I'm a big Matty Wade fan but he's gotta go. Doesn't have the temperament for Test match cricket, too many brain explosions.

Who would you replace him with?

Good question. Doubt they go to SA so there's plenty of time to worry about that.
Yeah scored 45 was looking good but threw away his wicket.

Does it far too often I'm afraid.
Would love to see Green score a few, definitely have a man crush on him!

Credit to these young Indian bowlers, they’re embarrassing some of these Aussie batsmen. Some of these dismissals have been absurd.

How much did you put on it? I still think we will win mate if weather doesn’t impact the rest of the game but certainly no sure thing

I didn't mind Payne when he came into a tough situation a few years back having to take over from Smith and he did his best to make it work. But he has turned out to be an average batsman and an average keeper and his captaincy is somewhat uninspiring and at times questionable
The sledging and petty mind games against the Indians is embarrassing, swearing at the umpire ect doesn't set a good tone for the rest of the team. also shows the aussies are worried if they have to resort to that sorta crap, they need to put their heads down and back themselves by how they play the game
Then there's the other **** like Smith making marks on the pitch to try throw out the batsmans guard
Yea I know alot of past aussie teams were infamous for sledging and it's kinda part of the game at this level but they usually backed it up with their performances on the field
I don't think Smith should be captain again but there arn't alot of genuine candidates to stand up either and it doesn't usually go to a bowler (i.e. vice captain Cummins)

They were saying at one point they could be Australia’s best ever... Starc & Lyon not pulling their weight

Starc's useless if he's not taking wickets, doesn't maintain pressure at all.

Right, all out and we have a lead of 33.
Let's see how fair dinkum we are. We need to win this Test, only two days left and showers forecasted.
Need to be reasonably aggressive.

That seemingly only bowl a yorker when the sun and moon are in perfect alignment and then go back to outside off or bouncing short stuff - was almost starting to get shades of ben stokes innings at heddingly. our bowlers are quality and consistent but sometimes their plans and type of bowling they dish out is bizarre and not suited but those 2 Indian newbies in the middle/lower order really did do a remarkable job and had a lot of luck a long the way on a pitch that wasn't offering much movement for the bowling side to work with
Davey Warner has lasted longer than a few overs so that's a good start. looks to be hitting it well in addition. Harris being conservative towards the end of the days play is good but he still makes me nervous, don't know how long he will hang around tomorrow have a feeling Warner might go OK for a change though
I think this will go down as an epic series between these 2 counties, India have been really gutsy and stubborn not letting us get away in a game. respect. such a massive shame rain is going to ruin it. 2 rain effected days is not enough time for Aus to build a decent lead and then bowl India out (which we have struggled with lately)
Cummins is quality and all but Hazelwood is the one who holds our bowling attack together - is the leader IMO

We need to treat this as a ODI now, can't be fart arsing around getting your eye in.
Need to get a lead of say 280-300 in 50 overs and declare. Wet weather coming later today and tomorrow, we have to go all out here.
If we lose going down swinging, then so be it.
