Australia v India | 3rd Test | December 26-30, 2014 | MCG

[90MPH]

Great catch but dreadful shot by Pujara.

Thats how tailenders should get out.

 

[Anchorman]

Poor stuff by Pujara tbh. Very disappointing.

 

[Anchorman]

The shame is everybody expected him to get out early too with the way he was playing yesterday.

 

[Batman]

2/108.

What a start for Australia.

 

[Firebreaker]

Pujara has to be most overrated Indian cricketer,Kedar Jadhav is better than him

 

[Anchorman]

Virat with a cracking cover drive.

 

[pakistani pride]

Great batting wicket.
India needs to look to score 300 today.
Its possible as this is a very flat wicket.

 

[Batman]

2/118.

Shot by Kohli.

 

[London_Lahori]

Kohli with some beautiful shots already.

 

[Anchorman]

I reckon if these two can't put up a partnership of a 100 then the match will be over by tomorrow.

 

[Anchorman]

Brilliant straight-drive from Kohli.

 

[Batman]

2/123.

Again what a shot by Kohli.

 

[Anchorman]

Vijay plays with very loose hands which is why most of his edges fall short.

 

[Anchorman]

That Pujara dimissal looks worse each time.

 

[Batman]

2/128.

Good little comeback by India after an early wicket.

 

[Batman_DB]

pujara aint no dravid overrated wall

 

[Anchorman]

Hayden with some hilarious commentary.

 

[Batman_DB]

some really good strokes by virat

 

[Anchorman]

Geez, Kohli has played some spectacular shots today.

 

[Batman]

2/136.

Yet another shot. Kohli again.

 

[Anchorman]

Cracking bouncer by Mitch. Rattles Vijay's helmet.

 

[Anchorman]

This first half-hour has been brilliant. Some class bowling and beautiful batting.

 

[Anchorman]

That ball hit Vijay in nearly the same spot it hit Hughes.

 

[MarkCooper]

We showed the world how to get Kohli out and the Aussies have messed it up and got him back in form.

 

[Anchorman]

Classic cover-drive by Vijay.

 

[Batman_DB]

We showed the world how to get Kohli out and the Aussies have messed it up and got him back in form.

just like india helped cook to keep his test captaincy by giving away the series lol

 

[Batman]

2/142.

Shot. Four to Vijay.

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

This Pujara guy is a garbage FTB

 

[Anchorman]

Some severe jinxing of Kohli going on in the com box.

 

[Anchorman]

This Pujara guy is a garbage FTB

Did you see his dismissal? Shocking shot from someone who is lauded for his temperament.

 

[Snow]

Pujara is being too careful, he gets into his shell at times. Which causes him to build up pressure on him and lose his wicket. Time is running out for him.

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Did you see his dismissal? Shocking shot from someone who is lauded for his temperament.

He is a FTB. Not hard to score on pitches where Jadeja has 3 triple centuries in domestic and Rohit Sharma has scored 2 double hundreds. This Pujara guy flopped for Derbyshire if I recall correctly. Typical FTB

 

[London_Lahori]

Vijay goes the same way as Pujara

 

[Anchorman]

Vijay out in the same fashion as Pujara.

 

[Romali_rotti]

India to be all out for 280....

 

[Batman]

3/147.

Watson provides the breakthrough for Australia.

 

[Batman_DB]

can india avoid follow on only this partnership can save india

 

[Anchorman]

Rahane is due a big score. Vijay and Kohli have both scored centuries in this series and Rahane needs to convert his starts.

 

[Anchorman]

Lyon coming on.

 

[Anchorman]

Rahane showing both his sides in that over. Looked completely comfortable as usual and knocked 10 runs off the over yet had a lapse in concentration and edged one. Lucky to survive.

 

[Anchorman]

Rahane has raced off to 24 from just 13 balls. Let's hope he doesn't throw this away!

 

[Batman_DB]

rahane is look set for a big score

 

[desi_launda]

Rahane strike rate 171 playing like McCullum

 

[London_Lahori]

Liking the attacking intent here, though I want someone to get out so I can watch the debutant for a bit.

