India Vs Australia 3rd Test  

India tried everything possible to get the final two wickets, with skipper Virat Kohli even convincing the umpires to go for the extra half hour (eight overs) seeing the possibility of a result in third Test at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)

'It is an outstanding bowling unit (Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav) that we have got in our team. However, there is not much I can talk about the Australian batting line-up. They don't have the Waughs, Taylors, Clarkes, Pontings, Haydens, Langers. This is a very ordinary Australian side which India is playing against,' Venkatesh Prasad told MyNation

Jasprit Bumrah took a career-best 6/33 against Australia at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday. 'This would definitely be one of the best spells bowled in Australia. That is what my opinion is. He was unplayable all the way through. It was not just one spell but every ball he bowled he looked terrific,' Javagal Srinath told MyNation

Post lunch, it took only four overs for Jasprit Bumrah to strike again as he bowled Travis Head (20), who played on in the 37th over. Australia were in dire straits at 92 for 5 and things didn't improve when Jadeja struck for the second time against Mitchell Marsh (9). The batsman tried an exaggerated onside flick, but only ended up edging to slip as the ball exploded off the pitch

'The batsmen must step up collectively. I won't say individually whether someone needs to do that or not, but as a batting unit, we have to definitely put up a better performance,' Virat Kohli said. The Indian captain made it clear that neither his team's Adelaide victory nor the Perth defeat will have any bearing when Melbourne Test starts

'He has talent in abundance, but he has a long way to go. He has to pick up fast if he has to last long in the Indian Test team. He has to learn a lot. There were two occasions where he could have won the game (with his batting) for India. But he did not know how to apply himself, at that stage,' Syed Kirmani told MyNation

'To be honest, doesn't really bother us. We have done our homework on their whole squad for a number of weeks. We are prepared. What they do is their business. We will just keep focusing on what we are doing,' Tim Paine said on Tuesday

Captain Virat Kohli and the team management seem to be under pressure after messing up with selection issues. In the second Test, they failed to pick a specialist spinner and went with an all-pace attack. Now, Umesh Yadav has been dropped for Ravindra Jadeja

In Adelaide, Nathan Lyon bowled 70 overs in the two Indian innings, and then another 53.5 overs in Perth. In total, India have batted for 356.4 overs in four innings – Lyon has bowled to them for 123.5 overs. That’s 34% of all overs Australia have bowled – in a four-man attack, it is a staggering number whichever way you look at it
