Tailend-like openers = 154 still behind despite great batting by VK and AR

[fineleg]

Only 2-3 of the entire 11 can bat!!! (Vihari is newbie and unproven at this level).

Pant will swipe a couple of boundaries and perish and rest of the tail will fold for 10-15 runs.

So, this is still the last recognized batting pair and played brilliantly but still total 154 behind

We probably will end up giving 50+ lead at a minimum to Aus thanks to VJ Murali and K(fai)l Rahul !

And that  (50+ lead to Aus) is being optimistic that VK, AR and HV can score additional runs day 3

(because Pant onwards will score zilch).

 

First hour in the morning will be super critical as batsmen have to get set again and one good ball can trouble.

OPENERS have been a disgrace!!!
