Pujara can do this all day (and probably will).

Staggering decision to basically bat all day yesterday, a captain playing in fear.

Get rid of Starc, FFS stop the stupid short balls.

New prediction - India to win

And I think Starc might've played his last test.

Time for Lyon to stand up.

Nice delivery from Lyon.

The ball has hit Pujara more times in the head than the middle of his bat.

How can we have a ball flying through a vacant 3rd slip when a bloke is on 2 and we're desperate for wickets?

All three results well and truly in play.

I tell you what, for a supposed 'best attack ever' (yeah right)....we never seem too capable of bowling a team out in a day. We couldn't have declared any sooner yesterday, we didn't have the lead, because of the poor bowling on Day 3.

Starc bowls too much rubbish and is only effective with a brand new ball.

And Lyon, well we were spoiled with Warne, but Lyon just doesn't bowl teams out.

Reality is that India are much better than us right now. With Kohli, Ashwin, Bumrah, Vihari, Shami, Yadav all missing for parts or most of the series, it has been an incredible effort from them out here. Terrific series.

Agree with all of this. But I highly doubt we'll lever 7 wickets out in the final session.
Starc has seemingly lost his ability to swing the ball at all and without the ability to otherwise hit the rights spots and build pressure like Cummins and Hazlewood, he just looks like cannon fodder right now.
And yep. Lyon has been completely anaemic this series.

Need to give Cameron the ball and see what he can do.

Another outstanding piece of wicket keeping from your hero and mine.

The pace bowlers consistently bowl too short.

Yep and then Starc comes on and bang, way too short.
