How many in Australia

It's ultimately been a pretty solid effort, just not to be with the rain delays. The first part of that is getting lost on some given the last hour.
I'd say if we can't trust Marsh to bowl more than he did in this situation, he shouldn't be in the team (especially with no Green). But can't fault Cummins and Starc's efforts today.

Absolutely. Their batting lineup can score incredibly quickly if they actually remember which end of the bat to hold.

In Australia: 262 wickets @ 31.20
They needed most to be in to stop singles, just aim top of off stump, and make them take a risk to score.
We had a long on when there should have been a mid on, easy single. Then had Starc at mid-off way to wide. They get a few singles through there. Just got it all wrong. Plus he is trying to think about all this when he is totally knackered. When he was that stuffed and still bowling through necessity let Smith take charge for a while.

If India were smart they just give the fast bowlers 1 spell in the morning and then rotate the part timers for the rest of the day. Con Australia into thinking that Khawaja, Labuschagne and Marsh are in form and McSweeney is a test opener
Bowl them out first ball tomorrow. 150 runs in a session. Then bowl them out in 2.

Everyone keeps saying this and yet I haven’t seen a single person actually say that Inglis should be in over Carey.
I’ve only seen people say Inglis should be in as a specialist bat.

Marsh said pre-game that he was willing to bowl more overs for the team if required. That hasn't been anywhere near the truth.

Quote Marsh:
"I'll try and be ready to bowl as much as Patty needs me. Our allrounders haven't bowled a hell of a lot in Australia the last few years"
Mitchell Marsh 'ready to bowl as much' as Australia need him to in Brisbane
"Right now, the back is feeling as good as it has felt," Marsh says ahead of the Brisbane Test against India | ESPN.com.au

It’s not his fault if the captain doesn’t throw him the ball.
Lyon only bowled one last Test to be fair.

Some of the melts here are ridiculous.
We have a lead of 190.
We have dominated the test.
Are the stupid short ball to the tail tactics annoying - yes.
Should we have bowled them out and been able to enforce the follow on - yes as well.
Was Smiths drop costly - yes.
Would we have won if not for the drop? Who knows
Fact is we have lost a good 5-6 sessions in the match to rain
Was always pushing it uphill to get a win in that context

yeah spot on - the game is now gone.
no point risking losing to win, with the way the series is poised and with hazlewood out of the game.
no point risking our bowlers tomorrow - would hate to go to melbourne without another quick.
He would've if he could've. He was needed for 10 or 12 overs today. Would have kept the fast bowlers fresher and probably got the follow on.

I see you watching me watching you
You just know we’ll set them about 300, and Kohli will make 150 and get them the win.
F*****t selectors picking Hazelwood and Marsh who can’t bowl and Smith dropping a bloody sitter

Its fascinating mindset that enters the bowler and captain with the short pitch stuff to the lower order.
We are far from the only team that does it just makes me chuckle a little.
If the new ball can cause trouble then it’s our batsmen that will get it first
Just bat all day and tire out bumrah whose there only decent bowler
When Lyon bowls that leg stump line he looks about as dangerous as a plastic butter knife trying to cut a well done steak.
