In day night tests thats the winning score.. ball seams like crazy under lights. Also india won scoring 250 last series batting first.. so win toss bat first

 

oh i thought ur talking about normal ones, yea 300 may just work in day n night 

[T20]

India must declare overnight. India need to be smart and astute.

 

Ideally they declare after lunch. If they declare overnight, this team managment is stupid as f**k.

 

Keep their bowlers fresh for the First test, they dont need to bowl 90 overs today. Thats unnecessary.

 

In fact I would like to see Saha bat today as well. While the Pant and Vihari centuries are meaningless, they have gained a lot of confidence by batting in the middle.

 

I would like to see both actually score big centuries today, like 150+ to get them mentally cherry ripe for Adelaide.

 

I think India can win by bowling this Aus A team out inside 2 sessions, witht the swinging pink ball at night.

Pant should be part of our T20 squad also. He should open instead of Dhawan.

Not so fast. Let's see how he does against the Aussie Frontline bowlers. This TM is always looking for reasons to drop him, so he has to be consistent and score couple of centuries at-least in the series.

Pant looks like he lost a little bit of weight. 

Or, he is wearing a loose white T-shirt which hides his bulk somewhat. A true indicator of his fitness will be how well he keeps and bats in the series.

Indian declared 

[test fan]

India has declared ,this means no batting for Saha and all likely Pant set to start the Test series.

[IndianRenegade]

Shami strikes first. he looks really threatening here!

[New guy]

Feels like we are over bowling Shami and Bumrah for no reason

LMAO even someone like Dhoni wasnt required to score over seas 100s. Dravid has a single 100 in Australia. Sehwag has 0. Laxman never scored a single 100 in England. What the * kind of expectations is this from a 23 year old wicket keeper?

 

He has already been keeping really well so far. He never had a problem keeping in tests. Never had a problem keeping against pacers. Never had a problem keeping in SENA

Sehwag has 2 century in aus

With only 4 pace bowlers, let’s see how they handle them here.. India already got what they wanted by bagging both the openers cheaply. Vihari should bowl 15-20 overs on a trot from one end.

Siraj nd saini giving two boundaries per over.. half volleys nd short pitch.. stuff.. pitch seems to hv flatten out but the length of both of the bowlers has been shabby.

 

We will dearly miss ishant here.. he made valuable contribution last series..

exactly my thoughts ...

 

Its simple logic that when the ball is not doing enough...maintain line & length

[gakgupta]

Siraj looking lot better than saini

[gakgupta]

Saini is known for line and length but in this tour ( & innings) he is far from that...

[gakgupta]

what is the pace like?? saini and siraj

[jf1gp_1]

Well done Siraj, dont think have see this in a long time

Getting the potential openers for the first test is crucial. I guess we've done enough for the match. bumrah and Shami should not bowl anymore. Let Saini and Siraj compete for the third bowler's spot and have a trundle from Mayank and Vihari

That was a nasty hit. Siraj did the right thing in going to help Green

Pitch looks flat at the moment. Saini also not bowling at full clip at the moment. He should be to put pressure on Virat for the third seamer's spot unless we are going with 4. That will take a bold decision
