Burns has now scored more runs today than the entire Indian team.
Good confidence builder for him

Well done Burns. Brings up his half century and the win with a six.

Was out at a BBQ so didn't get to see the first 6 wickets. The replays showed just how outstanding the line was.
India can expect more of that next match in Melbourne - it'll just be 135-145km/h at the top of off stump all day. Pujara's form isn't what it was, and besides him there doesn't appear to be much.

But shit to nail a number 11 who is backing away.
He started backing away too early so Cummins followed him, probably thinking the guy wanted a big swing at it. The short ball sets up the wicket ball.
The fact he put himself in an awful position isn't "shit" by Cummins. These guys are pros. Shami has been around long enough to get better.

@mariner4life will love this

India 36 all out.
Is it wrong to enjoy that short sentence as much as I do?
@NTA can you keep us updated with any amusing cases of Indian fans losing their shit on the Wisden page ?
From the tweet where I got that article above:

32 for 9, number 11 has backed a metre outside leg stump, bowler has followed him and it is aimed at his throat. I'd call that a bit shit, there is some instinct, hence the "bit", should have aimed at his toes if following him. It's not like his 1 not out off 3 balls is full of boundary upper cuts or hooks so far.
If I had some sort of imaginary line of acceptable behaviour that I expect other teams to follow, but without ever communicating or agreeing this, I'd say he crossed the line.
Until one of my bowlers does it , then I'll defend him (except Timmy ...)

far out, Australia hard to beat at home. Well played- they are remarkable
Puts our tour into perspective somewhat. If we make the final at least it will be at Lords not in Aus. Assume it would be a Duke ball as well?
