    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    Wow that's a big wicket and a really silly way to get out right now. India on top still but just opens the door a bit given the lead is still fairly big. Mostly psychological I think, such a big difference between a wicketless session and that.

    Looks not out.

    They might have to drop Haze and pick O'Keefe just to have an ATG tail batting lineup. Starc, Cummins, Pattinson, O'Keefe.

    Geez that was close as well.

    God that's some effort from Cummins. Could be a really special player. Fantastic spell.

    The best post. edit: Happened both innings in the second test but not in Pune. Only bowled a 7th over once there though.

    213 if he is not out at the end.

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    It's pretty clearly his best IMO, even if he fails in the 4th test and Australia lose the series. The only comparable one is the home series against India where he made 4 centuries and made the most runs for any batsman in a 4 test series. But this has been more challenging/variable conditions...

    That was pretty close I think. Might have reviewed it personally. edit: Big edge, good decision.

    You're right, I forgot about that game in SL where he faced almost 200 balls across the two innings or whatever it was. I remember Gillespie playing a purely defensive innings like that when Australia won in India in 2004 that was super important.

    O'Keefe definitely "can bat" based on his FC record but I don't think I've ever seen him make any runs. Would be a nice time for it.

    Big wicket right before lunch, that one. Felt like Australia were well on top, now it's plausible Australia could be all out for 450ish which is a solid score but nothing crazy. Interested to see how Cummins goes. Really rate him as a batsman but haven't seen him play quality spin really...

    So what has Rahane done wrong that results in bagging him so much here? Has he captained a lot previously and been poor or something? I feel like he's been fine in this test since Kohli went off. Guess he could have bowled Ashwin a bit earlier and maybe started with a third man rather than...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    I think in Australian conditions you'd want to be increasing the scoring rate after lunch, and "intent" might make some sort of sense. But that's probably less true here as you really wouldn't even think about declaring until much later in the day based on the idea that the pitch will likely...

    Wow yeah, definitely bounced. Nice to see no appeal then, I guess. Bit weird how there seems to be no other camera angles.

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    Haha, the "YES! YES!" in the background there for the misfield. Do we not have any other angles for the catch there? The front on angle looks like a catch but it's not very conclusive either way.

    God that's a good shot. Was just looking a bit uncomfortable too.

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    That stat about Smith being the first Australian captain to score two hundreds in India has been getting a lot of play, so I was curious about the most runs for a visiting Australian captain in India in a series, in case it was under threat. Turns out Kim Hughes scored 594 runs in a series with...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    Haha I thought that was going to be caught for a second there. Not the most comfortable stay on 99 but a great innings. A great effort just to score a century on his return in a career making scenario, but to do it against India, coming in with the team in trouble is a hell of a lot harder than...

    Good call. I was having a look and it seems pretty rare. Last one I can see involving Australia was the tour of Sri Lanka in 1999 which Sri Lanka won 1-0 with a fair bit of rain.
