I think we will be safe at 450..  Anything above that will be bonus.  But I think we will get 345 AO..  Tail needs to show some fight as well. 

 

starc will clean our tail in no time

I will hope we do score 500+ but will take a lead of even 30-40 runs. Pant will be the key, he scored 70-80 runs, we will definitely be ahead.

 

500+ has been scored by a visiting team at SCG only 4 times since 2000. Thrice by us in 2004, 2008 and 2018 and once by England in 2011.

When was the last time this team came anywhere near to scoring 500 runs overseas?

2018. Scg. But we dropped Mayank who starred there.

Its criminal getting out after being set in this pitch.

Nope, this is not a patta. Smith and Labu even after hitting 50s, got beaten by the movement off the pitch, slight swing or variable bounce on a number of occasions. That shows in Aussies losing 8/172 today. That does not happen on day 2 of a patta wicket.

 

It's a very pitch pitch where bowlers will always know they have a chance or as a batsman you can score runs through application but with some luck.

We were robbed by PP, *nor et al in 2004 & the same *nor & Symonds back in 2008, rain saved Oz 2 years back :motz:

30-40 runs means Australia will have chance to win.

 

Anything over 250 as target in 4th inning and Aus will fancy their chances.

 

500 is needed for draw result.

I don't see how India will score 500 with Gill and Rohit back. Pujara can bat all day long but he has completely lost the instinct to score runs which he used to have notwithstanding his focus in defence. Rahane is primed for a failure after couple of good knocks as inconsistency has been pretty much consistent through his career path. Unless Pant shows up and puts in a 80-90 or even more I don't see we crossing 300. In order to save the match we need to hope rain play spoilsport.

On first day Bumrah's ball was travelling in almost straight line.Today there was more pace and lateral movement - the ball on which Green and Paine got out.Turn for spinners is going to increase.If India do not concede lead more than 20,it will be good reply.
