Australia v. India. Test series.

[Donny]

Oh dear. Burns failed to score, again.

OA 1/31. Harris 17*, Maddinson 13*.

[Donny]

5/56. Shami 3/35. Harris scored 26.

[Donny]

The plot thickens.

Another duck for the hapless Joe Burns.

Marcus Harris could've cemented an opener's spot but at least his 47 ball 26 keeps him under notice.

Will Pucovski is unlikely to play after copping another concussion.

Cam Green also hit on the head, whilst bowling, attempting a caught & bowled.

Smithy, Wade and Labu should just not play ANY cricket, before the Test.

Cant take a trick the Aussies. To many key players are out of form or injured. Now add Cam Green and Will Pski in there too.
Im telling you i feel india are getting on a roll in their tour of Australia and i feel its maybe a battle to win for the Aussies.
Aussies are out of sorts currently.

[Donny]

Will Pucovski ruled out of the first Test.

Marcus Harris replaces him, in the squad.

[Donny]

Steketee subbed in for Conway. Takes the early wicket.

However, he was seen to be walking off the field, shortly after.

India 1/56. Gill 38*. They lead by 140 odd.

[Donny]

1/77.

Gill 51*, Agarwal 18*.

[Donny]

Gill out for 65, to Swepson.

2/111.

[Donny]

2/149. Agarwal 60*.

[Donny]

3/233. Hanuma Vihari 60*.

[Donny]

All sorts of chat around who will be in the Test XI, for Adelaide.

Sean Marsh even being mentioned as possible opener with Harris, or first drop, with Labu opening.

Wade to partner Harris, another possibility.

#6 could be anyone - esp. if Green is ruled out. Henriques ? Head (although an all-rounder would be preferred). Neser ?

[Donny]

Comms are still talking 'who will open with Burns' ?

The selectors must be praying he jags some runs in the second innings, in the Oz A match.

[Donny]

India leads by 415.

Vihari 96*, Pant 55*.

[Donny]

Both batsmen scored centuries. India declared, on the o/night score of 4/386.

[Donny]

Harris glances, straight to leg slip. Out for 6.
