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

[Fufu Andronez]

that one was all Wade, Smith didnt want to go for it

 

[Eelectrica]

Wish Smith would give himself a bowl. Also would have hurt to give Maxwell a few more overs? Couldn't have been worse than the GOAT. That first innings in Bangalore is a world away. Hasn't done anything since.

Hard to blame the bowlers - this is a 600 run wicket. Our top 5, Smith aside, didn't do their jobs and its going to cost us.

Agreed.

Fair call, but where would harm be in trying some other options instead of burning out our main bowlers?
Just gotta hope that we can dig in when it's our turn to bat. 5 sessions to go, India will be wanting to give themselves a solid lead and knock us over in 3 and a bit sessions.

Marsh,Wade,Handsome,Warner can't even score runs on this thing,useless merkins

Agreed. Renshaw threw it away, he's a young pup but he could have playee a Pujara like innings and really set it up for us.

But hopefully he'll learn, Schoolie should already be better

 

[some11]

And there goes the lead, these two will pile on another 100 runs easy.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Give Renshaw a bowl. Not sure what he bowls but it would be better than anything lyon has offered

 

[hineyrulz]

Wade couldn't bowl any worse than he keeps.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Paddy deserves 5 wickets here. He's been fantastic on a pitch which has offered nothing.

 

[Hutty1986]

Feel sorry for Cummins here-carrying a side that has thrown away the ascendancy in a test match for the second striaght game. These two have batted 50 overs just for this partnership alone...doubt our fragile batting line up (Smith aside) will be able to reach that many.

 

[Eelectrica]

Wade couldn't bowl any worse than he keeps.

Give him a bowl then. Might be his true calling. Handscomb could say Niiiiiice Wadey after every ball.

Guess this is how England must have felt.

 

[tomdl]

Give Renshaw a bowl. Not sure what he bowls but it would be better than anything lyon has offered

Bats like Cook, bowls like Swanny

 

[aussies1st]

Geez painful to watch,

This.

With more than 170 overs bowled in the innings, Australia's got to try something different here. Smith, Warner, Maxwell, Renshaw and Wade can all bowl.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Steve Smith is a useless captain,no joke he has no idea

 

[mave]

No no, lets bowl Haze and perpetually injured Cummins into the ground.

Mix it up Smithy FFS.

 

[JJ]

Warner is useless on anything but roads but it seems only roads at home

Pretty shit captaincy from Smith, why the f**k wouldn't you try one of the part time options

Cummins really is special but he shouldn't be having this load, I really worry

 

[Iafeta]

So are India interested in trying to win this thing or lol for 2 days to bump up their averages?
