hmmmmmmm... it was funny to see Border rant but I feel this is really what has gone wrong with Aussie cricket since Border era. Outside of the brief Mark Taylor era, it just seems like they equate being good at cricket with being **** as human beings. I know Border started it and Waugh was heavily influenced by it, and then the gen that came in around then was brought up in that environment that they reached new highs (lows?) under Ponting but also actually being one of the greatest ever sides assembled (both tests and ODIs).
To clarify, i don't mean that is how their selectors and admins etc see it but at a basic level, everytime they have played badly it's silly to see everyone just go "ah they r just being too friendly". I mean WTF? Y can't it just be they were not skilled enough in those games?

Its amazing that saltshakerz is saltier than Aussies about this loss.
Like most of his posts, it would be easy to laugh away at them if there weren't so ****ing many of them every damn page.

This is stupid from Border tbh
Smith was giving a thumbs up for himself than anyone else for not following the ball and the bowler bowling a good ball to beat the edge. That is what gets him going and helped him to score loads of runs. I mean if you want rip in to some one, there are obviously better candidates than the bloke who somehow remained not out at the end
I am probably a seamer short, but I'm not sure it would be Anderson as much as I love him. I might go for someone with a lower strike rate to give me aggressive bursts.

yeah McGrath and Warne. The difference is Australianness. Not you know, their ATG talent levels.
I'm not sure Border's comments hold any credence if I'm being honest.
The Aussies are the no 1 ranked test team in the world so they aren't doing much wrong.
Steve Smith giving the thumbs up to good deliveries isn't why the Aussies lost.
Playing top class spin on helpful wickets in India is very tough. Even Smith, probably the 2nd best batsmen in test history, struggled. He was bowled twice by Jadeja.
The brutal truth is that most of the Aussie batsmen simply haven't got the technique to play Ashwin and Jadeja in India - and nor for that matter has any other side in the world.

If India can replace Rahul and SKY with Gill and Iyer, I am sure India's top and middle order will get more runs.
Rohit
Gill
Pujara
Kohli
Iyer
Jadeja
Ashwin
Bharat
Axar
Shami
Siraj
Chuck in Pant for Bharat and it becomes an ATG lineup.

It really can’t be an ATG lineup when kohli and Pujara are in such woeful form
In fact, I’d say they’re the key for Australia to have any shot at competing in this series

I am certain Pujara and Kohli will get enough runs. They were a bit unlucky this match.

I'd go a step further and say not many in the history of the game is going to look fantastic playing that sort of bowling.
