Trichromatic Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I guess pressure will be on Australia to score quick runs and force results. For Indian bowling strategy can be to dry up runs and slow down proceedings. Wickets might come along with that as pressure builds up. Frustrated, test fan, AuxiliA and 2 others 5 Link to comment
Stutter Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I was thinking about this as well. Especially if Warner goes slam bang in the morning, we will have to shut the game down by a 2-7 or 1-8 field and get Natarajan to bowl the lines he did during most of his first over. Besides Sundar from the other end would likely put similar pressure. If there are only RHB, then a consistent (we can only hope!) Shardul, bowling to packed offside field, will be more than a handful, alongside Siraj/Saini. Tough day ahead, but it's best to start aggressively and attempt to get wickets. With Australia looking to score quickly and potentially under-rating the Indian attack, we can pull off a repeat of Adelaide 2003. Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Getting Warner out sooner is crucial.. Other than him I don't see anyone scoring too quickly against our guys. If we get 2-3 sooner.. Aussies will panic. Link to comment
nitinbwj Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Yes and get Warner out. We don’t want a 70-80 ball 100 in the first session ., Link to comment
kubrickian Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Need to bowl on stumps as much as possible. On 4th day, there will be some deterioration, so bounce and pace wont be consistent. Link to comment

It will deny Warner the easy pickings off of the medium pacers and also there's the off spinner vs left hander angle. Edited January 17, 2021 by nevada Link to comment

Serpico Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 1 hour ago, test fan said: Tomorrow chance of entire day washout where did you see that? most weather sites are predicting 2 hours of thunder storm with cloud cover through out the day. At most one session will be washed out like yesterday. I think draw is secured for now.. so I don't want entire day washed out. Let there be a couple of sessions game to see how they are going to play. Will australia dare to play fast to force a result? at which point will they feel comfortable enough to declare? lots of interesting phases of game to come Nikola 1 Link to comment

Will australia dare to play fast to force a result? at which point will they feel comfortable enough to declare? lots of interesting phases of game to come Two hours of thunderstorm is enough to wash out close to two sessions. ICC is very strict nowadays about wet outfield. Just pray the rain starts after lunch to screw Australia. I heard day 5 is also looking bad in terms of weather. If all holds true my best guess is 120 overs to be played. Aus will play 50 overs.. play it slow till they have a lead of 200 and then next 10-15 overs go slam bang and give india 75-85 overs to score 280 odd Edited January 17, 2021 by neel roy Link to comment
Number Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Doubt Aussies will think that it will rain on day 5 so 250 is safe. What if it doesn't and India get full 100 overs to score 250. Link to comment

Trichromatic Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 I guess bowlers saw couple of edges and are desperate to produce wicket taking one. Lack of experience showing up. Instead of trying to keep it tight and let batsman make a mistake, they are bowling 2-3 poor deliveries each over on day 4 morning. Link to comment
