An hour to go would have left India a target well under 300 with a full day + 10 overs. Easy get
Easy get? They are 7-150....
In this part of the multiverse

Who gets man of the match if Aus wins? Cummins?
Gotta be Bumrah
It definitely ISN'T Marsh

Pretty doubtful that Washington, Bumrah and Siraj are going to survive a dozen overs with the new ball.
Man - it is fuckwitted of Pant to be caught in the deep when they're playing for the draw.
Mark Waugh was highly critical of his first innings shot - he'll be scathing of this one. I agree with Mark.
Can't see the game due to fucking rain fade!

Do India have the guts to drop Sharma for Sydney needing a win?
Or even Kohli who arguably should have been banned anyway

Great test match though great drama over all 5 days

How does it play politically?
He's just overseen a home series whitewash, then done nothing out here except "chuck it to Bumrah" in terms of captaincy.
Sydney result probably a draw thanks to weather. Bumrah cooked.
Fall on your sword

Indian selectors are usually like Stead-on-Steroids when it comes to conservatism.
Should happen - and they could give him a test farewell against some bunnies somewhere else - but, it won't.
Picking Rohit, the Jaiswal run-out and Pant's stupid shot probably the three things that lost India the match.
But, their other errors also meant they were substantially outplayed.

You don’t need to tell kiwis either about the importance of catching.

Bullshit call despite Cummins having a fine match.
It’s perfectly reasonable to give it to someone on the losing team.
Well done, Oz, never really in doubt once they were 33/3.

Not just the India drop catches but conversely the quality of Aus catching
Guys like Marsh and Smith with excellent catches and also well placed in terms of their field placings (i.e. Smith close enough at slip to not have the ball die in front of him).

Smith has pulled off more than his fair share of
room of dicksgreat catches during his career. Great catcher in general -

Specialist catcher.
Every team needs one of those @NTA

Sharma and Crawley should form some sort of support group for openers who still get subjected to opening despite being shit
-
I did not see that level of abject surrender coming. But then again the Black Caps showed the world the soft underbelly of this Indian team.
Without Bumrah they'd get smashed by Afghanistan.
