GolGappe Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Scenario 1: India loses a wicket quickly and bottom half of the batting gets blown away rapidly. Score 350-370 all out. Australia allowed to get back into the game. Scenario 2: India keeps scoring at decent clip and Aussies get wickets at regular intervals. Score 400-425. India ahead but Aussies not completely out of it. Scenario 3: One of Pujara or Vihari sticks around, handy cameos from Jadeja and Pant. India 475+. India firmly in driver's seat and Aussies fear repeat of Melbourne humiliation. Link to comment
zen Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) There can be various permutations and combinations. I want team Ind to have the following goals: * Seek to cross 400+ w/o taking unnecessary chances as the first step. Once there, access the situation in terms of over remaining, wkts in hand, etc * Decide how quickly they want to win the series. For e.g. if we are 400 for 6, and if the two batsmen at the crease are comfortable. May be bat till you are all out by pushing for 500+. As time goes by, Aus will have a lot to do and not much time to may be get into a position where it would be improbable for them to win (and therefore draw the series 2-2), therefore Ind would practically win the historic series on Day 3 (2-1 as draw would be the likely scenario) or 3-1 later on if Aus get reckless in pursuit of a win Edited January 3, 2019 by zen Link to comment
Cricketics Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Just hope for Pujara to score double ton and we should be on our way to 500 then. My prediction Pujara - 175 Vihari - 91 Pant 42 Jadeja - 42 Kuldeep - 25 India 510 Link to comment
zen Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 As for Aus, they would want to bowl Ind out asap ideally under 400. Get 300+ quickly. Put Ind on again to clean them up, and chase the balance in the 4th innings .... if it rains, Ind’s two spinners will be relatively less effective Link to comment
flamy Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Too much to expect from Jadeja and Kuldeep. Link to comment
Sloane84 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Scenario 1: India loses a wicket quickly and bottom half of the batting gets blown away rapidly. Score 350-370 all out. Australia allowed to get back into the game. This is the most likely scenario given how India's batting after the 5th wicket has gone. Australia will then respond with 340 - Khawaja 100, Handscomb - 50 With a 30 run lead, India then collapses to 147 all out - Kohli 75. Set to make 178 to win, Australia end day 4 at 82 for 2. I will tell you more on Sunday. Edited January 3, 2019 by Sloane84 Link to comment

coffee_rules Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 India will score 460-470. Link to comment
Nash Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Can Vihari pant and jaddu support pujara and able to add 100 more runs? Hard task but if pujara can make another 30 runs and rest could manage 70 . Link to comment
Tendulkar1996 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Need 400-450 at least.Ideally we bat as long as we can to rule out any chance of defeat.My fear is collapse before lunch . Edited January 3, 2019 by Tendulkar1996 Link to comment
Cricketics Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Pitch is flat, best chance for Aussies is the first half an hour to wrap us up apund 375. If Pujara/Vihari ended up playing well in the first hour, then we are surley getting 475+. Australia’s new ball advantage is right here is as the ball is pretty new, and if if they ever wanted to level the series, thisnis their best chance. Series is slipping away from them the longer our batsmen bat. loving this situation. 5 minutes ago, Nash said: Can Vihari pant and jaddu support pujara and able to add 100 more runs?

Vijy Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Depends a lot on how long the current partnership lasts. if it ends quickly, I think we will be all out for around 360-370, with pant scoring another 30. on the other hand, if the current duo can take the score close to 380-400, then we should be able to score around 500.
