Cricket match prediction discussions

Indian team bawled out with in 283 runs. Oz took healthy 43 runs lead. Now chances of winning this test match 70%-30% in favour of Australia. Indian record is very bad when chasing scoreboard this year.

[vella85]

India are bowling well right now and are making it very hard for Australia to get runs on the board. The current Australian lead is just 165 runs with 4 wickets down and it could very well be 5 wickets down as Finch has retired hurt and might not be able to come back and bat. These last few overs are going to be vital for Australia as they don't want to lose any more wickets before the end of play. I think anything over 250 will be tough to chase on this pitch as Lyon was getting the pitch to play some tricks on the Indian batsman and he could be the match winner for Australia while Kohli will be the key man for India. Its going to be a close finish in this test match.

Even Australian bowlers are doing well, and unless Indian batsman keeps their wickets on hold or steady, all the bowling performance might go in vain. The final score can be easily more than 250 and might get near to 300. Tomorrow it will partially give some light on our predictions and then we can make some good decision to bet on the final day, maybe.

Australia were able to hold on without losing another wicket so now the morning session will be the one that determines the test match in my opinion. If India can get early wickets and restrict Australia's lead to around 220 then it could go their way but if Australia can pile on the runs and get a 250+ run lead then the match will be in Australia's favour. A lot is riding on this morning session to see where this match is heading, I'm hoping Australia can get the win and square up the series heading into the Boxing day test match which is always huge.

[onrise]

Match has almost moved away from India and now only two things seems to be possible OZ to win or if India is able to strain on the last day in batting than maximum the can draw the match as Oz are 233 ahead and still 6 wickets left. Batting last day will be difficult as well .

March has almost moved away from India and now only two things seems to be possible OZ to win or if India is able to strain on the last day in batting than maximum the can draw the match as Oz are 233 ahead and still 6 wickets left. Batting last day will be difficult as well .

It has changed very quickly for Australia as they have lost 4 quick wickets after the lunch break and only lead by 245 runs with 2 wickets remaining which are the bowlers. I said anything over 250 would be tough to chase down on this pitch which is starting to play tricks again. The morning session Australia were cruising along and it looked like they would get a lead of 300+ but Shami put a stop to it getting Paine and Khawaja out. It looks as though Strac and Lyon are just trying to survive and eat up as much time as they can.

Very painful to watch Indian batting. Now we can say easily series level up to 1-1 .
4 wickets down now only some kind of miracle save India from here. Kl rahul should book his return ticket asap

India are fighting back strongly in this test match however I think Australia is in a strong position on 255/6 as this pitch is very tough to bat on and as the pitch starts to dry out it will be even tougher to bat on. If Australia can get around 300+ runs then it will set them up nicely for the win as Australia's pace attack is a lot stronger then India.

You still believe Australia got better pace attack than India ? Just check how Australia suffered in the first test match of this series. As of now, Australia may score up to 350 runs in their first innings whereas I am expecting India to bat for second and third day and may score 600+ runs and then it would be easier for them to bowl out Australia with less than 200 runs to win this match by innings. All these depend on how India opener will start after Australia finish up their first innings.

600+ runs lol

I think this guy got over confident and thought India would easily win lol, lets be honest India were very lucky to have won the first test match and there wasn't much between the teams but I think some people were getting a little over confident with India. Australia now just need 5 wickets to win this test match and square up the series 1-1, it will be tough for India to hold on for a draw on this pitch as if they do hold on in the morning session the new ball will mostly do the damage once it is taken tomorrow.

Yeah lol, can't blame anyone for this that's why i told him to keep his thoughts to himself. was rude but it was necessary because this dude sounds like an Indian coach Ravi Shashtri. 

I hate to say but you dont know shit about test cricket or Indian batting lineup/History. so stfu Cheesy

As an Indian fan i am still waiting for some miracle here

From here only OZ winning the game and leveling the series to 1-1- seems to be possible. As probably in first session tomorrow itself India might be all out and match would be over. Unless some unexpected forecast changes etc  could only now save the game rest nothing much left in this game.

Friends Cricket is game of miracles and here we can expect any result because Pant and Vihari both can change things for visitors so The game is still alive for India but it is a big ask so lets see what happen because I enjoy cricket just because of these type test matches

What you are telling is true but the track is change now and their is lot of swing in it, pace bowler will take benefit and tommorrow India will collapse in 2nd session. Australia will level this test series 1-1

West indies Showed that they are the king in T20 game, they won the first T20 against Bangladesh in 11 overs, now they are leading 1-0 in 3 match t20 series.

Yes these two can bat on and try and get India close to the target but once the new ball is taken by Australia, I think it will be game over. The new ball has been tough to play on this pitch since day one with it moving around and swinging so it will be tough for the Indian batsman. Lyon is also getting the ball to play tricks so he may play a role early in the first session later today. If Australia do get the win I think its good for cricket here in Australia as like I mentioned in this thread many times, the crowd numbers will be most likely low and so far they have been as two of their key players are out due to suspension and both Smith and Warner are popular players here in Australia. So a win for Australia will hopefully get people coming to the cricket for the big Boxing day test match which is the biggest test match of the Australia summer of cricket.

As expected the match ended in OZ winning easily by margin of 146 runs which is a god comeback after losing the first test. So finally we have 1-1. For India they will now have to make some changes in batting as top batsman are not in form and Hardik and Mayank can be part of 3rd test match now.

Actually India made mistake of excluding Ashwin and bhuvaneshwar from squad which have cost them the match to loss. I think next match they will properly work out and pick the team mates properly.

[Supercrypt]

Actually India made mistake of excluding Ashwin and bhuvaneshwar from squad which have cost them the match to loss. I think next match they will properly work out and pick the team mates properly.

Ashwin was left out due to injury reasons and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar's recent swinging capacities are not better than Umesh Yadav. But, I guess Ravindra Jadeja must have been included as he is a front line spinner and also having some batting capabilities. If a spinner was included, I guess Australia might would have faced 2-0 right now.

For boxing day match, I guess both the current opener might be dropped and Prithiv Shaw may find a slot to open along with M Agarwal or else with M Vijay.But, there will be no reasons for retaining M Vijay in my opinion. All the above, H Pandya may replace H Vihari to give India an all rounder touch. If Ashwin will be fit, U Yadav may end up in bench.

Australian bowlers were also quite good, might be a spinner could change the current position. Also, the opening of Indian teams second innings was just a shit show. I think you are right, they will be dropped and actually, they should be dropped and I agree including Pandya and for sure including a spinner.
But truly, hats off to the bowling of Australian team, quite remarkable performance.

Simply toss decided the match in my opinion.In 5 day matches toss plays a big roles since the pitch getting more spin day by day that is why Nathon Lyon made the Indian batsmen to shattered on the fourth day.

SL vs NZ test match is also getting excitred as NZ made 578 runs in their first innings and SL got all out at 282 and batting at 259/3. SL still trail by 37 runs an 7 wickets in hand. If SL can give 200 runs target still batting fourth might be just not hat easy but still game might go to NZ.
