I found an online stream of ABC in the end and fell asleep to it, not helped by their jingles.
Maybe all the gridiron had finished by then though or there was a gap between games, I'd been watching Packers v Rams before the cricket started.
I know Australia v India gets shunted off R5LSX to the BBC Sports website when the coverage of England v Sri Lanka starts so presume they have it there for the full day's play too.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 17-01-2021, 13:12.

This Australia India series is brilliant. Down to the last day of the last match with any outcome possible (well assuming the rain doesn't stop now and there is a dramatic end to today's play). Australia must be strong favourites still, but this India team, without Kohli and without all the injured players, have performed spectacularly well. A tie would seem the perfect outcome, but I'd take a draw.

Congratulations to England. Is it just me or did the TMS team rather overstate the likelihood of England not winning? That was never realistic at any point after Day 2
Meanwhile Down Under tonight could be lively
So, what's the difference between Qantas and Tim Paine?

I had the same thought. When it rains in Brisbane it really rains. But at the same time, the drainage is set up for that and the systems seem to be in place for the outfield to dry out remarkably quickly. If there was just one storm come through fairly quickly I can see them getting play back on in an hour

I was shocked to see Warner doing an on-pitch interview during the drinks break in the play overnight. I've never seen that before, has it come in via the Big Bash?
It seemed a peculiar thing to do as it was directly after Harris lost his wicket and the questionable wisdom in breaking one's concentration in such a way was illustrated when Warner himself was out two or three balls after resuming

4 runs an over needed for India. 9 wickets for Australia. 56 overs left in the day. Forecast suggests not much rain. I don't know if India are going to go for it or not, but if they get halfway through this session with still only one down, I think they might give the Australians a scare.

Even if Australia does win it is an incredible effort by India - eight players out of what would probably have been their first XI.Last edited by Uncle Ethan; 19-01-2021, 07:03.

Saw a comment somewhere (either in the Guardian OBO or Cricinfo's commentary) wondering about Paine's captaincy and whether he will survive after this series, whatever the result. Australia would probably supply 5 players to a current World XI, and yet they're struggling to beat the Indian third XI (that latter comment may be a but exaggerated, but I can kind of see what is meant)
