We all know it’s going to be Bethell, don’t we?
I'd be much happier with Bethell as our spinner |

The man has ten (10) first class wickets in 23 games (and 37 in 96 white ball games) I do think it will happen though. Fwiw I don't think there's a spinner available who will be anything more than fine in Australia, so you might as well pick one that can bat (Bethell or Dawson). |

Often outnumbered, never outgunned.

Test cricket well and truly alive. Absolutely nothing compares to it. India need something special in this next 30-60 mins.

To be honest, this has never been in doubt today. A slight scare with the 2 quick wickets, but comfortable other than that.
A brilliant chase.

The fact India look set to lose a test match, in which they were 430-3 in the first innings, is quite frankly hilarious.

The draw was almost on the cards but fortunately the weather only interrupted for a couple of short breaks. |

This is only the third Test match in history in which all four innings have been 350 or more.
Mental stat.

Five live saying that for the first time in over 60,000 first class matches a team has had five centurions & lost. That’s some stat.

A brilliant match which revived my love of cricket and gave me some more value from my Skysports package.

Australian top order looking very, very fragile. Will be keeping a close eye on their series against the West Indies.
