75 runs lead is HUGE in the context of the game. Given the brilliant form of Nathan Lyon and given how Indian batsmen are not like the yesteryear guys (Azhar, Laxy, Ganguly...) who kill spinners, these days our batsmen are tentative. - And India batting 4th Inn, Aus are in massive setup to win Adelaide with Harris, MJ, Siddle and Lyon. With spinner in play and 4th Inn - 75 run lead ~= 150 run lead

Not. We will have to bat full day on Day 5. M will not declare anything less than 350-360 on Day 5. So Aus will have to score 280 in 75 overs today. Likely they will bat on D5 with some early wkts now..so they will have to slow down. 100+ run is huge 73 runs is manageable.

Watch...60-70 overs Aus will score 300 (plus 75) and set 350/375 target and 5th day pacers and Lyon will be HUGE. That 75 will help with earlier declaration.
