Jesus man, Rahane you fecking moron.

- Start date
We were bossing the match 
Vihari with a shocker of a review, Rahane knew he was plumb lbw
Even day? Would be great if we get 300 tomorrow.
60/40 Australia I'd say. If we can get 300 then it'd be good.
Kohli stays in then its easily India's day, but now slight edge to Australia.
Just saw the highlights of the game. Rahane has probably cost India the game. And then to get out himself was just shocking.
Pritvi shaw is one of the most overhyped kids to play the game. His technique looks so out of sorts. He really needs to work on it or else his career could go up in smokes. Probably controversial but if he wasn't from Maharashtra he wouldn't be in the side. Having him over Gill says everything about this team management.

Feck sake. How do you drop such catches at international level.
Disgusting fielding.
Dropped twice, will be made to pay no doubt.
Beautiful!
Four! One more and we will be truly in this.
Get Labuschagne and we could look at 100+lead for good.
Those drops of labushane are going to cost us dearly. Seen it happen too many times
Still has PTSD from so many debutants scoring against India.
Yup
Time to drop Joe Burns, bloke is not up to it.
Come on! I can just see the aussie tail wagging against us though
I believe that is called our middle order, India already went through the tail already.
Swlf depreciating aussies are rare to find
Shami is awesome, great bowling this. As is Ashwin. Two very strong bowling attacks. Love quality Test cricket, so watchable.
Truly - this spell has been on the money and its a shame he doesnt have a wicket to show for it.
The line, length and the movement has been outstanding.
Is it the first time he's bowled well in all formats of the game in the same period?
I don't see enough of him to comment unfortunately. I just love quality test cricket like this.
Nice. Still enough to get that 100lead.
Nobody rates Langer's sections here.
He still thinks it is the late 90s' or early 2000's with batting talent out the arse.
He cares more about "being a good bloke in the squad" or "backing him in" over current form.
In more serious news the Sydney test could be moved to Adelaide due to Sydney having a spike in Covid cases.
Why’s nick knight on india comms? strange choice.
Brilliant bowling. I've a lot more faith in our team now after that showing. Kohli will be a massive loss though.
Shaw Gone. I think that should be it for his international career in Tests. Just not good enough technically for this level.
Always felt the same. Look at his footwork. Even Bumrah has better defense than shaw.
Like others are saying, Shaw isn’t good enough technically. Horrible footwork and poor shot selection lead to his dismissal over and over in the IPL. Never seemed that’s he working to correct his mistakes so him opening in test cricket against a high class attack is poor management.
Lets not rule him out, guys. Hes 19/20, he'll improve. Its been a tough year for him but he looked the part 2 years ago.
That said, Shubman is better than him and I'd hope to see both him and Pant in the team next game.

Fascinating couple of sessions. Great cricket.
I remember he had a habit of doing this in the u-19 wc:
That said - like Sehwag - he has great hand-eye, and I hope he can improve. He clearly must have immense skill to get to this level playing that way.
The Sehwag comparison is fitting - and we all know how he turned out. He needs time and I reckon we'll give him that.
How much of a lead do India need? 250? From a neutral perspective we do need India to win this first Test.
350+ minimum
feck.
Going down in flames a bit.
