If Pant goes out, they might go into full defensive mode. I hope not, want to see a result either way.

Always the man they look towards. The bowling averages of the series tell the story for Australia.
Hazlewood - 16 wickets at 19.5
Cummins - 20 at 20.2 (not sure if this includes that last one)
Starc - 11 wickets at 40.7
Lyon - 8 wickets at 59.1
No-one else has taken a wicket in the 4 test matches.
I knew Starc had underperformed this series, didn’t realise Lyon had done worse!
If you want I can compare him to the Indian spinners this series. It makes him look like he's been throwing down pies.
Remarkable series by the Indians. Would be a fairytale win if they can get there
They've been very good. When Kohli said he was only playing 1 of the 4 and they lost that one, no-one would have given them a chance to be playing for the series win in the final hour of the last day
9 overs to get 53. India need to clean up off this over to win. Bring up long off and long on.
Yeah you know they will slow it down unless they get a wicket in the next 1 or 2. Probably more than 10 overs though, you usually get 12-13 in an hour.
Labuschagne was in close at mid-off, cost a 4 to Sundar in Cummins' previous over. He drops back and Sundar hits one that would have lobbed in his bread basket, then hits the next ball for 6.
If India wins it's because they have dared to. Australia hasn't.

Indians have studiously got out of the way of the short ball all day, until now. Fortune favours the brave.
India went after him from the first test, really exposed his lack of variety and sameness about how he bowls.Lyon has had two fourth innings on the two most spin friendly tracks in Australia and has failed miserably.
But he's the goat.
