They should have at least given Starc a tonk instead of declaring at tea to allow India openers to get prepared

Nah, didn't even know Siraj was the fielder when I posted that (not that it matters who it was)

Oversimplication imo. No one expects him to go full postal, rather just be better at rotating strike at least, quick single meme notwithstanding. Or be more proactive in dispatching the rank half-volleys. Instead it feels like his responsibility to the scoreboard ends as soon as he deadbats the ball. Sure, his approach would be great if the opponent was Boycott's England, but it is a handicap when the other team is making all the batting plays and have bowling as disciplined as this. Look at his dismissals to Cummins this series; batted more than 100 deliveries on at least three occasions but kept getting out to unplayables. Where are the returns for all that time spent in the middle? The field remains in and the scoreboard stays comatose. Is it not the no.3's job to take care of those things also and make things easier for the guys below?
It's not lack of intent, it's Cheteshwar Pujara's method and it works for him
Pujara's philosophy is to spend more time in the middle to create more chances of scoring runswww.espncricinfo.com
Noone's calling for his head ftr. We've grown used to his style and it pays off against lesser attacks once he wears them down. It's just not going to work this series.
And yes, would love to see him stonewall his way to a draw here. Different situation, different demands.

How late was that decision, surely you know before that long?
Risky game from Rohit - positivity is a massive bonus if India are still 0 down at the close and have a good first session tomorrow - Australia not as able to solely go full out attack if an India win is still a possibility albeit slim. Get out soon though and questions will start again about Rohit as a Test opener away from home.

Yeah it really sounded weird, kind of soft.
