The way this series has gone has shown more about australias batting issues.
By all rights with how decimated India have been we should of swept this series

Yeah, their fast bowling is top notch but overall Australia aren't as good as I thought they were coming into this series.

 

[morgieb]

He’s just too good.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah we boned

 

[GoodAreasShane]

That was an absolute ripsnorter. Pretty much unplayable

 

[Burgey]

If I had a cerebral deficit like sunilz or Senile Sentry, I would say “ah, like australia last series without its two best batsmen then?!?! Eh?! Eh?!?!”

But fwiw I agree. They’ve done really well.

But now they’re really ****ed

 

[trundler]

Pat Cummins wins the battle of attrition!

This opening spell has been *chef's kiss*

Well it's definitely true. But Australia lost that series. At home. AGainst an Asian side for the first time in their entire history. So that's pretty bad.

And India still can lose the series, but so far they are competitive.

 

[Spark]

Cummins may or may not be an ATG overall but he surely has to be an ATG line bowler, right? It's difficult to imagine that anyone could be more relentless and consistent on that off stump line than he is.

Warner injured hurt but wade should never have opened bless his sole battled hard.
Our middle order is a real issue.
Head needs to go back to shield and work on outside off
Wade I think is a placeholder until something better comes along
Green will take time.

If your relying on smith and warner to win you every test match with the bat your in trouble

 

[Coronis]

Jeez that was close

Even though India has been on the receiving end, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching these guys bowl. It's been so good. Even these bouncers I'm cheering because it's such high-quality bowling.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Pujara will have his chance to grind away all he wants in the last dig.

 

[vicleggie]

Very low chance India score more than 250 from here. I'm surprised they're even semi-competitive without 3/4 of their top fast bowlers and by far their best batsman.

Which quicks are ou referring to?

 

[marcus1232]

Which quicks are ou referring to?

Shami, Ishant, yadav i believe

 

[Burgey]

Cummins has really had Pujara’s number this tour. That’s not a drag on Che at all, it’s just like Cummins has recognised he’s the plumb wicket and had just gone hard AF at him all series

 

[harsh.ag]

Cummins has been godly this innings

 

[aussie tragic]

Reminder that India have lost 5-48, 5-21 and 5-32 in the 3 completed innings played this series

Yeah, and most of them have been great balls. Warne was saying Pujara was stuck on the crease but really, no one couldve played that.

 

[Niall]

I think Warne said Pandya should bat top 5 for India test team.
