One-way traffic in India. Maybe something will spark in pak vs aus, at least aus are batting at a good rate.

That pitch is dead as a dodo...first test back and it might as well be an ODI pitch.

IND 574/8
SL 174 & 178

India won by an innings and 222 runs

Damn, Jaddu misses out on 200 and misses out on 10 wickets.

Either pak were banking on an aus collapse(and winning the toss)or they too scared to lose the first test.

Can't rule out a collapse from either of them, I guess. Just don't think the pitch has enough for the bowlers to put pressure on.

Would be nice if Pakistan could win their first series at home in yonks.

Do you mean vs AUS? Since they beat us last year.

Yeah, vs Aus. Or any of the big 3.

When the big boys lose to smaller teams, it's good for cricket though tbh, they're all a bit shaky especially England and India.

This AUS and PAK game is soooo boring...

Yeah lol. They should just declare it a draw and save themselves some time and energy and not play the fifth day.

 

[RunningFromFat]

I think australia batsmen should carry on batting and statpad their averages as well as tiring out afridi.

 

[Dan C]

batting paradise ... PAK should declare NOW !! (or when Imam gets his 100)

[Agent_Smith]

Is the second test at the same venue? Hopefully they prepare a better pitch than the highway they just played on.

 

[Heisenborg]

14 wickets in 4 days lmao

 

[3WA]

So absurd to get 250+ ahead and not even give yourself a session and a half to bowl just to see what happens.

Can the fielding side declare if they have had enough?

Can the fielding side declare if they have had enough?

A question I always ask myself when we tour the subcontinent.

 

[Creag]

Can the fielding side declare if they have had enough?

They can. Yes. Definitely. But subcontinent sides very seldom get to that point. Pity.

 

[Pegging]

England 17 / 2 already.

Root may as well open.
