It seems like the Australian team is dependent on Travis Head once again. How many times will he save his team 

The Australian team lost both openers quickly but then Travis Head and Steven Smith have steadied the game. Travis Head has already completed his half century while Steven Smith is just four runs short and will make his 50 soon. If these two players continue for long, Australia will be eyeing a big total. There is still plenty of good batsmen to follow like Mitchell Marsh and Alex Carey. Pat Cummins can also play well and fast as he can hit boundaries at the end.

Australia did not got the best of the start in the 1st innings. their players were struggling and losing wickets till Steven Smith and Travis Head entered the game and the way they both made a huge partnership. Travis Head scored 152 runs that was woo much needed while his partner Steven Smith made 100 too, that was also so valuable. 

After that, Pat Cummins and Alex Carey made a little bit of a partnership but that was not as threatening as the previous partnership. However, Travis Head and Steven Smith did their responsibility to take the team from pressure and put them in a favorable position.

A Test match is being play after the series between England Women and South Africa Women.  In this series England Women won the series by win 2 matches and South Africa Women lost the series by win only 1 match.  But they can perform well in this test match because they have a chance to win this match.The first day of the match in which England Women are batting and playing like they are playing T20. Their batsmen scored 67 runs in 14 overs and also lost a wicket.  England Women batsmen can give a target of over 300 which will be due to very poor bowling for South Africa Women. We are getting to see the same perform of England women in every match. she is look strong in every match and play to win the match. If South Africa women do not weaken them in the first innings they will lose this match too which will make a big difference in their quality.

The opening batsmen of the Australian team could not make a very good score. However, at the moment, since the two experienced batsmen of the Australian team Travis Head and Steven Smith are batting, if they can make a great partnership, it will be a big score. Jasprit Bumrah of the Indian team has bowled exceptionally and has taken two wickets, however, his balls have put a lot of pressure on the Australian batsmen at the moment. However, if Travis Head can score a century in today's match, then the runs will increase a lot for Australia and if he gets out, then of course the runs of the Australian team will not be that much. At the moment, these two batsmen of the Australian team have been able to make a good partnership, both of them are batting patiently with the aim of scoring a century.

Yes, these two great batsmen of the Australian team have been able to achieve the target of centuries. The extraordinary centuries of Travis Head and Steven Smith have taken the team score of the Australian team to a very high level. The Australian team has scored 405 runs for the loss of 7 wickets so far in today's second day of the first innings. The Australian cricket team still has three wickets left. It is expected that the Australian team will be able to reach a score of 500+ with the batting of these remaining three wickets. Looking at the score of the first innings of the Australian team, it is estimated that the Australian team will win the match against India in this third Test match.

I can't say New Zealand's first day was very good in terms of Test matches. England are not a team that lags far behind in Test cricket. New Zealand's pitches are mostly batting friendly. 330-350 is not a big target, especially for England, on a batting friendly pitch. You have to perform better and put them under pressure if you want to win against big fishers like England. New Zealand have already crashed out of the series after losing the first two matches. I can see New Zealand getting a shameful whitewash against England.

Did you watch the live broadcast of the third Test match between New Zealand and England, maybe you didn't. New Zealand batted very well in the first innings against England and even they are batting well in the second innings against England. On Which you call a batting friendly pitch, New Zealand scored more than 300 runs in the first innings but England were bowled out for just 143 runs.
There is still a lot of time left to lose the third test match, maybe New Zealand will win this match, they will give the England team a big run target, because they are already 281 runs ahead of England.

Yes , I saw first inning of match . New Zealand International test cricket team did good come back in this match and that team is also playing well in second inning because they have made 136 runs and they lost 3 wickets and that team is ahead by 340 runs. Williamson made half century in second inning and he is present on the wicket by giving good effort in this match and we are expecting that they will give target 450+ runs . New Zealand team is favorite team for this match . In the first inning,Latham and Santner played very excellent and made half centuries in this match.New Zealand team will win this match one sided because England team is looking very weak in this match because they could not take Wickets early in this match.

India's bowling department, lol. Bumrah carrying the team single handedly and I am hearing Shami ain't gonna make it for rest of matches either, and anyhow he doesn't seem to be in touch. RIP!

