I want to see him on the front foot to Bumrah. His inability to do this has been what's caused him issues this series. Needs to go out with an intent to score, not just survive and wait for short balls he can pull.

He can play front foot shots. Can't pull everything.
 
Just watched the way Kohli ran at Konstas after the Khawaja dismissal. Wow...

I like Kohli and I've defended him a lot over the years, but goddam.

I hope we beat these pricks!
Kohli is doing some stuff that we wouldn't even defend if it was an Aussie player doing it.

Well if Bumrah can't bowl in the first 2 hours of Australia's second innings there's no reason he can't get off to a good start
 
the last 4 will get more than 70, when they should only get 30 tops
The two that are at the crease now average 49 and 35 respectively. You can mark down their projected totals based on the pitch, but 70 would probably be par. Not in terms of what we can chase but for what they would expect from their last batters tomorrow.

We need to get them out for less than expected to be a realistic chance. And that would be the 30-50 run range.

If so, we could be in for a real chance to either win or draw this game. I would never have thought that after our first innings capitulation. It partly revolves around how quickly and/or the low score we can wrap up these last 4 Indian wickets… the second part will depend on the gumption of our batting line up and whether Bumrah is bowling or not.
I think we can discount the draw - there's too much time left, and the rain won't arrive before the afternoon of day 4. It's more than likely to be over by then.

Marnus for mine
 
You can't expect a great of the game to let a 19yo debutant to carry on like he is David Hasselhoff.
Put yourself in the same position.
I think that disqualifies him from being a great of the game somewhat.

If he feels the need to be physically bully a player - he becomes just a very good cricket player and not a great.
