It would be hard for the Aussies to avoid the mistake of playing not to lose rather than pursuing victory. If they fail to get just 78 runs, it will be one of the most catastrophic losses suffered by any team and they’ll be mocked mercilessly, especially after they lost the 2nd Test after a monumental batting collapse following the Indian tail wagging proudly.

Cant lose from here surely.

Losing 6/11 suggests they can.

If the Indians win, it would be just as iconic as the time Warnie skittled the Poms when they were set a small target to win.

F**K off Shastri, enough excuses. "It's too dry". It's too dry because that's what they were told to do.They were able to water the centre of the pitch and forget to water the ends? Spare us the BS.

I have never watched a game before where I thought every ball is going to be a wicket. Aussies look nervous, Indians are on.

Imagine US baseball fans watching this. They wouldn’t get it at all!

Grow a pair umpires and pull Ashwin up for frivolous appealing, it got boring a long time ago. Can't wait for him to get frustrated and try his Mankad schtick

Oh, and piss Cummins off as captain. Smith is the man.

Well, that was a lot easier than I expected!

Excellent batting from Head and Lambuschagne.

Shame the Aussies did show that kind of fight in the 2nd test when they were in it up to their ears. The trophy may be lost but the series can be drawn.

Reckon the Indians cleaned up with the bookies on this one.....not much effort on their behalf imho.
