Here's one for ya: Tim Paine is a good leader but a sh!t captain.
On another tangent, India and other countries have made great use of the 'A' system, giving developing cricketers a chance to experience foreign conditions and international competition. We could also run an A series alongside the Test summer. India could have brought a few extra players (and sent for reinforcements) - I'd watch.

See: Paine, Tim.
Poor batting by Rahane. Got away with it twice but third time's a charm.
Maddinson was a highly regarded Test prospect as a youngster.
He is one of the young batsmen in Aussie cricket who I reckon have somewhat been ruined by the hit and giggle game, he lost his way and has struggled to get back, he himself said he's had mental health issues after falling away and losing his confidence in what he was doing.
There's been a few though.
Renshaw and Heazlett are other young batsmen who've seem to have bogged themselves more recently also due to it.
They really arent bash cricketers, well don't strike me as real hit and giggle sloggers in the mold of a Lynn or Big Show or Stoinis.
Maybe I'm wrong, but ive lost my interest in Cricket like most other things these days and don't really pay much attention anymore.
Australia's world class bowling attack is having real trouble getting this understrength Indian team out.
This doesn't help from the captain..

Would they even have appealed? No one seemed interested so may not have mattered.
Paine is an average gloveman now - are there stats kept on missed chances by keepers?
Yeh, noticed that, but there was no one in the slips cordon rising nor did Paine go after it as though it had been gloved. And Starc showed no emotion. I'm pretty sure they didn't think it was gloved.
Some pretty impressive courage and resilience being shown by India's batsman in this series. In the past they would have crumbled under the pressure. One man more than any other is responsible for instilling the aggression and steel to the Indian game - Kohli.
Given their obvious depth hard to see them not being a major force for a long time to come.

Yeh, or just bowl at the stumps when the tail is in? Too often bowlers get caught up bowling too short at the tail for too long.
