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

[Meapro Ham]

cant be given out under those circumstances

Can pitch outside of off. Can't be out if struck outside the line playing a shot but pitched outside of off doesn't matter

Edit: i.e. what Tommy said

 

[chigurh]

Can't one of the other two just ask Waugh 'is Mitch Marsh good enough to bat at 6?'

 

[undertaker]

All over.

Anyone else get the feeling that we are going to get blown away in the next two tests?

That Pujara-Rahane partnership reminded me so much of the Laxman-Dravid partnership in 2001 that changed the whole momentum of the test series.

If we lose this test and it's 1-all, I don't think our squad has the confidence, mental grit and determination to fight back. They will be psychologically deflated, knowing they should be 2-0 up. I mean, we got rolled by Sri Lanka 3-0 after only losing one test to them in the previous 35 years or so. Choked in the 1st test, and got steamrolled in the following two. Made Herath look like Shane Warne

 

[8Ball]

Handscomb needs to play the innings of his life. And someone needs to stick with him

 

[Canard]

How can Wade justify his position in the team? What's his average since Nevill went? 10, 12?

 

[Bazal]

cant be given out under those circumstances

It doesn't matter if it pitches outside off. It can pitch 3 feet outside off if it hits in line and is hitting the stumps

 

[TheParraboy]

Imperitive Handscomb be there at the end, the tail can muster up 25-30 between them

still anyones game, india every so slightly ahead at the moment

 

[Desert Qlder]

Handscomb looks alright. But on this pitch that doesn't mean much.

 

[8Ball]

Been mentioned a million times but the problem with our side is:

6. MMarsh
7. Wade

And it looks like it'll cost us the test match.

 

[Twizzle]

It can't be given out if it hits the pad outside the line; but it doesn't matter if it pitches outside of off.

of course it doesn't, perhaps I should have worded that a bit better, I was moreso describing the ball and how wide it was, never gonna hit

under those circumstances being so wide it cant be given out

that sounds a bit better

 

[undertaker]

How can Wade justify his position in the team? What's his average since Nevill went? 10, 12?

The selectors had a massive over-reaction after that Hobart test vs South Africa. Didn't help that the media pre-empted the situation. Nevill was by far one of the least offenders and should've never been scapegoated.

Sadly, the only way I see Nevill getting back in is if Wade suffers an injury. Otherwise, like Shane Watson, I think Wade is going to get an extended run for quite some time.

They will take huge momentum out of this. Can just picture them winning the toss in the third test, piling on 500+ and this ordinary batting line-up folding again. We had them on the ropes this test and choked hard.

Now capitulating badly as Starc goes. This has been an epic team collapse.

 

[TheParraboy]

ok india well in front now...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

This won't take much longer.

 

[umina panther]

Dont ever block again Mitch you f**kwit and anyone who says you should has no idea

4.46, carry the Quiney

 

[Bazal]

6. MMarsh
7. Wade

And it looks like it'll cost us the test match.

We were behind the times early, our vice captain decided not to bother trying to consolidate, and then we have those planks at 6 and 7. We're on a hiding to nothing today sadly.

 

[Twizzle]

we're f**ked now

 

[undertaker]

Starc gone.

It's going to take the Bradbury of the 21st century to chase down the remaining 85 runs with only 3 wickets left.

 

[Bazal]

Dont ever block again Mitch you f**kwit and anyone who says you should has no idea

Yeah, because we're definitely going to hit our way to the win....lol
