Australia v India

[nzzp]

@ACT-Crusader ... and the rain's on.

If it's short, suits India - a wet ball won't do much

[KiwiMurph]

@nzzp it doesn't look short. That's the end of the day's play I'd say.

Looks dark out there along with the rain.

[KiwiPie]

This is perfectly set up unless rain ruins it. A very tough but not impossible chase with plenty of overs. It has been a great series and given the injury problems of India, they have done very well to still be in with a chance of taking the series.

[Donsteppa]

Pity about the rain delay. Warnie would have declared after lunch and had India chase 150 while he turned it out of the rough next to the square leg umpire.

[delicatessen]

Early doors, but India haven't gone into their shells. Could get good if these two stay in for a while.

[NTA]

This is a good over from Cummins.

[Donsteppa]

Bugger. Any sign of rain?

You could cut and paste this from almost any over he bowls.

gets a wicket. He looks tired though, only 3 overs in

Comms are full of shite except for Warney which you can't say often

if you guys are getting the Fox guys i am sorry for you (except for the excellent Isa Guha), the Ch7 guys are so much better. There has been a complete switch around where the free to air team are much better. Ponting is the best of the lot surprisingly.

[KiwiMurph]

The cool thing about Cummins is he doesn't have to try and mouth off or 'intimidate' as a fast bowler - he just rolls in - bowls great - and gets you out.

McGrath was military medium. Just put the ball on a pinhead, over after over in the low to mid 130's and waited for it to swing, seam or bounce to hit the bat a couple of cm off centre. Then everything comes into play.

McGrath was some player.

I'm always very dubious a team can play defense for an entire day, especially a Day 5 pitch. You need to put some sort of pressure on the fielding unit. Faf's innings in Adelaide doesn't happen very often.

[KiwiMurph]

@mariner4life it's hard to tell what they are going to do yet - because Pujara always plays like this. Gill seems to be playing his natural game.

My worry as an Aussie fan is fatigue. I think we need a few wickets out of Green and Lyon, and I'm unsure either can deliver.

[KiwiMurph]

No luck for Lyon there - good over from him.

[Hooroo]

My only grrr around DRS is ones like that. That is out. When it is got that much on the bail, it's out!
