Surely Lyon throwing the ball like that is a bigger deal than what Jamieson did?

TBF they're still well ahead in the game. Bhajji denying the Plucky Kiwis a rare win in India in 2010 was a closer comparison.

And once again a sure sign that the team is succumbing to frustrations rather than trying to control them.
Talent-wise, this Aus side has it in spades. But they are very much deficient on the mental side of the game IMO.

Nah, I've been hearing this nonsense about Australia's bowling never getting the blame when they underperform for years now. Maybe its a reaction to those people who blame the bowlers even when the batsmen stink it up but its weird. 369 is perfectly acceptable if sub par considering the opposition bowling. Letting sundar and shardul get 60 each is flat out terrible. Dont want to take anything away from the batting pair because they've been superb, but they should be able to get them out cheaper.

Wade literally hit an aleready hobbling Vihari twice in the previous test doing just that.

Probably because Paine would like a wicket.

Leadership is a force multiplier. Its obviously a failure of leadership that Australia were unable to even get to 400 on this pitch first innings against a C grade attack. It's a failure of leadership that such talented bowlers can't go for less than 4 an over. It's a failure of leadership that Australia have a habit of letting the game drift.

This is correct. 370 wasn't a great score but it was by no means a bad one either. When you have the opposition 6/180, you have to finish the job, not assume the job is finished and assume they'll all get out because they're random no-namers you haven't seen before.

There's definitely a different apparent mood in the team which seems to suit them better than Kohli's ultra intensity. Not a large sample but it seems to suit them much more.

I don't think it really explains the last two Tests, but I do think it's fair to say that most of Australia's poor performances in recent history has more come down to **** batting than **** bowling.
And anyway at the time lots of people were saying 369 was still a missed opportunity. I'm not sure scoring 500 would've helped - certainly not now - but it certainly hasn't helped.
