India are in complete control of the third test match and from here they should go on to winning the match as they have Australia in big trouble at 7 wickets down for just 138 runs and they still trail by 305 runs. Australia still need 105 runs to avoid the follow-on which I can't seem them doing so it will be interesting to see what India do if Australia can't avoid the follow-on, will they bat again or put Australia back in and finish the test match tomorrow?
Disastrous first session for Aussies as they loose 4 wickets . No cheap wickets , just extremely good bowling by Indians . This is a good pitch to bat on but clearly Aussies batsmen are struggling but I still feel like Mitchelle Marsh will score well on this pitch so I still say draw , if they loose 6 wickets by 150 then yeah Indians will have this match.
India is looking good at this stage and Kohli was very lucky to survive in the last few overs before the end of play as he was dropped by Paine which should of been taken. The new ball was difficult to play and India will need to get through the first hour in the morning session today as it will be hard to bat with the ball still being new. If India can pile on another 250+ runs today then it will put them in the box seat to win this test match. Today is going to be a hot day in Melbourne so India would want to keep the Australian team out there fielding for as long as they can. But they must also be careful to not bat too long as rain is forecast on the 5th day. The draw option has firmed up and is not into around $2.50 with most markets.
Pujara completed his century and got out at 106 and Kohli was out at 82. India are 390/5 and would like to make more than 500+ runs so that they can start putting pressure on OZ the moment they come into bat. If India can get a good big score in first inning might be they even do not have to bat second if they can quickly get wickets of OZ.
I totally agree with your thoughts and assumptions about the game being ended as a draw. They could have accelerated as we can see there are still 3 wickets left, so aggressive playing could have been a better option. But if they are good with their bowling, I think it won't be a problem, but the probability is going towards the game being ended as a draw.
Indian team decided to declare it with just 443 runs on board and only 7 wickets had fallen. I think if they would have batted and reached anywhere near 500 and all out then OZ could have being trouble as if they got all out they could have to bat again if India decided. But now seems OZ could easily make 300+ runs on this pitch.
What you are telling is correct then i think right now taking draw bet is good as the odd is high and If Australia bat well and dont loose wickets in first session then draw odd will go low and that will be correct time to take another bet on each team. 3rd day first session is very important if India are able to take wickets then the pressure will be on Australia team
I think India declaring and not trying to score 500 was the right decision as it has been slow batting by the Indian team and Kohli thought that 400+ runs was enough and have a crack at Australia late on day 2 so I can see why he declared early. This is looking a lot like last years Boxing day test match where it ended in a draw so we could see the same happen here unless India happen to bowl Australia out for around 200 and then put them into bat again. Today will be an interesting morning session as the ball is still new which has been hard to score runs.

We watch some extra ordinary spells from good bowlers in New Zealand and South Africa first oliver done great job for his team and take 6 wickets which packed Pakistan 181 for all out now just few minutes ago Boult done same great job for New Zealand and packed Sri Lanka for just 104 these both tests going to end in just 3 days because both pitches favoring fast bowlers.

In 3rd Test, after India winning the toss have decided to bat and have started well this time. They are 160/2 and Mayank have debut for India have in his first innings itself have recorded a fifty. He got out for a well played inning of 76. Currently Pujara and Kohli are on the pitch.
At the end of day's play India did not lost more wickets and was 215/2 . the score is far less at an average of 2.41 being the net run rate. But good thing is that they have 8 wickets left and this is the good sign. Pujara is batting on 68 and Kohli on 47. OZ would be unhappy with getting just 2 wickets in the days play.
Keeping wickets is good but even scoring also should be their, if India manages to score above 550+ score then their chances will become high and if Australia looses wickets soon then it will be very good. As in the commentary it was stating that due to high temperature from day 3 pitch can show spin and pace, which India should take benefit. Any how if the match is moving towards 4th day with 1st innings then draw odd will be low , so betting draw odd is good bet as you can get odd high right now and if both play smoothly then draw odd will come down. This way you can earn good in test cricket.
India after loosing 2 wickets have score 188, if india score above 450+ in first innings then their winning chances are up as the pitch start to crack from 4th day which give pace and spin to bowlers.
India is pretty much in the driving seat. 215/2 after day 1 means if nothing extra ordinary happens tomorrow at the first session then India is going for a big score. 500+ is not going to be that hard and that's gonna take the whole day of day two, except may be last few overs for Aussies.In that case Aussies have to do very well in their first innings. Most probably they will get few overs (5 to 10) from day 2 because India will try to pick up few wickets. Aussies have to bat very well on day 3. If they don't then India will drive the car for sure.
Anyway, anything can happen after all it's India v Australia. My odds are still for India by the way.
Looking for an exciting test match.

Hey guys , first of all , Merry Christmas to all .
Australia take on India at MCG .
The pitch looks great to bat on .
Mayank Agarwal is making his debut and is a player you should look out for .
Indians are batting first and if you ask me they will score well .
I suggest you to go for Draw .
Reasons
-Indians have batsmen who are well suited for this pitch and so do Aussies .
- If Indians manage to put up 350-400 and Aussies will chase it , it will take 3 days whole .
The odds are looking good for "Draw" too .
Good luck
90% of the Test match played in recent have given results , that is why odd for Draw is high so that gamblers should lure for high odd and lose the bet, but if you are taking draw bet for arbitrage then it will surely give you good profit in most of the match.

There could be some good news for the Indian team as Ashwin has been bowling in practice and is a big chance to play on Boxing day. Australia could also make a change by dropping Peter Handscomb and bringing in Mitch Marsh as the selectors are looking for the all rounder option.
Indian Team Management keep doing fuck ups on a team combination. Ashwin bowling in nets can be good or bad both because nowadays players being a drop from the squad for showing so-called less intensity in nets.
Mitch Marsh is Vice Captain, right?
Depends on the Pitch, if the pitch is green then most team always opts for 4 seamers (including 1 allrounder seam bowler, opposition batting lineup comes into play too) Spinners always comes handy in Test cricket due to over rate ratio even in seaming/bouncing condition (90 over per day / 15 over per hour) Every captain struggles with over rate if he picks 4 seam bowler with no spinner in team. That's why we have seen Hanuman Vihari bowling 28 overs in 2nd test.
Yadav played around 40 test match but gets carried away 7 out of 10 times in seaming condition and ends up giving runs. so IMHO the Indian team should opt for Bhuvi if they need 4th seamer because he can bat too in the lower order.
Yes Mitch Marsh is the vice captain and I think he has come in as the pitch is green and will suite him along with his batting so Australia can have 4 pace bowlers and the 1 spinner which could take spin on days 3-5. India have made some changes at the top with the debut of Mayank Agarwal to open the batting, alongside Hanuma Vihari. It will be interesting to see how these two face up to the fast pace attack of Strac, Hazlewood and Cummins.
These are the teams that have been named but there is still 2 hours before the match starts so we could see a late change or two but for now the teams are:
Australia XI: Marcus Harris, Aaron Finch, Usman Khawaja, Shaun Marsh, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Tim Paine (c,wk), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood
India XI: Mayank Agarwal, Hanuma Vihari, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (c), Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah.
It is always tricky to predict a draw. And I think most bettors don't like to bet on a draw, they like to support a team. Can be an attractive option actually given the relatively high odds on both encounters.
