[Cricket] Proper test match in Oz

[jakarta]

Well it would take a Heart of Stone wouldn't it?

shame I've not got BT Sport, watching Aus struggling would have been a lovely accompaniment to breakfast.

 

[Pudos]

Not proper cricket but New Zealand v Pakistan 20/20 also on BT, with Big Bash good coverage on there at the mo. Was looking at Sky cricket but too expensive for me

 

[Steve in Japan]

It's quite heartening to see. Blue sky, spectators, proper cricket. And a very good time of day for us to watch in the UK.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Saffer gone. Aussies in big trouble.

 

[The Wizard]

I’m amazed the Aussies have prepared a pitch that appears very ‘indian’ with the spin and bounce and low skidding seam movement. Cummins now out for a duck ��

Doesn’t look much like a typical Aussie surface

 

[Moshe Gariani]

7-111

 

[Change at Barnham]

111-7
The pink ball under lights is starting to do its stuff.
Wonderful!

 

[Moshe Gariani]

The pink ball under lights is starting to do its stuff.

But seemingly hard to catch...?

 

[The Wizard]

I know the purists won’t like it but I really like the pink ball - it’s so visible, even in day light conditions I feel like watching on TV you can really see the ball better.

 

[Gwylan]

Glad there are spectators present, with a bit of luck we may see an Aussie crying

 

[Audax]

Indians got lucky with the one that got Labuschagne keeping low, but beyond that: exactly what I feared yesterday. Openers both gone cheaply, exposing our best pair very early and India have taken advantage.

 

[mwrpoole]

Jeez India 30-8

 

[The Wizard]

Hazelwood 5-8

 

[Stumpy Tim]

India's lowest ever test innings total

 

[Simster]

Kind of ruined a great test match, didn't it

 

[Steve in Japan]

That's my morning plans scuppered.

 

[Gwylan]

That's my morning plans scuppered.

Yep, I was up at 5.30; got down in time for the innings break

That's some attack the Aussies have; if that's how the likes of Kohli and Pujara fare, what are they going to do us next winter?
