Game slowly slipping away. Great session by India.

If Auatralia cant get India at Michelle by stumps it's probably Red Rover.

It is hard to see our batting lineup chase anything over 200 on this pitch, it's a very bizarre pitch for Adelaide. Just look at kohli, SR of 25 atm, you don't see that very often at all.

Its bizarre conditions. One thing it rarely does in Adelaide in December is rain.

They are getting punished for not having the first game at fortress gabbatoir

As Brisbane resident, I agree.

Whilst Australia's record is great at the gabba, and it's still a great ground, with the new Perth Stadium and Adelaide upgrades, it has fallen to #5 ground.

I will get some tickets to the Sri Lanka test but it won't be the same

The new perth stadium is very nice, i don't know, there is just something about the gabba, usually has a nice bouncy fast pitch, it is a great welcoming gift to touring teams. I hope CA don't continue to demote it.

Sweet bye bye kohli

 

[DoggiesBoy]

Really need to get rid of Pujara, he is the glue that will hold their innings together.

Sweet bye bye kohli

Big wicket 1 more before stumps

I could listen to Isa Guha talk all day.

I like listening to Alison Mitchell as well, think she is on the 7 team now? She used to be on abc grandstand cricket coverage and bbc as well.

I like that we refuse to use a drop in pitch

Well would have been nice to grab another wicket but at least with kohli gone they go into sheds with a bit of hope, i think they would have been pretty down heading into tomorrow with india 170 in-front with their two best batsman very set at the crease.

Could take her or leave her.
She has enthusiasm

Poo-jara is their best batsman this series.
Rahane is no mug either.
If we are serious about winning this test we need to own the first session tomorrow!!

Alex Carey got 120 in shield today

Problem is if you drop Paine who becomes captain... not like anyone is lining up to take the role

Oh yeah if we don't some make serious inroads into their batting order tomorrow morning, test is over.

CA just need to stop the nonsense and appoint smith as captain as soon as he returns, which he should have already.

Smith should be captain as soon as he is allowed

 

[berries1935]

Also if smith was still there I reckon they might have dropped Paine for Carey this series..Carey is a gun, probably future captain

Geez these referrals are frustrating!
3 times given out and overturned every time.
Looks like Indians will declare just after tea, probably with a lead of close to 400.
I hope I'm wrong but we ain't bowling them out today

Looking at the forecasts in Adelaide, weather wont be a factor for next two days.

I'd have them declaring before tea.

If i was india i would be keeping the aussie bowlers out in the field toiling away as long as possible, with two full days left after today, they have enough time to bowl us out twice when we do go into bat

*edit wait a min, it's sunday today lol ... scratch that one, we will be batting today at some stage
