Test half century for Burns. Just got the fielder to parry it over for him.
Should have won by 10 wickets
Coulda, shoulda, woulda...

32 for 9, number 11 has backed a metre outside leg stump, bowler has followed him and it is aimed at his throat. I'd call that a bit shit,
Throat?
Here's the replay link - go around 3:55 to see the delivery.Barely armpit height as he's falling over, taking his eyes off the ball.
Shami has a Test half century and an average in double figures (just), which is alright for a number 11. So "harden the fuck up" is my advice. Wear another arm guard if that helps.
@Rapido said in Australia v India:
If I had some sort of imaginary line of acceptable behaviour that I expect other teams to follow, but without ever communicating or agreeing this, I'd say he crossed the line.
I understand when the first instinct on here is to have a crack at Aussies for being big bullies, picking on poor widdle tail enders from other nations.
When Neil Wagner fires in 193 short deliveries in Perth (a record since records began in around 2006), to all parts of the batting list, the lot of you are in a race to de-glove yourselves on the thrashwank.
The problem you've got in making your comments, is you're looking at the outcome - if Shami had avoided retiring hurt and been bowled next ball, that delivery wouldn't even register.
That wasn't a particularly dangerous delivery at Test level, even for a #11 but he fucked up because the whole dressing room had shit its pants by then.

Is it wrong to enjoy that short sentence as much as I do?
@NTA can you keep us updated with any amusing cases of Indian fans losing their shit on the Wisden page ?
From the tweet where I got that article above:
Ahh, that explains it - they're just friendlies.

That actually could have much broader scope than just here...

In any case, what does this mean for Boxing Day?
Well it'll be back to red ball, which is probably a bit of comfort for India if they want to write off the loss to the unusual circumstances of day/night cricket. Which, to a degree, they can.
Batting just seemed difficult overall. India probably had one decent session with the willow that wasn't completely dominated by bowlers. Other than that? 2.5 days speaks for itself.
India will be missing Kohli and have to discard a couple of other underperformers. That will make it tough for Rahane to lead but they have depth - better commentators than I say their selections weren't quite right this time around. We'll see.
Australia have Warner to come back. The question is: where? If he takes an opener's slot, I suppose it is likely Wade misses out. The other option is to squeeze out new kid but I think that would be a waste - another guy who can hold a bat AND bowl 140km/h at the top of off should be tried again, if for no other reason than to see how he pulls up.

Wade will be the unlucky one. Green won’t be left out of this side any time soon. There’s an outside chance Head misses out and Wade returns to the middle order. Not likely though.
Is Pucovski available? I would select him ahead of Burns but I doubt Langer would.

It's true.
In a year of fuck all sport, they decide to turn the second innings' into a T20 match - and a pretty poor one at that!

Some nice sound logical criticism there. I wonder if he’d be interested in joining the fern ?

Last I heard, with the extraordinary number of concussions he's had (not all related to cricket), I'd say unlikely.
After all, when India A are doing this to #11 batsmen, who would risk it for an opener? Right @Kruse ?
A third Australian cricketer in four days has suffered a concussion, with the most recent incident resulting in New South Wales quick Harry Conway being ruled out of the remainder of the match between Australia A and an Indian XI. The 28-year-old last night walked out to bat at number 11 late on day two in the SCG fixture and copped a barrage of bouncers from Indian fast bowler Navdeep Saini, with one delivery thudding into his helmet as Australia A scrambled to 108. And while Conway continued batting until he was run out for seven, he later began to experience symptoms of delayed concussion and was replaced by Queensland fast bowler Mark Steketee. Former Australian Test cricketer Brendon Julian was left mystified by Saini's onslaught against Conway. "From India's point of view, I don't really see any reason why you've got to keep doing (the short balls)," Julian said on Fox Sports' coverage. "I reckon they've overdone it with the short balls... There's no upside to this. "It's all about just getting hit at the moment, and that's why you just declare, bring them in and say, 'All right, let's have a crack at them'." -

So now my hopes of Australian cricket team schadenfreude is over (a large degree of my angst for this 2 dayer was the high of watching the champion, and self effacing, Aussies on the ropes - hopefully like when Aussies watched the ABs vs England last year). That same warm glow.
So, now I've switched allegiances, what are the permutations for a trans Ta$man showdown in covidville?
Clean sweep?
Some runs or wickets calculation?
Do our results vs pakis count?
Anyone got the scenario that we can cling to?
India has a possible 210 points from 7 games left to gain. They need 150 to make the final. 30 for a win and 10 for a draw.
If Australia win 2-0 and we beat Pakistan 2-0 then it will be an NZ vs Australia final.
-
120 points per test series.
Divided by how many tests.
So NZ v Pak is 2 test series meaning each win is worth 60 points each. 20 for a draw.
India v Aus and India v England are 4 tests series, each win worth 30 each. 10 for a draw.
India on 360.
NZ on 300.https://www.icc-cricket.com/world-test-championship/standings
