TheoG Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 6 runs from this last over... 55 required off 66 balls, 5 wickets remaining. Run-a-ball should be doable, if INDIA wanted to. Correct, "if they want to", hopefully not like the Proteas that will opt 9/10 times rather play for the draw. Vetplant 1
Vetplant Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Correct, "if they want to", hopefully not like the Proteas that will opt 9/10 times rather play for the draw.I think Dale is correct, they'l take some runs as the over tick by, and with 5 overs to go they might consider some T20 slogging to see if they can take it. 53 needed of 54 deliveries...
TheoG Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 5 wickets in hand, they really should be able to pull it off. Vetplant 1
Vetplant Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 4 from Washington!Pant to hold the fort... other batsmen to swing for the fences...? 39 needed off 7 overs.
Vetplant Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Scoop from PANT, 4 more! This is a great finish!
Vetplant Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 15 off that over from LYON. Can AUS scratch a Draw out of the fire...? 24 needed off 6 overs
Vetplant Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Correct, "if they want to", hopefully not like the Proteas that will opt 9/10 times rather play for the draw.Agreed, it is so frustrating to see how other nations can push hard for the win where we typically fluff the opportunity or just play it safe for the draw from 15 overs out.

Vetplant Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Washington bowled with only 10 more runs needed... 4 overs remaining. Not over yet...
Vetplant Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Another wicket falls... but only 3 runs needed. 3 wickets remaining. Pant still there. DRAMA!
Vetplant Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 What a way to end the Series! Well done Pant and India. Great chase! TheoG 1
l4y3rcake Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) First loss at the Gabba since 1988. What a finish to an incredible series. Edited January 19, 2021 by l4y3rcake Vetplant 1
'Dale Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Injury-stricken, battle-weary, hotel prison living for almost 5 months for many players (including the IPL) and now a win away from in Australia, who did their damnest and just was not good enough. India's depth in their game is revealed. What a fine show of Test cricket by both teams.I thought the weather gods my have an upper hand on day 5. Wow, love the long game!

Joe De Beer Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 India showed incredible depth in the squad especially on the bowling side in this test. Benefit of IPL exposure starting to show although in a different format.
Shebeen Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Injury-stricken, battle-weary, hotel prison living for almost 5 months for many players (including the IPL) and now a win away from in Australia, who did their damnest and just was not good enough. India's depth in their game is revealed. What a fine show of Test cricket by both teams.I thought the weather gods my have an upper hand on day 5. Wow, love the long game!Incredible result. Especially since they had a similar scenario in test 3 and drew. With all the players out the selectors have a great problem. Wasn't that long ago they got bowled out for 36 I thought all eyes would be on Washington tomorrow, but here they were today. That reverse sweep showed some misguided confidence! Viva test match cricket, Viva TheoG and Vetplant 2
babse Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 saw the highlights now... brilliant! upset I never watched this live. Vetplant 1
