A strange match, Lyon getting 8 wickets in the first innings, but nothing in the second with seamers getting 8 wickets, you'd have thought it would be the other way round!

I think that the variable bounce contributed to the seamers getting their fair share of the wickets.
The match might have gone the other way had Marsh reviewed his LBW. Smith was at the other end but they decided not to and the ball would have missed the stumps by a good three or four inches. The score was 67-2 at the time and Marsh looked in good touch with 13 off 16 balls including three boundaries.
India in trouble again. 189 all out with Rahul top scoring with 90 and Lyon taking 8-50! In reply Australia are 40-0.
Funny to see Kohli shoulder arms again and to see him look at the umpire with total incredulity at being given out LBW by Nigel Llong. Needless to say he reviewed it and it showed him to be absolutely plumb! Mind you if you were the batsman at the other end you'd hardly discourage Kohli from reviewing - the consequences of doing so and subsequent replays showing that the ball would have missed would surely mean the end of that player's career there and then.
Kohli really is suffering in this series. Given out LBW by Nigel Llong for 15 (just 28 in 3 innings now) he reviews the decision in a nanosecond as he thinks he's hit it - only for it to be called "umpire's call".
He is then seen walking off the pitch showing his bat to the camera and crowd - it's about time that the authorities started to clamp down on his arrogance. In fact he could learn a lot from Sachin regarding being both a classy batsman and person.
I notice that Kohli was out lbw in 2nd innings too, and also reviewed it butoverruled . It seems clear that Kohli is going to review any lbw he gets in India.

Has Watto been giving him advice!
Lol. I think that DRS may well work against him now ! Shame.

True. Reminds me of Javed Miandad never being given lbw on home soil.
Was discussing the England captaincy with my old man and it was suggested that this is a sign of how far the England management/selectors have come in the last year or so.
It was only a few years ago they were desperate to see the test and one day captaincy unified. To the extent that they brought Cook back into the one day side when he was clearly not suited to the format and shouldn't be playing. Around a similar time we had a top 3 in one day cricket of Cook bell and Trott (let's not have that debate but they should never have been playing one day cricket in the modern era).
It was only after a disastrous period when they finally reluctantly got rid of Cook as one day captain.
Now we have the test captain in the t20 and one day side but not as captain (or even vice) because they consider the formats as separate and they're considering his workload.
It's the right way to do it and is progress. How much of this is down to Strauss I wonder. Someone has dragged the board of old men into the modern era.
I also heard that they've had to widen the doors for the Oval home dressing room.
Current odds available on KP:
1/100 - he fails to take the field after batting in a match 4/6 - he picks up an injury once Surrey are knocked out of the comp and fails to play another game 1,000,000/1 - Andrew Strauss makes him MOM in a game

Shame
On the other hand, it's India...
