236 is the highest total ever chased at Gabba and that happened in early 1950s but here Tim Paiine is ahead bh 260 and isn't declaring.

He knows very well if a player like Pants spends one session out there, he will make that kind of a total very easy for his colleagues to chase down.

Just an added advantage with such players in the team.
 
Paine won't declare even with 300. He will declare after they go past 330 or will get bowled out.

I think Australia and Time Paine are scared of Pants :inti

Do you think if it was India batting they would declare with less than 350 runs?.
 
There is Rohit Sharma as well. Last test we could have gone for the win if not for the injuries to Jadeja and Vihari
 
I don't think so, Paine would've done the same against any other test team except maybe Pakistan. Every Captain has a different doctrine and way of going about things.

In our home - definitely. Ashwin and Jadeja would bundle you out easy.
 
I guess you are hinting that the Indian batsmen are not as good as the Australians think they are.

Most of them are kids or on debut. Even Rohit Sharma doesnt belong in our first XI. There are kids debuting this match. Aussies had enough long back, they played till they were all out only because of fear

Then you should have no problem chasing down this total, congratulations on the great win.

Of course. Even as Indian fan, I will admit that I will be skeptical if this team could chase anything over 250 in 4th innings.

Aussies should have declared at around 275 ahead.. there are big cracks on this pitch they could easily have got 15-20 overs and who knows.. a couple of wickets.

Have never seen any Aussie team at home so scared. Usually they bully oppositions to scores of 589.
 
Totally wasted 2 hours of cricket and an opportunity to to take 3-4 Indian wickets this evening.

Pant factor supporting India big time here.

What an addition this guy is.
 
People here are discounting Rohit, just like they discounted Pandya, Pant, Ashwin, Jadeja, Shardul earlier. There are dozens of threads on them here itself.

But if anyone can win the match for India, it’s the Beast, not Pant. Rohit may not do well in 4 matches one after another making every Indian tear their hair out and every Pak fan getting vicarious orgasms on his failure, but he gets unleashed once in while to make magic happen. You need the Beast for exactly that purpose.
