Paine should spend less time on sledging and more focus on not dropping catches x3 :facepalm.

Yep. Was poor that we couldn't beat them in the last test.

If we can't beat them in the next one....
Ugh

I'd rather Maxwell > Wade

Anyone > Warner

Stuck with Paine thanks to the scandal...

A few very soft dismissals today

Harris, Smith, Wade and even Labuschange

The Wade one though takes the cake  :banghead

Rain stopped play.

Going to be hard to take 18 wickets + bat again with only 9 sessions to go.

India 4/161 at Lunch.

Hazlewood got Pujara caught behind.
Then Paine finally got his field placings right putting Wade at a 4th slip where the ball had flown through about 4 times. Wade then caught Rahane off Starc's bowling.

Serious question as I'm interested on people's view

But what are folk's opinion of Nathan Lyon. He's nicknamed "The Goat", this test is his 100th, he's taken 397 wickets

But yet again when we need him to bowl out a tail he's MIA

Didn't do the job required in Sydney. Last Ashes series in the UK except for the 1st Test failed to mop up the tail in the 2nd innings in maost tests

He's been average again today, hasn't looked threatening at all  :-\

So how do people rate him?
