Colin you dick
Not the first he's dropped in recent times!!!
Some of our catching has been a bit ordinary in this test. At least three regulation catches put down - and it could end up costing us big.
This match is critical for the World Test Championship. I reckon the winner is odds-on to play Australia in the final.

Australia? No way, india are way out in front, can't see them being caught the way they play at home. This is an aberration of a series for them I think

@nzzp Yeah - it's quite a strange format.
We've got a good draw, missing both England and South Africa (though it would have been great in hindsight if that recent series vs England had counted).
If we win here, we'll have a win, a loss and a draw. But home series vs Pakistan and the Windies to come, and we'd be strong favourites in those - plus a winnable series in Bangladesh. Win all those series and we end up with 4 wins a draw and a loss.
India odds on to lose in Oz, plus losing to us is two losses.
England has a win vs SA and a draw with Oz, but still has to go to India and Sri Lanka.
Oz has two wins and a draw - home series vs India to come, plus away vs the Bangles and SA. I've got them as favourites to win all of those, but you never know.
On top of this is the vagaries of points accumulated in individual series, but I think the overall series won, drawn, lost is a decent indicator.

Really great effort from the bowlers to keep us in the game, and amazingly even put us slightly ahead. If we can roll them in the first session then we get to bat in session two and three when it's generally a bit easier if the sun is shining.
With Boult, Southee, Wags and Jamieson there is some variety and no respite for the opposition. I don't think we can justify playing a spinner given we don't have any stand out performers in that discipline.
Bring on tomorrow - huge day in the context of this season and the world series.

I don't see the point of a spinner on a deck like that either
