Talking Points:

  • Did Australia do anything differently in this Test than in the previous two?
  • Jadeja's rare off-Test in recent times
  • India's collapse on the first morning - and all the pitch talk
  • Did the pitch rage enough? Was the match referee justified in rating it 'poor'?
  • The problem with variable bounce (as opposed to lateral movement)
  • Khawaja v Labuschagne: a contrast against spin
  • Nathan Lyon's masterful spell - from around the wicket, cramping the batters
  • Lyon's evolution as a spinner for Indian conditions - and his battle with Pujara
  • Pujara's half-century in the second innings - and the partnership with Shreyas
