Australia v India

Donsteppa

Starc will soon front if he gets to bowl at the lower order.

NTA

think young Gill got a bit nervous in the 90s. Great innings.

A bit of excitement. He had a few big blows to get the blood up and then lost his concentration.

Ouch

NTA

Shit he does not look good.

KiwiMurph

@NTA You have to wonder how long he can hold out

ACT Crusader

What a length ball from Hazelwood! Not really a short ball but the bounce has stung Pujara. He’s a bad man.

Donsteppa

The ghost of Shane Watson remains.

KiwiMurph

Was that Marnus talking them into another review?

NTA

I'm not sure that would bounce nearly as high as DRS suggested

KiwiMurph

@NTA it's pretty obvious DRS is shit when it comes to bounce

NTA

But still: NEVER ask Marnus.

NTA

Fucking hell Pujara surely must go off for three blows to the head?

barbarian

This is great cricket. Good bowling, great batting, all results on the table.

Donsteppa

The wall of Pujara is being chipped away at with regular amounts of explosive.

Godder

How is repeatedly hitting a batsman in the head legal?

NTA

Lyon seems to have found a couple of foot marks to work with

NTA

Jammy blighter

KiwiMurph

@NTA think he's earned some luck after that barrage.

NTA

@KiwiMurph I dunno. He didn't engage in anything like evasive maneuvers for the blow on the arm.

KiwiMurph

@NTA yeah he certainly has a risky 'technique' against the short stuff.

Donsteppa

How is repeatedly hitting a batsman in the head legal?

I think it's more on Pujara for technique in terms of shot/evasion selection.

Yet imagine if it was Harold Larwood bowling. :winking_face:
