Not a fan of Smith shutting up shop. Game is over but show some intent.

They agreed to declare in three overs and give India around 100 to chase.

So we're still going? Haven't called it yet?
We should get the curators in to look after some of the roadworks in Victoria. I reckon they'd do a great job adding another lane to Plenty Road!
ETA: Oh, called off just as I clicked Post. Lol

Should have batted the match out just out of pure spite.

Horrible pitch, shame 2-1 series was there for India to either rubber stamp a 3-1 win or Australia get a Draw... Shame on India
Overall thoughts for series.
This has been the worst set of options to follow a Test match on TV or radio that I experienced in all my years following cricket in terms of commentators on offer.
I had to turn the sound off tv so often or simply not bother much with radio because some of same ones were on there too.
Was horrendous.
Equally as bad as the pitches created for this series.

The divergence of endings between this Test and the Test between NZ & Sri Lanka could not be more stark - just look at the duldrums of this compared to the final ball for NZ v Sri Lanka...
Well done on producing some bang average pitches for what should have been a close series. First three tests were skewed heavily in favour of the ball, and now here there is literally nothing for the ball. This pitch should be rated as poor, but because it's BCCI, I seriously doubt they'll give them two poor ratings in a row.
Here's hoping UK can produce better decks for the Ashes and WTC that provide a better battle between bat and bowl.

Do not think they can.

Ashes will be bowler friendly as well, just quicks will benefit.

India need to have a good think about there pitches going forward.
BCCI is a disgrace. Rather than trying to engineer outcomes they could have just let two of the top teams in world cricket battle it out. This road to preserve a series win is as bad as it gets.

All in all a missed opportunity due to poor prep, second test brain fades and a little bit of injury luck.
This was not an all time great Indian side aside from spin depth. Their best fast bowler and keeper batsman match winner were missing.

They won. They'll be patting each other on the back.
India basically got nothing all series out of Rahul, Pujara, Iyer, Bharat and the second pacemen.
They beat us with half a side....
