Australia tour of India, Feb 17-March 29

[dan08]

Drop Warner and just bring him back for home series.

[meninblue]

Need one more wicket before they make 32.

Warner put down by Nair (another drop for him after shelling Wee Davie in the first innings). Looks like a wicket could fall at any time.

Mystic Mildred

India to chase 170 in the final innings.

Reckon you're probably right there AC.

What a superb match. Every time one side gets an advantage, the other side strikes back.

[alfie]

Smith starting in his usual way : working the ball off his legs. It seems to be impossible to get the line quite right to him : either he leaves outside off or turns it to leg. Some similarity to the way Amla used to frustrate the off spinners...but he has it working for him even against lively pace when the ball is jumping...

Needs Renshaw to lock up the other end and blunt this new ball attack.

Once again - a big session.

Amla has same trigger movement, however i think Amlas trigger movement is more .

Smith

Just as he was putting Bhuvi to the sword...a loose pull ...and could that be the series ?

[Dr Cricket]

did india just take Smith out cheaply.

[hopeforthebest]

Strange and irresponsible innings fro Smith.

[Dr Cricket]

which aussie batsman is injured.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Runs scored in the top six: Smith is second to Bradman.

Two down with scores equal. Normally I say that's level, at two down. But with Smith out, it's tempting to feel India have won the game. But the Aussies have been tough to beat so far and may be again.

[bigfluffylemon]

Handscomb comes in ahead of Marsh. Interesting. Is Marsh injured?

Huge wicket, but as AC says, this one is now really in the balance. It's not going to be a draw though, barring rain.

[alfie]

Marsh with an injury ...drops down the order. Handscomb and Renshaw , the two new boys who have done so much to revive Australia this year , now have it all to do...

These Indian quicks have found another few mph today. And bounce...

Now Renshaw goes .

Minus 1 for 3

[Dr Cricket]

if india win, never actually expected them to beat australia in a WACA type Dharamasala.
once WACA goes, Dharamasala might actually be the last place to be the WACA considering it uses the same soil and plays similar to it.

[Arthur Crabtree]

That partnership between Saha and Jadeja is looking like a match winner.

[GarlicJam]

So, how's the weather?
