Australia v India 1st Test

In Sydney in the New Year Test, Australia set India 333 in 71 overs on the last day

Sorry Kash, missed your post. Where to start....

I don't know how much you know or don't know, but to answer your question, how many outs till its over?

There is essentially 11 players on each side. You bat with a partner, so that when your side has 10 out they are all out, as the remaining player can't bat on his own. He is said to be 'not out'. He can kind of be thought of as left on base in a baseball game.

So 10 out is all out.

So in the current game, Australia need 8 more wickets (outs) and they win.

For India to win, they need 272 more runs (atm).

The only other constraint is time. There is 69 overs left. So if India can't score the runs (which is looking like they won't) BUT don't get all out, the game will be a draw.

I've probably just confused you more, sorry

Not to mention top scoring for them in the 1st innings

See if we can get the  in the 2nd test on Friday.

 

M.Clarke might might might be good for some runs this time. Had Delhi Belly before day 1 and 2nd innings had to go for it a bit or was off day. Feeling pressure of "being No.1 spin option"??????He might be "chomping at the bit" for a good hit out.

 

Maybe even S. Clark due for a good return.

 

Another draw??

 

Stuey Clark played injured, so I'd expect him to bounce back if fit for the second test

Australia should take a lot out of that, although it was a draw, they won the points decision so to speak
