This last session today in Adelaide looks crucial. As I write Kohli and Pujara in and India 104/2. If those two stay together for long it may make this beyond Australia. But one of them gets out soon and I suspect the lower middle order and tail will crumble rapidly.

151/3 at stumps. Lead of 166. Kohli out late in the day to leave things fairly close. India the slight favourites but I could easily see them collapsing tomorrow morning and leaving Australia a gettable score. Having said that apparently Australia haven't chased down more than 200 at Adelaide in 100 years.

BTW, I recommend the Cricket Australia highlights on You Tube, which don't seem to be geo-blocked.
Day Three is here. There are about 60 clips in total so far.

I think Ashwin is the key man. Don't think the Aussies can chase 250+ against him.Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 08-12-2018, 14:55.

Marsh goes while I’m in and out of sleep. Tough road for Australia now. They have been fighting hard but not making enough progress to assert much authority on the game.Last edited by diggedy derek; 10-12-2018, 01:25.

Winning tests away from home has never, ever been easy. I suspect there are quite a few oddly low looking numbers across the matrix of head-to-heads.
The campaign for real tests would rate this game very highly. An even contest between bat and ball, played on a pitch that was not a road but instead offered bowlers of various styles something to work with but not giving gifts. Batsmen who grafted and were patient could accumulate a score, but that was the only way - trying to cow the bowlers by attacking was counterproductive. It all resulted in an even contest with ~30 runs per wicket that concluded on day 5. Ticks almost every box.
