Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

Marsh just made a 21 ball duck!

It looks like Renshaw will have the most runs

He is just not good enough. He doesn't have his father's indomitable will. He gets out too easily.

Into the tail already at 4 for 114  :

I reckon that we need at least another 100 runs and bat for a significant time tomorrow.

I take it back, Mitch Marsh did quite well and holding out until stumps is one goal achieved.

Another hundred runs would be nice but 50-60 should give us a pretty good chance, particularly if the ball keeps low for Starc and Hazlewood.

Anyway, no-one wins in India, everyone gets a flogging. If we get close they'll just produce a dirty, dry dusty turner next Test. We will get smacked 4-0 so i'm just focused ahead on next years Ashes. We flog India the next time they are here. The result in India won't affect my judgement of the team at all. Last time we lost in India 4-0 we pumped the Poms later that year 5-0.

Glad we turned up Jim.
Still could get done but the Aussies will get a lot out of this

No one is more shocked than me..lol. I'm sure we're all a bit surprised.

Win this one then just have to sneak another and the worst you get is a drawn series. Getting a bit ahead of myself but a win here and u never know.

India changing tactics today, looking to slow the game down.

Smith dropped on 67, weird match, not sure what India are up to with Ashwin bowling off-breaks on Smith's leg stump.

This outfield is becoming faster than a bowling alley, Australia will need more runs than people think!

On queue, Marsh out!

Wade lunging at the ball, then sweeping like it's pre-determined, won't last long if he doesn't start playing each pill on it's merits.

I reckon India are effectively down to four batsmen, KL Rahul looks cooked shoulder wise. But you never know when Indians are fielding!

[crashlander]

I still have major concerns about the Marsh brothers, and, to a less extent, Wade. But I can't complain about how things have gone so far.

Still turning up. 400 in front with 4 wickets still left.
