Flog kohli nearly out 3 times in 3 balls. He'll make 422* now.

I think 132,000 seats might be a bit of overkill at this stadium.

Peaheart starc continues to be carved up. With this batting lineup, India still every chance of winning this

Commiserations to Patty. Cancer is a real bitch. And I'll leave that there.

 

[Eelectrica]

Doesn't look like we need to ponder the follow on question any longer.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

India 3/289 @ stumps 191 behind, Kholi 59 no.

 

[Eelectrica]

Probably reach our total sometime between lunch and tea break. 150 by the close if they look to pick up the pace.
Scoring seems like it's slow going. If they declared after lunch on the final day, surely we can survive two sessions?

Have India thought to try and create a pitch that's somewhat balanced between bat and ball? Sure, it's probably not easy to get the balance exactly right, but if it's a goal then more often than not it's going to be near enough to achieving that balance.
Seems they've gone too for the other way this time.

I reckon this pitch was prepared with a draw in mind so the Indians get a 2-1 result.

 

[Bazal]

Yeah definitely a pitch prepared so India almost can't lose... The old subcontinent road. They'd have been hoping to bat first and bat for three days

I reckon this pitch was prepared with a draw in mind so the Indians get a 2-1 result.

Risk with a draw, is they give SL the ability to make the WC Final over them

Unlikely SL Beat kiwis 2-0 (which is what needs to happen), but funnier things have happened

 

[Eelectrica]

Sri Lanka are in a solid position to win the first game. Could be that 300 or more will be tough to chase down for NZ

 

[Twizzle]

batting on this pitch looks very easy

 

[Hutty1986]

Load up on India and Titans to win

 

[Bazal]

Haha Jadeja you dumb Merkin

Gavaskars tears are salty deliciousness though

 

[Twizzle]

geez Jadeja won't be getting a Christmas card from Sunhil

they love a whinge these Indian commentators

 

[Bazal]

Feel like we got our selection wrong for this one. I just think you'd like to have a bustling quick like Boland who can make something happen on a dead track over Kuhnemann...

 

[Hutty1986]

Yeah, bowl some more innocuous bouncers boys!

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Kholi klosing in on the most kolossal kentury of all times

 

[Fangs]

Just tuning in to watch King Kohli bring up his ton.
