65/2 to 113 all out. Reminds me of Pakistan batting order collapses. Only something like that could help us win the test batting last on Indian wicket after opponents were having a good lead with 8 wickets left. Unbelievable gift. Pleasant surprise.
India now need only 27 runs with 7 wickets intact.

I don't know how this has played out in Australia, but if they'd lost 2 games against England in this fashion, I'm pretty sure that the public mood would be palpable and heads would already be rolling

They never were.
They were in their best position so far to do so, but no, they were never favourites.
The last couple of years has seen the Aus team performing ok, a little bit of bashing the lesser teams, and somehow got themselves to the top of the rankings.
I always thought that was very quickly, and possibly unjustified, knowing that a reckoner was on its way - our bowling line-up has been pretty good, but the batting always a bit flaky, and held up by Smith and Labuschagne.
I did not expect the awakener to be so swift, so alarming.
