If we bat in morning it will take India 6 minutes an over. To bat for 4 overs would take them 25mins to bowl.

They would make sure bowlers shoe laces come undone, want saw dust for where the foot lands when bowling, constantly talk about field placements, complain about the ball etc....... who knows what else they could do. Run in and then not bowl the ball on purpose and then walk back slowly to beginning of their mark.

I reckon just declare overnight and get them in. We need to take 10 wickets and it's gonna be a big day for Nathan Lyon. If we declare overnight I can't see India going after the total. They will try to bat very very cautiously.

They can't afford to be batting cautiously, a loss is as good as a draw for India.. I give them no hope in Brisbane or any other ground in Australia for that matter

They have to come out and win for them to be any chance in the series, which gives us a better chance to win. I am supremely confident we will win if we declare now and get 90 overs at them.

That said, I would love to see a game of rochambo between Kohli and Watson.

After both being pulled away from the mirror, hair done, look wanted applied,sycophants telling them they are Bradman and Tendulkar, nails done.

I would probably let Virat go first.

I reckon we bat 6 overs this morning (30 balls) try and get another 30-40 runs or so. We lose 2 overs for the innings change, leaving 90 overs left to bowl them out. Make them shut up shop and play defensively, they are no South Africa, they have a lot of stroke makers who wont be tempted to just block, especially as our field will be so attacking and miles of space everywhere.

One decent Notch spell will rip them apart and hopefully the deck will be even better for Lyon on the 5th day

Bring on day 5

Everyone on here going to bitch and moan about Johnson giving Dhawan a send off too?

He didn't bowl a no ball and have it shoved in his face though.
And if he did I doubt he would have carried on like a bitch afterward.

There is nothing wrong with a send off. But if you give it you have to be prepared to take it. Aaron wasn't
