Lots of talk around KL Rahul. Always found him a world class player who's second to none. Seems to be having a torrid time out there, has just one 50 in his past 10 innings. Hoping he comes good.

A classy knock once every 20 innings, a career avg of 33 after 47 tests, average of 26 since 2017, a proven track record of failing in all major ICC competitions - can't remember any other Indian player in recent or in past who got so many chances while managing such low average and non performance - not sure if that can considered as a classy player still. If aussies didn't have a brain fade in their 2nd innings, they would have won the 2nd test and KL would have been shown the door after postmortem. But not to be.

An interesting view on KL Rahul - he may be doing better than you think https://youtu.be/yiH_C2ZygT8

Very very sweary but I am really enjoying the Grade Cricketer reviews:

Frank and raw deconstruction of Ind/ Aus series.

I have to say I think we may have seen the last or Warner.

His record in England is terrible, he has been out of form for a while...

This is a great clip normally but with the Ind/ Aus synopsis as subtitles, it's even better than normal... 4 - 0 looks a good bet:

Really quite a shame if hes not given the chance to Tour England one more time.

Id love his coffins nails to be hammered in firmly over here in front of English crowds with a single figure average

In reality I dont think Head would be considered at the top in normal conditions so who is there to come in? Renshaw started his career as an opener but has been further down for a while now

All points to 5-0 England

Reaping what we've sewn, Langer being stabbed in the back by players is coming back to haunt them. Being popular dosen't make the best captain or coach.

Not convinced it will be 5 - 0. India is a false negative - Aus have routinely struggled there but still dominated elsewhere overseas.

Agree ref Langer. Been watching the Test on Amazon. An odd period.

Langer's coaching record in away tests is hardly fantastic either...

Thought this series was always predictable, Australia just don't have enough top order batsmen who play spin well.

Well yes, obviously. It wasn't a serious comment.

I'll put smiley faces next to it next time

Is it not mostly just that as a squad they’re pretty guff in Indian conditions?

It looks incredibly difficult in India to be honest and has been for a while. That England managed to win even 1 match there last tour is a feather in those players caps (thanks Roooot)

India have 3 spin bowling allrounders of the highest calibre and the pitches are made for accurate finger spin.

I dont think this will have any bearing on the outcome of the Ashes other than to perhaps change the aussies selection policies.

However - to say that Australia have dominated everywhere except India is not correct. They have lost in both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in the not too distant past and drew 2 out of the 3 matches in Pakistan last year. Need I remind anyone that they havent won a series in England since 2001 aswell.

Just seen that Cameron Bancroft has been in the runs again with 176* to set up a big win for WA in the Sheffield Shield.

How poetic if he was the man to replace Warner and end his Test Career

He was the disposable newbie in sandpaper gate so indeed it would be some justice if he did replace him.

According to Warner, if he is to be believed, orders came from higher up in the set up.

Personally I do not buy that, the Captain is in charge of the team on the field.

Bancroft seemed to me to be disposable which was the worst aspect of it.

Ball tempering as such is not that bad, all teams have done it.

Lying to the umpires and covering it up was much worse IMO
