Test Series :: Australia v India

No wonder Bumrah's back is knackered, he's been carrying the team all series.

It will be interesting to see if India make any changes ahead of the England tests with talk of dressing room unrest, coach and captain under pressure and senior players out of form.

I don't understand their obsession with us talking (not moaning) about pitches and conditions. We talk about it for English matches too. It's a massive part of the game

They are extremely touchy about it. Personally think the reason they’re so sensitive is because producing dust bowls is the only way they win games in their conditions.

In this country we win on green seaming decks and absolute roads now with the attacking cricket we play, and anywhere in between, but we ultimately prefer a balanced contest between bat and ball, and the pitch is crucial in that.

For them, it is win at all costs.
 
Surely Konstas won't be in the team for long. Just watching the highlights he looks like a number 10 promoted to pinch hit at the start, backing away and throwing his hands at everything. Can't believe Aus picked him over Renshaw or anyone else.

I got battered from plenty of people all over social media for suggesting I’d be fuming with how he was playing in his first innings if I was an Aussie. It’s brainless cricket. But I think you’ve actually described it well, he does actually look like a tailend batter with no real batting brain at times.

He's definitely got something about him. Just don't know if opening the batting in test cricket is 'spot'.
