Agreed .... Aussies used up all their luck when they bowled out India for 36. They have created plenty of half chances since, but nothing has gone their way. Credit to the Indians though.

Indians 9/332 still 13 overs to be bowled tonight

Warner and co would be praying the 10 and 11 hang on here

didnt happen, another 5fa for Hazelwood, aussies about 9 overs to bat tonight

bowled out for 336

0/21 at stumps

Will be interesting to see how the Aussies play this tomorrow. Need to be aggressive with the bat and be prepared to dangle a carrot. Can't afford to bat India out of the game. They should risk losing to try to win. 300 will be plenty.

Might be lucky to get more than a few hours play for the remainder of the test

I'm assuming they will try and bat at least 75/80 of the scheduled 98 overs for the day and bat aggressively like you said to try and build a big enough lead while still having enough time to bowl India out again.
There's been talk about the weather from the commentators, will be interesting to see the what the weather does tomorrow. Here's the BOM forecast for Brisbane-

Who would have thought his batting is probably what will keep him in the team

This should be his last test.

With his 5/57 today (his 9th five wicket haul) Hazlewood has now taken 211 test wickets, going above Stuart MacGill and one wicket below Merv Hughes on the most test wickets for Australia list, he's in 16th spot.
Cummins has now taken 160, Starc 255 and Lyon 397.

They have to have a crack at the win, not sure where 10 more Indian wickets are coming from though

There is no chance of this happening.

Bat like it's a one-dayer, if we're still in at tea, declare, even if we only have a lead of 200, we can't risk a draw, it's win or nothing

Haven't enjoyed a touring Indian team as much as this one and previous sides had Dravid, Tendulkar and Laxman in them!

Great fight, good techniques for the Australian pitches ( not always the case on previous tours ) and a plan for every Australian batsman.

Very well organised and managed group.

Absolutely agree. Bat til tea,declare no matter what and back our strength in (our champion bowlers) to win us a series.

'Potentially' could become the next West Indies of the 90's or Australians of the 2000's.

Near on impossible to beat at home and have now added a great pace attack, combined with batters who look like they could score anywhere around the world.

I reckon this tour will be the making of the next powerhouse decade.

Regardless of the result of this test ... Full credit to India

Shastri has been the highlight with the game plan throughout the whole test series ... besides one innings ( as they say sh*& happens)
They have bowled consistently to all our batters.

On another note.. surely England can't choke

Boon's early call - Warner brings up his hundred off 88 balls.

Solid start today. No demons in this pitch as yet.
