Even some of the sessions we are credited with 'winning' were underwhelming though. We couldn't get through an Indian team carrying injured players last test, and then couldn't get past a team that was supposed to be depleted through injury this match. The replacements played really well, and you could argue they benefitted from being fresh and were actually a stronger batting unit down to 8, but they were supposed to be the 'rejects' and we barely put a dent in them on the last day.
Was happy to see Siraj take 5. It was a well deserved reward for staying here when his dad died early In the tour.

Reckon the Indian team bonded way better over bed making and microwave cooking.

Langer is also done. Genuinely, his insecurities are going to manifest themselves among the team (if they haven't already). Just gets extremely defensive and tetchy when confronted about even the most minor indiscretions re.Australia's conduct
To me that fluke six off Sundar changed the game from a possible draw to a possible win.
It shows how much of a mental game cricket is, probably Washington Sundar had no anxiety and tried to take on Cummins as if it's a domestic t20 league.
It could have ended in the wrong side but luck was on his side today.

Me too. That six changed the momentum because following that was the edge over the slips and then the Lyon over with the "doosra".

Was sort of worried for a moment it was simmering out after a couple of tight overs prior.
As soon as he hit that, it was on and the only choice was victory.

I wouldn't call that six a fluke - he middled it and the slash for 4 over slips next ball was flukier - but those 2 balls definitely changed the tone of the game. You could see it in how much more confident Pant was immediately after. Things were nervy and those blows settled them for India
Fine margins at this level.
All teams need one Pujara, others like today can bat around him.
If he hadn't done what he did today, I reckon they lose.

A lot of the Indian players are coming off long ipls and have been away from their families. It was hardly easy for them. They played out of their skins and won.

Yeah this. I mean an attack of
Siraj, Saini, Thakur, Natarajan and Sundar
vs
Starc, Haze, Cummins and Lyon.
10 years down the line people will be perplexed as to how this happened just as much as we are now. It's not like there was a stark difference in the batting abilities of both teams.
The way he played that shot for six did not seem pre meditated to me, after hitting that six he followed up with lofted shots which were by far the riskiest things you can do in tests, clearly showed he wasn't well settled yet.
