Absolutely clueless. Spoken like someone who has never played a game In their lives.
India got rolled for 40 over here a few years back and came back to win the series.
Bad games happen

It’s over mate.
You gotta admit, Marnus should be dropped. In fact he should have been dropped a while ago, and that’s coming from a fan of his.
I wanted Inglis in before Mcsweeney, Inglis is and is still the best batsmen not playing test cricket for Australia!!! there is no arguement
Ends with faith no more epic
LOL
Literally happens to every single team.
Im not even Australian but the carry on in here is so funny haha.
They will bounce back.
It is this test but long way tol go.
One pathetic test doesn’t make a summer and we will find out how hard they want to win the series

Good-oh. He can have Marnus’s spot. Now who’s to replace Sniff after he fails tomorrow?
I am not worried about the bowling, they will improve. The batting has been a concern for a while. The unwillingness to find true openers and just keep shoe-horning players in is not a healthy way to go about it.

Long term they are done. This team is it.
I knew we were farked the moment I saw @Donslaught9 in EFC footy season mode and saying that India essentially had no chance coming out here and winning against us 
4 tests to go. Show some ticker and respond you lot, for goodness sake.
Inglis is a number 5 to 6 at best. Not a test top 4 and never will be

I’m not sure we have anyone capable of dealing with Bumrah if he keeps bowling like this.
Our best bet would be to flatten out the wickets.
McSweeney aint a test opener so…
Perhaps we are. It goes in cycles.
We have good bats in the underage programs and in 5 to 6 years hopefully they are ready to step up. We will still win more than we lose in the next few years
Yeah agree the batting is an issue, dont agree on dropping Marnus just yet though.
He made 90 odd in his last test before this.
Imo you dont drop champion players as soon as they have a dry spell. He still averages around 50 in tests.
He will come good.
Smith is more of a concern because of his age, but again given his history he deserves a long leash.
I still think this series will be a draw a best for India. Aus just a bit too underdone.
Maybe they need some pep
Manuka honey is a good way.
Comes in 6 pack!

Bumrah aint bowling like this for a full series
Probably not but he is currently the best number 3 in the country at the second tier and a damn sight better bat than Inglis.
Nah this has been happening for a while, even if he gets some runs it’s scratchy as.
