Renshaw not out 37 from 137 balls.

What an awesome test dig so far from a youngster on a tough Indian wicket.

Probably not quick enough for some mugs in a comm box but there are those amongst us that can appreciate what an effort this has been so far.

I 99% agree with that. It's good to see some good old fashioned occupation of the crease.

I will say though that he has been out there long enough to start pushing a few more singles. It takes a lot of pressure off both batsmen when the strike is turned over a bit more than what they have been doing today.

That's a fantastic 50, really great stuff. Stuff the sr this is real test match batting. And from a 20 yr old no less.

At some point they need to start pushing on a bit though. Where are the runs going to come from without Smith? It's a bit of a worry

You know if Renshaw gets out trying to lift the scoring the gronks who are criticizing him will blast him for throwing it away and not applying himself.

And the same peanuts who criticise him are the blokes who rarely fought hard for their team, leaving it for others to do the grunt work.

Maybe the Aussie tactics are just keep grinding out 2 runs an over and if they get 100 run lead it's probably enough.

Fair enough if it works I suppose. Gonna take them a hell of a long time to get there though.

Why does he need to raise the rate? India have thrown everything at us...If we get to tea 2 down, they will be demoralized. That's where the game is at.

They are getting quieter and less energetic by the over.

India also only have 4 front line bowlers..

F*cking hell. Superb knock but we needed a hundred there. Irresponsible to get out that way after he had worked so hard. Real opening for India now, still 60-odd in front
