I know we like to castigate Indian batting and usually it's awful overseas.

But there are some things Pakistani cricket team can learn from the batsmen.

Indians have batted not too fast not too slow. They have motored along at 3.4-3.5 runs per over all the time. They have never shown intent to chase the target and not shown intent to defend either.

So Australians don't know if to attack or defend.

More importantly, by virtue of playing this way, they've put themselves in a position, where they will have 15 overs and 90 odd runs to win or perhaps even less.

At least they are deciding their own fate. Draw if it's hard, or go for the win.

Pakistan would have batted at 2 an over, taking win out of the equation very early on. Then they would have suffered a quick loss of wickets.

At the end of the day , they would have been battling for survival because of negative cricket.

I wish our players would watch and learn.
 
Excellent stuff from Kohli. These rubbish biased aussie commentators starting to cry now.
 
Rohit goes. The lion strikes. Super bowling. Top notch.
 
See that's the problem with going for the win.

If Rohit isn't clueless, Kohli can hope.

Now what?

Rohit is out.
 
Just watch the two play spin . Virat is watching the ball till the last second & he picks them well too . Rohit is either swinging wildly or using is pads , cos he simply does not watch/pick .

Today he isn't playing well. No question.

Anyways got out.

Idiot.
 
Fascinating cricket here. Now Aus is firm favorite due to long tail of India. Just one wicket.
 
What will kohli do... I want him to still go for the win. If we loose this from here ill still take it.
 
Whattay game of Test cricket. Now this is proper cricket!
 
Pathetic innings of talunt comes to an end. The only other player who could have soaked uo the pressure was Rahane.
 
We're only 80-odd runs out. Go for it, nevermind if we lose.
 
Saha already looks miles better than Rohit even though he just played 2 balls.

Rather have ashwin over rohit
 
Best I've seen Lyon bowl. Top class stuff. And some ppl were saying off-spin is gonna die out? Ummmm Nope!
 
Kohli gotta just go for it. These other guys will not last. If we go for it and lose than so be it but no need to play for a draw with these hacks coming up.
