Australia v India Test Series 2024/25

[GVGjr]

Good session by the Australians. Really dried up the runs.

[Mofra]

Boland is disciplined and Webster useful. Not quick but hits the right spots and gives the quicks a chop-out

[jazzadogs]

Third umpire didn't have anything else on his mind other than saying that catch was grassed. Actually excited when he saw it was close and declared it hit the ground.

I would have paid it out, but it was very much a 50/50 decision.

I would have paid it out, but it was very much a 50/50 decision.

I'm not too stressed by the decision, even though I thought one angle clearly showed it was up. What I thought was odd was the quick reaction from Wilson and the borderline glee with which he proclaimed it had hit the deck with little analysis.

If one angle shows that it's up, and the other inconclusive, which one do you go with? It seems the inconclusive one was taken.

Anyway, another wicket to Boland. Good to see Kholi in the sheds.

[GVGjr]

Boland has been huge for us. We are well placed but need to keep the wickets ticking over.

[Bornadog]

India waste a review with DRS showing plum middle stump

[GVGjr]

Lets hope we clean up the last pair quickly. It's been a good day for us especially given India elected to bat first after winning the toss.

Bloody Usi, last ball

[Dogs 24/7]

Bloody Usi, last ball

it kills ya doesn't it? Just seems to happen with our side more than most.

[jeemak]

Konstas didn't need to get involved as Usman had delayed the play sufficiently to ensure that was the last over, but that defensive effort from the latter to fall on the last ball of play was as good a sign as you're going to get that he's not long for the test world.

Really dreadful stuff from Ussie.

[Eastdog]

Good day for us with ball bowling India out for 185. Not so good batting with Usman going out on the last ball. Need the top order to go well and get a substantial first innings lead.

[jeemak]

As an aside, the Indians are a massive bunch of pussies for going so hard at a nineteen year old. That he's gotten under their skins to this extent is amazing.

He should just be laughing and cannon fodder for them.

[GVGjr]

Prediction time: - How do you see today playing out? How much of a lead should we be able to build or will it be a struggle?

[whythelongface]

Some good bowling and now in trouble at 3-35. Konstas can obviously play but gee he needs to be more selective with his shot making. That was not good.
