They're literally playing in front of nobody. Where is the crowd? Past test series when India are playing on Aussie shores the stadium is bursting at the seams.
6000 in apparently. Most of them Indian.
Brisbane sucks.

Bad light makes no sense with the way the Indian tail enders were playing. Tidying up a few rules like that could make a big difference.
Just hit Cummins for 6.
Two balls later: bad light.
At least finish the over FFS

Scheduling issue. Who'd give up a day to sit around with predictable rain breaks?

Yep, credit to India on this one, avoiding the follow on was impressive given they were 44/4.
I do question the make up of the Australian team why play Marsh if you dont bowl him? Hazelwood on last legs with ageing type of injuries, Starc also ageing some big decisions for Aus soon -

Hazelwood on last legs with ageing type of injuries,
holy shit, this! He missed the last test with a side strain - and then struglged to get past 5 overs in this test. Unfortunate, but you do wonder if he's done now.
he's 34 in Jan, Starc is 35 in Jan, Cummins is 32 in May -

pedigree.
potentially but he is there as the allrounder and clearly they should possibly be blooding some younger talent as you mention, look at the ages of half that team, especially if one of your older guys break down..(like what just happened)

think he will play IPL, but Australia have to negotiate and workout with him does he play WTF or even Ashes one last time? But must be close to being done

sorry mate, it was a long ago call by the selectors where he got picked because of the surname. @NTA will get triggered by this, and show up to tell me to eat a bag of dicks.

here we go, Sept 2018
“He is an extremely popular member of the team, he has great humility and, given his lineage, he understands and respects the responsibility which comes with representing Australia and Australians,” Hohns said.
