Australia v India

Paine must be expecting rain.

They're going quite a bit harder than necessary if there's still 4.5 sessions to play.

Bit of a cell heading that way now.

And there's quite a band further west.

Cell looks to be headed straight over the area?

Yeah, where did that come from? Wasn't aware anything was likely, then Mrs Boo says oh there's a cyclone up north.

Heading further and further south. Latest Track Map shows it u-turning back your way as a low.

Play about to be yanked here. Not for long maybe

@booboo missed your post as it was the bottom of the page.

I don't think that band out west will come close enough

Pitch does look like it's got a bit of life in it now.

KiwiMurph

hit-out seems to be the game plan now.

Holy shit that jagged off a crack big time

Chris B.

I wonder how many Paine wants?

Aust. currently has a lead of 292 and they've been going at 3.7 in this innings.

If India were to go at that rate and not lose wickets they'd run that down in 79 overs - with a good part of a session to spare if it doesn't rain.

Chris B.

The way they're playing, you'd guess 320 was his target, unless it's just have a go lads and see how many we can get in a hurry.

Nine down now.

NTA

@Chris-B might be about to rain again so swing hard and declare in an over

KiwiMurph

huge difference in batting ability between India no. 11 and Hazelwood.

Donsteppa

Very un-Australian if the musings of aggressive declarations earlier today by the Fox commentators of leads less than 300 are anything to go by...

KiwiMurph

I think Australia have effectively taken one result out of the equation - they have about 100 more runs than the highest successful chase at the GABBA.

pfffft, even Chris Martin had a batting average of 12 at one stage......a barnstorming knock of 7 on debut ( this included a four ).....then a watchful 0 not out then a swashbuckling 5 not out ( complete with another four ).....after that it was nine innings in a row of no runs but admittedly a few of these were unbeaten.
