This game could be over by this time tomorrow
India in complete control. This is humiliating. Watch them smash 350 in quick time. Weāve given up - in fact this happened yesterday
If I hear that bloody clown Ronnie Mac talking about our methods and sticking to our plans Iām gonna throw up. This is a home series and weāre playing at the venue thatās supposed to suit us the best. Itās an unmitigated disgrace the way we have played.

How would people adjust the batting lineup?
At some point this series Iād like to see
Khawaja (maybe Konstas if things go pear shaped)
Inglis
McSweeney
??? (Just dunno who bats 4 while Green is out)
Head
Marsh
Carey
Itās a five test series, relax.
Australiaās only hope was quick wickets with the new ball and that hasnāt happened. Thereās no plan B.
You said the game was over after India got skittled for 150.
Let Bill have his rant.

Smith has to remain at 4; no way he should shifted out of that position. If Labuschagne fails second innings that perhaps his spot is in jeopardy.
Bill is more than entitled to rant. But letās not get too carried away; it is only the first test.

Maybe but I would like us to start blooding a new batting lineup. His drop in form is sad at the moment and think the form around our current 3/4 is heaping pressure on the rest of the lineup.
Edit: and Cam Green gets 4 when heās back.
India got swept 0-3 at home by NZ. This match and series is just getting started. There is no way Australia will bat as badly in the second innings they did in the first. All that said, they would want to keep this lead to under 300.

Smith is a champion, and you have to back him in to turn around his form. The only way heās out of the side is through injury or retirement.
Jaiswal itching to take Lyon down town. Could be a wicket soon.
Letās hope he still isā¦ I fear he āwasā a champion.
But problem no 1 is Labuschagne. Iād get McSweeney to 3 and open with Inglis.
