Selectors now busy getting their wording right for their post-game Sydney squad press release when they justify Marsh staying in the team as the team’s professional Gully fielder.

Rahul out is a BIG wicket. Rohit going for single figures was always expected (his highest score from 5 innings this series is just 10) - but Rahul has been in good form.
To be fair Rahul has still looked a little vulnerable to that short of a length ball it’s just the length & width Australia’s bowled to him mostly has been off, was served a lot of floaty wide half-volley’s he could easily drive through the covers especially at Perth & Brisbane.
Marsh coming into the attack now. Watch the run rate go up in response to the mud pies his bowling produces.

Jaiswal & Reddy are both in good form with the bat. Virat & Pant not in good form, but both very dangerous if they can hang around for a while. They batted for 119 overs in their 1st innings, so even if they don't get the runs, the draw is still more likely than an Australian win.

you guys are making the same mistake that Cummins made thinking that India might try to win this
They made their mind up to play for the draw at tea yesterday

Pretty much.
People talking like this is a road and they'll chase 340 in a day was ridiculous
It flew up......
That was simply brilliant bowling from Starc, set Kohli up perfectly. Pretty much bowled nothing but short of a length balls that mostly came back into him the previous over then bowls the wobble seem fuller sucker ball across him 1st ball of the next over.
After Blewy and Lane kept blowing smoke up Virat.

Virat is cooked, Sharma is done, the bowling attack is mediocre (other than the world's best bowler).
This isn't a great Indian team.
It's a pity we were so under prepared for Perth - this was the ideal series to win back the BGT.

340?
No, that's a good target. Gettable, and India is arrogant enough to think they have the talent.
They remember the Gabba and how they crushed us - they were timing this chase the same way. But they're not as good anymore.
290 and starting yesterday would have shifted the favouritism directly back to them.
The wicket still isn't doing much.

That's true too, but we were definitely underprepared for Perth.
I think we had played six test matches this year prior to it? And our players were sitting our cricket to be "fresh"?
Backing your talent isn't particularly arrogant.
Bit like being 7 goal down at 3QT, if you don't believe you can win you shouldn't be playing.
Pretty much, even with the usual home advantage teams have like shown in the last 2 Ashes series in England if you lose the 1st test as the host nation at the very least it usually turns the rest of the series into a scrap/tough task to try to get back in front by the end of the series.

Your odds are way off the betting market!!
TBH a draw is the most likely, India would not be 2nd favourite in any market

He did post that 2 hours ago to be fair
A draw is paying $1.45. If we could do live betting in SA, I’d take the $3.10 on offer for the AUS win.
Even so, an India win was always the long shot
