    4th Test at the Gabba, Brisbane, 15 - 19 Jan 2021

    Siraj is such a great find for us. Was utterly smart the way he bowled through the series. Not sold on Shardul, Natarajan as test bowlers atm. Also, Gill looks like a great find who can serve Indian cricket for years. I am also not at all sold about Rohit Sharma opening or in the middle order...

    FTR I love Hazelwood, have always liked Lyon from when he started his career and am a huge fan of Smith as a batsman. Any ways.. I am not sure how else to express maybe I am missing a beat here. Any ways.

    I dont have an issue with them bouncing Pujara etc at all.. it just seemed a bit odd as a plan to go on with it .. there seemed to be no other plan beyond a point.

    4th Test at the Gabba, Brisbane, 15 - 19 Jan 2021

    This is where I disagree.. they do need a true image make over, not an amazon documenetary to show they regret sa series etc. In a sense I agree its not easy for this bunch to do this but maybe it can be brought about in future generations.. I dont know I am unable to explain more clearly than...

    4th Test at the Gabba, Brisbane, 15 - 19 Jan 2021

    But of the tactics isnt working I can call it stupid too right? Can say they are doing it excessively for their own good.. See for me the whole demeanour of the aussie team sucks, to put it bluntly. They will try to do any thing to win and frankly I am not a fan. The current bunch with Smith...

    No. the whole attitude is just over macho bully boys. It worked earlier but bullying doesnt work any more. Take the paine sledge to ashwin.. all it did was spur india even more. Bullying worked v Srinath but beyond a point it is just stupid.

    As it was just a mindless barrage of short balls after a point. Didnt really work.

    Why does Australia always make a batsman captain.. how about Cummins or Hazelwood.. I wouldnt go back to Smith and I see this as the same team as during the SA series despite Lehmann going. Making an amazon documentary doesnt change the team and they do need a change moving forward.

    Why did they start bowling more short today after not bowling that much short early on in the day when it was not working for them..

    Sure make that cheating fellow the captain and let them play more angrily and in unsportsmanlike ways.. I dont support it. They need a changeover. When Brazil was smacked in the world cup, it was a time for reflection in the moment of crisis.

    Not really. Why was Smith removing Ashwin batting guard marks?

    4th Test at the Gabba, Brisbane, 15 - 19 Jan 2021

    Aussie team needs to reflect and change their dirty tactics. After SA they went through an image make over but it is the same ugly Aussie team. Bouncing, sledging and what not. Smith isnt the answer. It will just be a stinky path if they go down that road.

    4th Test at the Gabba, Brisbane, 15 - 19 Jan 2021

    If there was a 5th test, Kuldeep would have come in and taken some wickets. What a series.

    4th Test at the Gabba, Brisbane, 15 - 19 Jan 2021

    Every one kept trying and they won. Australia also kept trying. Cummims, Hazelwood were so good. Great series.

    4th Test at the Gabba, Brisbane, 15 - 19 Jan 2021

    A lot of the Indian players are coming off long ipls and have been away from their families. It was hardly easy for them. They played out of their skins and won.

    I still can't believe the inning Pujara played today. Kept taking blows, kept battling it out. Was just incredible to watch.
