Australia vs India | 2nd Test | Perth | Dec 14-18, 2018 | Day 1 Thread

[Romali_rotti]

Indians are 2 wickets short and given away 50 runs too many at end of play. Australia's tail will wagg, they will get 350 and the Indians could be in a lot of trouble..

 

[Swashbuckler]

Australia firmly in driver's seat, now our batsmen have to do what they haven't done all year, get a 400+ score overseas. Our max limit in a 4th innings chase in these conditions against this Aussie bowling unit is 150, big trouble !!!!

If we can pluck out 2 more before stumps, the day will be ours.

My prediction is

Aus All out 315.
India All out 257.

Aus All out 189.
Target 248,
India All out 207

Aus to win by 40 runs.

 

[Buffet]

Another 50-60 runs and Aus will seal this game.

 

[Bilal7]

Another 50-60 runs and Aus will seal this game.

No game is sealed with a single innings. If Pujara gets another hundred, India can win this game. Let's not forget that Australia arguably has the weakest batting lineup out of the top eight teams.

 

[Canford Cliffs]

India would do well here to NOT lose by an innings.

 

[Mahee]

India can forget about this match

Indian batting is not really great as well and Aus bowlers are likely to bowl a much better here. Pitch suits Aus pacers.

Sure, anyone can play a blinder and bring India back, but Aus putting runs will make it very hard.
