24 off 6. In the box seat now.

Shows how quickly things can change. 8 balls ago they were talking about the RRR up above 7. Its now down to 4.

Lyon has had two fourth innings on the two most spin friendly tracks in Australia and has failed miserably.

But he's the goat.

I looked the other day and in 100 tests he averages under 4 wickets. This makes goat talk even more of a side joke.

Just offers very little.

This is the dumbest performance by an Australian team in memory.

The captain's a dummy. So's the coach.

Averaging 4 wickets a test is fairly typical for most bowlers I think.

15 off 5.

Need to bounce Pant and set the field accordingly. Starc.

 

[kyuss]

why wouldnt you crowd the batsmen when Lyon is bowling. Australia like theyre playing for the draw.

If that's the plan then you guarantee Starc will bowl down leg side.....

This is what happens when you don't have enough Victorians in your squad

You are right mate. My bad.

 

[mrposhman]

Stick a fork in this one, its done. 10 needed from 4 and a half overs.

 

[mrposhman]

What a stupid shot, just play "normal" cricket shots. They can win this with singles.

As much as I could never bring myself to hope for an Australian loss, as someone earlier posted, it might lead to a much-needed shake-up of a few complacent attitudes in and around the team. The warning signs were there when they celebrated a 2-2 draw in England that they should have won at least 3-1, if not 4-0.

The game was done otherwise. They will just pick off the singles needed to win.

Probably done now anyway unless they get Pant. But he doesn't need to be silly.

We have batsmen that can't handle swing and turn. Cummins and Hazelwood really shine but they are overworked.

India are amazing cricketers.

Only chance now to run Pant out, trying to protect the tail.

 

[mrposhman]

Punter goes "the Aussies are going to make it really difficult for them to get these last 10"

Next ball - 1st ball of Hazlewoods next over - 4, nice prediction Punter

Australia need to win and India need to draw. You'd think it was the other way around.

Great win by India, but heads need to roll.
