Oh, and piss Cummins off as captain. Smith is the man.

Well, that was a lot easier than I expected!
Excellent batting from Head and Lambuschagne.

Shame the Aussies did show that kind of fight in the 2nd test when they were in it up to their ears. The trophy may be lost but the series can be drawn.

You make me laugh EB
The pitch doctoring backfired and we somehow managed to select our best 11 players for the conditions.
There's probably more chance of our selectors cleaning up the bookies by leaving Travis Head out of the team at the start of the series.

Great interview with Smith after the game on SEN. He oozes leadership. Talked about how he said to the bowlers something along the lines of "Ill throw you around a fair bit, you won't like it or agree with me but just trust me. It's not that I think you are doing a bad job, it will be because I think in that moment someone can do it better".
Always ticking away that fella.

India bats charging down the wicket at our spinners in the 1st dig and batting like millionaires...thats cricket how Pakistan play the game when they are on the take...
And if Head hadn't got slightest touch with the toe of his bat, he's out cheaply and we would most likely have lost.
