While there were some poor shots, Smith made it very clear that batting wasn’t all that easy.
The Indians didn’t fare too well with the bat either ... although poor running between the wickets and some very good fielding made a huge difference.
And there’s nothing like sustained, well-directed fast bowling to sort the sheep from the goats

But I must be a racist
When was the last time two former Australian Test fast bowlers umpired a Test? I reckon never!

I think that they have done a pretty good job. The only blemishes I’ve noted are allowing Payne to mouth off and not pulling Bumrah up for his petulant breaking of the stumps. Stamp on that and everyone else will toe the line. That said, all of the Tests seem to be played in a good spirit.

Jadeja has a broken and dislocated thumb - game over
I have enjoyed watching him play. He is a very talented and entertaining cricketer and I hope he makes a full recovery.

Jadeja is India's version of Maxwell, probably the best all-round cricketer in India, but not loved by many officials and team-mates!
