Re: Cricket: Australia vs India TEST SERIES
I still think Australia will win, but this has been very gutsy from the Indian team.
Re: Cricket: Australia vs India TEST SERIES
Incredible tour from India.
Pathetic from Australia. Probably their worst tour loss ever.
Paine instant sacking. Entire Cricket Australia setup needs to be destroyed and rebuilt.

A deserved win. First time since 1988 Australia has lost in Brisbane.

Re: Cricket: Australia vs India TEST SERIES
They are still slight favourites. The world's best bowling attack, on a 5th day wicket, with a very long Indian tail at a venue where they haven't lost since 1988.

Besides Paine, would Kholi be in trouble too as captain after this?

Well done India! That's an incredible win.
Re: Cricket: Australia vs India TEST SERIES
Presume Wade's out now. Any love for Head as cap (I'm not strongly for it, just putting it out there...)?
Re: Cricket: Australia vs India TEST SERIES
Well, that’s as good a win as I have seen.

Re: Cricket: Australia vs India TEST SERIES
Implications for the Test Championship:
Australia will drop to 69.2 and will need 89 points from the series against South Africa to go past New Zealand. That can only happen if they win at least two Tests and draw the third, in which case they will get 93 points from the series. Had Australia not dropped those four points for slow over-rate in Melbourne, they would have been on 70 even with a defeat. In that case, the runs-per-wicket ratio would have come into play (since teams have played an unequal number of series, the series wins isn't being considered in this cycle); currently, Australia's ratio is 1.42 while New Zealand's is 1.28.
India will move up to 71.67 with a win and will need 80 more points against England to top New Zealand. They can achieve that with a 2-0 series scoreline in the four Tests.

Re: Cricket: Australia vs India TEST SERIES
Kurtis Patterson or Alex Carey, who should be in the team ahead of Paine & Wade.

Re: Cricket: Australia vs India TEST SERIES
Australian fans, what's the post mortem for your team? Will there be changes for South Africa or do you think the selectors will show faith with the core of this XI? The batsmen struggled at times, but the bowlers also struggled to take 4th innings wickets in the last two tests. Lyon and Starc didn't have their best series and Cameron Green didn't take a wicket for the series.
