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.

I agree. India are the holders. A drawn series doesn’t help us. Show some balls and go for it.

Wade’s spot is now untenable surely. The only I see him getting on the plane to South Africa if it goes ahead is as the backup keeper.

Yep, he hasn't been up to it.

He's very average with the gloves, I wouldn't take him as a back up keeper.

Is it time for Australia vs India to be played over 5 tests? I know some people think that 5 test series should only be reserved for the single biggest test series in world cricket, The Ashes. But I think the Australia vs India rivalry is at the point now where it can be put on the pedestal near or next to our rivalry with England. Besides, a 4 test series seems so......strange.

What do you guys think?

The ACB has been pushing for it for a while now but the BCCI isn't keen. Too many commitments for their players and their season coincides with ours unfortunately.

The reason it works so well with the Poms, apart from history, is the fact our seasons don't clash.

I agree with you though, would love to see it. Both here and when we go there.

Why can't we edit in here?

Anyway, we would have known the forecast for tomorrow. I'm really quite disappointed in the lack of urgency today, not good enough for a team needing the win.

This bowling attack as a unit is proving it’s not what many thought it to be.

Agree he can't justify his position

What's the status with Handscomb ? how's Form with bat and gloves?

we certainly could have a used an extra test against India this series as it looks like the trophy is staying with them

FFS sake bring them in already Tim!

Prob didn't wanna risk losing the series even if it meant not winning the trophy plus our bowling attack has been struggling on day 5 pitches for whatever reasons

This bowling attack as a unit is proving it’s not what many thought it to be.

We deadset need a full 5 days to bowl this Indian team out twice
