      Considering the number of players they've had unavailable India have done very well to be level after three Tests - especially when they were 30 odd all out in the first test. Think getting a result at the Gabba with a B team might be a bit beyond them though.

      Poor form again from the Aussies with the verbals on the fifth day and Smith deliberately scuffing the crease but none of that surprises me

      Poor form again from the Aussies with the verbals on the fifth day and Smith deliberately scuffing the crease but none of that surprises me anymore.

      anymore.

      Yeah will lose at the Gabba. Aussiesnl have slipped back to their old ways again which is their thing when they're not winning.

      Smith again crossing the line probably be crying about it tomorrow.

      Cannot believe Australia lost that match and the series.

      Unbelievable cricket from My Mother country with their B Team

      Aussie cricketers should hang their heads in shame, especially our openers who give us nothing, game in and game out!

      Spin will be a big problem for England for the rest of the winter. Both playing it and bowling it.

      India's pace bowling is pretty handy as well. A long winter ahead

      Very true.

      Wonder how many of them will be back fit, they had their whole first choice bowling attack injured by the time of the last test in Australia.

      England a bit fu**ed in this match I think. Not too much they can do about it because their spin options are average.

      Jimmy Anderson though what an incredible sportsman.

      Shame he's from Burnley :D

      Bloody hell, ridiculous wicket this.

      England back in it but going to need someone to match what Rohit did.

      At the end of this match they will be able to remove this pitch with a dustpan and brush

      need to win this next match with it being a pink ball day night nonsense.

      Better for us in England as its a more palatable time which is of course one of the main reasons for doing it, but the overall game is bastardised somewhat.

      Might swing under lights, might not spin as much. Depends what pitch they have made really i guess.

      So they've made another minefield, but this time we won the toss and India have to bat last. The Indians have basically made the games a lottery by making the pitches too unplayable.

      If England can cobble 200 together they've a chance. I think our batsman have to play for the straight ones early on and protect their stumps and hoping it turns past the bat. Got out to a lot of balls skidding on yesterday.

      I dont think he hit that for the 3rd wicket. I know there's a spike but the ball doesn't deviate and the spikes continue long after the ball passes the bat.
