India's tour of Australia 2014-15

[balajik]

Australia 238/2 (50.0 ov)
India
Australia won the toss and elected to bat

Here we go again...the hammering has started. :-(

India avoids follow-on. Score now 322/4 against Aus 517/7 (dec).
Match result most likely "Draw".

yeaaaa we avoided follow on

SVK bro not so fast mate .. this is aussie anything can happen .. if they bowl india out 1st session tomorrow and get a lead of around 80-100 they can bat 2-3 sessions and still win on last day .. basically they can bowl us in 2 sessions also on the last day ..

Kohli gone with India still 150 behind. Aussies do have the upper hand. It will all come down to how quickly they can score and declare. 350 in 80+ covers u suspect could be then target they set.

 

[SVK]

@gaurang08 you are right. But this seem to be batting pitch and should last same till last days. Besides Indian batsman seem to be in good form except Dhawan unlike England tour. Hopefully they would not throw/lose wickets in 2nd innings as well...

 

[gaurang08]

Haha SVK bro my predictions coming true only difference being now India might have to face around 100 overs which is more than enough to bowl us out .. Aus wont require more than 60-65 imho .. Kohli should be kicking himself for throwing his wicket so close to end of day .. Today he and Rohit could have taken India close to 500 and made things more even .. Its just downhill from here . Looks like Dhoni and Ashwin are all set to make a comeback for the 2nd test ..

Aus should just make another 100 in next 15 overs and declare .. A target of 330 is more than enough .. In 15 overs today they can try to rattle top 3 of India .. and finish this by lunch tomorrow ..

 

[SVK]

Aussie's scoring rate is key for their win this test. They have scored at good rate of 4 RPO, and if they score with same rate or more, they would have enough time to let India bat.

 

[SVK]

Defensive move by Australia? They have lead of 363, yet they did not declare today. They could have ask India to bat for last 10-15 overs. Most probably they may ask India to bat tomorrow morning like 1st inning.

phsycholigically india have to play out 1 day now. Given the hype of indian batting they should do it easily.
