Thanks everyone Cheers! What's my cut if he wins !

Leicester's newest fan, our baby boy born in the early hours of this morning

Thank you. I'll be fine! Cheers bro. Think it probably will head that way! Thanks man, appreciate it.

This is true, and we are expecting. But that's not the reason for the absence. Yet! But I realised being on here was having too much of a negative impact on my mental health and had to get away. It was for my own sanity to step away and I didn't like how I was becoming in conversations. I must admit it makes watching our games better if I'm at home and not logged on here. There's no kneejerk reactions to listen to or react to. Didn't want to make a big fuss when I chose to log out and was best I just leave it for the time being

From what I could see there was a fair bit of applause but probably not a lot of cheering as such.

Very little I would imagine. But yes, happy to leave the politics out of this one! How he just walked off earlier was shameful, disrespectful and embarrassing.

Modi is a pr*ck. Wouldn't take anything he does or says with any seriousness.

It'd be like me saying all England fans are insufferable. You wouldn't exactly like it or just bend over and take it would you Never mind. Enjoy the satisfaction of the Aus win today. Have a good evening.

Not at all. Like I said, the timing is perfect though. Sorry for wanting India to win, mind. As an Indian it'd be pretty weird for me to want Australia to win this game. It's fine to want Aus to win but not be an absolute arse about it and constantly trot out that all Indian fans are insufferable. That shite is boring now.

As if I think Aus have been great since the first two defeats and they fully deserve the win today. I have nothing against Aussies. But it's pretty damn good timing for some people to only turn up when India lose Not sure where the soreness is against Aus here from me.

I can't breathe the banter is too much

Exactly what I was thinking Been sitting there waiting.

Head for Man of the match no question. That catch in 1st innings was quality as good as this ton is.

It'll take an almighty collapse from here for Aus to lose this. They've got complete control and there's too many wickets in the bank.

Smith can't be too mad at him either if he ends up winning the tournament...

Oh great Harsha is back.

There's barely any grip on the wicket? Ball is probably quite wet too.

They'll win at a canter, too. Whole atmosphere has died because of these two just batting away sensibly.. And even if one of them get out there's Maxwell to bat as well

They're batting well though. Ticking off the singles and getting 4 or 5 an over will see them through with ease.

My first instinct was he was across the stumps

Get in! Rare you don't see a top player review it, even if it could be close.

What's Warner doing playing that

Conditions do play a big part though, especially in day/night matches. Dew factor comes into play on a game like this. May be difficult for fast bowlers because the pitch has no pace to it and it's harder to grip the ball to make it turn. The flip side of that is sometimes the reverse swing (as shown by Hazelwood and Starc today). And with dew it is more difficult for the ball to grip for spinners to turn the ball. So timing of the conditions is a factor in itself.

Might not even get that!
