Sports Test match cricket: Australia v India
Posted By Des

I went to day 3 of the Test match between Australia and India Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in December 2018. It was the Third Test in a four-Test series. The series was level at 1-1 going into the Test (India having won in Adelaide and Australia in Perth). I know this seems incomprehensible if you are not from a cricket-playing country, but a Test match runs for up to five days (and sometimes there is still no result).

Each team can bat twice. Every player in the team (11 of them) can bat. There are two batsmen batting at a time. The object of the batting team is to make as many "runs" as possible. A run is scored when both batsmen run to the opposite end of the pitch (22 yards) after the ball has been bowled. If the ball crosses the boundary it's four runs; if it goes over on the full (a big hit on the MCG) it's six runs.

The object of the bowling team is to dismiss (that is, get out) 10 opposition batsmen. A dismissal is referred to as the fall of a wicket. There are many ways to get out, but the most common is for the ball to be caught by a member of the fielding team (most often the wicket-keeper) on the full after hitting the batsman's bat or gloves. When 10 batsmen (or all the available batsmen) of the batting team have been dismissed, the team is then said to be "all out". Then the other side bats.

The match is won when one team dismisses the other twice for a lower aggregate score than it has made (it then wins by a certain number of runs), or passes the aggregate score made by the other team in its two innings (it then wins by a certain number of wickets).

I took a number of shots with the PLM lens from high in the stand during the Australian innings. It was such a long way away that they weren't great shots. Here's an example: Australian batsman Travis Head getting out bowled (the ball has hit the stumps and dislodged the bails).


The MCG is a huge stadium, with a capacity of about 100,000, as you can see from these wide shots. (K-S2 + DA 20-40 Ltd).

Here's an Indian fan celebrating the dismissal of the Australian team for only 151 runs in its first innings. (This was bad for Australia - India had made 443 in its first innings.) Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah leads the team from the field after taking six wickets.


So India came out to bat a second time. Here's Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc bowling to the Indian opening batsmen. You can see all 9 fielders, plus the bowler and the wicket-keeper, as well as the two Indian batsmen (the striker and the non-striker).


I went down to ground level late in the day. Much better shooting from there. And it was exciting, as Australia dismissed five Indian batsmen for not many runs.

Indian captain (and the world's best batsman) Virat Kohli after being dismissed for a rare duck (that is, no score). Kohli is treated as a god-like figure in India. (Remaining shots all K-S2 + DA 55-300 PLM.)




Indian batsman Rohit Sharma getting out caught off the bowling of Josh Hazlewood.




Australian spin bowler Nathan Lyon in action.


Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood running in to bowl.


Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins leads the team from the field after taking four wickets at the top of India's second innings. The Australian captain, Tim Paine, is behind him carrying his wicket-keeping gloves.


India went on win the Test and to win the series 2-1. It was India's first ever win in a Test series in Australia.
