Pujara wears a few.
A few Aussies could benefit from playing like him, all guts and determination, can play a bit as well.

 

[Carter]

A decent Aussie side. No more, no less.

4-5 weak links.

Harris, Warner (cooked), Wade, Paine, Starc.

These guys can’t get us to the next level.

i don't think a decent side has 4-5 weak links, an average side might ..
agree with the outs, particularly Wade who is a liability and should go back to the bush
i hope India win this

Ashwin would be rolling through the lineup on this deck. Its got everything a good offie wants, spin and variable bounce. You just need to get the ball in the correct spots. Lyon is bowling better now, he still has plenty of time to roll through them.

Bit harsh on Hazlewood, 200 wickets in six years. The four specialist bowlers have more than a thousand Test wickets between them. The Indians have been tough but there's no way our bowlers aren't good enough to bowl us to a win on the last day, two games running. Who are the bowling coaches? Maybe the COVID cuts have taken a toll.

 

[Baloo]

Gill averaging over 50 in his first series, away from home. 21yo and seemingly with a huge future.

Yeah, but look who he's playing against.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Paine bluffed, Australia stuffed.

 

[Tigers of Old]

The Indians are going for the win. Pretty awesome to watch.

Pant is, Pujara playing the odds, he'll support him to the win, or shut up shop if a couple of wickets fall.

 

[MD Jazz]

What the hell is the field to Pant off Lyon??? Surely we are trying to win the game. We don't win and they retain the series, surely we dare to win?

Can't have Stoinis, nearly 32, averages 32 with the bat and 40 with the ball at First class level. McDermott averages 34 after 6 years of FC cricket. Not sold on him either.
Oh for the days of Stuart Law, The Husseys, Siddons, Hodge who would walk into any other side at the time, Bugger all depth in batting.

unbelievable. got to attack. Cracking test match though

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

23 overs left, 7 wickets. India would need to self-destruct.

 

[MD Jazz]

Lyon cannot land the ball in dangerous spots often enough. This is very typical of his 5th day bowling.

too many balls to far outside off.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Pant is seeing it like a balloon. Making early decisions and getting them right.

 

[mrposhman]

Could be an interesting next 5-10 overs. Pant is clearly going to try and accelerate the scoring, he's already doing it. If he gets out then I think they will play for the draw but whilst he's there it will be some entertaining cricket. His first task is to get the required run rate below 4.

Not sure he needs to. If Pant's still there and it comes to say, 30 from 4 overs, they'll get them.

 

[spook]

69 off 15, surely India wins.
