Well that's a wrap on the . Feel a bit robbed with the first 3 tests finishing so quickly but boy oh boy what a memorable series.

Some great steadiness from Khawaja. Jadeja, and Ashwin in particular, are astonishing on turning wickets. Lyon got his groove and cool to see Kohli back at it. Head was exactly as good as the last two summers in Australia. Rohit is a scary guy when his eye is in. The "India Tail" that scored more runs than the top order. Smith and Labuschagne didn't reach their batting expectations but Smith looks like a better captain than Cummins.

Those moments in Delhi where the Aussies could have done the work then blew up will haunt some of these guys for a long time.

4+ more years to prepare for such pitches again. Maybe the Aussies can play some practice games in Tanami Desert to prepare for cracks and crumbling pitches.

That’s an excellent comedy review from Jadeja. As good as anything in Warri’s career. Important time to keep the fans awake and engaged…

In the BGT so far, Australia's best wicket average is the third @27.5. This is beaten by India's eighth, fifth, first, sixth, and ninth wicket averages.

And it's all over. India retains the trophy for the 4th consecutive time (!) and the rated Aussie batting line up failed in seemingly bizarre circumstances. There will be a lot of volatility after this result for the Aussies. India is far too good at home in comparison. Ashwin and Jadeja again.

I'm not quite yet thinking of the ICC Test Championship in England for a rematch -- focus should be on avoiding a whitewash/further humiliation. Hopefully the Aussie team is supported to learn, quickly. This was a memorable failure

Ashwin and Axar's partnership on day 2 is astonishing in the context of this match. 100 runs out of nowhere

test cricket is a heart breaking activity. Watching the Aussies collapse to 7/95 under some low Ashwin and Jadeja bowling.

Smith and Labuschagne should be able to bat in these conditions.

Massive session from Travis Head, making a point we have all been making since the 2021 Ashes - he's a machine - Australia finally looking like they do at home. With a 60+ lead and 9 wickets, and lots of time, we have a real test match here.

Aus lead by 1 run on the first innings. What a test match we have here. Axar and Ashwin extraordinary batting lower in the order.

91 is the 28th lowest all-out score (out of 1019 innings) for Australian men. At 32.3 overs, it's the team's 20th shortest innings by balls.

Australia's men's team now has the most sub-100 all out innings, with 35. South Africa has 34, England has 33.

Australia's "lowest total ever in India". It was that bad.

Finally, the DRS puts the Aussies out of their misery. Massive victory by India. This will be remembered as a caution.

Australia will be embarrassed and hopefully motivated. This isn't the standard we require of Australia. Time for focus and some serious assessment of who is selected.

Pads, stumps, lbw. Again and again. On flat low pitches. Nothing bounced above stump height.

A remarkable test. India should be very proud.
