Interesting 2nd test... India having a target of 287 in 4th inning. Start is not good as they are 0/1.
Intersting thing is all 2nd innings wickets of Aussies went to Indian pacers . Spinners took zero. While N lyon for aussies took 5 indian wickets who are supposed to play well against spinners. N lyon is not a murali. But still he does good against both indai nad PK
Yes very interesting phase of the match now. I thought @Southie would open a thread but his sublets of threads are hard to decipher.
India has never chased a target of 200 in last 5 years. Can they do it now? Its not impossible
India 9 down. Funny how Indian tail is trying to leave the wicket and hit big shots. A sign of resignation.
Thats it folks. Aussies won. I dont think the target was tough but Indian top ordered made it tougher on themselves.
Credit goes to Australian bowlers. Nathan Leon well deserved MoM.
Now in both tests its noticeable that the team who only once scored 300+ eventually won the match. They need to do better than that :)
So at the end kohli is also feeling some heat of test crikcet. BTW he is giving the same dose of sledging to aussies that they themself were used to give to otehrs.
Good victory for Aussies. I think this win is solely due to the steep bounce . This also helpd lyon to get wickets.
OVer all stilll i beleive indian team is better than aussies. They have chance to win the series
Comprehensive win. On to the next test.
They r saying that MCG pitch will be change and will have much wear tear compare to earlier slow batting pitches. So that a good balance of bat vs ball is provided. LEts see . If it is much like perth , it will not be easy win or infact a not a sure win for india.
