Yes, but only because it means Amit Jaggernauth must never be forgotten.

Spark is his own optometrist I will have you know. Took time out one weekend this summer to learn the trade.

Agreed and they were also ahead in the first test but squandered it there as well. Imo, they need at least a lead of 150+, then we'll see what Oz is made of. I won't count Oz out; not when they have players like Smith but score board pressure is a thing and 150 + hole is intimidating. I'm glad nobody made a big deal of the dropped catches because india dropped a ton in the first test especially that of Tim Paine.

I just think the dispirited mindset of Australia in the last session was driven not just by the missed chances, but by the lack of confidence in their batting lineup.
Warner's absence is such a massive issue for them as there's no sense of authority at the top of the order and therefore the belief they can set a decent target for India to chase.

I would agree on Warner. I don't see anyone in India's bowling line up having the same power of Warner as Broad and Archer. And with one of Umesh / Siraj taking the new ball, can see Warner getting off to a few quick starts forcing the field to come out and early spin.

Of all their quicks he was the one who scared me most. Frighteningly quick and you were worried the batsman would end up hurt. Some bowler.

I like the way he hits the ball cleanly. He has disappointed me also I wish he would talk to Matt Hayden about his technique or vice versa.

Think all Indian fans will agree we still don't want to be chasing many more than 100. A little more confident now that a few guys have put their hands up but those opening spells by Cummins & co. remain touch and go. Some luck their way and we can easily be 20/5 again.

The pitch has flattened and is likely to wear. Frankly I would like India to establish a big lead to spark Australia's batting line up a couple of whom are too ****y for their own good.

Would be nice to hear stuff like this in commentary.

Pretty sure all those points were made by the current commentary team in some form or other at various junctures, just that their signal-to-noise ratio isn't the greatest.

I tuned them out when they compared Lyon to a 'breaststroker' and how he just has the easiest job.
