Re: 1st Test: India v Australia at Pune,
From Cricinfo:
This is going to sting for India. But take absolutely nothing away from Australia, who have been the only team in this home summer to outclass, outmatch and simply outplay India. They won an important toss, batted decently in their first innings, came out after lunch on the second day, and changed the game with just awesome cricket. Ever since, they’ve been simply unstoppable. Three men from New South Wales led Australia - first Mitchell Starc with the bat, then Steve O’Keefe with the ball and Steven Smith’s hundred. Some really good contributions from Renshaw, Warner and Lyon. O’Keefe took double sixes in the game, and Smith played the best Test innings I have ever seen. This makes this series even more interesting. India will come back hard but Australia have momentum and more importantly, confidence.

After Pakistan…now BCCI shall be banning matches with Australia
Re: 1st Test: India v Australia at Pune,
The two on field umps and 3rd umpire were from England. The LBW decisions with umpires calls resulted in outs for india and not outs for Australia. And since umpires calls rule, the challenges ended up costing India the challenge also. (And yes Kohli also made some bad challenges )
Take out the umpires call rule. A bit 30 pct of stump width now falls under umpires call. And that is a joke.
Have objective criteria for lbw. If ball tracking shows ball hitting stumps you are out. Period.
Need more diversity among umpires. It is stupid to ban ALEEM Dharma from coming to India. One of the most objective and fair umpires.
