Great news. I am very confident that Australia will take this one with Starc coming in. No batsman is safe once Starc gets going. With Anderson coming back, this is going to be one heck of a match.
It's good news from both sides. Anderson was injured so he was out but Starc's one will be always questionable.
India should touch at least 350 scores from here. But when talking about the ideal scenario, India might want to bat around 2 more session that means almost 50-60 overs. If Hanuma Vihari and Pant along with lower-order can show little resistance, then they can fancy their chances of getting close to 400 or maybe more Runs.
400+ is very possible. India will need to play session wise. If they gave give a high score in the first innings then WI will be in pressure from the beginning when they will come for batting. May be a follow on? I see this test is going borking (unless WI shows some batting) LOL
It looks like Strac will play the fourth test match for Australia which is good news and hopefully he can give Australia the spark they need after losing the third test after having all the momentum. Not sure what will happen to Smith though after not making many runs in the tour match but then again he didn't do all that good before the Ashes anyway however he could still be not 100% right after the hit in the neck from the second test match. If he isn't 100% then there is no point risking him as Australia did okay without him.
That was just a warm up innings. Smith is the man and he will show his class in the final time.
