Great effort Australia. This team is turning into a really determined and pretty versatile outfit. Good signs.

EAD Kohli.

Man! I am so happy with this performance from Australia. I know I was all 'woe is me' only yesterday, but that is only because I can't remember them being able to fight out a draw where they needed to bat the whole last day. I am happier with this draw than with the win in game 1.

What a f'in series. One test to go, Winner takes all, and a draw (now that Australia has figured out how to do it) means we retain the Border/Gavaskar Trophy.
Yep, loving this series.

IF India can pull it off, it would be the sweetest series win in a long time. Same goes for Australia as well obviously. The last game should be a cracker.

I feel like the Australian selectors have done such a good job this series that there simply has to be a farcical ****up for the 4th test to ruin everything. Something like: they scout the pitch as a green top 3 days out from the game, call up Pattinson and Sayers for his debut and go with an all-pace attack, then it turns out to be a dustbowl and Steve Smith bowls 30 overs in the 4th innings as India chase down 300 to win.

Being remade in Smith's image, one thinks. We've all wondered how we'd go if a few other Aus cricketers had his application, he might be putting together a team which has exactly that.

In the words of Paul Keating, this is the sweetest victory of them all. And it wasn't even a victory.

Absolutely huge.

Seriously impressive test match though.. Australia's ability to keep bowling well when wickets looked impossible was so good.. Cummins is such an amazing player. Combines ridiculous ability with Siddle's heart.

think of how much more time they could have spent looking at the big chicken had Kohli not been a ****

Absolutely. He has embraced how big a series win here would be.. Put the pressure on himself by saying that they should win if he performs well.. Tells the world and the team that statements like "If I don't play like this, I won't be Shakib" are just not acceptable. And he ****ing backs it up.. No wonder everybody has bought into his ideas.

Missed this mornings play as at a job interview but looks like a good result for both sides and should be an entertaining last match. Looking forward to it some.

Also, how much do I love that Warner is now literally the worst batsman in the side. My endless harping about his overseas record is finally being widely noted. Petty but satisfying.

Second time in two days I've made a joke that I was sure one and only one person would get because it was about their own posts, and it turns out I remember their posts better than them. Couldn't make it up.
this isn't even my posting, it's my twitter bio
