good fight back by Watson and Rogers....but once again no cigar for both.....55, 55 and 57 for Rogers isn't gonna endear him to Lehmann in the long run.....whilst Watto does what he does best.....lotta work for Smith, Marsh and Burns to do.....can't see Haddin doing much and Johnno had his run feast at the Gabba.....Harris is no Starc with the bat......could be crucial one out of Marsh, Smith and Burns gets a 100......though if Haddin wants to feed me humble pie than go right ahead Brad!.......

Lets not forget to thank the Indians for their atrocious fielding - could have been worse for us. Still, we got the runs...they have to get them.

What a fantastic effort by Kohli and Rahane. Our bowling was pretty good, especially Harris but the Indians batted superbly. Aussies were mixed in the field, taking some brilliant ones but dropped a few sodas. Game still very open for both teams with 2 days to go

Probably the first thing Smith has done wrong this summer allowing Marsh to meander along this morning.....the guy did really well to make sure Aust got a decent lead heading into today.....but what was that all about on 99 trying to take a dodgy single to get his 100?.....especially since he spent all the first session being all circumspect.

Smith should of said you have 1 hr tops then we are declaring......oh for an extra 12 to 15 overs to get those 4 wickets at the end....yeah hindsight I know but I reckon Clarke would of declared sooner......Kohli continues his red hot form be interested to see who gets man of the series.

Aus had plenty of time to bowl them out, they just didn't take the catches they should of.

Meh we won the series why give the Indians a sniff, wouldn't of worried me if we didn't declare at all.

And what about Dhoni's defensive fields he set this morning didn't show any urgency in picking up those last three wickets.

Hee hee, i remember if the poms ever were in a position of already have won the ashes, the press and people here said why not declare and go for victory, funny now the shoe is on the other foot, and there was no "serious" declataration,but we only wanted the trophy is now all of a sudden accepted.

Bill Lawry refused to declare & give the Poms a "Sporting Chance" He got sacked. But he was only a Victorian... It was boring what I saw but I missed a lot. Sydney should be no different. Agar should get a game if they need another allrounder.

One of our bowlers needs to hit Kohli square in the mouth. Getting lippy with MJ who takes your head off at 150km/h is plain silly.

I m a sandgroper through and through but why Agar out of the blue??

Sheez what about the original Mr Lippy ( one D warner?), Kholiis a gem to watch.
