Aust just dropped the guard a bit after Adelaide I think. Heck its difficult to keep the guard on after 36 but it won't be the case going forward. Wait and watch

Lol.. I dont seriously expect a "half of our first XI" India to dominate Australia either but I get the feeling this Aussie side, much like a couple of the posters here, have allowed the Indian side get to them somehow, even though the Indians have played in good spirits all along. I feel there is one more implosion around the corner for the Aussies.

Sucks that I'm watching BBL just in case they mention the Aussie XI
Everyone knows Warner and Pucovski will open with Wade replacing Head at 5, just name it already

Nah the batting was pretty damn iffy. I don't understand why it's so timid, yes bowling has been accurate, but the pull shot has been missing in particular. It's been very noticeable how much better the Indians have been at using the crease, especially against Lyon. I thought quite a few times Ashwin was getting away with borderline long hops.
The fielding is another matter though, there was definitely a loss of intensity there.

If that side is picked, I think there is more value in Wade batting 6 and Green batting 5 than vice versa.

The umpire looked so pleased for the bowler after signalling one for the over

I am all for banter around cricket as long as we can respect each other and each others' teams.For the first time in a week, I agree with you

India fans already making excuses for next 2 Tests saying that they've lost 5-6 of their first XI players.
In reality, you've lost 2 pace bowlers. Bumrah is still there so 2 of Ishant, Shami and Umesh would have played (no way would India play a 4 pace attack)
Kohli chose to skip the tour so he's not lost.
Pandya hasn't played Tests in 2 1/2 years so who says he would have played now over Vihari?
So 2 pace bowlers missing for next 2 Tests while Aus has just played 2 Tests without injured openers Warner and Pucovski. Seems like equal penalties

Same way Smith and Warner chose to systematically cheat and get banned for it last tour?

The old sunilz “if you watched game X and think Y was the reason something happened, then I will force you to believe Y is the reason my team lost in game Z several years ago too, because I have the mind of a three year old.”

This is a bad take

I accept that, I just don't accept people saying they've lost 5 or 6 of their first XI. That was my point (overshot excluding Kohli)

Yeah, if you exclude half the players they have lost, they have lost half the players.

No they lost that game because they couldn't play SOK straight balls
