    I’m surprised Sportsbet did post their odds on “a sweep” in that tweet…

    Clean sweep pays 5:2

    Watched the highlights of Aussie 2nd innings. Some shot selection poor but the pitch was a joke. Basically cheating imho.

    Indians didn't make the Australian batsmen throw their wickets away.

    From the bits I saw, it looked like one of those pitches where you had to force yourself to play forward - almost regardless of what the initial read of the length tells you, or any back foot preferences. Easier said than done against Ashwin and Jadeja though.

    Looks like future squad selections for Indian tours may need to mirror their likely LH/RH bat combinations to avoid one sided watering... not that we'll ever have that top order selection luxury.

    Are you a lefty? Might get a call up 😉

    India Australia test 3 kicks off. Arguably the biggest series in world cricket.

    Anyhoo, pitch looks a day 3 turner already, Starc had two wickets in the first over if he reviewed them (he didn't; not out) and India rollicking along at 26/0 after 5 overs. It's not boring!

    Got an indian mate stopping by later to watch some ... probably India racking upa massive total already. Spin introduced in the 6th over by Australia. A good toss to win.

    Amazing how Rohit looked all at sea after looking so good in tests 1 and 2.

    If that doesn't sum up cricket nothing will.

    Great bowling early from Kuhnemann. With that much turn in the first 35 minutes on day one, it will be another fast game.

    2 down now - and spot on. Great to watch, hell to play on as a batter or fast bowler.

    Can see why Steve Smith is struggling at slip - even with that catch he is bending at the waist and his hands weren't together.

    holy shit, 3 down.

    Lyon turns one from way outside off, keeps low, bowls Pujara. Ridiculous.

    You play with fire, you get burnt.

    Bloody hell, with that sort of turn from Lyon in the first hour, it might be a two day game.

    might struggle to get to day 2!

    India 4 down

    Edit: 3 down. Kohli got a touch on it with his bat, no LBW

    Jajdeja saved by the thinnest of edges, and then throws it away next ball.
