Was Boland picked above Hazlewood and Starc? If so, that's crazy.

Both Haze and Starc are injured

India should win by an innings here if they can get to 200. Chasing anything above 150 would be very tricky, but I don’t see any realistic way that they get a lead that high barring some Dravid/Laxman miracle.

Includes his whole career so he’s not on this list, but Uzzy opening is at like 80+ or something at home

As Rahane will point out - the reason for their decline in averages.

Murphy and Cummins were good. Bowled in good areas and were unlucky. Boland and Lyon didn't bowl as well in the third as they did in the second imo. Axar did play really well.

I guess this partnership is balancing out the down the leg side dismissals of Pujara and Kohli on long hops.

Supposedly Iyer is back next match so not even sure how he retains his place even if he has a good second innings.

I don't know if i'm reading too much into minor details here, but does anyone else feel like this AUS team have a habit of losing the plot when opposition counter attack/a few things don't go there way. Headingley 2019, the pak game in AUS when yasir shah made that ton and we kept dropping him, basically every test from the rahane drops in the second test of the last border gavaskar trophy, the second test of the pak series in pak where swepson had those Umpire's calls turned down and we forgot how to field after, the second test vs sri lanka where we had early momentum and didn't review one of chandimal that was out then lost the plot, even the 4th test of the 2021 ashes where we let bairstow and stokes counter attack in the 2nd dig. 3 years, 2 captains and 2 coaches but it feels like this same thing keeps on happening.

Yeah this. He is surely not going to play further in this test series. But if he needs to be back-up number one for future tests, he does need a good second innings.

Very good batting. However, next to no runs coming off balls of the right length. Typically they scored if dropped short or too full which was not common. It is why Murphy has been so good, he's barely erred in length at all. Doesn't seem a minefield by any stretch.

Nothing is certain with Uzzy, Smith and Marnus to dismiss and Warner always due a massive score also.
