What everyone thoughts on team, pitch , weather and results.
Both decent bowling units so expect results in this one. Hard to call who for.

Unlucky wicket and a jucel wicket at that.

If Finchy had used his brain, India would be 1.6+ right now

Marsh probably playing with international career on line
Haven't been watching... Is there any rough for the left handers? Softer ball and Ashwin not as effective, these guys could build a big partnership

I have not been watching either, only listening (5LiveXtra) but I heard Ed Cowan talking about how there will not be excessive spin for Ashwin.
It isn't doing a whole lot. A decent should be able to chase this without too much drama... Australia is the problem here, not India. IMO
Even so, it's amusing that people were backing Aus at under 4s to achieve something that has never been done here before.
Yeah. Khawaja playing some stupid shots. If Marsh gets more than 10 he avergaes 60...

You said it!
Grinds it out for 2 days in the UAE, and then completely throws it away here

Never been done before is a little silly though. How many games have been played under these circumstances here?
For one, it is now a drop in pitch. Been a couple of games on it.
But there has been plenty of 4th innings here where more than 323 was scored.
What were the commies on about then? This is when you appreciate TMS had with their proper stats man.
At least I'm in profit on this game. I can't believe I sold off my draw green at 25 in the Pak/NZ game - all three outcomes traded at 50+ yet I had to take a small loss in the end.
I got lucky on one of the Mzansi games though - I'd left up a 1.01 which got matched after which the game flipped whilst I wasn't paying attention, so I didn't trade out of any of it! Only noticed today when I checked my P & L!

Stats man would have suggested no team has won chasing 320+ here.
But teams have scored more than that and not won here in the last innings. Also plenty of chasing teams won here, scored say 3/182 to win.
Point being, unless you have thousands of results, you will rarely have a big sample size of teams chasing ¬320, with 120+ overs to do so. Difference between no team has ever scored 320 in the final innings here, to no team has won chasing that score. That was all.
3/328 was scored here for a draw for example. 5/335 draw. 445 lost.
Last game here, sheffield shield, highest score final innings, 5/316.
Biggest successful chase to win here, I believe was 5/315.

Ah I see your point - it's like when games end in a draw with wickets in hand and you know that well more could have been scored if time had allowed, or a smaller target was easily reached suggesting a higher target would also have been easily exceeded.
Generally though, these "high target with plenty of time left" situations often seem to trade way too short as if priced for perfection from the openers. And then an early wicket falls and ruins the hope nearly every time.

Off topic, but does anyone have an audio clip of Bumble's commentary from when Harmison bowled that famously ridiculous first-ball wide?
I just remember Mark Nicholas recounting that Bumble had said sarcastically in his broad northern accent "Normally, when the ball goes to second slip, the bat's involved". Not sure if it had been said on air though.

Have lost a bit of ground laying India but still in good shape, Windies are gonnae flip that 1 dayer v Bangers but I'm too tired to trade that.
Lies, damned lies and statistics!
The pitch is dry underneath but well grassed and it is holding it together. The ball has been spinning out of Mitchell Starcs foot holes where his spikes have ripped out the grass. They are not on the half volley but a good length and perfect for an off spinner to a right hander wide of off stump and perfect to angle in from wide of the crease.
The history of scores on drop in pitches here do not necessarily reflect the nature of this pitch. This is a particularly awful Aussie batting line up. Their bowlers dud not fake advantage of the new ball and they will pay the price for letting India post a target in excess of 250. It was game over for me after the new ball lost it's shine day 3 and Lyon did not fake full advantage of the rough.
Aus could have been right in this game but fceked it up imho. India did not have any of the bad luck they had in England but should consider themselves a little lucky to be in a winning situation.

Aussies will get closer than people think on this surface

Possible but already 4 down and with Paine’s limited merits not including much actual run scoring, a humping seems more likely.

Behave FS Paine has done well with bat, and he was a hero in Dubai a few weeks ago.
After a long period of dot balls a single deserves a post.

Kane & Henry Nicholls delivered a sensational partnership a few days ago, something as 1/2 as good from these 2 might deliver a flip.
Bugger me look at the draw!

Gone from remote to virtually impossible, if it wasn't already that.

Target below 200......now we need the constant drip drip drip of runs to get this mrket moving again.

Marsh coming off 163 not out, in Adelaide, a few weeks ago, in the 4th innings, 5 out of his last 8 innings (prior to this game) 80 plus.
Different conditions, but even though Marsh was the first Australian in over 130 years to score less than 10 in 6 consecutive innings in test matches, has been in very good form inbetween.
Pitch looks good, only need one player to dominate.
Unlikely to win, but game well on.

Marshy has performed under pressure before, if he failed here he was gone for good.

Yes he likes Adelaide day/nighter v NZ on this ground, Aus were tottering 2nd dig Marshy delivered..
Meanwhile, after 4 days of red, I am nearly green......... 
India have already been matched at 1.01 so the current 1.11 represents a nice drift.
Whatever happens there was no demons on this 5th day pitch.
I keep thinking GSM but this might be conclusively GSM!
Unlikely but if these 2 get the runs required below 20 I will need some thai insurance.
This has been a very good trading game but still below 50 Mill matched.
Oh my! the emotional toll of India not winning this would be shattering for them.
Had to take it at 1.03 too throwing money away
throwing money away
That was like Test matches of yore, before T20 messed everything up.
Did anyone keep a tab of how many times Aus went from 20+ to below 10s? More than four, I think.
Still unable to wwrite regulRLY here cozof the shetty forum. Ended up making easy 300 on this. Missed the action later in the game though
