Hardik came under fire because of his lack of respect for women, this is 2019 and if you are misogynistic and then come in a national television show and say those things, you will get in trouble and that is what happened.

I could get why he was warned but this rule only applies to cricketers and not other celebrities. Anyways, I don't think Bumrah will get affected by it as he clarified that it was not transparent and was the effect of lights.

Coming to the match: Agarwal got out for just 16 runs. Looks like the decision was wrong and it wasn't reviewed.

LOL.. all of a sudden the odds seems to have shifted to England's side. They still need another 222 runs, but at this rate they should be able to achieve it. But if Australia can get either Root or Denly out, then the tables will turn upside down. I am not sure who is going to win this match, but I will tell you one thing. This is the most exciting test match that I have watched so far this year!!

England in deep trouble right now and they have lost two crucial wickets (Burns and Roy). Joe Root and Joe Denly are trying to build some sort of a partnership, but my prediction is that Australia will be able to pull this off by today itself. 57 overs of play remains and their pacers are on top form. Lyon is looking not very threatening and if the English batsmen can score some runs against him, then they could build a good 3rd wicket partnership.

Joe Root and Joe Denly have managed to developed a good partnership. At one time England was looking weak in this chase but now with this partnership the England chances are looking bright. What a test match we are having where a few wickets or runs shift the match in the favor of the other team.

Right now England has become favorite but few wickets can make Aussies favorites again. Can't get my eyes off the tv screen Wink

The partnership between Denly and Root has now crossed 100 runs. Australia should get worried now. They should not allow this partnership to grow further. Their biggest disadvantage now is that their spinners (Lyon and Labuschagne) are not at all looking effective. The pacers are bowling their heart out, but this is the 4th innings and they need some support from the spinners.

The third test match of Ashes 2019 is getting exciting. England needs more 258 to level the series while Australia in need of 8 wickets.Root is still on the crease and probably the big hope for England. Australia needs some quick wickets. I am missing Starc at the moment who could have been a dangerman for England. But still, there are Hazlewood, Cumins who can be the hero of this big match.

The only approach that is going to be successful will be Root playing a captains innings

Root is doing his job very well now. So far 46 not out.

England seems recovered well from the initial collapse they had. This partnership already added 84 runs. Now Australian bowlers need to find a way out to get a wicket. They need to break this partnership as early as they can.

My prediction was almost right with Aus taking a 358-259 lead while did not know WI wouldn't manage to make even 240. Both matches look one-sided where Aus and India will surely win while Eng are playing badly where both openers got out for the same score. If Aus manages 2 more wickets below 150, the game is lost. The game will get over by tomorrow afternoon.

Joe Root and Joe Denly building a very crucial partnership for England now. Nathan Lyon remains out of form and the Australian captain has brought in Marnus Labuschagne to try his off-break. It is going to be extremely fifficult for England to score another 260 plus runs that is needed for a win, but they need to bat sensibly now and try to survive against the two in from bowlers (Pat Cummins and Hazlewood).

India vs WI - WI are all out at 222 runs and with this India take a lead of 75 runs in the first innings. Ishant Sharma was the pick of the bowlers by picking 5 wicket for just 43 runs. India would need to make 300 approx in the second innings and asking them to bat in fourth innings and chasing some 375 runs will put them under pressure.

Seems difficult for England as they are still requiring 272 runs and 8 wickets in hand. And today is 3rd day so we have 2 full days left in the test match. If OZ win this test then tehy cannot lose the series from here as they will lead by 2-0 and only 2 more to go in this 5 match series.

Back to the match, England seems following the same route ((I suspect)) they gone in their first innings. They lost both of their openers and only 25 runs on the board.

The only approach that is going to be successful will be Root playing a captains innings and spending as much time in the crease and rotating the strike and scoring runs without taking any risk, that is easier said and done, Australia does have a good bowling line up and if England needs to win they must be able to extend the score above 250 without loosing much wickets and by that time if Stokes, Bairstow or Buttler are in the crease, it would be a dream scenario Cheesy

Cricketers need to present themselves decently and in India many cricketers have been warned like earlier Hardik came on KWK and spoke about his affairs so he was warned.

Hardik came under fire because of his lack of respect for women, this is 2019 and if you are misogynistic and then come in a national television show and say those things, you will get in trouble and that is what happened.

Not looking good tbh Cheesy

England need minimum 2 big innings from their batsmen. If England manages to chase this target down, then cricket fans are going to remember this match for ages. How many times do we see a team getting out under 70 runs in the first inning and chase down the 350+ score, that too in 4th inning? Nothing can beat that combo.

Well you are good in finding historical reference so, I will leave it up to you to find the number :-P

I do not think there any many if any exists. The job is very very(emphasis) hard for English team. Besides, the pitch is not smooth too.

Don't know if its Game on or Game over. Grin

arguably English fans already lost their hope, but deep down they might be hoping for some miracle.

They should be happy with the World Cup winning. May be for the next 50 years this is the achievement they will keep talking about LOL

Teams have chased 350+ before and today is only the third day. So in theory, England still has a chance of winning the test and leveling the series.

I would let it be in theory. I do not think England can chase this run with this batting line up. There is nothing wrong with their Batting lineup, it just that they do not have the confidence to win fighting against the current Australian bowling line up even though they have done it before.

Either way I am not losing anything. If England wins then I will have a winning tip :-)

Innings break in Australia vs England Test. England now have to chase 358 runs if they want to win this match. I do not see much chance for England now. We may see a result even before end of today LOL

I think I lost the tip. England had very good chance to win this Test. Without Smith, it was a broken Australia but England surprisingly performed one of their worse inning.

Labuschagne was in good form and he helped the Australians to reach respectable totals in both the innings. On the other hand, the English batsmen were a bit overconfident and got out to rash shots. Teams have chased 350+ before and today is only the third day. So in theory, England still has a chance of winning the test and leveling the series.

Nice analysis and input.

Wasn't aware of SENA Cheesy

It's very much understable, very few spin bowlers can have outstanding performance in SENA countries.

Quote from: Haunebu on August 24, 2019, 01:52:33 AM

Liked your analysis of Ashwin earlier being a Ashwin fan myself. Also, Kohli is not simply smelling victory here, but I think he can taste it since India are in a really good position to wrap this one up as expected.

Thanks guys, appreciate that.

@Little Mouse : Haha that's fine, it happens. that's a only reason Muralitharan and Shane Warne are considered legend in Test Cricket and in some extent Anil Kumble too.

@Haunebu : I am his fan as well Cheesy

True, Kohli is eyeing on another test victory. after this win he's going to become the most successful Captain for India in Test Cricket.

This one will most likely end in a draw since the possibility of a win by either Sri Lanka or New Zealand is getting slimmer and slimmer and I think New Zealand might get close to Sri Lanka's first innings total currently thanks to Latham.

See now we are talking :-P

This was the reason I went with win or draw market when I picked the matches for the 3 fold few days ago. Very unfortunate that England performed their worse in the first innings and I clearly see the 3 fold is going to lose :-(

India will win for sure.
