Oh no, the calapse is on

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Funny how the guys that cop a roasting on this site are the same guys who are doing great. Santner Conway etc
Says more about the poster than the actual player.

Um maybe because in recent years they werent doing so great? Dont think it says anything about a poster who points out someone is out of form.......when their out of form.

Hats off to them tho, especially Santner this Test, first time he's taken more than 3 wickets in an innings......bowled amazing tbh....didnt see that one coming....here's hoping it continues.

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Either way there will be a result in this Test.

Leading by 220 atm, how much do u think we would need to feel comfortable?

The potential for that Indian batting line up to finally click still scares me.......im thinking 400+?

 

[Leon Black]

To be fair Conway was awful last season by his usual standards. Santner is a polarising figure. But who saw this coming?

The Aussies haven’t won in India since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon… possibly wrong couldn’t be bothered to Google it.

Worst moment of the series, Indian commentator trying to mimic Richie Benauds, 222 (chew, chew, chew).

And just like that Mitchell throws his wicket away

 

[Leon Black]

WTF Blundell 1st ball? He and Phillips are the keys to victory

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Jesus Blundell reverse sweep first ball?

Even in Business House id get roasted for that

 

[Funky Ed Koosie]

Latham playing like he's brought up in the sub continent

 

[Funky Ed Koosie]

Watching the pitch now, we probably need 400 it's just gone docile

 

[mrblonde]

350 should be enough.
But, frankly, if the goal is "Win A Series In India", we could just bat as long as India let us.
Working on the basis that making the WTC is out of the question, whatever happens, obviously...

I'm thinking there is enough there for the spinners if they bowl well. Turn, some variable low bounce.

 

[Inruin]

Lead of 300 with 5 wickets in hand. You would think it's up to Philips and Blundell to do the bulk of any scoring from here

Showed too in their dropped lips when they took the field. They thought the spin friendly pitch was their kryptonite against us, but we’ve turned up with some handy spin bowlers ourselves

Feels a bit like Aussie when teams turn up there with quick bowlers and beat them at their own game

Shhh. Let's not even hope to count chickens. If any team is capable of scoring 300 in a 4th innings it is India.

Ajaz, O'Rourke and Southee do not look like a threat on this pitch, though I'm hoping Ajaz has a better 2nd innings.

Yeah they've both been awful. I've definitely bagged Santner before, but with good reason. However......ahem.....I'm definitely wrong here!

Guilty of this with Latham in the past but was super impressed last night watching him
