Marnus with a review that Shane Watson would have been proud of.

It did miss middle, just.

When the bowlers lose it, this side is going to suck and blow.

Have to say this has been one of the best days of high quality fast bowling since the Windies in their 80's heyday.

Two pretty average batting line-ups have been brutally exposed with surgical precision.

Given their ages it won’t be long. Our batting is ‘orrible. Carey the only one that looks half decent. Bumrah is quality.

The bowlers have been magnificent over many years and even contribute with the bat as well
Our selectors have a problem dropping established players with form challenges. Marnus and Smith have struggled for a while but appears to be safe.

Great day for the bowlers for both us and India.

The batting is very poor from both sides.

India all out for 150.

We are trailing by 83 runs at 7/67 after day 1.

Bumrah is right up with the best of the pace bowlers I have seen including those WI stars.

Batters need to be on top of their game to handle him unfortunately we carry a few batters.

Agree with this re Bumrah. Average of 20.17 - 2nd best of all time for wicket takers > 150 wickets. Averages just over 17 in India. Amazing stats.

Was listening to SEN during the tea break last night with Tom Morris hosting, it was mentioned that the 3rd session of play was brought to you by Liquorland.

That explains a lot. Thanks for sharing that with everyone

I feel dirty saying this and it might be time for an intervention but that show that Morris does before the test starts has been pretty good.
As a footy bloke in the media I can't stand him but he's going okay with his cricket commentary.
Don't judge me please

I want you to tell Bevo that at training next week.

The Indians really put us to the sword yesterday. Powerful batting display. Who knows if its a one off but a lot of the cricket experts had us winning the series 3 nil or 3 one but we've got to get a lot of things right from now to achieve that.

I think all the over 30 bats need to go.

Even Head.

Let's just reboot this batting order.

I feel as if Smith has too much control.

We are in for a long period of shit. I don’t think we’ve got the next generation of good test players.
