Australian cricket is officially in crisis.
Some of the most pathetic batting and bowling I've ever seen from this side.

India are definitely the better team, Australia won't win, already 3 wickets down in the 2nd Innings

We all got one this after with Marnus Labuschagne bowling medium pies followed by an interpretation of spin bowling.

It was one of your own countrymen quite some years ago who described Jimmy Anderson as an "elderly pie chucker" and five years later, he was still adding to his total Test Match cricket pace bowling total haul
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Day 3 of the Test Match saw the Indian openers take the score on to 201 in their second innings before that partnership was finally broken and then their determination to build a commanding lead saw then bat on remorselessly before declaring with the score at 487-6, setting Australia just over two days to reach the required target of 534 to win.
In the time it took to let the Indian bowlers have a few overs at the Ausses, the day closed with Australia on 12-3 in their second innings, with Bumrah adding to his first innings "5-for" with a short burst that was 2.2 - 1 - 1 - 2.
Day 4 started badly and in the 6th over of the Australian second innings, Khawaja was caught behind off the bowling of Siraj to leave Australia on 17-4. Smith and Head are the pair now at the crease.

The difference is Marnus is an elderly batsman who thinks he's bowler. At the moment he's crap at both.

What's happened to Nathan Lyon?
Past his best?

He bowled a lot without luck.

I believe it's the worst loss to India on Australian soil. The next worse was 220 odd.

Hardly doing anything worthwhile
Some interesting things noticed:
Ivory Coast were bowled out for 7 runs in a Men’s T20I match against Nigeria in Lagos. One player scored 4, three others scored 1 & six batters registered duck. Nigeria had scored 271-4 from their overs winning by 264 runs, the third biggest margin of victory in T20 cricket.
The record low is 6 scored by Mali & Maldives women in a match in 2019.
The West Indies domestic one day tournament final was abandoned after neither captain turned up for the toss. The match which was heavily delayed by rain to being a 20 over match but neither captain turning up meant the match went past the latest time allowed.

Just read that Ollie Pope is keeping wicket in Wednesdays opening Test in Christchurch.
Will he score more than he concedes?

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the passing of Phillip Hughes. Forever 63 not out.

In the Test Match, New Zealand were all out for 348 in their first innings, of which no less than 42 of these were "extras". In reply, England looked in trouble when they reached 71-4 in their first innings, but from that point onwards, they made a very good recovery to reach 319-5.

A large portion of humble pie for me please. I watched all 3 sessions on the first day and the first two of the second. The man has been superb, his wicket keeping was exemplary and his batting sound. More than happy to say sorry I was wrong.
Looked solid from the bits I watched of day 1. Of the 42 extras, 11nb and 11w aren’t on him, and the 8b and 12lb may have been on him but also maybe not

The rule of thumb is that byes are on the keeper, leg byes aren't (as long as the umps correctly signal wides, especially bouncers over head high that can go over the keeper for 4, and don't leave them as byes)

England middle and late order consolidated their first innings score after Brook fell for 171, with notable knocks by....
Stokes 80
Atkinson 48
Carse 33 not out
England eventually reached 499 all out, giving them a healthy first innings lead of 141.
At the end of day 4, New Zealand were 155-6 in their second innings.
Carse 12 - 3 - 22 - 3
Woakes 13 - 1 - 39 - 3

N.Z. all out for 254 leaving England to get 104 to win.
Brydon Carse took 6 for 42 giving him 10-106 for the game Man of the Match or will it be Harry Brook? We'll find out in the next couple of hours.

Tell you who it wont be, that's Zak Crawley. He's just been caught and bowled for 1 which is 1 more than he got in the first innings.
== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==
Well done England it only took them 12.4 overs to get the 104 needed and so won by 8 wickets.

Crawley will bounce back.
I assume theyll go with the same XI in the next test.
Some would have suggested Robinson be given the gloves for the 2nd test, but since Pope di pretty well, its unlikely theyll change a winning team, unless they decide to rotate the seamers. Possibly Potts in for Atkinson
