Talking Points:

  • Australia's superior bowling depth wins the day
  • The remarkable Mr Boland 
  • India's muddled approach to this series: neither batting heavy nor bowling heavy
  • Why didn't India trust their fast bowlers enough to play 4 each Test?
  • The futility of picking two spinners in these conditions 
  • Jasprit Bumrah's steep workload; Siraj's tireless spells
  • Are Rohit and Kohli both in decline or is there a way back for them? 
  • A series full of electric bowling
  • Rishabh Pant's mad max half-century
  • Prasidh Krishna's promise of steepling bounce
  • The end of an era of magnificent India-Australia series
