*Official* Australia in India 2023

[GotSpin]

Three mid wickets

I’m impressed with how well Lyon is bowling. Proper Indian spinner stuff.

Think this counts as a Funky Field (TM)

 

[GotSpin]

It's hilarious because none of these are remotely close to being caught behind either. They're just getting incredibly excited every time the bails come off for no real reason

I don’t see how that’s a bad thing for a side that’s been infamous for letting things slip in the field intensity wise

Marnus Labuschagne doesn't need an excuse for a chatter

I think Smith just lives his life in this state. He must be an absolute nightmare to live with.

Australia choked Pujara scoring areas . superb field placement

Lol shut up Sharma

Oh I'm not complaining, I actually love it - recreating the intensity around the batsman that infamously puts so much pressure on visiting teams. But it's definitely in that "exploiting the letter, not the spirit, of the rules" thing which IMO kind of breaks sport. But I've had that debate here before

It's comic, but I would not be surprised to see the rules change to prevent this. Clearly this is not what it was designed for

Need some runs before getting out .

 

[GotSpin]

Has Rohit waxed his eyebrows or something. Looks ****ing bizarre

 

[Sam Handwich]

The run rate has slowed to a crawl. Murphy has conceded 14 runs off 13 overs. Do ya think they should bring on some pace, maybe Starc can bowl a few more before close?

He was talking about Smith tactics of stumping

 

[Test fan]

Pujara just hit a six

 

[Spark]

Great shot but it would have been very very funny if he'd holed out there. Daggers stared for days between Pujara and Rohit

 

[AnthonyC]

Is India batting, to force Australia to bat in morning session? The wickets this series have been most difficult in first session.

Clearly not with the 6....

 

[Test fan]

Was that Pujara biggest six of his career?

 

[ashley bach]

if axar/poo take lead to 100 we will win imo

Probably need to scrape a lead of 130-140, Aus could probably Bazball their way to much less. Axar the man for a crisis.

Time for Starc

Ripper from Smith.
