🏏Australia vs India, 4th Test: Melbourne, 26 - 30 Dec 2024: Day 5 🏏 - Page 81

Raven: "Let's be honest, virtually no side would make a serious fist of chasing 340 on this huge ground against this attack! Possibly England all puffed up on Baz gas but even then, Duckett and Brook would have to be in full flight."

The physio comes out again to attend to Kohli. He is getting the thumb of his right hand taped after taking a blow of a delivery from Cummins

Darren Pickerin: "Dave, there are always ifs. If Australia had Cam Green fit the attack would be stronger Marsh probably would have lost his spot by now."

India already 2 wickets down..😢😢

Kya yar...Abhi just score dekha to ye haal hai.

Its just 6.30am here in India. Yaha abhi to din shuru hua hai.

Test match bachalo bhai. Forget about winning it.

Australia drew 18 false responses in the first ten overs with India scoring 0/17 off those. They drew 12 in the next ten but returned with figures of 2/8.

Australia have not declared. India won't mind that because it means less overs for them to bat and survive. This game is unfolding in similar fashion as the 2014 Boxing Day Test between these two teams. Australia posted a big first innings total, India got close but handed a first innings lead, then they were set a target of 384 on the final day and the match ended in a draw.

India will not chase 330 plus in 4th innings on dec 30th. We not have potential to scores 3.90 in 80 plus over

All oher 3 innings last 4 batsman scored plenty of runs so i sense india might draw --

--Melbourne test unless Lyon & Head hurts india in last 45 minutes

(2021 series we won by 3 wkts chasing 329 or so with Gill scored 91 )

AUS 474 & 234

IND 369 & 31/2 (25)

CRR: 1.24

Day 5: 1st Session - India need 309 runs
