Cheteshwar Pujara is a great disappointment in this series. Sydney is his chance to show that he is capable of learning from his technical shortcomings.

It seems odd to talk about technique when you are referring to Pujara, but on Australian pitches, his low stance and low hands make him vulnerable to the extra bounce. Getting out to Nathan Lyon both times in Adelaide is a surprise for someone who eats off-spin for breakfast but his subsequent dismissals to the quicks were predictable.
