Paine drops another one

Yeeesh, the easiest of his drops too!

India are going at a very old fashioned run rate too. What exactly is their game plan here ?

Bat time.

.....and back themselves to skittle Oz cheaply ?

Good 50 that man.

The mistake Paine is making: not having anther pace bowler going short at the other end.

[Siam]

@NTA snicko says yes

@Siam and we're taking about the one over his head or the inside edge earlier?

Nah, watch the rain, scramble a draw and keep the gav/border trophy then return home to heroes welcome against the poms. Sound plan

That makes sense but just seems so defeatist, not to mention old fashioned. Test matches are usually played with much more aggressive tactics these days.

India are playing with a complete second string bowling lineup. Missing Bumrah, Shami, Jadeja, Ashwin and Yadev.

Yes got 'im!!!

After decades we've finally beat down "the Aussie" to have a kiwi cricket type whine . It's taken a lot of perseverance and losses but finally we've got the Aussies stooping to a good old kiwi cricket, "it's not fair"

How about a role reversal: you've travelled to India twice in 3 years, had unprecedented series success, used 20 players, your best aren't there, you've been locked up for 2 months and you've got a chance to keep the trophy that has eclipsed the Ashes as most sought after. I think most of Australia would welcome a draw and a trophy

Oz want it played at a rate of knots. This pace (which isn’t that bad) would be frustrating the hell out of the Aussies. That’s a psychological win for the Indians in my books.

Finally a big swing draws a wicket. They'd started to go the heave and this time the in-ducker gets it

[Siam]

@ACT-Crusader the irony being the current run rate is being anything but defeatist.
A remarkable series

Amazing what happens when you bowl at the stumps.

TBF, they tried that for 20 overs and kept getting driven to the fence.

Gah. Not a review. Really?
