Think all the off field stuff with Langar, the sponsorship BS he dug his heels in about has done for him, not a happy dressing room imo and Smith will probably get the captains gig for the Ashes.
Reckon that tour will probably end a few careers if it all goes to hell in a handbasket.....
re: India's pitch preparation is a disgrace and should be subject to a ICC review......they get away with these dodgy wickets every series and this pitch is no exception  to the others we have played on this series. Great to see then suffer this innings but its fecked the series and their control over the ICC is criminal in how they manipulate cricket in terms of fixtures, pitches, umpiring etc.
We will probably get bowled out for peanuts as well and the ICC need to grow some gonads and challenge these cheats........every team should just pick 10 left arm orthodox spinners and a keeper its such a farce...

India adopting the just bowl at the stumps, Aussie batsmen will do the rest.

Just noticed a Monash Uni sign on the electronic fence advertising, do they have a campus in India?

The Indians bowled too short.  It will be interesting to see whether they correct that after tea.  If not, we should build a handy lead.

Indian batting was dodgy....running at Kuhnemann, wtf!?! Chuck in cooked pitches and dodgy umpiring, nothing ever changes.

And they had the temerity to try to cook it over here, wouldn't play an early season game at the Gabba and avoided the WaCA.

Too much influence and it can only be good for cricket if this comes back to bite them.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

These pitches are a disgrace, the other test nations need to get together and do something about India and
the outrageous advantages they create for themselves at home.
If we produced corrugated green tops at home everytime India toured you would never hear the end of it and they would probably go home....
