'India will be looking to get as big a lead as possible'

No shit Sunil.

 

[mave]

Carey trying to erase the deficit in the first over of the day

No shit Sunil.

It’s why they pay him the big bucks.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

5 for Bumrah and a horrific shot by Carey.

 

[hineyrulz]

Absolutely pitiful from Carey.

 

[mave]

FFS....must get bat on every single ball.

 

[Bazal]

Lol relying on Carey was never gonna work.

Starc needs to look for the ropes now

 

[mozza91]

Flogball nuffy

 

[hineyrulz]

Oh well those odi games against Pakistan were such a great idea.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Declare. Send them back in. Bowl them out for 150. Then get rolled by 80 and lose by 150 runs.

Merkin always bats like it’s indoor cricket, tries to hit every ball.

I'm glad we rested our best players for the decider too, it's paid off here

The people running the game and making the decisions make Parra management look like Mensa graduates.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Why is Finch commentating on test cricket?

It's like me giving hairstyling advice.

 

[Bazal]

Merkin always bats like it’s indoor cricket, tries to hit every ball.

Look I don't especially rate him but starting again, it was the perfect all for the player from Bumrah. We shouldn't be relying on the keeper and opening quick to salvage an innings chasing 150 though so it's hard to blame Carey much

 

[Incorrect]

Declare. Send them back in. Bowl them out for 150. Then get rolled by 80 and lose by 150 runs.

And get a game of golf in tomorrow!!

 

[Bazal]

Lyon can defend. It sounds harsh but Starc should keep him at Bumrahs end and then try and smack Rana for a few

I doubt we last long anyway

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Good sledging starc. Maybe concentrate on batting for a while

 

[hineyrulz]

This is the worst batting performance from Australia I’ve seen at home in a long long time. Sure there is a bit in the pitch but it’s hardly a mine field.

 

[hineyrulz]

Good sledging starc. Maybe concentrate on batting for a while

Well he did his job yesterday, he should have his feet up atm. Our front foot plodder batsman have gone full Retread.
