In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
So the team selection continues to be a joke.
India 3-1 it is then.
Yep.. 3-1.
Aus batting 4th.. 2 spinners for us. Pitch doesnt look to have anything for the quicks..
edit: and jinxed it. Agarwal out.

Blew it again, Aggarwal.
Agarwal aside, who looked fluent before the brain-fade, it's been another meandering start, similar to Melbourne. The staying power and determination of the Indians keeping them slowly ticking along without loss. Honestly can't see Australia winning this if it continues this way.
Can't believe Kohli got out to that again
KL Rahul career gotta be done, at least in tests. Shaw will come back and open with Mayank
Every ball is in his head now. I'd drop him from all formats for awhile. I think they're keeping him on for the ODIs. Not sure that's the best thing to do. Ranji knockouts coming up - that may be more productive. Go out and belt some canteen staff..
Pujara man of the series comfortably.
Series winning day.
What a day. Mayank Aggarwal looked brilliant. Vihari looks a class act.
Rahane will be dropped too with Gill coming in the future.

Winning the toss as in the previous test matches proves to be crucial yet again. Best day of batting for either side in the entire series. Will be interesting to see if the pitch starts to turn in the final 2-3 days as expected but it's great to bat on right now.
Another 150-160 runs takes an Aussie win out of the equation.
Yep, if India can bat till tea tomorrow, the best Australia can hope for is a draw.
That should be the series. Australia are awful. I reckon we beat them with Smith and Warner. Their bowling has been so shit this series.
Apparently one of the Australian commentators jokingly said that Pujara has fewer shots than some Female cricket player. Funny since the only shot the Aussie batsmen know is the edge behind.
Pujara has been crazy good for this series.
All hail Pujara. I thought he'd never recover his form of old but he's completely made me eat my words.
Wouldn't mind if we can bat well beyond tea. Score 500+
That would be the sensible thing to do. India don’t need to force the matter. Bat them out of the game, worst case scenario is a draw.
I would be fine with us batting till both Jadeja and Pant get out.
They'll probably start taking more risks now.. but no point declaring as long as one of them is still around. 3 days should be plenty..

Go on Pant 
A good batting lineup is slowly emerging. Shame that we barely play any more tests this year.

Hard to believe Pant is 21.
He's replaced a legend behind the stumps, scored hundreds in England and Australia broken the record for most WK-effected dismissals, and successfully bantered out an Australian captain to the extent that their PM brings it up with him.
Good for him. He had a bright future ahead.

The last few innings, he's paced them very well, not gone out all guns blazing as he's known to do. That's the most promising sign imo

Class chant this.
Jadeja 
pure carnage
pure carnageDoesn't look like a declaration is on the cards. Don't mind that at all
Last 10 overs - 66/0
Think Australia will be asked to bat for 4-5 overs at the end of the day, still 15 overs to go. 10 overs like the last 10 would mean 670 plus and century for Jadeja plus 150 for Pant
The dressing room body language doesn't suggest a declaration today, looks like they already put their feet up to relax
Aus have given up ..
Booooo
Declared, I didn't think he would have, I wished he hadn't
Who was the clown here who thought Pant would never be good in tests?
Highest scores by a visiting wicket-keeper in Australia
169 - AB de Villiers (Perth) Nov 2012
159*- Rishabh Pant (Sydney) today
10 runs short

Think it was @zing but probably not as harshly said as you thinkWho was the clown here who thought Pant would never be good in tests?
Wait, why did we declare? I wanted a Pant double hundred.
Exactly. He's got a calm head on his shoulders. Hopefully India's keeper for the next decade.
Great innings by all the batsmen. This should be the end of KL Rahul's international test career for the foreseeable future.
I would have liked Kohli to hold off on declaring. Let Pant have his double century and make Australia field for as long as possible because the pitch looks like a beautiful one to bat on.
