Test Championship Final: Aus v India

Would rather be in Australia's shoes, but the outcome of Day Five probably depends on whether Rahane and Kohli are still batting after the first hour.

Very much. That is the key. They’ll be hoping they can pull a Dravid/Laxman type partnership out of the bag. Getting Kohli early is vital for Australia’s chances and they know they can do it.

Jadeja in next and very capable too. He has a first class top score of 331 and average of 45. Wow, if he could do that at test level he’d be in the discussion for greatest all rounder ever.

Amazing stuff ( either that or padding his average in batting friendly roads in India )

Good catch Steve Smith

Kohli out for 49

[Duluth]

Two wickets in the over for Boland

His career bowling average briefly went above 15. Back down to 14.5 now

[Duluth]

Terrible review

Green's fielding at Gully is incredible. Such a huge wingspan combined with such a high level of skill and instinct.

And for the Indian fans to start calling him a cheat?

perfect.

[NTA]

Goat does it again.

Getting pay from around the wicket.

[NTA]

One to go.

[Duluth]

6 wickets in the session so far.. 9 down

Shame I missed Boland's opening spell. Apparently he was dominant

[canefan]

If India make the final again I suspect they will demand the final be played on the subcontinent next time...

@NTA

consistent and nagging

Starc v Hazlewood for the last spot in the Ashes attack?

Think you need the left hander but that's a hard decision.

[Duluth]

@NTA

Very hard call. In England I’d be tempted to go for Hazlewood

….and he gets a two ball duck. I should talk up Indian players more often.

Top work Australia, well deserved.

Now onto the Ashes where you’ll very possibly have my support despite a kiwi coach and captain.

Here’s to an awesome series coming up.

[sparky]

Congratulations, Aussie.

[KiwiMurph]

Well deserved win Australia. By far the better team.

I reckon they are going to smoke the English.

To be fair it's weird it's always in England and they've never made a final
