I see the IPL auction is on now the Aussie players must have been too busy on the phone with their managers to give a f**k about this test match....

This is one of the worst defeats on home soil since 2010/11 when the poms flogged us by an innings 3 x times.

Tactics with the ball were downright insipid. And we just rolled over and basically walked Kohli to his 100.

Whoever the clown was that thought Marnus bowling lollipop bouncers was going to work should be dumped from the setup absolute lunacy.


We just re-signed Ronald MacDonald as the Aussie coach as well.. Great stuff

He won't last the contract out if we lose this series and the Ashes next year.

If this series gets super ugly he may not survive to the ashes.

Sri Lanka tour in February is a tricky tour with the spinning wickets.

If we can't win there after getting thumped at home the noise will be massive for mass changes.

Australia don't tolerate getting humiliated at home

We don't have any hard ass players anymore.

We also have McSweeny batting at opener when the only time he has opened was in a tour match against India...

Is Greenberg still involved in cricket? Probably explains why we are shit....

McSweeney opened the batting in his younger days

McSweeney averages 37 in FC cricket, with a record like that he's hardly earn't anything.

Mind you Mitch Darsh is a walk up starter in our top 6 with an average of 30, we are turning into Bangladesh.

We don't have anyone knocking down the door to get into the test squad either...

Renshaw was brought into the side young but dropped after a few shit games and now isn't anywhere need the test side again...

This loss will hopefully be the wake up call for Aussie test cricket going forward. No team enjoys being flogged like a convict fresh off the ship. Take a look at today's crowd in the stands. India deserve this win in spades and good luck to them.

I agree. There is no mongrel in the team as a whole. We're a team of ageing stars combined with a few who are out of their depth. Cummings as captain, while talented, isn't a leader when the chips are down.
It wouldn't matter who the captain was, we have a shortage of batsmen. Our fast bowling stocks are good but our top 6 batsmen are in terrible form and we've got no one in shield putting any pressure on them
