We're winning that war. 33 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,720 We don't know what these wickets are gonna be like, Sydney and Melbourne, 34 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,720 so this is where hundreds are gonna be really important, 35 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,800 the big partnerships, the big individual efforts, 36 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,400 from a batting perspective. 37 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,080 I think we're doing some really good things. 38 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,760 I think the challenge for us...or, from me to all of us for this Test match 39 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,160 is quite simply we've just got to keep doing what we are doing for longer periods of time. 40 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,120 I think our best cricket, we've shown that we can break them open with the ball, 41 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,240 we can put them under pressure with the bat. 42 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,680 I think if we keep doing it for longer, we're gonna have some really good results. 43 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,040 ADAM GILCHRIST: Boxing Day Test match. The series level at one-all. 44 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,760 WHATELEY: Rather perfectly, Australia had set Boxing Day up as the main event. 45 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,440 It was 1-1. 46 00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:00,320 But I didn't quite buy into the idea that suddenly Australia had won 47 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,720 and everybody regarded all the problems as solved. 48 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,920 UMPIRE: OK, teams. Let's play. 49 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,240 WHATELEY: There were very specific circumstances in Perth that suited Australia 50 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,280 which were not going to be replicated in Melbourne. 51 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,680 The pitch, as it has been for a number of years, was perfect for India. 52 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,520 COMMENTATOR: Oh.

(LAUGHS) 64 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,880 So, Cheteshwar Pujara. 65 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,720 Well, we talk about how important Virat Kohli is to the Indian team. 66 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,640 I think this guy here is almost just as important. 67 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,560 He's someone that can occupy the crease for long periods of time, 68 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,880 wear the bowlers down. 69 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,000 LALOR: Pujara is old-school. 70 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,120 He's a classic Test match batsman. 71 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,800 Pujara, to a younger generation, is almost a curiosity. 72 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,200 As the game moves more and more towards T20, which is the modern saviour of our game, 73 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,040 the word resilience starts to go out, because there is no time for resilience. 74 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,360 (CLOCK TICKS) 75 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,040 - (CHEERING) - And runs for Pujara. 76 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,000 There's just no ego about his batting. 77 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,080 He doesn't care how he looks and how long it takes to get his runs. He just gets on with the job. 78 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,240 As soon as he's faced that ball it's, "OK. The next ball. The next ball, the next ball." 79 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,360 He doesn't look a session ahead or a day ahead. He just focuses on the now. 80 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,800 MARCUS HARRIS: And you can tell by the way he plays 81 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,920 that he's not worried about anything else besides just batting. 82 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,480 And that's all he does. And that's what he did. 83 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,360 Oh, he gets it through the gap. 84 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,920 It's just got the feel about him batting a long time in this Test match. 85 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,520 He already has. 86 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,600 He was happy to bat for five days if he had to. 87 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,680 The mighty MCG, day two of the third Test match. 88 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,560 The Indians, 2/215 after a tough day of Test cricket yesterday. 89 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,080 The partnership between Pujara and Kohli is already at 92, 90 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:51,520 and if the Australians don't break it early, it could grow and grow and grow. 91 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,920 LANGER: We respect it was a tough day yesterday. 92 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,000 We've talked about it's gonna be an arm wrestle. 93 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,280 The pitch, there is nothing we can do about it and we've got to deal with it. OK? 94 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,480 But it's out of our control. Nothing we can do about it. 95 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,080 They showed great patience, but we showed great patience. 96 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,120 Who's gonna break first? That's my question to you. 97 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,480 It's gonna be hot. It's gonna be flat.
