When Warnie speaks, Australia listens.
Congrats to Aust & both teams for a terrific test series so far – well done. Loved it all. That’s the best test win for Aust in a long time. Tim Paine take a bow – we now have a test captain ! Lyon & Khawaja outstanding. Finch & Harris 0/100 on day 1 was the difference !!

Much needed advertisement in a world of big bats.
The second Test match between Australia and India at Perth produced 183 play-and-misses. That's the fourth most of any Test in the @cricviz database (2006-present). #AUSvIND

VVS optimistic ahead of the Boxing Day Test.
Congratulations to Australia on this very comprehensive win. India will need to believe in themselves, learn from their mistakes and comeback stronger in Melbourne

Back to the old ways?
About time the Aussies got back in the game 😂
Surely a game with some friendly banter is better than the sterile, soulless environment that has existed since the Aussies went all nerd on us 😂 https://t.co/qMdN4jer4l— Adam Hollioake (@adamhollioake) December 17, 2018
Sachin Tendulkar remembers to shake the opponent’s hand.
Congratulations to Australia on a big comeback. The key was their opening partnership in the 1st innings & scoring 326. @mstarc56 & #Hazlewood didn’t allow good partnerships upfront in both the innings. @NathLyon421 continues his magic by picking crucial wickets. #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/QH59HSbtXA

Adapt. Improvise. Overcome.

Plenty of insight in Virender Sehwag’s analysis.
Plenty can be learned from a loss. India not only played 4 fast bowlers, but 4 number 11 batsmen who had to bat 8-9- 10-11 . Still Australia got 100 + start and India started poorly in both innings. Hope India can turn things around in Melbourne

Impressive gesture on display from the touring Indians.
Indian stars Rishabh Pant, Virat Kohli and Prithvi Shaw (who has been ruled out of the series with an ankle injury) having a kick with @gilly381 kids. It’s not all bad blood, this series. #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/StKP3s5caE

Subtle case for inclusion of Bhuvaneshwar Kumar at the ‘G?
In this series (#AUSvsIND):
IND 1-7: 865 runs at 30.9
AUS 1-7: 805 runs at 28.8
IND 8-11: 51 runs at 4.3
AUS 8-11: 227 runs at 18.9As was the case in ENG, in foreign conditions, India's much maligned batsmen stay with the home batsmen. But India's tail gets blown away.

Is he the most “likable bloke” in Australia at the moment?
