2nd Test: India v Australia at Bangalore on Mar 4-8, 2017

[AlwaysGreen]

Doubt the attack is going to tire much with 3 spinners. Good approach against a fast bowling attack but just blocking for endless hours against spin plays into their hands.

What 3 spinners?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

That was a gutsy innings,if every remaning batsmen can get 20-30 odd that will help with a few from the tail

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Bowling quality spin can tire you out, maybe not as fast as bowling quick but there's extreme work going on with your fingers and your shoulders especially.

Every bowler gets fatigued the more spells they bowl. You get to your 4th or 5th spell and if you're not starting to bowl less effectively than you're a machine rather than man

Well played young man, shame he couldn't go on with it.

doesn't matter, as long as we bat long. 2 an over is ok.

There is 540 overs in a test

 

[TheParraboy]

What 3 spinners?

yeah they dropped one of them for a batsman, so only 2 spinners

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Im gonna throw cats at bus drivers if Wadey doesn't at least get 30

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I told you, pencil Wadey in for a hundred.

Off 87 balls.

 

[8Ball]

I love how these Indian commentators say there's nothing in it for the spinners unless the ball goes chest high from 2 feet in front of the batsmen..or turns 3 feet

 

[undertaker]

Very good crowd in Bengalaru today, much better than the ghost town atmosphere in Pune.

It's been many years since I last saw a crowd this big for a test match in India.

 

[TheParraboy]

only 39 behind now, 7 wickets in tact

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Starting to pick it up now off a very good platform.

 

[TheParraboy]

these 2 guys (SMarsh and Handscome) use their feet well to spin, lots of singles around

3/152

Just plodding along at 2 an over forever won't work. It puts too much pressure on the batting side. At some point you need to start pushing it along a bit. Which is what Hanscombe appears to be doing

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Need a lead of 120-150 cos honestly we will never get a better chance in our lfietime to see Aus go up 2-0 against India in India

 

[undertaker]

Australia need to overcome the deficit before they can start to accelerate the run-rate, preferably before half-way through the final session. They can't afford to lose another wicket before getting to 189.

Need to get to at least 300 to put pressure on India, 350 would be more ideal. Don't want to be chasing too much on the final innings on this pitch, especially as it starts to deteriorate.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

New ball in 5 overs, they'll probably take it to give their spinners a rest and get a harder ball.

 

[OVP]

This 35 by Darsh should be enough to keep him in the team for another 15 years.

 

[Barkley]

What a great catch.

 

[TheParraboy]

handscome too aggressive on this deck, paid for it

4/160
