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.

I expected you to get battered. Fair play.

I wasn't overly confident. I just think India are not quite as good as they get pumped up to be and we are nowhere near as bad as some experts with big chips on their shoulders make out. Be interesting to see what pitches get served up next, I think this one helped us more than a flat road would.

Not so sure you have strike bowlers, proper consistent ones and with your bowling line up I think you have decent balance. I think your one or two players from a very good side.

Ah, the 3 day test match

I think most teams (probably quite rightly) are terrified of Warner if they prepare a road. I'm not sure even the most die hard Aussie expected this from SOK though.

Yeah I don't disagree, short a good keeper and all rounder.

He's bowling the right way for the conditions - with mostly side spin and letting natural variation take its cause. Lyon not really adapting to the conditions to be honest.

DRS is playing it's part as well, India's home intimidation has diminished a little.

[Big Mac]

For real though, an XI made up of random CBFers could have scored this many runs against O'Keefe. This has been embarrassing batting from India.

What a result for the aussies! Never saw that coming - outplayed India in every department.

[Alvaro]

I reckon they won't have any homework tonight.

Comprehensive.

Interesting to see how Virat assesses his own team.

Next 3 pitches should be roads ....then india will likely win . Indias batsmen showed no mettle . Kohli had a shocker in both innings , and that's not likely to happen too often . As an aussie I'm stoked but not counting any chickens yet ....not by a long shot .

[ppccopener]

Not sure they can prepare roads as such...
The aussies have struck early and done what we should of done
Very very impressive from australia

[skip1973]

Cricinfo would be melting down at the moment with excuses.

One win and all bashing started eh ? I for one was expecting Australia to put a big fight because the way they are ... And the first batting, Starc innings and poor Indian batting led to collapse. India will come back stronger but I believe this win was the everything combined together which also included Australia playing better than expected . No excuses but they were too good in alien condition and they used it properly .
