Was anyone watching the live coverage? Do you recall if they showed slomo closeup replays of the ball that got smith? I couldn’t find any close ups on the highlights. Sometimes warne and co do detailed analysis and was wondering if anyone can recall when (if) this was done. Thank you.

This is genuinely incredible. 19-6! Kohli gone.

Pretty average display by a much hyped batting lineup...

36 all out and Shami broken.

Wow, wow, wow.

Australia are the best in the world at pushing home an advantage and killing off teams. Always have been!

India's lowest ever score, and the lowest score in 65 Years.

The Aussie attack is the best I can remember for a long time. They have 3 thoroughbred pace bowlers who don’t give you much at all. Pat Cummins is just so good, Hazelwood is supremely accurate with enough pace to trouble anyone and Starc is fantastic with the new ball and probably the best in the world at mopping up the tail.

Lyon is a world class spinner like Grahame Swann, someone who can hold an end up and go for 2 an over first up then bowl the wicket taking deliveries needed when the pitch starts wearing.

Cameron Green looks a real find, not seen much of him but if he stays fit, someone batting at 6 and bowling 140k+ is a massive bonus. That’s some lineup.

They’ve got the attack to take 20 wickets anywhere in the world on any surface I think

I agree, @jamesisapayne. Only New Zealand's attack comes close in my opinion, but they are missing a top spinner. Australia's attack is just so comprehensive... More about keeping them all fit than anything!

NZ have a decent attack for sure, Trent Boult is a magician and Southee is superb too but I’d take Cummins and Hazelwood over them every day of the week, they’ve got the extra pace to give you the hurry up on a flat surface but also the skills to move it around.

 Lockie Ferguson is rapid but looks more of a white ball player to me and has injury issues, I can’t see him staying fit for long enough at one time and Wagner is an effective bowler but seems a bit of a one trick pony, although his tactics seem to be working   

You’re dead right about the spinner, I may be well off the mark but it’s probably a result of nz being such a seam friendly country, you only have to look at the amount of green tops they prepare for tests to see how much more they value their seam/swing bowlers

@jamesisapayne I just feel so conflicted at enjoying an Australian feat. It's not natural!  :D

lol, I feel your pain!  :D

I have huge admiration for them, and really enjoy watching them bowl.

Don’t get me wrong, I really love it when we beat the Aussies, but on a slightly deeper angle, I’m a cricket fan first and England fan second. Genuinely don’t get it when people don’t rate a player because they play for a different country.

And that knock by Tim Paine in the first innings was crucial to Australia staying in this game (seems funny saying that now seeing the state of the game). It was a super knock under real pressure, a proper captain’s innings leading from the front.

Paine's knock was key. Does anyone understand why Khawaja isn't liked? Surely he strengthens Australia's batting.
