Louis Cameron and Adam Burnett sum up the third NRMA Insurance Test from a sodden Brisbane. While the retirement of Ravichandran Ashwin caught us all on the hop, the dominance of Jasprit Bumrah and Travis Head did not. Can they continue to carry their teams? Is Head hurt? (SPOILER: He's not). Is Josh Hazlewood hurt? (SPOILER: He is). Steve Smith scored his 33rd Test century, written into existence by one of cricket.com.au's own. Speaking of, did cameraman Tama Stockley spook Yashasvi Jaiswal? There are World Test Championship final implications too and you will not need to understand trigonometry to work out how Australia can make it.

The Indians are given nothing away but Jasprit Bumrah looks to have shaken off his niggle while the brainstrust have a big call to make on Rohit Sharma's position in the batting order.

On the eve of the Test match he has dominated for a decade, Mitch Starc joins the Unplayable Podcast. The chat with Starc begins at 3:15.

Starc has been an absolute weapon with the pink cherry (66 wickets at an average of 18.71 back that up), but the left-arm quick doesn't buy into his own hype about the off-colour Kookaburra in day-night cricket.

The 90-Test veteran also touches on the "ridiculous" rumours of a rift in the team, what it's like to share a field with up-and-coming superstars, Marnus Labuschagne's new hobby and plenty more.
