What will be target India should set for Australia?

[Tendulkar1996]

Hopefully 350.Atleast 300.

[BlueBee]

280 is like 300 here because of the slow outfield.

 

280 would be a good target. Don't see Australia chasing 280+

[putrevus]

100 more runs then they should be in position to force a win. Scoring has been so slow in this test , cannot be just due to pitch and bowlers. Intent has been missing from both sides, Pujara late in first innings,Head and to some extent Lyon showed runs could be scored at decent pace.

Kohli should have done better.

^ phir shuru ho gaya “Intent”. Bhai lets cross the line. There are no runs on this pitch. chepu is a geniius bat and hence he scored few runs.

 

Today,  I only saw last few overs and Kohli could have been out off Starc before loosing his wicket to Lyon. And he is arguably best bat in world. This just gives measure of wicket.

300+.

Kohli is not built same way as Chepu. Once he stops having those singles or is unable to keep scoreboard moving he becomes vulnerable.

Goosy choose your words carefully.  Better turn out that way, this **** is too important to fudge around with.  

 

I'm hoping we can scrap to 340+.  Anything less will mean squeaky bums all the way.  Virat's wicket was huge.  If he was still there, I'd be a whole lot more confident.  Now it will come down to the 2 Bombay batsmen to take us to a winning score.

Last time ind went 1-0 up in Aus was 15 years ago. So many agonising memories this year, really really hoping we don't f**k up this time.

I personally am looking at 250 first and 300 then only. Anything more is icing.

260 should be more than enough

Those scores are gettable  with a freakish innings or 2. I want to lock it down. 

[Khota]

Play two more sessions and then decide. No need to go for a win in the first session.

[Global.Baba]

It is the rain we need to keep into account. Target is already almost out of reach for the Aussies.

 

it is time and not score we should focus on

[punjabi_khota]

250

[vvvslaxman]

Another 50 partnership will put Aussies on the defensive. So Kahane should work on a partnership with Pujara. 

[Stan AF]

Nothing less than 350.

 

 

[Lannister]

It's a tricky situation as to when to declare. So I'd rather we will be all-out. We cannot afford to waste this golden opportunity.

Declare or no declare, but somehow we must find atleast 100 runs tomorrow. 

Chepu Rahane Rohit Pant, i somehow am not sure

[putrevus]

100 runs is a must anything over 125 will be safe.

^ i am relying on hitman and Pant. Both will try blinder but hopefully one can make impact. Ball is now soft. Aussies are bowling bouncers and pitch is crumbled. 

Last 1 hour today was painfull to watch
