Smith a bit naughty for his repeated attempts at the Dressingroom Review System too.

True character is always shown when under the pump not compiling another century at The Gabba bullying whoever is visiting.

All good fun, makes the rest of the series an event.

Thoroughly enjoyed the ebb and flow of this one.
I think Kohli is a good captain for India - he brings aggression and passion to the role. Not so Smith. He's an average captain - in a series of average captains. Warner would be better - a bit of mongrel and a f**k you attitude

Top series from a neutral point of view

Close cricket with good and bad being shown by both teams

1st test was a superb win for Australia - one of the best I've seen by them in a long time

Great win for India in the 2nd given the 1st innings deficit on a deteriorating pitch on which Australia bowled well

Yep. Awesome fun so far this series.

As an Australian supporter I am quite pleased with the second test. As you say good bowling in the 1st innings on a good deck. The last innings would have been special if they had got the runs. That pitch was virtually unplayable. In Sharma's first over 2 skidded along the ground. In the second over Ashwin bowled one that hit a crack and bounced over the head of both batter and keeper. Crazy stuff.

Starc out of the test team

Why are young Australia fast bowlers always breaking down?

This has been a recurring problem for them

If they play on anything other than a pace-friendly road they might as well be bowling on Mars.

That and the colonials are obviously genetically inferior to their natural betters.

Personally I would like to see the pitch first, then see who wins the toss, before making any bold predictions.

Looks like the Indians have rolled a Day 9 pitch. No bounce to kill off Cummins and Lyon.

One thing is for certain, if the Aussies stand a chance, they need to win the toss.

Better make plans for Sunday as there won't be any cricket to watch.

I use Sportsdevil on Kodi (Schism build) - Kodi can be installed on virtually any platform

They use a UK Sky Sports stream

I watched a lot of the NZ v SA test last week. Quality was not great but acceptable

I just paid for Fox Sports for a month or 2. Super Rugby is on too so I thought why not.

I'm kind of over Super Rugby at the moment - too repetitive, too boring

Six nations is the bomb this year
