Too right, on both counts.
Today set to be an incredible day. So much on the line - Border-Gavaskar trophy, plus a spot in the WTC final. My sense is Aus will do it but… the neutral probably has it at 50/50.

Bookies have it more like 70/30. Which is where I am to.
Oh interesting - in favour of Aus I assume?
210 or under is gettable, even with Bumrah. Webster and Smith showed there are runs to be had. Pitch doesn’t look to have markedly deteriorated, either.
Yep in favour of Aus.
Pitch is really weird, I don't even think it's impossible the heat flattens it out today.
Aus to win comfortably even with Bumrah 100%
we will win
I can delete this if no one has seen it, and go back to sleep
Didn't like Siraj swinging at seven down. Every run crucial here!
Im more worried that Siraj came ahead of Bumrah
This is a ridiculous cricket pitch. I still can't believe that Australia had a chance to win their first BGT in ages and they produced this pitch.
This is a ridiculous field to a number 8 on this pitch. I’d maybe understand it to Pant but makes no sense to a guy who is struggling.
160 seems pretty big here
All these 2s on offer in front of square and they’re trying to smash it out of the park.
Bit of a let down this. All the momentum with Australia.
Sundar jadeja two players who had no business playing this match. Poor selection
Yep not a match for spinners, but I don’t think anyone read the pitch right.
That was pretty awful but credit to Australia. On target.
That was pretty meek from India.
Felt like there was no plan at all how to approach that. Aussies came out and bowled consistently.
At least we’ll get a result in Sydney, for the first time in a while. Would’ve preferred a contest between bat and ball but ah well.
Aus massive favourites but that’s not an easy chase, particularly if Bumrah is fit.
Watching Washington run that first run when Siraj got it through backward point said a lot. Unless they think they’ve got enough already…
Washington has a tracl record of not knowing how to bat with tailenders. Saw in the last match as well.
No Bumrah. Doesn't count.
just tuned in, Bumrah injured?
No Bumrah, don't think that's a defendable total.
Without him it isn't, at all TBH
Nailed on Aus win. Not just for Bumrah missing but we also have only 2 fast bowlers.. can’t bowl a side out with that
Aussies have been the better side in this series so no qualms with them winning it but such a shame this final day looks like a non event. Deserved more.
Reddy?
13 runs in wides in the first two overs in a 160 chase Jesus Christ.
Am I being to partisan in saying these Konstas shots look awful? This is last over slogging.
This is some horrible bowling 
Well this is a bit poor
Bumrah been run into the ground and India cracking
The crowd are being let down here. Will be done by lunch with barely any drama!
Big ‘can’t wait for this tour to be over’ energy from India here.
No you’re not. I think he looks good playing traditional cricket though.
You've clearly not seen England in a dead rubber in a beautiful part of the world to play Golf. World class.
Yes he has a classic defence and seen a few shots off the legs that looked classy!
