Yeah I was a big sceptic but Starc bowled well today. Consistent swing off a good length.

Yeah that's what has been so impressive for me. This isn't minefield, but it isn't a road by any means either. Some of the shots he has played, following the swing of the ball, have been simply sublime. It's a vary rare sight to see shots timed as well as that against what are essentially good balls.How did I miss this?
Beaten on the edge three times in this over. Pancake, sure.

Australia's made 1/770 since Ed Cowan got out in Sydney.

Yeah it wasn't that easy. Once probably every 20 minutes there was a near miss. Each of them nearly chopped on, if Sachin was up closer etc

I think he got a bit obsessed with the inswing at times, he was getting them in trouble just pushing it across them imo, but as the 4th bowler he def showed him over Lyon was the right move.

Nah India still ahead IMO. By 12 runs or so, approximately.

Yeah, don't see the correlation.

As a bowling performance in the context of the innings, sure, but in a longer-term view, it shows that he actually has control over the movement and is learning how to use it. At 21, that's a really good sign. The next step ofc is to replicate it away from Perth.

In all honesty, while I think Warner is Test class and will have a productive career, I don't think he'll have a similar number of big scores. Could be wrong though.

Sehwag vs. this Indian bowling would make run a ball 700.

I'm struggling to think of many days where a team has been so utterly dominant in dismissing the opposition out cheaply then almost matching their score without loss. Amazing day of cricket for the Aussies.
We should scrap the fourth test and get NZ over for a decider at Adelaide...

Warner's superior footwork just puts him in better positions to play a lot more attacking shots than Sehwag does.
He definitely got a bit sloggy after he got hit in the head, but the first 70-80 runs were all made with technically excellent cricket shots. Moved his feet extremely well and created shots with his body position; it really wasn't very Sehwag-like at all other than the fact that he played a big quick-scoring innings as opener.
