I don’t think they have a clue what their best side is. They weirdly seem to have a lot of openers.

I think Gill might have been better at 4 with no Kohli, looks a bit inbalanced
What is it with these Aussies, always smirking and shaking their head at every decision

Steve Smith gets reviewed, DRS gives him out, obviously he knows better.
More racism! oh dear
6 lads took away for a word with police, if they have done it then hit them hard, all I would say is, I am always uncomfortable about cameras filming everything like that, we have no idea what was said, or if it was even them who did it.

Turn the cameras off and let the police deal with it, they will deal with them if they have done wrong.

Always a risk that its the wrong people or whatever and they are tainted with that live on tv
The bowler looked very distressed mind it has to be said.

Boils my piss. They don’t know how lucky they are, being able to watch live sport, but they abuse the privilege in the vilest of ways

More racist abuse towards the Indian players

Its awful. This was Langer's response:

"One of my greatest pet hates in life is that people think they can come to a sporting event and think they can abuse or say whatever they like," he said.

"I hated it as a player, I hate it as a coach. We've seen it in different parts of the world and I'm really sad to see it happen in Australia."

Many people might think that's a reasonable response but I don't like it. Hes trying to say its wrong while also saying it happens everywhere. For me hes comparing 'he's a dwarf, a dwarf'' type stuff to racist abuse. Just unconditionally condemn the incident that has happened in your own back yard and don't water down that condemnation by saying 'it isn't just us.

I mean just ridiculous considering what happened in the years Steve Smith led the team. Without doubt the most abusive cricket team in history.

Longer is a f***ing weirdo and a prick.

Trying to condemn it whilst also suggesting it happens everywhere. Doesn’t make it right you tosser.

The utter shite they were spouting about English fans on that Amazon documentary suggesting that we were out of order for giving them grief. Aussie fans are well known for being utter morons.

But there’s questionable evidence based on this report, which talks to others sitting near by

Unless I’m missing something

Give it a rest you should know better, sound a bit like Langer!

It's now every single ball that the Australians are appealing, when there's clearly no hint of lbw or bat on ball, or shouting "Catch it!" when the ball has obviously hit the ground. I wish they'd mute the pitch mic or Paul Reiffel tells them to stfu.
....

Risabh, promoted to No. 5, is properly going after Nathan Lyon. 30 runs in 3 overs. 3 sixes. It may be delaying the inevitable but at least India are making a fight of it.

Class session that, great cricket

Pant is a real talent like, needs backing by Indian selectors, they are always looking for reasons to drop him it seems, Pujara the perfect partner.

These will need to get another 100 like at least.
 
.....
India's session. 108 runs for the loss of just one wicket. Pujara as stubborn as ever, Rishabh Pant going after Nathan Lyon and succeeding, with a superb 73. Partnership is 104 runs.

You still have to favour Australia strongly, with the new ball only 10 overs away, but there's no doubt that India are making them work far more than they thought they would.
 
Tim Paine is never ever a test cricketer like, out of his depth with the bat, drops his fair amount of chances, and not great tactically.

I get that he steered them through a difficult period, but I cant understand the praise he got for the Ashes personally. Steve Smith had the series of a lifetime, he had Lyon, Cummins, Hazlewood, Starc, probablu the best attack int he world, and could only manage a draw against a patched up England side with a world cup hangover.

Not a fan, as you can tell!
 
oh f***ing hell man Pant. After all that

Would have been a great 100 that.

He just lost the plot trying to get runs before the new ball, he thrashed at 2 Green balls too.

Been aggressive all day but felt he switched to reckless there
