Did you miss the bit about Athers or that every team is at it ??

Anyway, it�s an emotive subject where peoooe wither couldn�t care less about cheating so ignore it or get so enraged that their team does it or gets caught they become blinded.

Pujara.. what can you say.. isn�t the best player by a long way but boy does he know how to play test cricket. Leaves well and waits for he shits he wants to play. Literally every England player including root should watch, the notes and replicate

Interesting that you attribute all the qualities of an excellent player and say that Pujara is the best player by a long way. Curious to know what is the best player in Tests then.

The conditions in this series have really played to Pujara's strengths and he has taken full advantage. He showed during India's tour of England last year that he is all at sea against the moving ball, but where the bowling is gun barrel straight and there is little pace or bounce in the wickets, there is no one around with better concentration and endurance. I can't say it's been much of a spectacle to watch this series as a neutral, but that's the fault of the groundsmen not the players and Pujara is perfectly suited to the attritional cricket that the pitches have demanded

I thought Pujara acquitted himself quite well on the tour, got a big score and looked decent mostly. Probably their second best bat in the Tests vs England.

Its amazing how you nicely left out England and the various times they have cheated and have admitted to tampering the ball.

Go on then I'll bite, what are these 'various times' they have admitted to ball tampering.

Looked like a walking wicket against the moving ball in my view with a very predictable pattern of dismissals. Averages of 29 in England, 15 in NZ and 32 in SA give a pretty clear picture of his technique against lateral movement.

Pujara is an attritional batsmen. He�s not even close to being technically perfect but, and here is the key bit.. he knows his game, his plans and has the discipline to execute.

That compare to Rabaul, Vijay, dhawan, rahane and whoever else is a golden child of white ball cricket in India who can play shots alone but lack discipline. That�s what is required in the top 3 of test cricket.

It�s not a very good series really but it�s good to see someone just leave outside off and the short ball and force bowlers to bowl to them. Just watch other players who simply can�t leave and flap at short bowling

3 tons in a 4 match series is pretty good going. Perth and Adelaide were fairly bowler friendly and there were alot of plays and misses in the first session yesterday aswell, not sure if that was due to movement

Technique is overrated anyway to be honest, mindset and mentality is everything. Hats off to Pujara!

Pujara 193, Pant 142* and Jadeja 81* close Australia out of the series 605-6 currently. Some devilish hitting by the sword wielding Jadeja

Love seeing Australia suffer. The arrogance and total disrespect for their opponents over the years makes watching them battle so sweet.

True tht. Done and dusted.

Warne talking how OZ can win LOL

Bowl them out and then just bat out the rest of the match. Even in the final hours when the captains can agree to finish just keep batting on.

"Interesting suggestion from Shane Warne on air. Because Australia needs to win this match, the only way is for Australia to declare just 1 run past the follow on mark and pass it on to Virat Kohli. See if he wants to bat out a draw or give something to the Aussies to chase and win."

Making India set a score is the option once a team scores this many. Once a team scores this many the chances of winning for the oppo are small, regardless of format. At least Aus can ensure India can�t win (or try) rather than just give it away.

Chances Of these Aus batsmen not playing shot and flapping at short balls is slim tho

Bat for as long as possible and see how much of the game is left. Certainly don�t try and score quickly or you�ll be bowled out for far less and India will be in the box seat with sessions to bowl you out on day 5. Aus need to bat for all of day 3 and pretty much 4 or they�ll most likely lose easily
