Without even breaking into a sweat.

Smashing collapse from India 4 more wickets to wrap it up.

No wonder they call Sachin the little magician he makes the crowd disappear when he gets out.

As good a test win as you will ever see. 2-1 on to Nagpoor.

Well we have the Boxing test at the MCG and Australia have Sri Lanka on the run bowling them out for 156 and they are 1/ 117.

Dismal effort from the Lankans.

The Lankan's have fought back and could have had Australian 6 down if they would have held onto quite easy catches.

At present 7 wickets in hand and 7 runs behind on the first innings.

Jackson Bird bowling action reminds me of Glen McGrath, medium fast on off stump, slight variation, a wicket taker.

great day of cricket.

Australia approaching 300 runs ahead on the first innings with everyone's favourite cricket Mitchel Johnson 73 not out after bowling well in the first innings.

Excellent.... he's a must for the Ashes........

We desire different outcomes so I can understand that....c'mon Mitch.....

Nice to see Clarke using up his supply of runs on others.....

All over with a rather shambolic end.
Lankans collapsed for 103 with Sangakara retiring hurt and two other batsmen not coming out to bat. Never seen anything like it.

Australia 2 for 126 at lunch in the first innings against India in Chennai.

Warner and Watson seem to have overcome a small speed hump at the start of the innings and batting well.

^ Famous last words, Watson and Warner fall to spin directly after lunch.

Michael Clarke once again saves the Aussies on a spinners wicket.

He made 103 not out leaving Australia 317 for 7 at the end of the first days play.

Cricket Australia will have to rethink their game after an innings plus defeat.
I believe it is the first time that a team has been defeated by an innings after declaring in their first innings.

This Aussie side are as thin as toilet paper.

I despair about what the Poms are going to do to us.

I don't

Could be but it was a declaration in name only, it's not like they were 5 down with a heap of runs on the board......

Their selectors made some seriously strange decisions.....

A bit like England with a bit's and pieces side some years ago, people like Dermot Reeve who should never have had a test cap....

The CA administration so ruined Australian cricket through the last 5 years that I've stop watching. I just don't care anymore which is sad. It used to be li,e a religion.

Are all Aussies fair-weather supporters or just the majority?

^ this isn't Aussie cricket.
It's some managed, politically correct, packaged to sell KFC, sanitized and homogonized bastard version of rounders or something.
