Part of a great era is holding the Ashes for 8 years, winning the 3 big major trophies, World Cup, World T20 and the World Test Championship. Obviously not great like the late 90s/2000s but like world champions in other sports, there's levels of great.

Pitch offering nothing. Ball doing nothing. Bowlers not bowling well.

That too I’d take competitive in India lol this “great” period we haven’t beaten them for a decade home or away
On the positive side, if India do win this then at least the series will still be alive come Boxing Day! Been a crap day of Australia up 3-0 and the Indian crowd stayed home.

‘doctored’ pitches are the only reason Australia even competed.
Australia drew in Sri Lanka.
Drew in England - against a side pilloried by the way as being something of a novelty.
Lost in India.
Drew at home to West Indies.
That has come after losing to India twice here as well.
Labelling the last couple of years as anything other than slightly better than average is a complete misrepresentation.
Bar recently, no one wins in India because their curators cheated for years. Can't deny that. Even our greatest sides wouldn't overcome that. Fortunately, they didn't do that in 2004.

It’s a good era not a great one that’s the point. You can’t be flogged by India home and away, not beat England in England away and be called great. A drawn series isn’t a win whatever way you spin it
The good news is, Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood have committed to playing all 5 test matches, they will not be rested!!!

Are we almost worse at home vs India than England are vs us here? We laugh at the English for how they do here

It’s close but I’d almost say yes. Least Cooks team won here
Where on the wrong side of this.
But its beautiful test cricket by India.
India reluctantly have avoided playing red ball cricket.
Preferring the white ball +$$$ available .Recon they will fancy themselves in tests.

I wish the media would pile on and talk about our team like that then. Hammer them and hopefully they fire up. Talking them up has made them think they’re invincible

Shit pitch makes for shit cricket. Over juiced for the first day and a half, absolute road thereafter, which even Starc and Hazlewood could last on.

It’s not a great test team: it never has been with this group. Different members of it have been. The team itself hasn’t.
We got a wicket!!!
Let loose the
