People are having fun, enjoying a great game of cricket with a bit of mild banter. But thankfully we have rotated on here to bring us all back down - what a relief.

Nothing wrong with a bit of banter but let's not pretend "your captain is a shit bloke" is the sledge of the century. Breaks the first rule of a quality sledge which is that it needs to be a comeback.

Lyon bowling @ 20 so far this series for his 15 wickets.

Quick work this morning could deliver him another Michelle, 10 for the match, and a ridiculous average for 2 Tests.

This bloke doesn't mind his work, either.

This is turning into a cracking series.

Rahul has to go home and I expect they'll bring in a real spinner.

Finch has probably done just enough to stay. Marsh is due a run of single figures - he's not in the form he was four years ago. It's a good thing Australia has such a great bowling line-up.

[No Quarter]

@NTA I love Lyon, he's a real battler that makes the most of his talents not unlike our Wagner (minus the aggression). Has a great backstory and also has a seriously good record now. 333 wickets at 31 for an offspiner is nothing to be sneezed at.

As a mate of mine was saying: "If he wasn't a rich fluffybunny playing cricket for Australia, he wouldn't be slaying a single gram of pussy"

Enjoy and good luck! You look thirsty too

Boom! Starc strikes. 6 Down with 167 required

@hooroo unfortunately our workplace has a no booze policy. 😭

[NTA]

Biggest fucking pub owner in Australasia, mind 🙄

[NTA]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAT!

[NTA]

Great catch

[NTA]

Starc giving the Indian bowlers back a bit of their own. You go short to our tail, we'll go short to yours.

Reckon we're up for a full delivery next

Last three overs of the match:

Jadeja will probably come in for Test 3 when you look at the raw figures:

Boxing Day is going to be fucking tasty

That's a team that's given up.

[NTA]

@antipodean and a team who have never bothered to give their bowlers even a basic fucking defence. Again: pure arrogance.

[mariner4life]

If Smith was playing Aus would be walking this series

[NTA]

@mariner4life OR he could be having a 'mare with Kohli in his ear.

That is what I'm loving about Paine - Kohli's jibber-jabber just rolls right off him. Its fucking great leadership and great entertainment to boot.

Kohli's post-match comments on Cricinfo are suitably gracious, I might add.
