India are fighting back strongly in this test match however I think Australia is in a strong position on 255/6 as this pitch is very tough to bat on and as the pitch starts to dry out it will be even tougher to bat on. If Australia can get around 300+ runs then it will set them up nicely for the win as Australia's pace attack is a lot stronger then India.

You still believe Australia got better pace attack than India ? Just check how Australia suffered in the first test match of this series. As of now, Australia may score up to 350 runs in their first innings whereas I am expecting India to bat for second and third day and may score 600+ runs and then it would be easier for them to bowl out Australia with less than 200 runs to win this match by innings. All these depend on how India opener will start after Australia finish up their first innings.

600+ runs lol

I think this guy got over confident and thought India would easily win lol, lets be honest India were very lucky to have won the first test match and there wasn't much between the teams but I think some people were getting a little over confident with India. Australia now just need 5 wickets to win this test match and square up the series 1-1, it will be tough for India to hold on for a draw on this pitch as if they do hold on in the morning session the new ball will mostly do the damage once it is taken tomorrow.

Yeah lol, can't blame anyone for this Cheesy

that's why i told him to keep his thoughts to himself. was rude but it was necessary because this dude sounds like an Indian coach Ravi Shashtri. Grin

I hate to say but you dont know shit about test cricket or Indian batting lineup/History. so stfu Cheesy

As an Indian fan i am still waiting for some miracle here Undecided

From here only OZ winning the game and leveling the series to 1-1- seems to be possible. As probably in first session tomorrow itself India might be all out and match would be over. Unless some unexpected forecast changes etc could only now save the game rest nothing much left in this game.

Friends Cricket is game of miracles and here we can expect any result because Pant and Vihari both can change things for visitors so The game is still alive for India but it is a big ask so lets see what happen because I enjoy cricket just because of these type test matches Wink

Yes these two can bat on and try and get India close to the target but once the new ball is taken by Australia, I think it will be game over. The new ball has been tough to play on this pitch since day one with it moving around and swinging so it will be tough for the Indian batsman. Lyon is also getting the ball to play tricks so he may play a role early in the first session later today. If Australia do get the win I think its good for cricket here in Australia as like I mentioned in this thread many times, the crowd numbers will be most likely low and so far they have been as two of their key players are out due to suspension and both Smith and Warner are popular players here in Australia. So a win for Australia will hopefully get people coming to the cricket for the big Boxing day test match which is the biggest test match of the Australia summer of cricket.
