Expecting India to collapse in a heap this test, reckon they'll be spent, broken, divided.
But, we'll see. Have surprised lately in these Aus tours. But, I'll be surprised.
Agreed. I think the team is mentally fragile.

I can see Konstas becoming annoying to me. He's a cocky bastard.

India in disarray.
In saying that Kohli to score a double hundred today

Agree. Not sure what the Aussies are whiging about.

Yeah pretty clearly grounded just before he flicked it up. Sensational athleticism though. Shame - would have loved kohli to get o golden duck there.
Kohli has such a weird record. Average in the high 40s is very good but not great. 30 centuries though is fantastic. There are 17 guys to have got to that mark, and him, Jayawardene and Cook are the only ones averaging under 50.
Jayawardene is only just (49.84) and was a bit of a flat track bully, while Cook took almost 300 innings to get there. Both fantastic players, but neither were close to having 'best of their generation' tags like Kohli does.
When you dig into Kohli's record, he is fantastic in India and in Australia (only just dipped under 50) and South Africa, while everywhere else is mid 40s or worse.
Basically, against tough opponents, in tough conditions he thrives, but in situations where other batters would cash in on 'easy' runs he doesn't, which holds his average back.

Keepers of the 'line'. They know cricket better than anyone. So clearly they're right

I think declining hugely in test cricket overall in the last four years has held his average back.
Once he gets that 200 today his average will go up though
