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

[Twizzle]

A run out would really be the icing on the cake.

Haze with 1 run needed to win

 

[Bazal]

We've lost a number of big moments in this test.. We lost Marsh just before tea in the first innings. And Marsh...just before tea again today. Just can't help but feel that if we had a proper bloody batsman at 6, things would have been different.

Well if we had Handscomb or Smarsh at 6, there are two blokes who have shown fight. Khawaja at 3 or 4 is still a better batsman than Mitch Marsh regardless of his perceived issues against spin

So is Ashwin the david warner of bowling?

Great at home, mitchmarsh like away?

Only counts if they're Australian. We're horrible overseas but only win at home due to the dreaded 'roads' we produce. Roads that inevitably get a result mind you.

Yes, and Indians think he's great just like Australians think Warner is...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

People rag on him but I keep saying his average outside India is still better than Lyon's career average.

He's quite poor in Australia and his stats are certainly tainted by playing so much in suitable conditions but he's also a good bowler regardless.

Yeah, the bloke can bowl but his numbers are certainly boosted by the sheer amount of home matches they play.

 

[Twizzle]

78 to go, its in the bag

Yep, and Warner is good too, but neither are as brilliant as their home domination has home fans believing

 

[undertaker]

O'Keefe gone.

2 to go

 

[Bazal]

That's unplayable....old fashioned mulligrubber

 

[Twizzle]

woops

 

[umina panther]

GOAT time. We got dis

 

[undertaker]

with 2 to go, I think Handscomb has to go all in and hog as much of the strike as he can.

 

[Twizzle]

the Goat is on a pair here

 

[Timbo]

Not much he could've done there.

 

[Canard]

Damn it. Game over.

Great series so far.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

See ya pete.

 

[Twizzle]

silly shot but not much else he could do

 

[umina panther]

Finally 2 New South Welshman at the crease should be easy from here

 

[Timbo]

Oh bloody hell.

He had to go, but that was dopey.

 

[undertaker]

game over right there.

Don't see Lyon/Hazlewood doing what McDermott/May (at Adelaide) or Lee/Kasprowicz (at Edgbaston) did in the past.
