Cricinfo commentary team struggling to type one-handed as the aussies crumble

Boghle the same on fox commentary. Like calm down mate, this pitch has as much bite as the tigers attack.

 

[Bazal]

Yay a wicket

 

[gUt]

Hayden now talking about drips off faces.

 

[Eelectrica]

India are mad if they don't put us in to face the final 10 overs of the day.

 

[jargan83]

India all out 571 - lead of 91.

3 or 4 overs at us tonight.

Watch Australia batting line up make this pitch look like a minefield near Bakhmut.

 

[Eelectrica]

So we'll need to survive a few tricky few overs. Just survive should be the plan. score runs tomorrow. Build a lead then in case we manage a patented collapse.

 

[mozza91]

I’d given up hope of any more wickets for the day. Then half an hour later we’ve got them all out and sent a night watchman in to open?

Funny game Test Cricket.

 

[Twizzle]

so can we refer to the K Man as an all rounder now ?

 

[Eelectrica]

so can we refer to the K Man as an all rounder now ?

If he reaches double figures, I'd say that places him above Warner on the openers depth chart.

Please make at least 10 runs K man.

This pitch should be rated poor, thats two in a row for India.

Kuhnemann gets a 50, should be rated extremely poor

I suppose the difference between the pitch being rated poor or good is us not having a batting collapse today and handing them a victory.

If we can be no more than 5 down at tea we should hold on for the draw and the pitch rated poor.

Hold on for the draw
Rate the pitch poor.

Cricinfo's take on Kholi's hundred: basically the greatest century by the greatest player ever. And some balderdash about the bowling depth in world cricket being better than ever because there are less draws.

The Virat Kohli century that was a trip back in time

The Virat Kohli century that was a trip back in time

One of the best batters that India has ever produced played an innings that made the mind look back across eras

What a month for Kuhnemann. 5 for and opening bat for Australia.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

There are only 3 results possible: Tie, draw, India win.

Our 480 was good but on this pitch 559 plus keeps you safe from defeat. That's how India used to dominate, bat teams out of the game and wait for opposition batting mistakes, not this pitch doctoring bullshit that makes it a lottery.

This guy seems to only write about Indian cricketers for ESPN Cricket. He's probably already forgotten about Oozie's ton.

All wickets in the match so far seem to have been from bad batting/mistakes rather than good bowling

 

[Eelectrica]

Kuhnemann farming the strike.
Good job, gotta protect the night watchman

 

[Eelectrica]

Then he gets out for 6.
Perhaps Kuhnemann isn't our future opener afterall.

 

[Bazal]

Lmao so we're up against the bowlers and Menon again. No way that was out

 

[yobbo84]

Honestly Nitin Menon is wrong that often, you can't help but think there's something more nefarious at play.
