Indian often starts at middle stump and hones towards leg stump. That is why they get punished.

Because on Indian pitches you get a lot of wickets by bowling that way. It doesn't work on wickets with a bit more bounce. In other places hitting top of off is considered ideal as it brings 3 dismissals into play.

What a luxury it is to have root bowling. Meanwhile we have our losers in the top order, can't bad, cant catch, can't bowl. 

 

Kohli has a record for dropping 4 catches in 30 minutes.

The biggest difference between Australia and England is the Anderson/Broad duo.

 

Especially Anderson, who has more experience than Cummins/Hazlewood/Boland combined and knows Engish conditions inside out. He has seen it all, getting hammered by Hayden and Ponting, troubling Tendulkar in patches and making Kohli his bunny few times.

Guy in your dp is a thing of the past. None of the current ones bother even with doing their primary jobs properly.

Smith/Labu duo that failed spectacularly.

Technically Root also gifted his wicket in 2nd dig. And also Root was going so well when they declared the innings.

Everyone is complaining about Khawaja's batting which is correct. He is literally not going anywhere. He relies on others to do the job while he is holdling forte.

Sangakkara politely reminds us of how Kohli bottled against STokes chasing a total of 194 in 4th innings lol

Kohli wasted his peak form unable to close out many 4th innings overseas victories

Austarlia has been at the wrong end in close chases f ew times. 2005 was the famous one. Lost by 2 runs. There was one match where chasing 323 against us they were 291/9. I thought we were gone for all money.