[Out of mind]

Australia's batsman Travis Head scored a century as soon as he entered the field against India, he is a legendary batsman. We saw that Travis Head scored 152 runs in today's test match, his batting performance was very interesting. Moreover, Steven Smith also played brilliantly in today's match, he scored 101 runs, mainly in the partnership of Travis Head and Steven Smith, he scored 253 runs. Moreover, the score that the Australian team made against India by losing 7 wickets today indicates their victory from the beginning. The Australian team has scored 405 runs by batting today, although they still have three wickets in hand, they will play to increase the runs for the team.

It was already clear that Steven Smith would do well in the third Test against Australia as he worked hard in practice to improve and that effort was rewarded with a century against India.  

On the other hand, the game against India cannot be such that Travis Head does not do well. Travis Head played a brilliant innings of 150 plus runs against the Indians. The excellent batting of these two batsmen as well as the efforts of all the other batsmen, so far Australia has been able to accumulate 405 runs for seven wickets on the scoreboard after the first two-day game against India. Australia will bat for a while in the first session on the third day and then maybe declare an innings and invite India to bat.

Bumrah doing Bumrah things as usual. What the heck is wrong with the other Indian fast bowlers? They are a league behind Boom Boom which is primarily why the Aussies are set to post a big first innings total.

Bumrah was doing good bowling but Muhammad Siraj could only took one wicket and the combo between these two bowlers was disturbed today.
Thankfully Bumrah was in form today otherwise if could be more trouble for India.



Nitish Kumar Reddy took one wicket but he gave way too many runs. He was bowling at an economy rate of 5. All eyes were on Bumrah while Siraj picked the wicket of Pat Cummins at the end of the innings. Anyway, I am sure Australia will lose their last wicket quickly tomorrow and then it will all be on the Indian batsmen as to how they will bat.

Yeah. Nitish was way too expensive considering the fact that this is a test match, but he is doing relatively well considering that he is still a newcomer and has a ton of potential. Am disappointed with Siraj and the others excluding Bumrah obviously.

I feel that India will play well in the first innings, but the entire test might end as a draw thanks to rain interference earlier.

Yes, You are right Travis Head is backbones of Australian cricket. Travis Head played an outstanding inning of 152 runs from 160 balls. Travis Head this classic inning assisted Australia to cross 400 runs. At the end of day 2 Australia current score is 405 runs in a loss of 7 wickets.
Steve Smith also superb batting performance scored a well deserved century and out after scoring 101 runs. Now Alex Carey is playing at 45 runs and very close to his half century alongside with pat Cummins captain of Australian team. India not bowl well in first inning except captain Jasprit Bumrah who picked 5 important wickets including the crucial wickets of Travis Head and Steve smith.

Current Indian bowling attack badly missing services of Mohammad Shami who is one of the best bowler after Jasprit Bumrah because he is having accuracy like him and also can take quick wickets with Mohammad Siraj is completely crap but still selectors and team management is allowing him which is wired for me and many others those are watching this series.

Today we have good start for the Indian team but sadly due to not having good support we have good innings from Travis Head and Steven Smith both hit centuries which bring Australian team into driving seat now most chances we will be having Indian team on batting tomorrow early and things could be not easy for them after conceding 400+ having batting on this track against quality bowlers things are completely under Australian control after this score.

India won the toss and elected to field. But the Indian bowlers could not take any advantage in the first two days. The match was delayed due to rain on the first day. On the second day, we only saw the dominance of the Australian players. Steven Smith and Travis Head batted well today.

Smith played an innings of 101 runs from 190 balls on the second day. Travis Head scored 152 runs from 160 balls. Australia was able to score 241 runs from this pair. At the end of the second day, Australia's total was 405 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. The pitch is batting friendly. So it is expected that the Indian batsmen will also be able to bat responsibly on this pitch. This match is most likely to be a draw. Bumrah bowled brilliantly today. Bumrah took 5 wickets out of 7 wickets.

The Australian team has scored 405 runs by batting today, although they still have three wickets in hand, they will play to increase the runs for the team.

What impressed me the most in Australia's match against India was Travis Head's batting. I don't know what happens to Travis Head when he comes out to play against India? How do you enjoy being aggressive against the same team for a man? I really enjoyed his innings against India. Head is undoubtedly a legend and I am inspired by his game.

Australia is performing brilliantly as a team. After Travis Head, Steve Smith has managed to reach the milestone of a hundred runs after a long wait. Smith is definitely an important player for Australia in Test cricket. His return to form is good news for Australia. Australia is now in a very dangerous form in Test cricket.

