3rd Test: India v Australia at Ranchi on Mar 16-20, 2017

[Eelectrica]

Crucial final session coming up. We need wicket badly. Can't allow India to to 4/400 odd at Stumps.

Was watching a video on former English fast bowler Derek 'deadly' Underwood on YouTube not long ago. Bowlers like him are definitely a lost asset in cricket today. Underwood absolutely hated conceding singles and were able to bowl for long periods of time with accuracy and precision.

I look at Lyon's field placings and there's just too many easy singles for the batsmen, especially on a pitch that isn't offering the spinners as much as the first two tests. With the constant rotation of the batting strike, it makes it nearly impossible for the bowler to build momentum.

It's mind boggling how Lyon has got so many test wickets, shows how poor most of the batting is in world cricket these days.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I'm a big fan of Pujara.

Very much a classical test batsman and a joy to watch.

Arguably a better test bat to date than Kohli.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

If garry or whatever the f**k they call him can't take a wicket can he at least try and concede less than 3.5 runs an over.

 

[Hutty1986]

Cummins with no support. Haze fairly economical but not much else. We need a minimum of 3 wickets this session. If they get through unscathed, India heavy favourites to win the test imo

Averages 62 at home 33 away.
9 hundreds at home 2 away.

Pretty much a Schoolie Warner.

Kohli at least has done a bit away from India. 56 at home 44 away. 7 hundreds at home 9 away.

He's a prick but he can bat.

 

[TheParraboy]

corker of a delivery from Haze

hopefully the tails follows cheaply

India 5/320

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Sadly ,7,8,9 are handy with the willow so a bit of graft left.

 

[Tweed Titan]

Lyon to bring up his century.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Averages 62 at home 33 away.
9 hundreds at home 2 away.

Pretty much a Schoolie Warner.

Kohli at least has done a bit away from India. 56 at home 44 away. 7 hundreds at home 9 away.

He's a prick but he can bat.

Can't argue with those stats.

I thought he was better away from home.

So he's just a more classical hometown Davey.

 

[Pete Cash]

He had had shocking tours of countries one would associate with pace bowling. England, australia, new zealand. Surprisingly ok in south africa though.

He looks very solid at the crease but has disappointed outside of india

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Paddy putting in.

 

[Eelectrica]

Clap that Kholi ya D1ck head!
Well done once again Cummins.

 

[8Ball]

Fair effort this from Cummins fresh off a plane with no prep

I'm listening to the coverage, but I wish someone would record his innings and send it to Warner. He could learn a lot from the patience Pujara has shown.

Australia doing well to fight back, the runs have suddenly dried up. We may well get a half decent first innings lead afterall.

[I'm a loser baby...]

Is there an app or anything that will alert you when a wicket falls?

Desperately need Pujara out by stumps

He's channeling the great wall of India - Dravid.
