[AlwaysGreen]

Babar with a pretty fine hundred. Pakistan 2/188 as Australia's take the new pill.

2 overs before stumps.

New ball doing some talking

 

[yobbo84]

New ball taken, given to Lyon? Umm ok

 

[jargan83]

Great idea to give the new ball to the bald straight breaker

New ball doing some talking

It said why did you give me to this bald bludger?

 

[hineyrulz]

Draw coming up, and lol giving the new ball to Sir Bald a Lot.

 

[Twizzle]

A lot will depend on the pitch now, it was apparently deteriorating but you can't tell watching these 2 bat.

 

[JJ]

Fully expect Australia to win - but, at what point, if not already, will they be second guessing their decision to bat again for 97/2?

 

[Twizzle]

yeah, win lose or draw, I think it was a poor decision not to follow on

2/97 and we can't bat again, so if they pass us, although unlikely, we threw away 8 wickets

its not as though we've been over bowled and they are supposed to be professional athletes

 

[Eelectrica]

If we fail to win here, and I'm expecting a draw, the hopefully the follow on policy gets reviewed.
This was as clear cut a follow on situation as we'll get.

Chance for Swepson to make a name for himself.
From what I saw he looked dangerous at times, but was too far down leg by the end of the day.
Bowling defensively won't get us the win

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Won’t get another wicket.
Pakistan to get the win.

 

[JJ]

At the end of the day, more than enough time to bowl them out, but worse case scenario is what twizzle said, you threw away an innings for 97 inconsequential runs - if you put them in, you could have bowled them out to win (which I think will happen anyway), but you could get a small chase to win, and simply couldn't lose given the timing... strange...

 

[hineyrulz]

Don’t worry folks the BOAT will bowl us to victory!! His record in the last innings is second to none.

 

[Bazal]

Don’t worry folks the BOAT will bowl us to victory!! His record in the last innings is second to none.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Why not have 57 players around the bat. You scored 5000 runs so you could attack.

 

[_snafu_]

India will win this by 4 wickets.

Winning runs to come from a ramp shot.

 

[Eelectrica]

2/222 now.
Pakistan picking up 3 an over easily.

 

[Eelectrica]

I don't imagine too many teams have lost after declaring twice in the one game. Looks like this might be one though

 

[simmo1]

If you think Australia is bad at enforcing the follow on, some team in India decided to have another bat with a lead of 600: Link

 

[AlwaysGreen]

74 overs remaining. Come on BOAT.