 

[Batman_DB]

virat shouldn't waste this start time to make up for that cheap dismissal in the 2nd test

 

[Anchorman]

How many minutes till lunch?

 

[desi_launda]

How many minutes till lunch?

20

 

[Anchorman]

Virat gets his 50.

 

[desi_launda]

for kohli

 

[Anchorman]

Averaging 65 in this series so far.

 

[Junaids]

I hate these high-scoring draws on pitches with no lateral movement.

They are the equivalent of a bad 0-0 draw in football.

 

[Sandeep]

I hate these high-scoring draws on pitches with no lateral movement.

They are the equivalent of a bad 0-0 draw in football.

Don't worry. India Will Still lose this

 

[Anchorman]

Lunch. 224/3.

 

[Swanny]

I hate these high-scoring draws on pitches with no lateral movement.

They are the equivalent of a bad 0-0 draw in football.

Draws ?

 

[desi_launda]

India could still collapse to 400 all out.Good score but not enough to be safe

 

[Batman_DB]

rahane vijay and kohli looks settle for a big run in the team pujara really needs to improve no use scoring runs in those flat indian deck if u don't play big innings overseas dhawan needs to go time to groom new opener

 

[mithun_minhas]

If india can score over 400, this will make a very interesting Day-5.

 

[Swanny]

India could still collapse to 400 all out.Good score but not enough to be safe

I dont know mate let us first avoid the follow on

 

[Batman_DB]

the pitch seems to be good for batting vijay and pujara missed out on big scores

 

[Anchorman]

Motoring along nicely.

 

[Anchorman]

I reckon the new ball will get at least one of these two.

 

[Sandeep]

I reckon the new ball will get at least one of these two.

Agreed. . We have no batsmen left after this.. so expect 350 odd collapse

 

[Batman_DB]

virat can throw this away from here time to make a big one

 

[Sandeep]

Demon Harris will be back with a new cherry in hand

 

[Batman_DB]

virat should follow smith how he converted a start to a huge score

 

[Sandeep]

virat should follow smith how he converted a start to a huge score

Doesn't have the same maturity

 

[Batman_DB]

if virat can see of the new ball he should get a 150 here don't know about rahane he tends to play loose shots and can easily give away his wicket

 

[Batman_DB]

Doesn't have the same maturity

time to show maturity time to get those 150s sachin used to have the same problems he never used to make those big 100s

 

[Sandeep]

Virat kohli is no sachin. No comparison

 

[Batman_DB]

Virat kohli is no sachin. No comparison

thats the next india have right now he needs to get those big scores which gives india chance to draw some matches overseas coz india bowling will always be hopeless

 

[Sandeep]

Expecting 2 wickets in the next 10 overs

 

[Anchorman]

Johson and Virat going at it.

 

[Batman_DB]

virat looking unsettled losing his cool just before his 100 he cant get carried away

 

[Jabo]

Some words

After that throw by Johnson

 

[Batman_DB]

virat needs really angry he might give away here

 

[Sandeep]

I hope this bs from Johnson increases kohli 's rage

 

[Suleiman]

Been looking forward to a confrontation between Johnson and Kohli. 2 hotheads on the cricket field going at it, good stuff.

 

[Junaids]

This is desperate stuff.

Had to watch 20 minutes of the Australia v India batting borefest because it was Tea in New Zealand v Sri Lanka. I really wish that I had chosen a more entertaining option, like watching paint dry or pulling out my own fingernails.

So far after almost three days this apology for a Test match has a scoreline of:

813 runs for 13 wickets in 225 overs.

Even India can't lose on this pathetic surface.

When the balance between bat and ball is so totally in favour of the batting side that Ryan Harris scores 74 you know that the pitch has taken the "Test" out of Test cricket.

Disgraceful.

 

[Batman_DB]

lucky virat

Thank you sir. Now if you can move back to your match, we can watch ours in peace
