Can India win this one ?

[philcric]

Looks almost impossible.

 

Pitch's difficult for batsmen but India's 1st innings score has more to do with a sudden collapse before the team could even react. Happens sometimes. During these kind of collapses, everything than can go wrong usually does (unlucky dismissals, good catches by opposition, run outs etc.).

 

I believe we still have a chance (about 20%) to win this. Extremely difficult but possible. Need to get Aus out for about 150 for a target of about 300. Need to play with controlled aggression in the 4th innings. Rahul and Kohli will be the keys.

Depends a lot on the trio of Kohli, Pujara and Vijay.  We will need one or two of them to bat out of their skins.

 

Rahul will throw his wicket away and the rest cannot play spin.

[Sachinism]

Will require a historic performance.

It will require 2 herculean performances as the team won't do it with small contributions from all

[ShebbySB]

No we can't.....expected to get them 80 odd all out in the 2nd inningsbut 95-3 now.

Lead will be around 350 I guess.That's not chaseable here.

[philcric]

So many dropped catches.

 

95/3. Looks out of reach now. Should have been 5 down before 100.

 

[Austin 3:!6]

No. You need a VVS and Dravid to win a test match from this situation. But we got brain-farts like Rahul and 'cant play spin' Rahane.

[Sidhoni]

They are 260/3 effectively, target for us will be in excess of 350 and we'll do well to lose by less than 100 runs.

[Cricketics]

We can, let's do this. 

[kira]

Runs can be scored if the batsmen get in but chasing 300+ seems impossible

As an Indian I hope they pull off the impossible.

But practically speaking the match is as good as gone!

[Temujin Khaghan]

way too many people crying over India... let this defeat assuage their heart-burn temporarily at least 

[Sandeep99]

NO but we can salvage some confidence if we play well in the second innings..

[rkt.india]

We will win it if target is anywhere around 350. Demons are in the mind, not the pitch.

350, there's a chance...400, probably too much.

300 is already there. Australia will probably score at least 100 from here on.

[flat_wicket_bully]

We can only hope from here that every batsman be it top, middle or lower order will have to play out of their skin to even get anywhere near that target. Miracles sometimes do happen and it could happen in this match

[Yoda-esque]

No

If Australia can score 100 from here then there is no reason as to why India can't score 400+, look at their batting lineup, wade marsh starc Seriously how are these hacks scoring against our spinners on a minefield where we can't even play o keefe

[tweaker]

We will need a big partnership from Pujara & Vijay to win this.

 

Pujara  is the key in the 2nd inning
