Australia v India, 3rd Test, Perth, 13-17 January, 2012

Aus have done well to tick off 6 innings out of 8 with no SRT ton. He has looked in pretty fine touch. Yeah, the tollway will shirley see him reach the mark.

If not, maybe India will be arranging a 15 JAMODI series against Bangladesh on specially prepared roads, just to get it over and done with...

Well, D&K managed to make it to stumps somehow but it must be crushing to have to walk out tomorrow, knowing that the best you can hope for is to make Australia bat for a few overs.

Aye, definitely.

What was he wringing about?

It was only going to hit leg stump. He shouldn't be given out unless it will hit all 3 stumps

I see he hasn't scored a ton in over a year.

Aye, and it appears he believes Warner was immaculately conceived by T20 cricket. It took that mental giant Healy to inform that err he did play a shed load of grade plus come through the junior system before he ever played the ADHD stuff

Did an Injun have a sook about a dodgy lbw? Shame....

Anything that hits an Indian batsman on the pads should automatically be given out lbw until they accept the referral system in full...

Seconded.

As I predicted four down by stumps.

Surely time for some of the veterans to declare time on their careers.

Alderman is bemused by the fact that bowlers can have a bad match or two and they can get axed whereas their batting counterparts appear to be somewhat bulletproof regardless of how prolonged a form slump is.

After you failed utterly with your original prediction.

Monkeys and typewriters come to mind. Especially with one of your much vaunted smilies after the '4 down by stumps' comment.

She said Aus would get 600, they got 369 so she was basically right.

Aus and IND are both going to have selection problems after this series.

Aus: who to leave out, ...

Aye, wasn't the least Kartikeyan thing that's ever been said. A couple of wins certainly promotes some zeal!

Well I thought the conditions and state of the match were ripe for some vintage marshmallow runs but turned out to be wrong.

Certainly not surprised to see India four down though - their veterans just have to see the light and pull stumps. In Adelaide Kohli should be coming in at #3, Sharma must be included and Dravid told that it's his farewell test.

Kohli's struggling at 6 and against the new/new-ish ball, he'd be out before he could blink. Sharma for Laxman could be done and Rahane to come in to kick the openers up the backside. Ishant Sharma should be wary of his place with all the performances from fast/medium pacers in domestic cricket recently.
