Australia Tour of India 2013 |Feb-Mar|

[Lord]

Perhaps you are referring to that one hour when we scored nothing. Not sure how much of a difference it would have been as England never looked lke getting out on that day 4 and 5 wicket. We were 50-4 when we batted and one wicket away from a collapse and a 3-1 loss.

Arrey ofcourse we did well after 50-4 by tons from Dhoni n Kohli.but should have looked for a win after that. I'm indeed talking about that one hour.in hindsight it wouldnt have made a difference,but the approach was pathetic.wen needed to take the chance.

[Sidhoni]

what?we were in a position to force the win on 4th day which we absolutely needed.but some strange tactics meant we couldnt

If not for that partnership between Kohli and Dhoni, we would have lost that match.

[Sidhoni]

Dhoni needs to come in if Dhawan falls' date=' its a must.[/quote'] Yeah! Need a 70 ball 100 from him. :D

[Lord]

If not for that partnership between Kohli and Dhoni' date=' we would have lost that match.[/quote'] I never denied that

[Lord]

Yeah! Need a 70 ball 100 from him. :D

VJ needs to pick it up as wel.we need to attack from both ends now

[SLICKR392]

Exactly.80 from 181 is pretty slow..but he should make it up for it tomorrow.

[GoldenSun]

Yes, Vijay has to attack and take the burden off Dhawan tomorrow. If India still wants to win this test match, they have to accelerate and save time to have a crack at the Aussies by 3rd session.

[Needforspeed]

India should bat full day tomorrow (if possible) and give Aussies 90 overs on the last day. There is no need to give the Aussies even a whiff of a chance. Having said that, we have seen our batting collapse so many times after a long partnership. The last test itself was an example. So not sure if all these declaration scenarios will take place. We are still 125 runs behind the Aussies.

After tea - let the Aussies face 1 hour.

[saneindian]

A reminder from the 2nd test, we were 387/1 with a lead of 150. Lost our last 9 wickets in next 34 overs for 116 runs in search of quick runs.

[I6MTW]

we need onslaught from vijay, pujara, SRT, ,Kohili,Dhoni, jadeja, ashwin, and kumar, if want to win this match.

that would be a very defensive strategy aimed at a certain draw. We are 2-0 up in the series and we have two well set batsmen at the crease so there's no harm in taking a few risks and batting aggressively and giving Aus around 20-25 overs tomorrow.

[GoldenSun]

Everyone has to perform. The last thing we need is a rehash of the batting collapse at Hyderabad.

Will Kohli be allowed to bat at 4 tomorrow? :winky:

[Sachin=GOD]

Will Kohli be allowed to bat at 4 tomorrow? :winky:

no need to change the batting order.

[SLICKR392]

1st Session, we need to start of aggressively and take the lead. Look to get 100+ and declare after Tea and give them 20-25 overs.

[SLICKR392]

no need to change the batting order.

If Dhawan falls before Vijay, only if he falls before Vijay, then Dhoni needs to come out.
