Lots of grievances with the team's approach, management and selection.
But come on, they have played very well over all in this match. The Smith drop on ball one is likely the difference between a win and a draw, but he did score a critical century.
India hav e scrapped past the follow-on but have also been thoroughly outplayed to this stage. Let's see how day five goes.

This man is our national selector. His stance on not replacing our aging players is worse than his stance here, and that's saying something.

Neither is tactically much better. We need a tactical captain and a leader which we don't have. We lack leadership
We can scrutinise tactics etc. all night long but the reality is Hazlewood getting injured probably cost us any chance at the win.
Cummins/Starc were already stuffed and with rain around tomorrow this was always headed to a draw unless we wrapped it up at least before Tea.

There’s some irony in a pies fan responding to Geelong fan regarding replacing ageing players

No, we need to hold our catches and have a fit pace attack, Cummins has been fine.
Huh, nice pickup.

Yep.
It was stupidly pointed out as if batting has an impact on fielding. What he did with the bat does not change the impact of his dropped catch.
Surgeons don't excuse sewing a patient up with the organs in the wrong spot just because yesterday they saved a guy.

Howie asked Head about the possibility of being captain of the test team and it sounds like he doesn't want any part of it.
Especially if Cummins got sacked in the near future.

The last few pages have been pure garbage.
People dismissive of the India cricket team in Australia like its the 90's all over again.

I liked it. This match wasn’t defined by Cummins’s tactics, nor the selectors. It was the weather mainly, and also the fitness staff. Remove one, we probably win.

Completely agree. God damn there are some absolute spuds in here. India, are a good team, the weather has been bad, really bad, and we are a bowler down, and still, even still, we may win.

Of course not but the situation his dropped catch impacted probably doesn’t happen if it wasn’t for his inning so he can probably get let out on bail for that one

No you said this was entirely on Smith which is stupid, his batting had an impact on the game.
Putting us not winning entirely on him is incredibly stupid.

As reprehensible as their batting has been, and yes fully acknowledging the fact that one of their keys today should have been our first ball:
Wickets 5-9 put on 200 under extreme pressure in a huge situation in the context of the series.
It definitely didn’t hurt them that Australia’s best pressure builder was out of action.
They showed a fair bit more today than at most points of the series to date.

Some Australians just hate this Aussie team for some reason.
We have had very little go our way this test. Lost the toss and sent in, weather has been a thorn in our side, one of our front line bowlers going down injured and despite that we are still on track to lead by well over 150 at the end of the first innings yet people are still calling to dump our captain, sack our selectors, drop multiple players.
We are good weather away from a 2-1 lead against the best or 2nd best team in the world. Things could be better but damn they are not as bad as some one us to think.

If anything, this just proves AH's point. This is about what you'd expect (a much lower average in a 4th innings compared to a 1st innings) given that the global innings batting average for a 1st is over 31-32, and for a 4th innings is about 27.

Doesn’t really prove it it just shows that he does his job in fourth innings.
Stuart MacGill’s average for his career was a shade under 30.
It went up to 34 in the fourth innings.
Warnie was perhaps the greatest spinner of all and his fourth innings average is only 4 points lower than Lyon’s, and only 2 points lower than his overall average. Lyon’s drops 3 points lower in the fourth innings.

Lucky that's just words you put in my mouth and not what I said then.
