I'm at work so not able to watch.

Is the pitch playing easier than yesterday? If so, do we need a 300 lead?

Couple of wickets in an over just now.

We already have enough ILHO. Still doing plenty.

No, it ain't. Quite a few keeping low, some taking off. 300 should be a winning lead.

Huge knock from Ussie. They’ve dried up his run-scoring, but a very disciplined innings.
I was about to write the same thing. A century would be well deserved and make him the team's premier batsman (albeit not hard in this lot).

Bugger, just jinxed the guy!
 
Interesting stat about Lyon.
When going down the list of Australia's highest Test wicket takers, he is currently fourth behind Warne, McGrath and Lillee.
But his average is 31.77 and you have to go as far down to Mike Kasprowicz in 32nd place on 113 wickets before you find someone with a higher average - and the next 7 have a better average, too.
 
The bits of the Tests I’ve watched on Fox, I have enjoyed the commentary , except for Mark Waugh , pretty ordinary bloke I reckon , ABs a legend

India 4/55 needing 232 more to win. Kohli back in the sheds. Garry is 2/3.

Looking good!

Garry’s nickname should be Nathan. One will be an all time great, the other an above average footballer for a few seasons.

31 (and falling) is a very good average for an offie, especially one who plays half his cricket in Australia. Hard place to bowl offspin, which is why we've had relatively few. Murali averaged 75 here.
 
Hilarious banter from Paine to Vijay about Kohli: "I mean I know hes your captain but you seriously cant like him as a bloke"
