That was exhilarating. India was too tough for us.
But questions need to be asked. This was close to an 'India A' team and our bowling was full strength. Something has gone wrong.

Yeh, some really poor captaincy. Poor field placings backed up by poor bowling, particularly from Lyon. Paine hasn't a clue really, wonder if it will pave the way for Smith's return?
Incredible effort by India, thoroughly deserved the win. And they are a very likeable bunch, good luck to them.
One of the great test wins that by India. The world's best bowling attack just got a dose of humble pie. That one will hurt.
I wonder about the impact Kohli has on their players. We won the Test he played in. He goes home and they are all over us. It's the elephant in the room I think. No-one dares speak about it, not even the Australian media because they rely on India for media gigs probably.
They looked like a much liberated team after he left I think.

Awesome effort by India, good riddance to Australia. Poor captaincy, poor coaching cost Australia. Bowling coach should be sacked for the bowling tactics used in the last 2 tests, Langer under the gun as well given he has oversight of that. Paine cost Australia the 3rd test with his keeping mistakes and his captaincy has been poor.
Like i've said previously i've been a big fan but some questions will be asked after this series loss. Nobody will be more disapointed than him though.

No, it gripped, ripped and bounced. Even if he'd gloved it Pant probably got his back bat in time.
Gilchrist and Marsh retired at the same age, and Healy was long gone.
Not saying he definitely needs to be replaced. I don't know who would be a suitable captain, for starters. But needs a review.
Over 30 years since the last Australian loss at the Gabba and its done by a bowling attack that had 5 tests between them before this one. Crazy.
Congratulations to an understrength India. Unfortunately our blokes left too much to too few. Tactics & strategies in Sydney & Brisbane abysmal. Deservedly beat.
