***Official*** Australia in India 2017

Even though Smith has been remarkable in this series, it's quite ironic that his recklessness in that last innings will probably cost his team the series. I understand he was getting into a groove at the time and his confidence will have been sky high but it was just one big shot too many and boy does it look like a fatel mistake. Australia can still hold their heads high, but the truth is they will have lost three out of the last four series if everything goes the way it should tonight and that should be a concern for the Aussies ahead of the next ashes.

Video isn't available, so I don't know if Wade got an answer to this important question.

but what DOES it actually mean? The guys down at the local Indian restaurant keep calling me that so it confuses me greatly, does it mean buddy?
You know what's funny? The google translate app actually does a great job of translating curses. My (non-Indian) wife figured that out once and came up wit some very excellent Hindi curses...

I know you were joking but in polite non censored terms, it means one who has intimate relationship with their mother.

I'm prepared to give him a pass mark when he's made 500 at over 70 for the series. Wade has been our next most consistent batsman. Tbf, he's a meme cricketer and I'd have stuck with Nev but Wade has exceeded expectations with the bat and behind the stumps this series. I think he's kept pretty well in the conditions.

I don't think Wade has kept well but I'm comparing him to Saha who has been amazing

Given the tough conditions I don't know if anyone else in Wade's position would have done better tho. We had so much variable bounce and what other keeper in Australia could have handled that and the sharp turn the spinners got?

The problem with Wade is that whilst he has been better than expected, it's still not great

Biggest series of his short career, can't buy a run, injures his shoulder and buggers off, and no one misses him. Amazing how this can refer to both Virat Kohli and Mitchell Marsh.

I just watched the Maxwell dismissal. He was definitely out, as was Warmer earlier in the series but we've had some ridiculously marginal calls go against us this series.
