Will India fall short by 40 runs?

[Trichromatic]

Right now it looks like Aussies will be chasing 320 runs in 140 overs.

 

Time won't be issue for either team. Indian team will think that they fell short by 40 runs of likely target of 360 and 10 overs less.

Stupid aggression and intent.

350 would have been comforting. 320 even stevens

if pant had batted more judiciously, and ashwin & rahane not thrown away their wkts a target of 370-380 was very settable.

Just brainless batting during last 30-60 minutes.

Why the hell is the team piling on this brainless aggression!??

[The Dark Horse]

This is enough.

[GoldenSun]

It obviously comes from Kohli/Shastri. A grave mistake as I felt they should have gone guns blazing only after a cushion of 350.

ask the captain and coach. apparently, aggro is everything. aggro is life. aggro is love.

7 wickets for just 73 runs. That says it all.

Jeez. Over reaction again. 320 is more than enough. If Australia can chase the highest ecev fourth innings target in Adelaide then Kudos to them.

says enough about our middle and lower order, i.e. we lack them for the most part.

[Nikhil_cric]

We might still win this but we haven't been ruthless enough.

however, that is not the point of the thread. the point, IMO, is that we could have batted more smartly and easily got to a target of 370-380. nearly all the wkts lost were due to shoddy and incompetent batting that reflected a lack of cricketing awareness and intelligence (i.e. our captain & coach combo).

Yep this is India's game to lose now.

Even if India win convincingly,the harakiri which happened at the end should not have happened,it is like they had become complacent..It is like Law of Attraction.If you are willing to be only competitive,you get ealry satiety..We were 234/3 at one stage.

Actually winning this game will make Team Aggression and even more Aggressive and With Anushka Devi and Anniversary Celebrations in tow, they might end up losing their damn series.

that is worrying aspect, 234/3 should never end up 307 all out.

Unnecessary pressure created because of harakiri of last 5  batsmen.

[fineleg]

Moronic batting by last 5 batsmen of India.

If we had kept batting, Aussies would have drawn this match. Good job by our lower order to give a tricky total to the Aussies.
