Been proven so wrong this session! It's the intent that makes the difference! Now they are trying to hit 4s and they are doing so comfortably. You lot have been blowing your own horns all match and have been proven wrong regarding literally everything.
There's a difference between a comment on the state of play and a prediction. This is ungainly posting.

He wasn't wrong though. You're just overreacting to events.

the team personality that cummins has struggled so much to build is at risk of falling apart if ashwin comes out to bat and starts having a few words with the fielders near him

He's not just overreacting he's wrong. India have tried to hit a few more boundaries now because they're in a position where it's tough for them to lose the match even if collapse happens.

Kohli didn't just decide to be aggressive because he saw centurymaker's post on Cw about how stupid he was for batting slow.

Yeah it a bit of a stretch to suggest blokes just decided to block for four days for the sake of it.

I know he's wrong, but didn't feel like adding on to it beyond reminding him not to be easily swayed.

That and they've done the hard yards in grinding Australia out. Remember Green did a similar thing in the first innings.

I think you can plausibly criticise Smith for being so defensive, but occam's razor suggests that this is just a tough wicket to score quick on.

Aus bowlers have been cooked, plus this is the best time of the day to score plus Kohli’s gotten the psychological pressure of getting a 100 off his back.
It is the intent. Pitch plays a part, field settings play a part but intent is most important. India didn't have the intent (draw is enough), neither did Australia hence both teams batted slow. Intent came along and runs started flowing.

Even in these slow and low conditions you can bat at 3.5+ rpo.

You must believe Bazball can conquer any wicket then right?

Intent is not the most important. All the intent can't help you when the ball isn't coming on well enough to reliably knock around all over. Pitch and bowling are far more influential than intent, since intent can't force bowlers to bowl like **** all the time.
