Thats true, his 153 was also very useful and his 26 runs quick start.

You guys worry too much.Dhoni always has a habit of making people nervous.
And Sir!.That was incredible under pressure.I thought he would edge to keeper 1st ball.

Australia need to focus on current series and tests, what they and England think about is just Ashes. Damien Martyn kerplucking says prepare better for Ashes 
You idiot, focus on one thing first.
----------
Hope Dhawan plays the next match. Dhoni says he is going to experiment. Means dropping Bhuvi or Ishant for Dinda? Or Dhawan out and Rahane in?

Think about it this way.You are given two options-a win against Pakistan OR a win against Aus.What would you choose? Ashes means a lot to Aus and Eng and every test they play is sort of preparation for the Ashes.

Where to now? Axe more more players? I can't help but think if they didn't axe Pattinson this would of been a different match.
Obviously, I would say Khawaja should play but now...Everyone in the team performed with the bat in this test (and it feels weird saying) except Clarke & Henriques. Usually it's, everyone doesn't perform except Clarke.
Should Henriques be given another chance? Obviously Watson takes Clarke's place and that's one scary lineup if they all fail.

Is Clarke definitely going to be unfit for the next test?
And I want Khawaja in for Henriques.

Miss the India batting due to board exams but doesn't matter, I didn't wanted to make myself nervous also. 
Haha, will be there in stadium hopefully whenever the next Test match is played there.

Honestly, give Starc a shot at number 7, then squeeze in both Johnson and Pattinson.
I kinda feel more inclined to drop Hughes seeing that innings. It was awful, but he managed to put runs on the board somehow and that's a good thing to do against India. Dhoni backed off quickly, even as Hughes was flinging chances all over the place. Yet, after a run a ball 50, he capitulated. Nearly 100 balls faced to get 18 runs. I guess he either saw himself bat and got embarrassed or perhaps decided he was batting for the draw by that stage, but as above, it's what India wanted. They wanted a reason to have close fielders, to bowl in a nice rhythm at the stumps.

Washing out the first day doesn't have the same effect because they added overs on each remaining day. It was more or less a five day game.

on one hand I felt australia did well, they lost some players in this homework thing and they fought hard with some of the poorer players getting some runs on the board.
still, for india to be able to manufacture a win here shows a crushing superiority. the only pressure india were under was, given the form of the two sides, for them to not win every test match would have been a bad result. the rain made the game interesting, with 5 days play it would have just been an absolute rout.
I do think this hasn't been a bad series in the grand scheme, cricket needs a strong india, regardless of what people think about the BCCI, that tendulkar has been largely anonymous (he's been pretty average, and the team hasn't suffered one bit for it) feels like it's the start of their new era. I'll probably be backing the aussies a bit in the ashes actually because it needs a strong australia as well.

AUS like most sub-continent teams have always struggled in India. So that was never an issue at least leading up the 1990s, because tours to india were so few, the place was like touring mars.
The great AUS team up to 2004 still were playing spin poorly during India tours in 98, 2001 & Sri Lanka 99.
But after the successful tours to India & SRI 2004, along with the many ODI series wins in India, i always expected AUS improvement vs spin to stay somewhere close to the 2004 standard even if other area's of the team became poor.
AUS lost in India 2008 & 2010 - but the overall batting strength didn't look woefully clueless as in these series.
It was only last year AUS won a HARD ODI series in UAE facing Ajmal, Afridi, Rehman & Hafeez.
So basically the biggest disappointment for me is that AUS batting in this series is a horrible regression of AUS batsman-ship on turning pitches, back to the poor level of pre 1996. It is an insult to all the progress AUS batters have made to playing spin worldwide in the last 20 years.

so unfortunate for Dhawan . Clarke is also likely to be opted out of the next game due to injury.Australia suffer Clarke injury | Orange UK
