I don't think Australia will ever be in the same category as Zimbabwe, you can only face what is placed in front of you.  ;)

Dhawan - very impressive indeed!
Looked smooth and made it look effortless to score quickly!
Ok....not against the best bowling, but not the worst! Looking forward to seeing how long they go on for! Then India have some quality batting to come, so Aus may have a daunting time!

Suspect that they will try and take what comes until they get into the lead then throw caution to the wind and try to get well clear in time to give Australia a testing, tired hour at teh end of the day.  There doesn't look to be a lot in the Aussie attacjk that will stop them scoring quickly when the accelerator goes down!

His innings has accelerated the game and could force a positive result if Himself/Dhoni/Kohli can go at 5/6 an over again tomorrow, it'll leave Australia to bat out 4 or so sessions for the draw!

Dhawan looked tremendous, but some of the bowling was absolute dross. I know Steve Smith is a part time bowler now, but seriously, two full tosses in one over then two half trackers in the next? Wouldn't expect to see that in a Sunday game...

Apparently Clarke couldn't bat because of his back, he must have re-injured it.
And I suppose in this test match one could say that Smith is one of the form bats.....

Another seriously tough day at the office for the Aussies.

At least Phil Hughes is scoring runs...

Good effort from Siddle here, makes Watsons and Maxwells dismissals look even more stupid
