Think we could have put the screws on India here a little more.. definitely have given a few wickets away.

Not like we are short of time, just patience... Maybe Renshaw can give the boys some tips

the shots leading to Starc, Lyon and Hazlewood's dismissals have been very poor. Didn't need to slog the ball in the air in this situation.

Finished with an 87 run lead, disappointing after the Wade/Starc partnership in the first 30 minutes of the session.

Also, Mitchell Marsh is NOT an all-rounder. Should have picked a specialist batsman at #6 who can at least score runs

Yeah its handy but I think if we had applied ourselves today we could have put on another 50+ at least

Still rather be us than them.

MMs total lack of ability is the difference between a possible 200 run lead and a mere sub 100 lead.

Dickhead.
the selectors are still stuck in 2005, trying to find the next Andrew Flintoff.

I mean, just give it up. If you dont' have a quality all-rounder, just pick a batsman who can score runs or a bowler who can take wickets rather than an 'allrounder' who can't bat or bowl

The fact that Jadeja didn't bowl more is criminal. If that were roles reversed we'd be calling for Smith's head.

Need Starc or Haze to absolutely rip through them, batsmen won't be keen on chasing anything over about 50!

Disappointing finish really after a good start this morning.


Need to bowl them out for 200 to have any hope.

Can't afford for Starc to have one of his shit days. If he keeps leaking runs, he needs to be taken off straight away

This.

With only an 87 run lead, the bowlers can't be giving away easy runs.

On this pitch, any target over 150 in the final innings is going to be a challenge to chase down. 200+ and India are firm favourites
