Uzzy looks lean and fit imo. Looks like he has laid off the pies while recovering from injury

LA Locky, incessantly.

What a catch, and what a huge f**king breakthrough!!
To be fair, locky is right for once- Khawaja is pretty ordinary, which is what makes the catch very surprising

It's a fantastic catch but he's not the bloke you'd expect to do it, be honest

He's grabbed a few like that at Shield level tbh. Took one in his most recent Shield match IIRC

Just normally doesn't field there in Test cricket because guys like Smith and Warner and Renshaw and Bancroft have been around the cordon. The bloke can catch. His relaxed sort of attitude might not show it all the time, but he can certainly catch.

Are we bowling that well or are India just that bad?
India have been too loose, all wickets to playing at balls they could have easily left... but Australia also bowling very well... so bit of both, they don't need to be three down, but if Aust didn't have 1 maybe 2 they'd feel hard done by....

outstanding opening spell from the Aussie bowlers, everyone has beaten the bat pretty well

Fox haven't been too bad but Warnie is pissing me off, he has to offer a comment on everything

and yeh, Oozie is a shit fielder, lol

Vijay might have been tricked into playing at the ball because the ball did start to straighten and he may have registered that as swinging in to his stumps.

The others were pretty poor shots

How many times have we had teams 3 or 4 for not much and conceded 400 so they really need to put the foot on the throat here (is that PC in this day and age??).

How's the pathetic crowd and the PR trying to rebrand Australia as gentleman. I'm spewing Virat got out. I was hoping he would make 400. :)

Both of them would have probably gone for 4 on the goat tracks the Indians play 65 Tests a year on over in India.

From what I've seen the extra bounce looks to have troubled them a bit at times this morning.

Handscomb is the best in the world says Warnie when he doesn't catch one...

He was awful in the field, he has really worked hard on his fielding. It is a credit to him
