It was a very nice throw.

Marnus did get 91 before he gave his wicket away.

He did it before every wicket.

Jadeja is some all-round player. Just always in the game. Magnificent fielder.

I’m going to say he’s the best all round cricketer in the world.

He’s made a terrific contribution for India in this series, with bat, ball and in the field. His Test record is excellent, but I thought he’d been pretty underwhelming over here in the past. Well played to him.

This is going to be exciting; Aussie quicks vs Sharma and Gill. Both are very attacking players, so expect something to happen one way or another.

yeah, rather stupid comment to lump him in with the other two. In fact, I’d hardly say he threw it away. Wasn’t his best shot, but hardly threw it away.

I beg to differ, he had a great series here in 2018. Took wickets in Melbourne and made an 80 in Sydney.

It was a decent delivery that did him in, wasn’t a terrible shot.

yeah bit of extra bounce, probably a bit cramped for room.

Actually exceptionally stupid to lump him in with the other two.

I stand corrected. I reckon he’s been their best player in this series, he’s a good player to watch and his fielding adds another dimension to their team. I like him.

Working for Sky too long. Saying whatever gets the people clicking/watching. He’s pretty cringe most of the time now, which is a shame, because he’s easily in the best couple of analysts in the game when it comes to actually analysing the game.

Agree I think Marnus was just a bit hyped after playing some pretty good shots off the preceding balls. He was on top of the bowling. Just a case of one too many.

Australian fielders really to hold their catches and make the most of those chances that come.
