Terrific effort by ashwin. Really needed the others especially the two seamers to not bowl as **** as they did. Feel like a few have spun a bit more in the last half hour which is concerning.

Yeah Ashwin has been real impressive. Feels like he's been the only spinner to really try and mix things up and make the batsman react to him rather than just bowling the same ball again and again

I feel like back in the old days the new ball was taken after 55 overs or something like that so maybe some of the timeless tests

That was the case immediately post-war iirc. The Invincibles used to it to epic effect on the 48 tour
Terrific effort that by Aus. Really disciplined approach. There’s no way blokes like Murphy and Lyon put on that many if they’re in at 280-300 because the bloke’s above them showed #intent

That 9th wicket stand could turn out to be vital, took a 400 score to more like 500 and undoubtedly annoyed/tired the Indians. Next hour vital, let the fun begin...

Precisely the sort of deck we’d have pissed away a decent start on in the past. Patience game has to continue now with the ball

Rule didn't apply in a timeless test, only in some English test immediately post-war. If they had take them when entitled Australia could theoretically have used five against England at the Oval in 1938 - it was allowed when 200 runs had been scored with the prior one.

I find it very hard to shake the image I had of him when played in what turned out to be the final ODI tri-series here in 14/15. He looked like an utter pie thrower and spread in filthy roundarm darts that were strongly reminiscent of Darren Lehmann, and though economical were even less penetrative.
I know he's a better bowler than that, but he is extremely far short of Jadeja's class and it has showed this series.
