Australia/England/India Tri Series Jan/Feb 2015

Posting just to break up the Waugh twins streak...

India very bogged down, but with wickets in hand and powerful batting to come you'd still expect them to post 250+ from this position, barring a collapse. Kohli going won't help, of course.

Even 240 would likely be competitive - highest score ever successfully chased at the WACA is 274, and only four times have teams successfully chased over 250 to win at this ground...

terrible shot from raina

ali keeps chipping in with the odd wicket , his contributions with the ball are keeping tredwell out as much as the inclination to play 4 seamers I think

[rich1uk]

much needed wicket for broad

he couldn't keep going at 6+ per over and not taking wickets whilst hiding behind the "coming back from injury" argument

[rich1uk]

finn gets rahane

another catch from buttler , hes not had to do anything spectacular but his keeping has really improved over the last year

India still can't play Ali. Now to make sure this tail doesn't wag.

Ian Bell

Oh, and good ball as well!

Dhoni gone.

As much as I've lept to the defense of Bops in the past, it's nice having wicket takers in the middle overs.

that's the reason I said I like the look of this bowling attack when you have finn and broad as your 1st and second change bowlers , with ali bowling well we have 5 wickets takers

Definitely. Ali has given us, up until now, something extra in batting and bowling.

so has woakes tbh , altho I still think he can improve his bowling even more , he has got his pace up but I don't think he quite bowls the right line and lengths for the pace he now bowls , he could really do with just adjusting his line maybe one stump towards the off side

we almost ruined that with the last couple of overs and let them get 20-30 more than they maybe should have , we should chase 201 easily tho

[The Waugh Twins]

Looking dangerous now.

we need a wicket or 2 , cant afford to get to 15-20 overs left and lots of wickets in hand or will get hammered

[The Waugh Twins]

OK I'm back from the airport, what happened?
