2005 actually, NQC. And I’m a non-biased Manly fan. Still an amazing record.

BREAKING: Des Hasler re-signs with the Bulldogs until 2019

I like this idea, but Smith has made it quite clear he won’t bowl Maxwell.
Glenn, do you see Travis Head stepping up to Test cricket in the near future?

The stats that matter for the Australians in India

That was hardly an apology, Virat.

He was.

As Shane Watson said pre-tour, this tour couldn’t have been much worse than 2013. On that tour, the coach and captain single-handedly destroyed all team chemistry and comradery. Quite a feat.

Hi Ronan, I’m glad you gave S.Marsh the score he deserved. During Day 5 at Ranchi, you suggested the selectors got the call right in selecting Marsh by stating – as fact – that Usman would not have batted for as long as Marsh did to save the Test. Do you stand by that, albeit extremely hypothetical statement?

Australia vs India Test series player ratings

I saw Wade actually call for a review yesterday but the umpire dismissed it because Smith didn’t call it. Can’t believe it was missed by the commentators.

Good call, but on a losing side.. but yeah Smith has been immense.

He’s had some shocking reviews this series.

I can’t believe people are actually defending Warner. He has been atrocious and he’d be the first to admit it.

RE. Usman – we’ll never know, unfortunately as the selectors failed to pick him on 2 full tours of India. A disgrace.

Wade batted better the longer the series went. Surprised me a tad. Otherwise, yep, agree with your analysis. S.Marsh failed so miserably, as expected – bar 1 admittedly fantastic attritional knock.

Jadeja man of the series? He’d be my pick for sure.

Soft as butter. Clarke batted with back pain throughout half his career.

Did I see Wade signal for a review during that last Lyon over?

Nevill should be playing in this Test match.

A great article and my sentiments exactly.

What does Usman have to do to get a crack against India, in India. Two full tours now and ziltch.

Why is Usman Khawaja in India?

Why is he not in the 11?

Can you explain to me why he hasn’t been selected — especially after the summer he had at home. Give me 1 reason?

I think its a valid argument to make. Not suggesting it’s the truth.. but I just can’t find any other reason why he has been shown so much disrespect – and not just on this recent tour.

Legend! Renshaw is as solid as a rock.

Jadeja is bowling superbly this Test match. He is the key to get these remaining 6 Aussie wickets.

Head scored a hundred a mere week ago, Ronan. You are not very subtle when it comes to what you think of Travis. You don’t rate him, and that’s fine. You expect (and probably even hope) that he fails. Thankfully the selectors, captain and past greats think otherwise.

Stoinis' Monday miracle puts Marsh, Maxwell and Head on notice

Seemed to bowl a fair bit in the recent ODI’s.

Nice article and great to get some perspective of a Windies fan living in the UK. There are only so many times you can watch Fire in Babylon.

I am surprised Simmons wasn’t given more time; although I think, much like all decisions at the WICB, it was a political decision.

No one cares about West Indies cricket anymore

I wasn’t one of them. Martyn, for me was class, particularly circa 2003-06.

Lehmann ready to drop 184-run Renshaw

Pattinson is still on the comeback trail, I believe.

Up to six changes for Australia's Test team at Adelaide - who's in?
