Heard a stat that marsh has never scored a 4th innings 50. Pretty poor given how many tests he’s played now. Perfect chance to rectify that

This is some fight from the Aussie tail - showing the top order how it’s done.
40 to win now with the last pair in.

India struggling with the tail again

India win by 31 runs. Been an interesting test match
Some seriously poor shots from both sides this match. A lot of t20 shots.

Aussies will need to think about a 5th bowler and possibly finch’ position. Struggles against the moving ball and woefully out of form

Finch may not be a Test player.  If he is, its hard to see that being as an opener.

Well done India a deserved victory and after some of the choking in South Africa/England this might be a turning point, granted Australia are missing Smith/Warner.

Both sides have issues with the composition of their XI. Australia probably need Burns to replace Finch and an all rounder whom probably should be Stoinis. India can afford to keep Shaw on ice until Melbourne but they should axe Rohit. Ashwin's poor fitness was exposed on D5 and they'd be better to have Jadeja replace Rohit.

I don't know why Jadeja isn't one of the first names on the sheet. A superb lower order batsman, fantastic fielder and a guy who bowls left arm as good as anyone.

Australia name unchanged XI, captain Paine deemed fit despite his right index finger looking a sorry state.

Prithvi hasn't recovered so it's a bat off between Rahul and Vijay. Ashwin and Rohit ruled with injury. Vihari into the XI. Final place is toss up between Kumar/Jadeja/Umesh.

I know it's a day out but the track at Perth is looking quite green.....

Think the Aussie batting line up would be more worried looking at that wicket.
Should make for a cracking game if it actually does move a bit with pace and bounce. Would be interesting to see what both captains would do if they win the toss. Can’t remember the last time a Aussie captain won a toss and stuck the opposition in at home

Jadeja is a good controlling option. He can bowl tight lines and hold one end up. My guess is that India will pick Vihari and Bhuvi as the replacements with Vihari also playing the role of the part time bowler.

Australia 222-4 just ahead of the second new ball. India have bowled a little short. Ball is pretty soft Head slogging freely

232-5 Vihari gets Marsh. India might regret not selecting a frontline spinner as Vihari has 2fer

Aussies in a great position with Pitch doing plenty. Can only see the bounce getting worse.

Don’t see India getting more than 200 on here

Loving this pitch. Its a shame most of the pitches in Australia have become so docile.
