@Donsteppa said in Australia v India:
111/7. If Rahane hadn't burnt Kohli, follow on territory might have been looming at this stage.
If India could catch...

Yep, hands like feet in the outfield again.

Another dropped catch.
Warne: “dropped an absolute soda”

I like AB’s thinking that OZ should either declare or go hell for leather for 30 minutes so they can get a bowl in tonight under the light.

Starc has turned up with the usual lack of fucks to give by the sound of it

Catching or lack thereof has been shocking from India

Deservedly cost them what should have been a very large first innings lead - Paine would be long gone.

I genuinely wish I had the time you guys did to whinge about test cricket commentary.
Highlights at best for me now. Commentators totally secondary.

this is a new thing for me. It's been more than a decade ... got to have kids old enough to be self sufficient, and the time to be able to watch a bit in the background.

Last time India was in Australia they took a test and a half to get their tactics right and went on to win with judicious batting and specific line and length bowling.
This time they've hit the ground running from the first game. The preparation of this particular Indian team is unique. Awfully, it's the opposite to what NZ did for their tour of Australia.
But for some straightforward grade cricket level catching, the Aussies could have been completely fucked. Credit to India for out playing the home side at the venue and pink ball that the Australians are so successful at.
But you never write them off, they always show something when they look vulnerable.
It's a great test with lots more to come.
Interesting that due to the proliferation of flat even wickets that we have to change the ball and playing hours to get a game where 250 is equivalent to 450 at Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne in a daytime game.I love these tests where you know 20 wickets will fall before 5 days. The smaller totals make every ball more intriguing

Two sessions could be critical in determining how this Test will go. If India score freely and head into the night session 250 ahead, the game could be largely gone. It's going to be tasty anyway tonight, I can't wait
