    Spin all rounders will be better than Reddy at MCG and SCG.

    Thought so.

    There were alot of LBWs last match. None this match. Everything is going over except the very full deliveries.

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    Agreed. Inexcusable shots. Half volley in Adelaide isn't exactly a half volley in Brisbane given the difference in bounce. Surely Gill and Kohli while in the field, would have seen the ball consistently going over the stumps even from 6m length. Yet they showed no adjustment to this extra...

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    India choosing to bowl first might be the reason that saves them the match. Because quickest way to lose a rain affected match is by batting first and getting bowled out cheaply in 1st inns. For reference, see the Adelaide test (less than 180 overs). On the other hand, if you make the...

    The sooner Kohli and Rohit retire the better. And pretenders like Gill need to be dropped and return to domestic cricket to relearn how to build an innings.

    Then you deserve 1-1 after this match.

    Australia really should've declared on 350/360, India might've been bowled out already (or be close to it) and looking to follow on.

    Australia will 100% enforce the follow on given that there will be hardly any extended sessions of bowling and because India will get rolled for less than 150 or 200.

    India's 1st innings batting record is getting worse. I don't think they have scored 250+ even once this season and this is their 8th match.

    Odds right now- Australia - 3.25 Draw 1.36 I think it should be closer to even stevens given what we have seen from India thus far. They can be bowled out twice in 80/90 overs.

    Horrendous. This test might get over today itself.

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    The only thing they need to do is bat time and forecast may take care of the rest. But instead they want to be "aggressive" (reckless) and be bowled out for 190 in 45 overs again. Shocking approach so far.

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    You have already lost a wicket and need to see off the new ball and there is no need to score any runs, just need to bat time and Gill plays that dumb shot so wide outside off. It's inexcusable.

    Pathetic batting. Those were nothing deliveries. I suppose these batters can't cope with the steep bounce generated by the tall Aus bowlers on this bouncy track. Need to leave balls on length alone.

    Good to see Bumrah only bowling 3 overs today. Jadeja is looking trash. I doubt he'll get picked for next test.

    1-1 and India will be happy. India hasn't lost at either MCG or SCG since 2011/12

    No downside to declaring at 350/360. Australia couldn't lose with around 5 sessions left in the match. But they could have gone hard at the tired Indian openers and had two cracks with the new ball. I wouldn't have been surprised if Australia had created a winning possibility out of that situation.

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    Bumrah didn't bowl any overs in the last hour yesterday. And he only bowled 19 overs yesterday in 4 spells. India are using him sparingly. Not to mention there is a 8 day gap between this match and MCG. So putting miles in the legs will be more useful next match as MCG and SCG are back to back...

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    Even if India get rolled, it will still likely be a draw as Australia will probably bat again, eat up more time. However if they enforce the follow-on after ind collapse, then Aus have a chance. There's 4-6 sessions left. Odds Aus 3.40 Draw 1.35 IMO Australia should have declared at 350/360...
