You don’t usually drop someone who has scored a hundred in the series …

You don't usually keep someone in the team that has averaged below 30 for 4 out of the past 5 years. His hundreds in that period have come in Perth when he came in when India were well on top and in draws when the pitches were incredibly flat. He should have been dropped 2 years ago like Pujara and Rahane were.

JFM would be proud of those numbers

Rohit has "opted out" of the Sydney Test.

Imagine the scenes in the rooms.

Regardless of any rumours, innuendo, disharmony or whatever, most people would want to see 2 teams battle it out at full strength, firing on all cylinders for the final Test of the series … and may the best team win.

Hopefully a good toss to lose?
Gill in for Rohit and Krishna in for Deep.

Probably the only sport in the world where this is actually valid, it was always a weird feeling as a skipper going over for the toss hoping that you'd lose it.

[Booney]

Started 3 minutes late. Why?

Started 3 minutes late. Why?

To allow Joel W to get up in his box...

[Armchair expert]

Horrendous toss to lose

India will win now

[daysofourlives]

Wicket looks quite slow, India to make 500 plus

[Trader]

Started 3 minutes late. Why?

Probably wasn't sure how long the welcome to country would take.

[Lightning McQueen]

So they didn't go in Pantless.

The stands look packed but they aren't making much noise

It’s Sydney.
Their sports events are attended by theatre goers. Probably need to be told on the scoreboard when to applaud
