[baggygreen man]

Play to resume 720pm

Oops. pretty much simultaneous posts.

 

[Eelectrica]

Can't believe they're able to get the game going again. Rain was insane

But yeah, must have really good drainage.

 

[baggygreen man]

Aussie pacers cant seem to build any pressure. A four ball almost every over.

Pinpoint accuracy by Ash tho. 14 runs from 10.

 

[baggygreen man]

Sensing the twilite is now having some effect on the ball. Bummer another rain delay.

 

[TheParraboy]

Rain again

India 1/132

 

[Twizzle]

got dumped on big time last night, more rain expected today

 

[TheParraboy]

Weather forecast looks ok for day 2 - during the day

Should get the first session in ok, maybe a little afterwards before the heavens open up again 6-7pm

Damm you D/N test

 

[baggygreen man]

Perry has overstepped on a wicket taking delivery. And it was Mandhana. Replays showed it may have not carried.

Only seven overs shared between Brown and Campbell yesterday. Not a good way for the skipper to instill confidence in his two teen debutants..

 

[TheParraboy]

Play underway earlier to make up time

India 1/145

Smriti 91* great knock

 

[TheParraboy]

Smriti gets her ton 101*

Only second non aussie to get a test ton on aussie soil, the other was a pom

Ind 1/157

India look set for 400+ and no chance aussies can win this

 

[TheParraboy]

We have tried 7 bowlers 59 overs.
Everyone has had 4 overs minimum and no Wareham yet? wtf !!
Molineux only one threatening and making some chances (Sutherland dropped a sitter of her bowling)
Gardener a part timer (maybe a littler better than that) has bowled 13 overs

Starting to think Lannings captaincy is a bit poo
We are just defensive now

Ind 1/176

 

[TheParraboy]

Pujara Punham brings up her ton

20* from 101 balls

 

[TheParraboy]

Thanks for listening Megs

Wareham introduced into the attack for the first time

 

[Bazal]

Lanning is normally a good captain but I have no clue what she was thinking holding back the leggy until the 60th over at 1/1000....

 

[baggygreen man]

Flat pich.. flat bowling. Just no penetration.

Good concentration and skill by Mandhana. We fed many of her runs but she does make batting look easy.

Perry finally cracks a wicket. Top pouch by Mooney.

 

[baggygreen man]

A wicket finally. Gardner pressured Mandhana into that shot. What economy 18-8-1-17

 

[TheParraboy]

Couple of quick wickets, need a couple more

3/230

Not using both new balls well this match

No DRS this test

 

[TheParraboy]

Punam doing a Gilly - walking when given not out

Edit: On reflection, I think she thought umpire was going to raise the finger, looked back as she was walking and umpire didnt, but decided just to keep walking. I think next time this happens, she will wait for umpires vedict

 

[baggygreen man]

Another one goes down

 

[TheParraboy]

cracker catch by Mooney

4/261
