Konstas is a top-rate duffer. Won't last anywhere much at all. Probably a poorer Shahid Afridi. The last fellow you want to rile up is the guy who has destroyed your team throughout the series. Whattay duffer. #AusVsInd

The best part about the remaining 3 tests in Australia? By the time you're actually ready to focus two sessions are done. So you don't live through the hope and agony. It is just a scorecard.

Uniforms of Syrian soldiers from the dictator Bashar al-Assad’s army, abandoned as they fled Damascus. A historic image marking the end of the dictator and his army.

I'm not sure what the other CEOs of US Health Insurance companies are doing, but if you have to hide from assassins because of how you do your business then maybe you are doing your business wrong.

One chastening defeat done. 3 more on the way very likely with this team. One good thing with this Indian team is that they rarely ever take even 3 full days to lose tests. Four losses out of five tests done.

Just having decreed India's performance here you also have to acknowledge that Australia have been as lucky as India at Perth. They got to bowl to India at two times when the conditions were perfect for fast bowling.

That Perth win felt like an aberration and is proving one. This Indian team didn't look like one that could win in Australia and doesn't look like one now. I expected 4 - 0 or 4-1 to Australia at the start of the series and we seem to have reverted to regular programming. #INDvsAUS #AUSvsIND

The cricket tweets here have died down dramatically here. Pretty muhc no one is commenting here now.

Is there ever an hundred that isn't great per Mark Nicholas? He needs serious adjective therapy. Even in another room & not watching cricket (while my cricket fanatic wife does) his commentary is grating. #IndVsAus #AusVsInd

My 2 cents. I want more send offs in cricket as long as you don't get abusive or physical. Cricket has become too anodyne and one-dimensional these days. #AusvsInd #IndvsAus

Wanted to book some tickets for the India - England Test Series but Lords & Oval are both sold out. The Hilton Garden Inn at Old Trafford is sold out & the game is almost sold Seriously? There are eight freaking months to go for the Test series!!

Drunk Aussie crowds heckling an opposition player. Good that they keep their long term tradition alive. The only thing missing is racist chants which come up on every tour. So predictable. #IndVsAus #AusvsIND

Except for day One of the tests these games are essentially white noise. Unwatchable except for the partisans. If a batters can hit through the line then the wicket is too flat. Give those wickets in ODIs and T20s, but this is atrocious really. #indvsAus

A 3-day spinning wicket in India or a 3-day seamer in England provides much more enjoyable cricket then these dead Wickets in Australia. What a pity really!! Two tests and no real tests for the batters but to statpad across the game except for day One. #INDvsAUS

It is a pity that Test Cricket provides so much space for flat track bullies like Harry Brooks and Travis Head. #INDvsAUS

Normal business has resumed. Another 150 all out (or even lower) loading. That first test always seemed like a match that went against the grain of expectations. India was just too perfect. A reversion to mean was expected. #AusVsIND

Lots of Luck for KL Rahul, but this isn't worst situation to be in after being 0/1.

There is a sub culture around Credit Card Rewards maximization. I am an amateur participant in that, but the funniest thing going on in this space on Indian Twitter is people tweeting photos of their "Credit Card Portfolio". The bankers are laughing their way to their accounts.

So the Adani stocks are up 10% - 15% today. Reason? The company said that they have not bribed anyone. Give your money to a criminal because he says he is innocent!!

I doubt the Indian cricket team will have a better single day throughout the #BGT. Truly stunning day for India today.

Test century No. 30 for Virat Kohli! 💪 He now has the most hundreds (10) in Australia for any player across formats! #AUSvsIND #BGT2025

How did BCCI manage to get the Ahmedabad pitch to Perth?

Dear HDFCBANK, I know you're delighted to have received my CC payment in full and on time, but please don't send me messages that you have received the payment for four consecutive days. Can get very confusing. Thanks.

Just look at this pitch. 17 wickets on day one was part of some disinformation campaign. Didn't happen.

Now that I see Kohli batting, I think India needs another 150 from here. 550 - 575.

My jinxing powers are so amazing right now that my wife is asking me not to post any tweet appreciating the performance of the Indian team.

Wonder why don't good former umpires get into commentating? That would be an interesting perspective to hear. I think Simon Taufel at some point was involved with the coverage though don't think he was an active commentator.

At some point this series, I wish Washington Sundar gets a few solid 50s or even a 100. He has been shuttled around for far too long. #INDvsAUS
