commentators trying to convince themselves Rohit Sharma looked better

Nek minnit... out

[NTA]

BTW @MN5 Harsha Bogle on ABC Radio this morning, discussing Marnus' appeals.

"I think he's only second to Mohammed Siraj with DRS. Siraj would appeal for DRS bowling in the nets to nobody"
