This match is going to end tonight, isn't it?

I think we need to hand over the vaccination job to the private sector. Just look at the rate by which covid testing increased post privatisation, this can certainly result in price gouging etc etc but if govt. wants to get this done asap, it needs to get private sector in.
Atleast by doing that it can keep a check on them or even set a price limit for the people getting it individually because once these are available on the open market, there is no chance that price gouging won't happen.
I am not a fan of just giving everything to the private sector. That's just a way for the government to absolve itself from its own responsibility.
Considering how much time they had to prepare for a vaccination drive while the vaccines were being researched on and tested, this is a massive failure. In the time the vaccine makers did all that, the govt. couldn't recruit and train enough staff to get this done quickly. If it takes too long to vaccinate everyone, the vaccine would be useless.
A lot more effort goes into organising an election and we do those all the time.
At this point, releasing the vaccine into the open market might be the better option. Fix a price for it, something that is affordable. But only those people who are aware of, can afford, and want the vaccine will get it by themselves. For full coverage, the govt. still has to do most of thr work.

there are over 10 to 15 cr doses ready just with serum institute and there is no rollout for general population.
They are doing this painfully slowly. I saw a vaccine van here a month ago. However they were using only 4 vaccination centres (all govt. hospitals) for the whole of KDMC. That's a stupid idea from the start. Use schools. They are empty and they can handle large numbers of people at a time. With just 500 health workers (vnot that hard to find in a city this big) administering vaccines full time they could complete giving every resident 2 doses within 2 months (only constraint being supply of vaccines).

I think if it's an indoor wedding, the limit is 50 guests, and for outdoors, 200, IIRC.
Thanks. Do you have any source for the 200 limit? Everywhere I read I only see 50.
-
What do the new announcements by Uddhav say about weddings? Are they not allowed or can you do them with under 50 people?
-
Good to see my favourite share Graphite doing well in recent days.

Australia should be called out for their intimidatory bowling tactics. Biased home umpires have played their part by allowing it to go on, and then they had the audacity to warn Shardul for it.

Bhenchoooddd!!! What a finish.

Pant needs to be a little less reckless. Just drive and cut along the ground until there's 4-5 overs left. You wouldn't bat so recklessly in a ODI with this situation so why in a Test where you don't even need the runs?
Sundar looking good so far.

Umpires call should just go . If 50% of the ball is hitting it should be gone.
Umpire's call itself is fine, the margins are stupid. They count from the bottom of the bail instead of the top or middle.

Has any umpires call gone our way ?
Absolute BSThere was one in the morning. Ball was taking out the bail but the margins for umpire's call are stupid so it stayed not out.
-
Bad shot to get out for Rahane, it never looks good when you do that, but valuable innings nonetheless. Kept the chase alive when it looked likely that we would shut shop, and it has allowed Pant to bat patiently and not fall into Lyon's trap.

Should go for a win from here, even if we lose, so be it.
We have everything in our favour here. Should go for a win but no need to be over aggresive like Adelaide 2013-14.
Just keep the scoreboard ticking (that will happen as long as Pant stays there) until the equation is 75-80 required from 15 overs with 6-7 wickets left.
-
Excellent batting from both Shardul and Sundar. Kept us in the match.
-
Batsmen have let us down again.
-
Winning is not possible now, with this session being lost to rain. There is expected to be rain on Monday/Tuesday as well.
Just bat out tomorrow and get as close to their total as possible.
-
Woke up 5 mins late and Warner's already walking back.
-
Batsmen need to bail us out this time. Bowlers have worked hard enough for the 3 Tests. Someone needs to make a big hundred.
I remember Ganguly's counter attacking 144 at the Gabba (and some rain) was enough for us to salvage a draw in 2003-04.
Was dreaming of a Gabba win after yesterday's draw but now it's not possible.

Lots of idiots (probably T20/IPL fans) on Twitter spewing hate on Vihari for his innings. ??♂️

I don't think so. Batting pitch plus a positive attitude wins you matches. But ya, we all would have taken a draw when the innings started.
In this case Vihari was injured. So many 1s and 2s were lost to this. If runners were allowed, situation might have been different.
Australia realised the chase was not possible and brought their field close. With a field with such little gaps, taking a single is as hard as getting boundaries. Pujara might still have been able to keep it alive but he got out with more than half the day left. After that it was all about defending.
In the end we fell 73 runs short. I don't see how we would have covered those many runs.

I kid you not bro, I watched that in a shady bar in Andheri, Mumbai with friends.
Nothing better than a shady bar with cricket.
What a great effort by Vihari and Ashwin to save this match. Aussie bowlers were just physically and mentally tired in the end.
Now on to the Gabba, Australia's favourite venue.
-
If Vihari can finish this session with 15* (150) he'll be a hero to me.
-
Tough ask. No one else after this. This is the last partnership on which we can pin our hopes. If they both bat till drinks, maybe we have a chance.
Jadeja is injured as well and asking him to bat out 1-2 hours is too much.
It wasn't even wickets of Pant or later Pujara that killed the chase here, it was Vihari's unfortunate injury. Singles became dots and 2s and 3s became singles.

Ball tracker saved England.
Edit: Nevermind. 0-2 and only half an over has been bowled.
