Man, it would have been great if we had a first innings lead of 100. Really should have played another specialist batsman. That extra 50 runs in each innings would have been invaluable.
Australia tour of India - 4 tests

Cummins has bowled really well. This is going to be another thrilling match. Need to restrict Aus to somewhere around 200. Should atleast keep the scoring rate down.
Well played Jadeja.
Lyon has the second most wickets vs India for an Australian Spinner.
A fair effort that

Hoping for a great match now. It's all setup well for it
Anything above 200 and Australia would be favourites in my opinion. Don't want to chase more than 175.
This looks like good batting wicket and I hope pitch will hold on till final days of play.
Ahaha Smith gone when we were bowling absolute crap to him. Game on.
Aust 31/2, Smith gone.
We should really consider canceling Warners Passport
Smith. Mental midget
31/3
0/3
Was expecting him to do a lot better, been absolutely useless this series. Good for you Renshaw came good.
Seems like Marsh has an injury
Sore back I think
Outside of SA he has been very very average in away tours
Need 200 here to even have a 50/50 shot.
Warner needs to go feck himself. Most overrated pos batsman Australia has ever had. How he is the 2nd captain is beyond me.
Warner's average in this series 24.12 - his 3rd lowest in any series. He averaged 13 in NZ in 2015-16 (2 Tests) and 23 in Ashes 2013. In Ind in 2012-13, he averaged 24.37.

87/4, if we manage to get Maxwell in another hour or so,our target to win this would be lesser than 150.
Well that was a nice session.
Maxi gone. 6 down for 106
What's the issue if no shot is offered by the batsman?

Don't get why Maxwell is so unhappy with the decision. That's the price you pay for not offering a shot.
Point of impact does not matter.
Brain fade.
Think a lead of 150+ could be a problem to chase down
Renshaw's drop off Saha last night will cost Aus this game. Had he taken that, Aus would have had the 30 run lead and 150+ would have been a hard chase for India.
Disappointing that we bat pretty well all series and have our worse performance now but overall in the series cant have many complaints.
Maxwell, Handscomb and Renshaw did their part, Cummins has played 2 test matches which is a miracle with his injury record.

Why the feck is Saha bowling!
espncricinfo showing as Saha bowling to Wade
Series is lost now, well done to India. I'm happy to a point that the series came down to a fourth test with Australia still a chance of winning the series or retaining the Border Gavaskah trophy. That said, i hope there's no narrative of glorious failure in the Australian media. A series loss is still a series loss and no Australian side should ever be happy with getting close.
about 100 runs short
How does the pitch look like , is this a poor batting from Australia or pitch doing its trick?
How much of the collapse is due to the pitch? Can Aus do a Mumbai here?

Matthew Wade proving once again why he's such a cnut.

Thats nothing compared to what Maxwell thinks about Wade.
Wade has gone back to Tasmaina because he had a massive falling out with some people in cricket victoria.
His and Cummins partnership was so bizarre IMO. On a pitch like this, you can't afford to block, block and block.
A little uneven bounce but nothing outrageous. Bad batting.
Never ceases to amaze me what a dump the Cricket Australia comment section is.
