Surely not... could make for an interesting chase though if weather permits

More quick wickets.
Pant to go nuts.
Conceivable.
Indian fans were doing the rain dance yesterday. Might be Aussie fans today!

@barbarian that BMac wicket really derailed us, he was so dangerous that tournament and if he'd gotten away even just a bit and got a quick 30 or 40, our confidence would have been right up. It wasn't just that he got him out first over as well, the manner of the dismissal put us on the back foot; BMac didn't even look like hitting it, the ball was just way too good for him.
100%. I remember watching and thinking 'game over' the moment he knocked him over. He was so important in NZ's run that tournament.

Bumrah has a huge chunk of India's wickets this series. Without him they'd be very middling
absolutely I agree with @No-Quarter about Bumrah best cricketer in the world right now, he has the cheat code

@Chris said in Australia v India:
Lance Morris is quick
think he was meant to tour India but got injured, have heard he is quick
Yeah he is quick sprays it a bit hence his nickname Wild thing.
The quickest could be 19 year old Mahli Beardman he already is bowling 145ks ,
He has a contract with the Scorchers for the Big Bash. -

Would Travis Head be the best cricketer in the world right now?
Head has been going well but his record even in recent times is only very good without being great. For me Bumrah is at the top, conditions at home don't often suit him and playing overseas is always challenging, but he just continues to carve up and his record just gets better all the time. Incredible player. After that I have Kane, he has been consistently the best batsmen in the world for a number of years now but just doesn't play as much as the others. He is aging like a fine wine at the moment, consistently knocking out 50s and 100s whenever he gets the chance, which won't be for a while now as our summer of tests appears to be over already...
Interesting point.
In the absence of world class all rounders ( Ashwin and Jadeja have fantastic numbers but definite home track bullies ) is the best player a bowler or batsman ?
Brook and Bumrah are absolute first picks in a World XI for me.
Maybe Bumrah is the best based on more longevity?

Travis Head apparently has an injured groin. No good.
Boland in for Hoff but wondering who the next batsman in line will be?
They will bring in Konstas and move McSweeney down the order. But I think they would rather play Head on one leg.

@MN5 Let's not get carried away.
Brooks has played 6 matches in Pakistan, 5 in NZ - against teams that were in the main off their game and the rest at home.
Yes he looks the goods, but it's very early days yet. In this latest series alone, he probably had as many chances as Loosebuschange has had against India

I’m judging on how he looks as much as the stats. He is awesome to watch and guys like him in form will keep test cricket well and truly alive.
You’re right, lots of others have had fantastic starts and petered out a bit. He’s possibly not quite there yet but the signs are there.

R Ashwin retires.
Amazing player
11 player of the series awards which is highest by an India. So influence on a match cannot be understated