On the other hand, it seems that only Jasprit Bumrah is bowling for the Indian team. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, no one is bowling well and I don't think anyone else is world class except Bumrah. You can talk about Muhammad Siraj, but I think he will one day lose himself from world cricket due to his unnecessary aggression. He should definitely be more flexible on the field of play and respect the players.

I think Indian bowlers will think now to restrict the team within 450 runs for the first innings. But looking at the pitch and the form of Alex Carey, I think it will be very difficult. Before the first day, the pitch looked bowler friendly; hence Rohit Sharma decided to bowl first after winning the toss. But I guess the rain was the shocking impact for the pitch. India has to really fight hard now to win the game and grab those points for the WTC. Today, Indian bowlers were completely clueless. They were neither able to take wickets nor able to bowl good length balls.

India are now at 405 runs for 7 wickets and you are saying that India bowlers should out them before they reach 450    I think with Bumrah starting fresh in the morning, India should not allow them to make more than 10 or 20 runs. The last wicket has already added 20 runs as when Pat Cummins was out when the score was 385.

India should focus on not giving strike to Alex Carey and keep the Australian bowlers on strike as much as possible. If Australia manages to get 50-60 runs tomorrow, the match will tilt heavily in favour of Aussies.

Indian bowlers did a good job in the start by picking 3 wickets for just 75 runs but its 241 runs partnership between Smith and Head that brought Australians right back into the game. If India can put a decent total in response to what Australia score in first innings then the game will head to a draw. All depends on how India respond to Australia first innings total, only three days left for the game and we are all still in first innings. Odds must be in favour of draw.

Yes , I saw first inning of match . New Zealand International test cricket team did good come back in this match and that team is also playing well in second inning because they have made 136 runs and they lost 3 wickets and that team is ahead by 340 runs. Williamson made half century in second inning and he is present on the wicket by giving good effort in this match and we are expecting that they will give target 450+ runs . New Zealand team is favorite team for this match . In the first inning,Latham and Santner played very excellent and made half centuries in this match.New Zealand team will win this match one sided because England team is looking very weak in this match because they could not take Wickets early in this match.

We have seen New Zealand lose in the first two matches of the series. In both matches, New Zealand lost by a big margin. In the first match, England won by 8 wickets. And in the second match, England probably won by a big margin of 323 runs.

However, in the third match, we can see a better performance from the New Zealand players. So far, New Zealand is in a very strong position in the match. Even then, it cannot be said for sure whether New Zealand will win or not. However, New Zealand has the highest chance of winning the match.

In the first innings, New Zealand scored 347 runs. On the other hand, England batted very badly. England could only score 143 runs in the first innings. In the second innings, New Zealand scored 136 runs after losing 3 wickets. New Zealand is leading by a huge margin of 340 runs. If New Zealand can give a target of 400+ runs, I would say that will be enough to win.

Due to rain on the first day, the game was stopped for almost the entire day. In this case, Australia only got a chance to bat a few times, losing one wicket for 28 runs. When the second day started, they lost three wickets for approximately 75 runs. It can be assumed that Australia will not be able to score much.
But Travis Head and Smith's 241-run partnership took Australia to a crucial position. At 405 for the loss of 7 wickets, Australia scored enough for a draw or a win.  But if India can perform well then there will be enough chance to draw the match.

The Indian bowlers started well. But India could not maintain the consistency. Due to the excellent batting of Smith and Head, the match was completely under the control of Australia at the end of the second day. Smith scored 101 runs and Travis Head scored 150+. This pair batted brilliantly. The Australian batsmen were able to make a big collection of 405 at the end of the second day. I would call a collection of more than 400 on this pitch in Brisbane a big collection. It may not be difficult for the Indian batsmen to collect more than 400. However, the performance of most of the Indian batsmen at the moment is very erratic. So I think Australia will be able to take a big lead in the first innings.

If New Zealand can give a target of 400+ runs, I would say that will be enough to win.

New Zealand is batting well in the second innings as well. And looking at New Zealand's batting, I think there is no possibility of giving a target less than 400. New Zealand has already taken a big lead of 340 runs. No team has ever won such a big target on this Hamilton pitch in the past. A few days ago, New Zealand won against South Africa on this pitch by chasing a target of 269 runs. And this is the highest run chase on this pitch. So I don't think England will win by batting a big target on this pitch. Even if they win the first two matches, I am waiting to see England lose the last match of the series.
