yeah this aussie side looks pretty ordinary and i don't see them doing well in this series.pretty dissapointing to collapse like they did.

great fightback from Starc 53 not out now.

yes he did well,but 260-280 wont be enough for these indian batters.india will bat for a day-2 days and then bowl out the aussies for less than 200 to win going away.lol

aus ≠ poms

No need to worry for those who backed 4-0 and 3-0 imo (like me).... looking at the aussie line up, barring Smith and Warner, none of the "top" order have played against India in India with any success... then comes the Aussies turn to bowl... Lyon thrives on turn and bounce (as does any offie) not going to happen on a dying sub continent pitch, O'Keefe (trying to establish himself, although experienced at domestic level) does not have much international experience. The Indians will get after him, so they have no hope imo... (obviously I am biased lol)

Looks like you spot on and maybe could finish inside three but India is the one on the ropes!!!!

Renshaw got a taste of India yesterday

O'Keefe was unhappy about your comment so he decided to put you in your place :lol:

So Australia take a 155 lead. Only one result possible now unless India bowl the Aussies out for around 120

Commentators reckon 260 will be hard to chase

Yes that does look the case. I hope that the Aussies win which will then make the rest of the series very exciting to watch. India are brilliant at home when they are in front and will be great to see if they can pick themselves up and give Aussies a fight

1-0 Australia with 3 to play

by preparing a shit pitch like this, India sealed their own fate - it brings the 2 teams closer together and negates India's strong batting.
Aus were never going to bowl as badly as England and New Zealand, allowing them to score 4 runs/over.
India are not out of it - 4/1 still a good price about their chances

Morkel in the squad for the test series in NZ
