Smith was dropped 5 times...

This, drop an opposition captain 5 times in a low scoring game and you won't win many. Just watched the highlights of day 2 and a lot of India's batting was pretty poor tbh, few filthy slogs in there.

Love the look of disbelieve in kohli's face after getting bowled shoulder arms to o'keefe

The pace the left armer is bowling is interesting, he is firing it in.....on a pitch that turns that's very very hard to play.

Perhaps in contrast to the eng series just watching Ali and Rashid I've always thought it's slow thru the air.

Swann and panesar used to bowl it with a bit of pace, like okeefe is doing here.....

Lyon looks to give it more loop and air when he is bowling

Both reviews gone for India, shame that. Be great to see Kohli get a roughie with no review left.

Reckon they should of been able to review the use of a review? The second was an absolute howler!!    Maybe they'll find a loophole for Kohli, as captain, to make an overall decision while they're out there batting so he stands a chance 

Anyway, antoher one bites the dust. WICKETS IN THE CRICKET

How has O'Keefe with a f/c bowling average of 23 only played 5 Tests? Even on a raging turner Lyon is rubbish yet this clown has played nearly 60 Tests

[Felix Tito]

Cheeky little 10fer for O'Keefe. 10/64 extraordinary

If slow deliveries that do nothing at all are this dangerous at test level then I expect a call from the chairman of selectors this summer.

I was just thinking this, if slow deliveries that don't turn and bounce are the order of the day I reckon I could average sub 20 quite comfortably in Asia

Second 5fer of the match for SoK. Test cricket easy game hey? 5/33

[ppccopener]

turing into a complete rout of India this which lets be honest, is a surprise.

It's a different game when you're playing under pressure.

Another chance down off Lyons bowling, he is almost unplayable, great foil for O'Keefe's straight balls. Be some good reading when I go back through all the predictions later.

Steve Smith is without doubt a game changer and shows what hard work and ability.
