India tour of Australia 3rd Test Day 1 2021
Completely Australia's day. It was on even keel early on when India got Warner cheaply, but since then, it's been all Australia. Marnus Labuschagne has found form again, but more ominously for India, Steven Smith seems to have found it too. The dropped catches off Will Pucovski will hurt, but India shouldn't fall in the trap on getting sucked into focusing just on them. Sure, it would have helped if they were taken, but the bowlers also became a bit more loose after that and offered hittable balls. Bumrah was tight. Siraj less so, and Saini did make the breakthrough but offered more loose deliveries. Can't really hold that against them, given how they've been pitchforked into Test cricket. Ashwin began beautifully but was forced on the defensive later
