Go back to the **80s** and 90s pathways. **We** had the two best teams in the world at one point.

I never knew you were West Indian. Because they dominated the 80's.

Yes I know that, the players who dominated in the 90's and 00's came from somewhere. Good pathways in the previous decade.
 
How good is Kohli. 6 Test centuries in Australia now, equaling Sachin. Probably the best touring batsman to come here. You'll struggle to find anyone with a better record.

Class player. He seems to have matured a lot this tour.
 
Finch has gone to hospital for X-rays on his hand.

On Kohli, he's a talented player but Christ if any of the Aussies carried on like he did or our keeper chattered like Pant we'd be hauled over coals. It all gets written off a passion when other countries do it and arrogance when we do.

He argues and chats like Warner. He's a tosser.
 
How many times are our batsman going to throw their wickets away this series ??? Shot selection is pathetic, it lost us the first test ,along with all the extras in India’s 2nd innings ,and now it’s keeping India in this test
 
Australia have never come up against a player like Kohli. Not only talent wise, but his attitude. Aussies hate him, but really he’s straight out of the Aussie sides from the Waugh and Ponting era’s. He gives it back, He’s the only player whose ever truly stood up to Australia, and backed it up with his ability.

Yeah and our guys could be wankers when they wanted to as well. Call a spade a spade.

If Warner was behaving like Kohli he would be lynched.
 
I am a fan of Pete Handscomb but I cannot defend him any more, the bloke needs a serious technique adjustment. For a guy who parks deep in his crease and plays off the back foot he needs to be able to pick the line better than what he does. That was pathetic.
 
If Handscomb doesn’t play another test it will be too soon , his technique wouldn’t stand up in under 16’s

The problem is we have to replace him with another Marsh ….....bit like picking between who you want on the wing for the WT's , Cory Paterson or Adam Blair

I've seen cockroaches better at avoiding traps than Travis Head.

Well you got one thing right Warner is a tosser.

Yeah, and Kohli is his spirit animal. Great cricketer, I'll never take that away from him, but he's a spanner.

What's a winning lead …...280-290 ??

I am thinking anything over 250 will be a big ask, but India have the best batsman in the world so anything is possible. Anyway even if Finch has another bat I can’t see Australiagetting more than 230, so I expect India’s run chase to be under 300

They have two of the best batsmen in the world. I really rate Pujara, very much in the mould of Dravid. They don't win the first test without him.
