It’s been a tough week for Australia. From getting thrashed by India to sending their players home for trying to skive out of doing their homework, everything has gone wrong for the land down under. Apart from the imminent return of Devereux, that is. Plus the Compton/Root debate is put to bed once and for all.
Xavier Doherty got his bowling average down to less than 73! Glenn Maxwell nearly took the first five wicket haul of his career! It’s been a great few days for Australia, apart from a few small details that we probably won’t get round to talking about.

The book on winning in India has been written. But like most books set in India, it’s one that lots of people will probably buy and then never read.
