If we don't win this test series 3-1 i will be disappointed
Lets face it India are not that great
3-0 loss TO NZ ( Admittedly on pitches with ball turning sideways )
Played great in Perth ( thanks to Jaiswal 161 and our weak top 3 )
Thrashed in Adelaide
Would have lost in Brisbane if no rain
Now the wheels falling off in Melbourne

Hard to know where its gone so wrong for India. Think our guys were a bit underdone coming into Perth. Maybe the lack of prep in the leadup has been justified with how strongly they seem to be finishing the series
 
Don't know what they are having for lunch
Session 1 ( 1-112 )
Session 2 ( 1-64 )
Session 3 ( 4-135 l
Session 4 ( 1-143 )
Session 5 ( 2-7 ) at the moment

Sessions 2 & 5 are post lunch sessions LOL
 
Rohit needs to drop himself. I couldn’t help but laugh the other day when he was sitting next to Ashwin as Ashwin announced his retirement. He has more left in the tank than Rohit does.

In a way. Leaving your run late means you are partially reliant on the weather though.
Much prefer they prepared properly to go hard from day 1 in Perth.

Is it just me or has Skull’s personality long jumped the shark?

He knows his shite when it comes to cricket, young players coming through in every discipline, in every country. He can babble on a bit though.
We had him at a couple of work functions as MC/comedian storyteller type, he can be dead funny telling cricket stories, and is great with the people, and people love him live. But he can be as nervous as anyone else who’s not a comedian and expected to make a 100 tradesman laugh for 30-40mins. But he’s good, and I knew it. The second time there were a lot of young blokes and he was shitting bricks going on about how they won’t get him and he was too old. I told him they weren’t that much younger than me, they’re Ozy and grown up with names like The Don, Chappell, Benaud, and watched Warne, Gilly, etc, and that he had stories about them all. Just start with a younger name, they will love ya. He killed it. He was signing autographs and joking with all the tradies at the end with a grin from ear to ear. He never spoke to me again that night, but signed a mini bat for me.
 
We need more early wickets, the next day or so will be good for batting. There’s still a nice little bit a grass strip just outside the rhander especially from the Cummo end and I would be getting Bolo to hit that asap.
 
Wickets a road, getting another 18 wickets to win will be near impossible. Lyons seems to have lost his mojo. Our three quicks after the new ball had lost it zip looked non threatening. Time will tell but this one could drag out for a draw

Think cracking this partnership is key. Jaiswal makes it look easy
