There was a noticeable drop in intensity after the kohli wicket in the second innings too. They had us at effectively 33-4.

Just own it IMO. It's a great CW moment.

Yeah. That would be nice if it could happen.
Yeah, big throwaway there. This is what winning the first test gave them, a hangover which turned into a bangover.

16th. The fourth test is the only with a short-ish turnover, and of course the early finishes make these breaks even longer

He doesn't need bad decisions to get out to spin. Surely they won't pick him anyway, may as well play a blind no armed midget as he'd score more runs than he does against spin.

Ashwin needs 31 wickets in 8 tests to become the fastest bowler to 300 test wickets. 9 to tie with Lillee.

DRS becomes so strategic and precious in low-scoring matches. It adds or should add a whole other dimension to regular preparation. Non-strikers, for example. have no business standing on the return crease, like Smith was today. Make sure you have the umpire's perspective, or as close to it as possible.

Although, that doesn't explain why TPC didn't, you know, call him back

He's literally missed full tosses on the forward defensive against off-spinners go get out LBW. He's proper bad against spin.

Smith also says he didn't think S Marsh was out, told him to "go", meaning go for the review but Marsh misunderstood & walked off.

Well that's a further kick in the teeth

I've never much enjoyed attempts to discredit bowling performances based on conditions. It still takes quality bowling to take advantage of conditions.
For example, I think at times Lyon looked really dangerous in India's second innings but was unlikely to take a wicket because he was probably overspinning it. It's like when visiting seamers get to the WACA and bowl about a foot and a half too short to 'take advantage of the bounce'
Generally Australia got distracted by conditions in India's second knock. They were sending down every delivery like it was 'the ball' rather than just bowling like normal.

Probably couldn't hear for his life out there. Nigel was yelling at him as he made that nod to the dressing room to cut that out and Smith didn't hear him at all.classic shaun marsh
