Of his 3 innings so far, this one upset me the least. It's always easy to criticize him when he gets out playing a big shot. I guess he should have aimed for a straighter hit, but that's the way it goes when you go to hit big against a slow bowler. 

That one should upset you the most. Paine packed the onside field and Pant again obliged him (just like in Adelaide)

Because if Pant had continued to bat sensibly they could easily have been wiped out the first innings lead.

Then it could have been a totally different scenario in the 2nd innings.

Pant played and missed 6-7 deliveries. Will need a lot of luck to survive even an hour. Could be a repeat of Centurion - chasing 287, folded up for 151.

India add 75 runs in first session (27 overs). Pant will add 45 (74) and Vihari 28 (88). There will 2 leg byes. Score at lunch 187-5

 

2nd session India will lose Vihari lose his wicket adding 22 more runs in 54 balls (total 74 runs in 200 balls). Pant will face 18 in 42 balls with Aussies bowling tight line after lunch. India 231/6 with 4 byes post lunch (Vihari 74(200), Pant 72(135)).

 

43 overs in day 5, 47 left, 4 wickets left and 56 to get. 

 

Pant will hit 20 runs more and get out on 94, leaving India at 256/7. Ishant will be at 7 and Aus will need 3 more while defending 31. 

 

Yadav and Ishant will stitch partnership of 20 runs and Yadav will be run out. 

 

11 runs, 2 wickets. Shami will hit a six and get out. 5 runs, 1 wicket, Bumrah-Ishant on crease...

 

Watch match to see what happens next.

After all this, you wake up from your dream

The roller should initially favor us in terms of holding the wicket together. It got harder in session 2. Not that we got much of a chance but its an opportunity to show some character.

Imagine this,

 

One of them which can happen is that Pant going absolutely bezerk in the first spell of Aussie bowlers. Hitting Starc and Co left and right. There is a chance of this happening with his stroke play  and that putting them on the backfoot.  

 

If this happens, Imagine, India could be 180-5  by 20th over of first session. That is just around 100 run shot.

 

 

Imagine being Tim Paine that time. truing to shufffle the bowlers and also wondering how to to save 100 runs. He will be in same position as India werr in the first test.

 

Just Imagine.

 

There is a chance. 

ARSENIC UNFOLDING in first session now... @Cricketics

Just Imagine.

Yeah, because our lower order is as threatening as Australia's. 

 

It's pretty embarrassing to think that when we won, it was by such a close margin, but when we lost, we were decimated.
