Yuck, going to take something special from here.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Hands Comb

 

[Chism]

Oh gee look we are struggling against spin batting last in a test match.....

 

[Torz]

In what world was that sort of shot necessary in this situation?

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Said we'd be four down tonight make that six now

 

[Richard Pryor]

What annoys me more is thinking back to Khawaja in the commbox on Fox telling Gilchrist and co. that the game has passed them by.

 

[ep2018]

India are going to clean sweep us arent they. in Australia. What a joke.

 

[PP34]

I’m on 8 runs, our team needs to be as careful as possible with our wickets and it’s only day 4. So I’m gonna try smack a spinner out of the park before I’ve even got my eye in.

What a ****ing moron.

 

[catpremier 07]

Its amazing how much we relied on Steve Smith.
Put a fork in us we're done

 

[k31th]

Khawaja never looked comfortable...

Should have defended that shot after he didn't make the pitch of it...

 

[HBF]

Why would Khawaja play that shot.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Reckon marsh will be last man standing by 6pm...

 

[Soups]

PH will nick off trying to glide through the slips.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Why would Khawaja play that shot.

Wanted to take the pressure off by hitting the spinner out of the attack instead of knuckling down and doing the hard yards.

 

[Kram]

That shot was obviously a directive of Graeme Hick's coaching.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

It's like these idiots completely ignored how Pujara went about it

 

[Financialpanther]

The stupidest decision made by a Khawaja this week and that says a lot!

 

[Woody15]

There was a time when mid-30s averages wouldn't get you in a Shield side, bar perhaps Tasmania. Now it gets you into the Australian line-up.

Massive differences in FC averages for the Indians and the Australians for this test. Crazy how bad our domestic comp is currently.

Have to take on the pace attack here and play natural shots as we have been in our shells this whole test as eventually the spinners will get us out if we keep the conservative mind approach.

Honestly this batting lineup is the worst i have seen for over 15 years.

I seriously doubt we make 400+ this whole test series no matter where it is played.

 

[Mazza1234678]

lock him up with his brother

just as stupid as that moron

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Running India into top form, well done Aussies!

 

[Richard Pryor]

Kohli beating his chest when he's had about as much influence as Khawaja this Test. Probably more of a negative impact given his slips placement kept Harris out there longer.

 

[Westend]

Why would Khawaja play that shot.

Because he is struggling rotating the strike

Just stupid from Usman

For the next test.....Move him to opener.....handscomb to three

Its basically down to this pair.....just bat please just bat

 

[jr4jane2004]

Horrible shot from Usman. Wouldn't be surprised if we bowled out this arvo. This team has no killer instinct don't want to tough it out.

 

[PoopingHindi]

Why would Khawaja play that shot.

the great Aussie sides of the not too distant past would always say that day 5 was a golf day.
this team is just trying to keep the tradition alive.
