India in a collapse for the ages against Australia.  All out for 36. 27/9 in the day. India’s lowest ever total in Tests.

Since Kohli was run out in the first innings they’ve scored 92-16.

Kohli not have made a test century in 2020, he misses the Boxing Day test. I imagine he will put that right when they play England early next year.

No wonder they're too scared to play Pakistan, the absolute fannies.

New Zealand v Pakistan and Australia v India Tests are both live on BT Sport tonight.

Shaheen Afridi’s first over was superb

It’s good to see Australia’s batting looks brittle. Their bowling attack is superb as we know, but if they’re not getting big runs it bodes well.

India fans I know are increasingly unconvinced by Kohli as captain and will be seeing this very much as an advert for Rahane. Captain's innings, smart fielding and bowling changes, clearly a big personality in the team. Looking good for him.

Good to see that the Aussies were crushed in the scond test with India, hope they remain brittle for the ashes.

The Aussie batting line up is very poor, Head, Burns, Wade, Green should be no where near their top 6. In another era they wouldn’t have made a 3rd Aussie side. Their bowing attack is superb though unfortunately.

Moeen Ali has apparently tested positive on arrival in Sri Lanka.

Don't know how this is going to affect schedule.

Can’t speak for Green, as I haven’t seen him play. But Head’s alright isn’t he? His average is just shy of 40 isn’t it? Always looks tidy enough. Agree on Burns and Wade.

But as OzVilla says, 'tidy enough' wouldn't have been good enough for the great Aussie sides.
