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

[TheParraboy]

credit to Pujara as he made the best of the chances we gave him

this is where we are hurting from the failure of our top order in the first innings, we should have batted longer on this pitch which really offered nothing on the first few days

Agree

Cant believe Allan Border said he was happy with 451, we needed 500+ to assure we don't lose the test at the very least

Warner out to a full toss? I mean WTF, his confidence is shot. Win or Loss he needs to be dropped for the 4th test for Khawaja no exceptions. SMarsh and Handscomb need to deliver big time this dig, big 50s from both of them.

We can still save the test, obviously we need to get through the first session with maybe no more than 3-4 down. Then try and establish some sort of lead in the 2nd session, and then hopefully still be batting into the 3rd session.

All points to an Indian win, If we manage to draw it will be a win of sorts for us and give us some confidence going into the decider, but it wont happen I feel we will get flogged "sniff"

Only 85 more overs left

Warner seems pretty happy with himself up in the sheds

 

[mave]

He knows he is safe.

Why wouldn't he be, got himself a day off.....

 

[vvvrulz]

I hope whoever said world class Warner would have coped in the 90s against the best is taking note

Nothing more than a one dimensional bully, being shown up completely by a 20 yr old

And an OLED TV.

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

Maybe he just checked his bank account and noticed another royalty deposit from LG...

Renshaw has a strike rate of 23. Drop him for the next test.

 

[yobbo84]

Jadeja - terrific bowler, terrible appealer.

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

interesting field... hopefully Smiffy doesn't fall for it and leaves all of this shit outside off stump alone. fished at a few in the last over

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

Binga talking up Pissant.... Apparently he's very good at bowling in a 'straight line' whatever the f**k that means... ha-ha

 

[TheParraboy]

almost 1 hour down and no wickets lost, so far so good

India will get desperate soon, the appealing will get louder and more comical

 

[Eelectrica]

Renshaw finally catches uo to Warner. Took about 60 balls to do it. Warner wins. Replace Renshaw with Finch.

Don't they know the game has to keep moving.
Also we need that 200 run lead so we declare by tea and Lyon can run through them. get scoring chop chop.

 

[hineyrulz]

Get off the pitch you ugly merkin.

 

[JJ]

Renshaw wasting a lot of deliveries, hopefully Davey will have a chat

 

[lockyno1]

Renshaw will be so much better than Warner it isn't funny

 

[lockyno1]

Renshaw wasting a lot of deliveries, hopefully Davey will have a chat

True, the lack of a reverse sweep of some other trash is concerning

India could squeeze out over 100 overs today

 

[TheParraboy]

India could squeeze out over 100 overs today

They could

They also could have bowled 15-20 overs last night and possibly jagged another wicket, as mentioned in the commentary the pressure was much more intense than this morning

Agree with Haydos, they also lost some time when Pujara and Saha were batting slowly to assure they get 200 and 100 respectively
