This century from Jaiswal isn’t that good. The kid has clearly lived a life of privilege and luxury.

Public Service Announcement:

Haydos and JB commentating on Ch7. Haydos giving us 25 minutes of David Brent-like motivational thinking.

Carey misses a chance down the leg side off Cummins, Jaiswal with a life.

Gives a good insight into what the team had to put up with when Langer was in charge

Maybe XI Jinping - great at putting on extra spin.

Agree. I’d say the Gabba would have to be in terms of results. Almost always been the Test summer opener…

Must be nice coming in with some runs on the board to try find form if your king Kohli.

Marsh gets Jaiswal for 161, smashes a catch to Smith at point. India 3/313.

Keep the Aussie bowlers out there for as long as possible; they’re all old and their bodies are close to falling apart.

No need to charge down the wicket like that, Lyon saw him coming.

That’s unlucky. Shouldn’t be giving that out live.

Oh hey, we’ve woken up now.

Cummins gets Jurel for 1 LBW. India reviewing, looked like it was sliding down leg, ball tracking says it was clipping. Unlucky. India 5/321.

Single handedly handed the initiative to Australia.

I agree. TBF it was a very similar delivery to the ball Bumrah got McSweeney with.
