the SL tour as its spin friendly. that could be his final series. 4 tests here, all 4 tests 100% ineffective. Todd murphy will be the main frontline spinner for Aus for the next 5-7 years. He was already reasonable and tidy in his appearances so far - 21 wickets at an AVE of 25.4. We cant afford to have the main spinner not performing especially on a 5th day pitch.

True. But if they do make it to tea 3 or 4 down they might have enough batting in the bank to have a proper go and then anything could happen.

At tea they needed 145 runs with 7 wickets in hand at the Gabba. I don't think India can get that close at Tea here. Depends on how quickly and successfully India can get on a roll.

Maybe , but a wicket or two they may close up shop. Washy and even Jadeja aren't the most destructive of test batsmen, and sure NKR is due a flop?

If they score 100 runs in an hour (so going at about 7rpo) then yeah that'll certainly change things
Ashes at home, hes playing at home here and hes not doing anything. going at 4 RPO as well.
yep thats the main issue. the main destructive players are here now, with NKR. Washy and jadeja are mixed batters- defence combined with selective offense.

Cummins bowling better off spinners than Lyon.
Guess he can continue as an offie in the SL series.

That ball there is an actual offcutter @Starfighter as opposed to what commentators used to call offcutters

No.
So with 37 overs left with this ball - Australia will have about ~10 overs with the second new ball? Assuming india make it that far, hopefully they’ll have at least 3 wickets in hand to navigate that.

An Aussie win.

Then why not promote the man in form up to number 6. And he's a right hander which is good to mix with a lefty. But Rohit is the captain so yeah nah

They shouldn’t.
