In episode 152 of the podcast we review the second Test between India and Australia in Delhi. The match see-sawed for two days until Australia collapsed on the third morning - and India sealed a six-wicket win.
Talking Points:
- Australia's tactic to sweep against spinners on a pitch keeping low
- Batting in India in the third innings - a most perilous task
- The Smith sweep to Ashwin, and Labuschagne playing the ball off the pitch
- Ashwin and Jadeja - and the subtle variation in lengths across innings
- Could Australia have used their feet and lofted more in the second innings?
- Ashwin's mesmeric spell on the first morning
- Nathan Lyon's drift and turn from around the wicket
- How the Axar-Ashwin partnership tilted the scales
