    Kohli carelessly throwing his wicket away symptomatic of their whole approach?

    They'll learn quickly. Doubt he will do that again with this total

    Ouch, take it easy Nick, did you miss the comments before mine, pretty sure several used nasty bitter name calling.

    Didn't mean to trigger you.

    A reality check for the unstoppable Indians, while I was watching the footy.

    And as a bonus, Wee Dave and a Marsh (0) are also gone.

    It's hard for me to lose on this pitch. 🙂

    The delivery that got Pujara was a fucking ripper. Just took off on a sweet spot in the deck and the poor bastard had very little chance to do something about it early in his innings. A little hesitant, it must be said

    Kohli was out to a very poor shot in the worst ball of a good over.

    Ashwin caught off the boot is a bloody slice of luck.

    Great catching by Handscomb, too.

    Wade got a good stumping, but still can't catch.

    Great bowling effort. Australia still need to make sure they get a big lead though. India could turn it around. It's only day two but it sounds like the pitch is tough to play on.

    Looking at the wickets, SOK was just bowling well, with consistency, and pinning them down.

    At one point it was 6 wickets in 5 overs for 5 runs. That's pressure

    I've spent the last couple of weeks on the wind up with my Aussie club about the lack of real quality and character of Smith's , comfort stop, team. But that 105 business is the biggest fuck you to me and other doubting Thomas's ever.

    A terrific piece of cricket. Brilliant cricket, india at home first dig and all that entails

    Classic Aussie cricket with a back to a wall. fluffybunnies 🙂

    It's just stupid from Warne. O'keefe has been the best performing spinner in Australia for the past five years. Agar doesn't put up anywhere near his numbers. I think O'Keefe will probably supplant Lyon soon.

    Warne's not much of a soothsayer, is he? To be fair, he couldn't even predict the end of his marriage when everyone else could...

    It's been a great test to watch so far - unless your an Indian fan, in which case I can only say 'suffer in your jocks lads'.

    Our second innings has been particularly pleasing. I've seen games like this and with our ability against spin and a fired-up Indian side I was expecting us to be 6/50 and the game back on an even keel.

    But Smith has batted very well and Renshaw, Handscomb and MMarsh have given good support. And the Indians have been fielding like shit.

    The key is aggression IMO. I'm not one of the 'play your natural game and slog the shit out of it' guys, but on this pitch it seems you're never really in and there's a ball with your name on it just around the corner. So you have to get as many runs as you can before that ball arrives...

    Hope we can push on today and set them 400+, but at home I'd never ever rule them out. Especially with Kohli in the batting lineup.

    @barbarian would be more worried about Pujara - can bat for days. Got done by a beauty in the first innings, will need something similar in the second.

    I wouldn't write off the injuns.. I can see them chasing 400 on their home turf..
