If Bhuvi is dropped, it can be felt as a surprising decision but clearly Bhuvi has not been delivering yet this series. Good that Ishant was dropped. The pre-match talk was as if India will go with an unchanged bowling attack. But its good that they made Ishant sit out. Shami did well today, and so has Vinay. Wonder why Unadkat wasn't used properly. Good that Dhoni got Raina's 8 overs at a super economy of 4.75. I think India made good changes today.

I think Dhoni took the post match press conference of Faulkner a little too seriously. Faulkner said that it was hard to target Ashwin in the end overs so they had to go after seamers. I am guessing that is the reason he went with spinners in the death overs even though both Shami and Unadkat had very decent spell at the start. If spinners are doing ok than I don't mind but if they are going at 8 an over, than you definitely need to change it.
I will say this again that Ashwin needs a bit of a break right now because he hasn't done well and we have to try out Mishra because his googly can prove effective.

It looks like a washout for today's game

Ashwin took wickets today, although at a slightly higher economy. Normally his economy is very good but his wickets column doesn't look good. Today its the opposite. Mishra was just recently tried in Zimbabwe with Ashwin taking a break. I think Jadeja has been a big flop this series. Maybe Mishra for Jadeja can be a good option. Mishra can bat a bit, and with Ashwin batting quite a bit, we really do not need Jadeja's batting skills.

That's really not the case. Ashwin generally goes for more runs, as even compared to Jadeja. Jadeja might infact even be just above him in terms of no. wickets in the past year or so..
Never been a fan of Jadeja's batting, but I would still rate him higher than both Ashwin and Mishra combined. Much much less than Faulkner though

I still belive in jadeja, ashwin did well in 1st spell he tossed the ball and was amazing but once the two batsmen started attacking he just tried to keep it tight rather than attacking so thats what made him to go over 5rpo i certainly feel Ausies batsmen are struggling against pace bowler who can bowle more than 140 clicks. Where is Umesh yadav ?

This is getting beyond ridiculous, why even have bowlers out there? May as well use bowling machines, you'll get even higher totals which is what everyone wants isn't it?

I guess a frontfoot no-ball can only be called if and only if the frontfoot is out of the crease when bowl leaves the hand. While on this occasion, they referred to the clip when he was in his delivery stride.

So we're set up yet again for a target around 350+. Just can't be our bowling.
Why can't we get proper cricketing wickets.
Batting seemed so easy today up until the first innings. Discouraging stuff for the bowlers!

Indian bowling and fielding is so poor that even Zimbabwe can do a better job

Bailey's a monster!

350/6, a good total!
We'll just need to hit those top orders of early, then who stops us to win the series?

Did Ravi Shastri just say "it won't be easy but it won't be difficult chasing this target" ?? Thats when you know theres a problem...
