India need 101 runs from 21 overs 06:06 - Jan 19 with 5088 viewsgainsboroughblue

Cracking finish in store here.

Would rank as one of the greatest test series wins ever if India manage this, given the injuries and following the 36 all out.

Would also be hilarious.

Good response though:



Awful shot from Thakur, just block it and let Pant get the runs.

Not that shot, obviously!

Great result for India, never in doubt. That’s a crushing defeat for the Aussies. I wonder what Paine will say? Perhaps they can interview Smith once he’s finished scratching out Pant’s mark? 😉

I believe that is, by some distance, the highest successful 4th innings run chase ever at the Gabba.

Is this the Aussie commentators again?

In a way, it is but they are probably going down the ' somehow beating the mighty Aussies angle' rather than the obvious overcoming injuries, a humiliating 36 all outer and winning on the last day with practically a reserve outfit away from home.

Pervious successful run chase at the Gabba is Australia's 7-236 v WI in 1951 but the highest fourth innings score is Pakistan's 450 in 2016.

Suspect that India batting line-up (add in Kohli) will notch up a few 600+ scores against Bess, Leach and (maybe) Ali.

They’ll certainly be full of confidence. It will show where we are at as a side because India look the best test side in world cricket currently, although the rankings will show it’s Australia.

Great win. It actually says to me that England have a great opportunity at next years Ashes particularly if the Aussies keep Paine as captain. Also that India might have a captaincy problem of their own! Who do they pick as captain when Kohli comes back after this?

Nine test matches against India this year.

We certainly won't be able to complain at being undercooked for the Ashes next winter.

I think New Zealand went top last week, not sure if India will have knocked them off now

I was just typing the same. Kohli is so intense puts fear in his own players, Rahane is a far more relaxed character. I’m not sure Kohli’s ego would allow him to step aside as their captain. What’s best for the team, not the individual? I’d give it to Rahane permanently, which then allows Kohli to concentrate solely on his batting and scoring a hatful of runs for his country.
