I didn't like the look of this. Not playing another bowler is going to hurt us.

Marsh gone hopefully we can keep ticking them overPicked up the 2nd wicket when it was needed though. They were starting to look pretty comfortable.
Amen to that But goes to show that @KM we as indeed right, we're short by about 50 runs.Another timely wicket, but now it's time to pick some up for cheap
So you still think that?Not so sure about that. He’s been pretty average away from home, apart from maybe one Test in England.
Still think 400 is on for Australia, but getting Finch early is always welcome.
Yeah they really hurt you in England. But Australia's tail isn't quite as strong as England's and your bowlers will come back rested tomorrow.The last few wickets are always a problem.
Pujara just said in the PC that its a tougher wicket than it looks, didn't see a ball but I'm just saying that from the position we were in, 250 is decent.
And India have got Ashwin bowling last too.Seems like it was true. If India can get any sort of lead, and put up some kind of total this is their's to lose now. Can't see australia chasing anything above 250.
Don't if I should laugh or rant. Love it.Rahul just went from Pujara to Pant mode in a span of two overs.
Why?Oh ffs, Rahul couldn't help himself. Sharma needs to come in next imho.
He looked good during his short stay first innings especially against Lyon. Pujara is struggling out there.Why?
/r/cricket on Reddit has what you need.
India have four bowlers, and one of them is Shami, known for bowling loose deliveries. Pretty sure they will get 400 as there is no fifth bowler to take the heat off the pacers. Looking at this lineup, I can only see Kohli who bowls a bit. The rest don't even bowl part-time. Unless Aussie batsmen throw it away like most Indian batters, 400 is guaranteed.
A lot depends on Ashwin keeping the runs down. Ishant and Ashwin need to keep the run rate down while Bumrah and Shami can focus on getting wickets. Tough day ahead.
Nigel Long is having a shocker
Yup, exactly!Not sure how he gave the Pujara LBW decision out. It looked like clear not out in real time.
This. Could watch that all day. Got to watch tendulkar David and now pujara kohl though so all goodWish Dravid and Pujara played together at least in few tests. It would have been defense paradise.
I don't have the confidence everyone else seems to in Ashwin. If anything, the worse the pitch is, the more I'd rather have jadeja for the last innings.
Although, Ashwin tends to work on his weaknesses religiously. So wouldn't be surprised to see that he has adapted, plus a fairly rookie Australian batting.
Thought he might struggle in Aus. Wristy players tend not to do well there, at least in England's experience.It's incredible how much Rahane has detoriated as a batsman. I have no confidence in him right now. In the last Aussie tour he was on par with Kohli as a test batsman.
He's not wristy at all. The least sub continental of all our batsmen probably.Thought he might struggle in Aus. Wristy players tend not to do well there, at least in England's experience.

Yea he's another one who I feel has lost his way due to T20 pressures.It's incredible how much Rahane has detoriated as a batsman. I have no confidence in him right now. In the last Aussie tour he was on par with Kohli as a test batsman.
Me neither, but he's actually proved me wrong in the first innings so fingers crossedI don't have the confidence everyone else seems to in Ashwin. If anything, the worse the pitch is, the more I'd rather have jadeja for the last innings.
