Head will move the game for sure

[Kothili]

Downright lazy from uzzie

[Kothili]

Barbie will be all at sea outside England.

[Kothili]

Without their weather this bowling unit would stink. 

[Sgattick10]

Head gone as well.. What is the point of this tuk tuking? 

[vvvslaxman]

Broad is bowling great. beat the batsmen so many times

[vvvslaxman]

Cowardly batting by Australia despite being ahead. very unaustralian side.

[Kothili]

Why the hell is Head playing ahead of Marsh beats me. He is a walking wicket in these conditions.

Sending Head in against Broad in these conditions ahead of Marsh was a poor decision. Carey drop of Brook and this decision will haunt Australia 

[vvvslaxman]

Between the two sides Australia was unwatchable for neutral in this series. Apart from Marsh's innings and Head's streaky knock pretty boring stuff from Australia.

The more I see Aussies bat this series, the more I feel  Indian bowlers bowled awful against them.Rohit Sharma and his unimaginative captaincy did not help one bit.

 

 

[vvvslaxman]

Australia beat Pakistan in Pakistan 1-0, Drew with Srilanka in Srilanka 1-1 last year. That underlines their lack of killer instinct these days.

You cannot compare the quality of English bowlers in Englis conditions with  Thakur, Umesh, Siraj, Shami. That is the best they have.

 If India wants to be a all condition team then they should be doing as much as England bowlers.

 

This series has been played on much flatter wickets.Broad is on last legs and they don't have any spinners. Mark Wood and Woakes have had one good innings. Shami and Siraj should have done what Broad and Woakes have done in this series.

 

Indians let them off the hook, 460 was way too many runs.Marsh was not even in the team.

56.5

•

Woakes to Smith, no run

Beaten again. 83mph, good length again, same line but shaping in, he presses forward and plays for more swing and misses it

 

56.4

•

Woakes to Smith, no run

Beaten by a sharp leg cutter. 82mph good length, fifth stump line, he shuffled across to defend but it zipped away past the edge

No you need to have skill. You cannot randomly field a set of bowlers and  expect them to repeat what Broad has been doing over a decade. He has over 100 wickets against Australia in England at 26.  We played on a flat wicket too.  Our batting is just not as good as Australia's.  In current form even out of form Smith >>>> Virat Kohli,  Head >>> Kahane, Gujara.

FLASH NEWS: Anderson has picked up a wicket

[Nikola]

Wow pathetic batting by Australia. England should win this match now.

[Kothili]

Oz staring at a huge deficit here. McDonald and Cummins need to go. Atrocious tactics.

[vvvslaxman]

England should be embarrassed not to beat this phattu Aussies 3-1
