We got to be the most pessimistic fans in the world if we have this attitude. Unless this is trolling, this shows a very poor state of mind on the fans end. We got one opener debuting and one makeshift opener forced to play out of comfort zone, we should be elated not trying to pin pricks on a solid rock foundation... I am elated as a indian cricket fan...hope u too are. Negative commentators are discussing same right now. Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 23 dot balls for Kohli and then he plays an ariel wide drive. How unusual is that. Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Day 2 first session - 28 overs, 62 runs, 0 wickets, 2.21 RPO Link to comment

Straight Drive Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Jeez, wait till both teams have batted before harping like impatient kid over the run rate. Its a five sayer not T20. Let the match finish and we can see how both teams batted on this wicket. Same innings on day 1 and day 2 will be pillars of this win. Trichromatic and Mosher 1 1 Link to comment

What the team is trying to do is score majority of runs in one innings so that not many runs need to be scored in second and even if there is collapse the lead in first innings covers that. The run rate is 2.38 Link to comment
R!TTER Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 That approach is safety first, like what Pak does/did in UAE & it won't win you too many games! Link to comment

Pak does it at home. We are playing overseas. for us this is the best approach. Scoring 440 in 170 overs is better than getting all out at 400 in 150 overs. Switchblade 1 Link to comment
R!TTER Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Right, so we're looking to draw this game & then win the next one? If Aus don't implode, which they certainly can, then this opportunity will cost us the series! Link to comment

R!TTER Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 It is but we'll see whether the bowlers do as well on this pitch as opposed to some of the more helpful ones, also fielding - if we take very catch or half chance then ideally we should win. Link to comment

G_B_ Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I think India have basically ensured that Aus have to bat on day 5. Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Looked flat but with its sluggishness and variable bounce, not that easy to bat on. Add the absolutely dead outfield. Don't know how many genuine boundary shots did not reach the fence. Must have cost us 25-30 runs if not more. But if someone wants to play defensively, with some luck, will be relatively easier as there are not too many nasty surprises. Will have to wait till tomorrow to see if it breaks up. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 We should have batted till end of day. Those overs we gave aus to bat, woulod have given players T20 licence to inflict carnage Then bowl start of day 3 But Kohli wanted to have some overs today, fair enough, positive move. But I would have done it slightly different Link to comment
