Well we got Shubman but we really need to get Rohit or Virat shortly

These 2 bat for an hour together and they could pile them on ... mozz factor activated!!

    I'm just going on our form in this cup where we have won more batting first. But Cummins is thinking the dew will affect their spinners.

    Starc has hit some form at the pointy end of the series.

    Each match has different conditions to factor in

    And it's a team decision so McDonald (the coach) would be on board with the decision.  Along with the other senior players

    But I do like attacking decision making in any kind of sport

    1-54 off 7 overs is advantage India, all the same

    These two batsmen are damn good.

    Need a breakthrough asap.

    I'd say even Stevens at the minute.

    Good score at 8 am over.

    But two down.

    Head is one of the best fielders in the game for me.

    What a catch, Head!!! Loved the Maxxy celebration, Rohit looked ominious, big break through!!!

    Bowling first and now they're 3-81

    Hmmmmmm

    And as we all know, wickets can slow the run rate ... unless it doesn't!  haha

    That Travis Head catch was a contender for mark of the round.

    It was just a freak effort.  Especially in such a big match

    He may have lost sight of the ball as well which makes it all the more remarkable

    Mozz factor is working (for now)

    It's like the spectators version of a powerplay

    The script is there to be written for Kohli. However, if we break this partnership early we are up to our eyeballs in this 😍

    Building pressure. No boundaries.

    Time for a wicket I say.

    Yep, we created a holding pattern but they will launch again soon enough

    As you said, another wicket needed to set them back again

    Right now, I'd take 270 - 290 as India will want more than that

    Yep. No boundaries but still scoring.

    Think they will be happy with easy runs then will start to accelerate.

    Agreed a 270-290 a good effort to restrict them to this. Hopefully bit better and lower than that with the start we've made.

    Yeah, but it's Kohli ... he will have set himself to make a big 100

    Anything less than 270 is a bonus right now ... they could get 5 or 6 an over from here in 1's & 2's

    The issue for India right now is they need to get some 2's at least ... but we have fielded brilliantly and are keeping them to 1's only

    Remembering that Jadeja is their no.7 and he's more of a hitter not an occupier ... their next batsman in (Yadav) is the last of their recognised batsmen

    That's the one we wanted and the one we needed ... Virat gone, played on!

    Aussies on top but another quick one would give us a big advantage

    Yes!!! Like he read my mind, thought it was time for the captain to step up and bowl few overs. Crowd silenced. Come on Aussies!

    Another one!  5 - 178 off 36 overs

    The ball is starting to hoop with reverse swing ... and Hazlewood is the man for the occasion.  Starc & Cummins can exploit as well but Hazlewood is in the spotlight just coming on now ... 4 overs left

    We've done our homework pinging the ball in on the bounce at every opportunity

    All legal of course but I remember a time when the umpires would warn players if they deliverately threw the ball in on the bounce ... times have changed

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
