[six and out]

I love this from Monty, apparently O'Keefe is like a Hyundai i30...

Great stuff. panesar was an excellent bowler.
Its early days in coaching but the aussies are not daft....has monty had an affect on the left armer in this early stage?
Very hard to tell the impact of coaching.
Ive seen a bit, not a lot of the test..looked like okeefe bowled it 'into' the pitch at pace..same as Monty used to
Coincidence?

[Biggie Smalls]

I think Monty bowled into the pitch at pace and Sok natually does the same , so probably more like Monty just confirming that 'your method is what works in india , dont doubt yourself or change anything'.  Different scenario for Lyon though as his natural methods are not nearly as well suited to s.c.

Sorry but there's no comparison between Monty and SoK. The main difference is Monty could turn it square whereas SoK bamboozled the Indians with lack of turn

[Number4]

Aussies started well taking 2/72 with a wicket falling on the last ball before lunch.... The Aussies are bowling really well. Starc and Hazlewood opened well followed by SOK and Gary really putting the Indians on the back foot

And Gazza bamboozles Kohli 😄

Pressure telling on kohli already?

Plumb and wasted a review, absolute gold.

Great bowling by Sok

I was watching it and when India were 100 odd for 3 I thought "looks a better track", then in the last half hour okeefe has got it to shoot, bounce and turn square. This isn't lasting 5 days if it keeps going through the top!

Pitch has already gone! 275 might be a good score here

Lyon was getting it to bounce and turn nicely from the beginning but it's like someone has turned a switch on and now it's turning square and who knows when's going to bounce or nearly roll

[Number4]

And there is a Michelle for Lyon. 55 wickets against India

[Felix Tito]

How someone as talentless as Lyon is playing Test cricket is beyond me. India gifted this mug a 5fer

Surprised jadeja still doesn't have a bat sponsor.
