Well it is safe to say i was waaaaaaay wrong about the pitch, runs are very hard to come by, you won't see a team fail to score 200 hundred in a day out here too often. Well done to travis, he looked solid out there.

Facing a first innings deficit which is fkn demoralising after indians struggle to 250.
Looking like a 4 day test the way the pitch is playing.
Marsh is still quality. Very inconsistent and frustrating the last couple of years!
Finch got bowled 3rd ball.
Poor shot but give him the series before serious judgement.
Hope he comes good!

That's not the pitch - its the shit batting that is plaguing test cricket at the moment.

I like a good bat v ball contest, but it has swung back to the bowlers again.

I don’t see Paine going from captain to out of the team in a year unless he has a massive dip in form or does a trash job of captaincy but so far I have been impressed with what he has done!! But love that there is no Marsh or Finch in that team both guys are a myth in test cricket

So Marsh breaks the record for most single digit innings in a row in test cricket, can we drop him now please ffs? I might have to start calling him Trump, the way nothing seems to get him sacked.

And Finch isnt up to it either. We are struggling with the bat because they wont drop players who arent scoring runs. I find it hard to believe, that even with Smith and Warner out, they cannot find any more good batsmen in this country

There goes a good start with 2 or 3 wkts!
Effectively 0/66.
If they set us over 250 we are done

We're cooked, but missing smith and warner are massive losses
Best bat in the world, and the other bloke can take the game away from you in 10 overs

Game slowly slipping away. Great session by India.

If Auatralia cant get India at Michelle by stumps it's probably Red Rover.
