Oh yeah? Which poster?

Cummins gets Jadeja pulling to square leg, Marsh takes it down low. Not a convincing stroke by any means, he never got over the top of it. India 9/213.

India play the MCG wellā€¦far better than any other ground in Oz.

Iā€™ve had enough of you!

Grrrr.

1682

Why didnā€™t Jadeja take a single and retain strike!?

1683

In the past maybe, but the MCG wicket actually has life in it now. India canā€™t bat on wickets that do a bit.

Elementary now.

Would we enforce the follow-on?

1688

We have to, it is the only chance we have to push for the win.

Of courseā€¦

We have been very conservative about follow-ons sinceā€¦India lol
I just wonder if we would.

1691

Probably going to be rained out for a fair portion, itā€™s our only shot. Might be difficult without Hazlewood though.

Would be a massive call to declare 0/0.
And the way these guys are batting it wonā€™t be a consideration.

1693

No idea why Jadeja isnā€™t just about first selected for Indiaā€™s test side. Completely transforms their middle order.

Yeah this situation is a no brainer for follow on.

Yeah I would as well. But we are essentially two bowlers down in Hazlewood and Marsh and Cummins may want to give them a break from it? Who knows.
