Well done SOK. Let's just pray he doesn't injure himself or succumb to illness. Lyon simply isn't capable of the big bags that it looks like O'Keefe is.
Best Lyon has bowled on about a season and a half tbf

I remember some commentators getting wickets completely wrong - infact this is usually the case - but nothing quite as an extreme as that. Even if O' Keefe got just a three-for per innings you'd be saying, ''yes Warne, got it a bit wrong there'' but he is putting in a match winning performance.

India should go back to the 7 batsmen route I think.

Anyone up for an avatar bet on who wins the series? My bet is still on India.

Looking through the Indian lineup, they have some real issues as there must be question marks over the openers, Rahane, the 3rd spinner and Ishant.

50/50 whether they come back hard or fall to pieces IMO

Reckon he started bowling better in the Sydney test, he was varying his pace more and bowling closer to the stumps and more on off stump. Likely be too late to save his career, especially if O'Keefe continues to turn in this sort of performance.

Didn't this very same thing happen against Eng in 2012? We need a spinner who bowls quicker than Ash does on tracks like this. Or someone who at least doesn't bowl too short like a ****ing dick.

SOK is a bit of a hack like Jadeja.
When the pitch is right, they can be unplayable, otherwise, they are mainly defensive bowlers looking to keep it tight and build pressure.

And the fact that the Indian lineup is full of right handers and has not seen much of SOK before, its really helping him.
On the other hand Australia have played it smart by having a equal mix of left and right handed batsmen, which has made it harder for either of the Indian spinners to get on a spree..
