Under 120 chase aus's Bowling missing Killing Instict, why pat not try himself when its matter most.

For india too only Pujara bats purposefully while Rohit run out/ Shreyas throw his wicket & Kohli whose average at Delhi 79 was Stumped out 1st time.

Its better to kill yourself than run out & Stumped out in tense situation.

Lost almost all of those matches!

Batting 1st vs Batting 2nd, the difference thesedays is small in terms of pitch conditions, unlike the previous era where the pitches were flat giving big advantage to team batting 1st.
Basically Indian bowling is on another level and opposition isn't batting usually more than Day 1 to really make the advantage count.

Next Test pitch should be like the one we used to have in 00 . If We are a good team , we should also be prepared to win on flat wickets.

This is a bad take imo. He played orthodox strokes and barely swept at all. His was one of the few wickets where you could say he was undone by a good ball he could do nothing about
Ya I was being mildly tongue in cheek but that approach will work for him and not everyone. Smith and the others can bat normally and they'll do alright instead of trying to reverse sweep and charge every other delivery which seemed to be what everyone decided had to happen today.
Australia have lost both matches in the head - no pun - and that's shown in their collapses. It's not wholly due to them being incompetent in handling the conditions.
