A good side still chases that target
Dont think so, almost impossible 4th innings dustbowl vs ashwin.
Smith out to a ball that rolled, SMarsh a wide given LB, didn't think they batted badly at all.

"A good side does this or that" is really a meaningless statement. I would say if we manage to win in India we're a "good side" regardless

And we really should have at least gotten alot closer than we did.
Such an abysmal run chase in that 4th innings.

It was a poor shot for sure.
However, other days that could have been given not out.

Yeah I don't think I've ever seen anyone get stuck into Warner on here before.

No way would I play 2 left arm orthodox spinners against their line up with so many right handers.

Orthodox spinners prefer right handers...their arm ball is lethal to them. It means their regular off spinner doesn't need to turn much.

Deserves more criticism. He's been hopeless as usual.

Yeah but footmarks don't come into play against right handers, we saw how ineffective O'Keefe was in the last test, if it's a pitch that suits a left arm orthodox bowler O'Keefe will get the job done, but if it isn't we'll be stuck with 2 (if we play Agar).

I'd rather play 3 spinners and one quick with Starc injured, with the number 6 being whatever type of AR you want. I love Cummins but I don't see him doing more than Agar, and Agar adds to our batting depth, not saying Cummins can't bat but Agar is better.

Bit then again, without Stark there probably won't be any footmarks for the off spinners to work with.

This is where we'd kill for a player like Watson, a top order batsman who can bowl decent seam.
If we played 3 spinners Stoinis would have to play.

Yep which is why I was a fraction surprised why Behrendorff wasn't the nominated replacement. That said I understand they wanted pace.

I wouldn't be against Stoinis playing. It is a gamble but he has shown an ability to graft an innings more than Maxwell has.
I agree on watson. jeez we'd kill for a player like him right now. to think we tried to replace him with Mitch Marsh..

Not fussed either way to be honest. As long as we don't play Khawaja on a turning pitch I'm happy.
I think the one good thing about the last Test is that my expectations have been reset to zero, so anything positive that happens will be a nice bonus.

Toss will be crucial, lose it and we have to be batting by the end of today, if not it's game over, I'd play Bird ahead of Cummins, just don't trust Cummins to get through the game, get him right for game 4, as for the other replacement, a lot will depend on net sessions.

Exactly how is Cummins going to "get right' by the 4th test by not playing? If you were doing that he'd be playing for NSW!
