Let’s remember, only one team can win this series.

India hold the trophy, so if they win, its a drawn series and they retain it. This is why Australia cannot afford to lose.

If Australia somehow take it to day four (unlikely), it does become a remote (stress remote) possibility.

I can’t see a world where we chase the runs down.

I know that. But they can’t win the series. Their behaviour and the behaviour of some fans and officials in this series has been appalling and childish. I think they need to be reminded that they’re in no position to win.

McDonalds presser was a joke right aha, talking about making sure Konstas was ok because the indians itimiated him at the non-strikers end, he is an adult, if he wants to try get aggressive and get under bumrahs skin by walking at him with his chest puffed, then he can expect it back; or, nah, you cant say anything back because 'he's 19'

You’re completely wrong. If an Australian team acted the way the Indian players did on the last ball of day 1 the cricket world would be melting.

A reaction from the Indians, he provoked and caused.
Again, sending your coach to say poor me I am only 19 they're mean bullies is another example of a player that is putting up a brave tough guy front.

Caused how? By batting aggressively? By encouraging the crowd to support him/us? By standing his ground when shoulder-charged? By sticking up for a teammate and his opening partner when Bumrah was being an aggressive hypocrite?
Anyway, McDonald’s presser wasn’t about Sam - he was just very diplomatically telling the world that the Indians are behaving like dog *****.

I'd say abusing Bumrah 30 seconds earlier played a part. You keep proving my point- they're dogs but little innocent perfect Sam just a 19-year-old kid who wants to play cricket. He can say whatever he wants to Bumrah but if Bumrah dares says anything back he's a mean man.

I just rewatched the final over of day 1.
I didn’t see Konstas engage with Bumrah at all until Bumrah goes at Khawaja for not being ready to face up. I don’t know what unprovoked abuse you’re referring to.

Funny story Bumrah is allowed to bowl, he also allowed to put his hands in the air frustrated when the batsman is stuffing around wasting time. Konstas taking it on himself to march towards the bowler and tell him what he thinks when Bumrah isn't even near him or talking to him is the unprovoked bit.
As a result of that the Indians are then allowed to do the same thing back to Konstas one ball later.

Kohli ran 40 meters out of his way to yell in the face of Konstas the test after walking out of his way to shoulder charge the bloke.. it’s not a matter of trying to protect a 19 year old here it’s that the biggest name in world cricket is so insecure he’s acted like a fucking pelican two tests in a row

Ran and yelled at him after Sam yelled at his bowler- tell the whole story.

Sorry- Perfect polite Sam just said hey mate, Uzzie needs a second let's just all wait man. By the way what are you doing for tea tonight?
Bumrah the violent man just went crazy with expletives and rude aggressive behaviour. Threatening to kill his family tonight.
Sam was seen after the game saving a burning orphanage while holding puppies.

Bumrah was trying to rush Uzzie and K supported his partner.
For Bumrah, Kohli and Co to turn and go out of their way to get in K’s face proves they are hypocritical douche nozzles.
If the Aussies even did something similar the cricket world would lose their shit.
They already dug through the archives to compare something Pontjng did decades ago to what Kohli did.
First time I’ve agreed with Macca about diplomatically calling out the Indians
