Man, Cummins is a lion.

Always the man they look towards. The bowling averages of the series tell the story for Australia.

Hazlewood - 16 wickets at 19.5
Cummins - 20 at 20.2 (not sure if this includes that last one)
Starc - 11 wickets at 40.7
Lyon - 8 wickets at 59.1

No-one else has taken a wicket in the 4 test matches.

I knew Starc had underperformed this series, didn’t realise Lyon had done worse!

Is 10 overs the min or max overs remaining, or do they play to 7 regardless? If they play till 7 then potentially there is more than 10 overs left

Remarkable series by the Indians. Would be a fairytale win if they can get there

They've been very good. When Kohli said he was only playing 1 of the 4 and they lost that one, no-one would have given them a chance to be playing for the series win in the final hour of the last day

15 in the last hour but if they bowl the 15 before the hour they keep going. No way Australia will let that happen though.

Yeah you know they will slow it down unless they get a wicket in the next 1 or 2. Probably more than 10 overs though, you usually get 12-13 in an hour.

Labuschagne was in close at mid-off, cost a 4 to Sundar in Cummins' previous over. He drops back and Sundar hits one that would have lobbed in his bread basket, then hits the next ball for 6.

If India wins it's because they have dared to. Australia hasn't.

Gotta do what McGrath did to Chris Cairns in a 4th innings chase early this century: wide yorkers every ball.
