Australia vs India - Test Series

Australia has really thrown away an excellent start this morning.
 
India making it look easy out there now, hope the bowlers bowl really well because as usual, half the top 6 threw it away and have given the momentum entirely back to India.
 
The Indian openers are not looking troubled at all.
 
Just one of the first 28 balls would've hit the stumps. Might be part of the reason

If you have a vaunted pace attack with four of them and two are off the pace, give it to the other two, don't waste the new ball.

Starc didn't look on at all
 
India is just too good for this Australian side, plain and simple.. our batting is held together by Steve Smith and some sticky tape and while we may have the slightest edge in the bowling department, it’s effectively cancelled out by the fact we cannot bat.

the only way Australia wins this series is by muscling it’s way through with something similar to what our bowlers produced in Adelaide.. we can’t stand toe to toe with India and grind it out over five days..our batting just won’t allow that

This is a great pitch for batting.

With cloudy skies the odds on a draw are surely shortening by the minute.

You are giving way too much credit to Australia's batting.

How nice it would be to have batsmen like this who aren't afraid to swing the bat.

As much as our batting sucks India will need at least another 3 sessions to get ahead. Add another session or two to build a lead of 150-200.

Throw in a few intermittent showers and barring another all out for 36, I think a draw is pretty likely.
 
Watching Australia bat feels way too much like watching the Heat.

Its a flip of the coin.................... so either they all just fall in a heap or a couple of them get lucky and manage a decent score propping up the rest of them.

lol, within a couple of hours of being 2-205 we’re praying for rain to help get a draw.. only this Australian team....
