Re: 2017 Tour of India

3 for 67 so there is a fair bit riding on Smith and Handscomb. Mitch Marsh will no doubt have his big moment.

I really want this win and we are going to need a couple of the batsman to make good scores.

Awesome test, no matter who wins.

If ever M.Marsh wanted to prove that he belongs as an Australian Test Cricketer,there will never be a better time then now.

Tea Day 4:
Aust 6 /101 needing another 87 to win.
Have lost 2 wickets while needing the devil's number to win.
Hanscomb not out 19.
Starc to join him after tea.

Nothing beats test cricket, absolutely nothing. Especially test cricket in difficult batting conditions in India when the games start at 3pm and finish at 10pm

Selectors still with Mitch Marsh. Waste of a bloody spot.

Re: 2017 Tour of India

Looks an unlikely task from here. Need Handscombe to play a massive innings and probably a decent cameo from Strarc too.

If we lose in a close finish how much accountability do the selectors need to take for effectively sending out a team with 10 players.

Handscomb looks very comfortable. Needs the tail to just hang in there - easier said than done.

21 tests, now averaging 21, barely bowling these tests (rightfully so at 38 and SR at 64) and Khawaja cutting oranges. And he came straight in with no form after being dropped. I'm sure CA will cover the selectors BS.

Yep, arrogant selection.

O'Keefe is decent enough with the stick and Lyon is full of heart. Not done yet

Nup, we are cooked. Could Khawaja have made up the difference by what we lose by? If the answer is yes, then the selectors have blown a chance to secure the trophy this test. When Ricky Ponting said 'the for the Aussies to win they need a few things going for them', I didn't think he was talking about the selectors picking 11 worthy players.

Re: 2017 Tour of India

Kohli has dodged a massive bullet. That smart arse has done nothing but yap off all game. His field placement has been shocking - no bat pad for most of the Aussie 2nd innings. His bowlers got him out of trouble today.

How massive was the Pujara Rahane partnership - 118 runs and the biggest partnership all series. Turned the game.

Re: 2017 Tour of India

10/90, including 9/70. I was hoping those huge collapses were passed us.
