SERIES RATINGS: Usman Khawaja's renaissance continues, while Travis 長，率いる could be Australia's next opener and Todd Murphy is Nathan Lyon's 相続人 明らかな... but David Warner's 実験（する） career could be over after series 敗北・負かす in India

• e-mail

Australia's 追求（する），探索（する） for a first 実験（する） series in India in 19 years will go on until at least until 2027 after the hosts 保持するd the 国境-Gavaskar トロフィー for a fourth 連続した time.

The Aussies arrived in India as the world's No1-階級d 実験（する） team but any hopes of emulating the class of 2004 消えるd within six days of cricket.

Vanquished by an innings and 132 runs in Nagpur?in the 開始 実験（する） after losing 10 wickets in a 選び出す／独身 開会／開廷／会期 in their second dig, Australia managed to lose nine?in the same 開会／開廷／会期 in Delhi as they 崩壊するd to a six-wicket loss.

The tourists 鎮圧するd 恐れるs of a whitewash with a famous nine-wicket 勝利，勝つ on a 階級 turner in Indore, becoming only the third team to 勝利，勝つ a 実験（する） in India in the last １０年間.

A rela tively dull draw in the final 実験（する） in Ahmedabad was made memorable by Usman Khawaja's 素晴らしい 180 and by Cameron Green's maiden 実験（する） century.?

Australia stand-in 船長／主将 Steve Smith and India captain Rohit Sharma (権利) shook 手渡すs as the fourth 実験（する） in Ahmedabad ended in a draw??

The Aussies 調印（する）d a famous nine-wicket 勝利，勝つ in the third 実験（する） in Indore last week?

It wasn't enough for Australia to become the first team to 避ける a series loss in India since England in 2012, but their 勝利，勝つ in Indore 調印（する）d their 位置／汚点／見つけ出す in the World 実験（する） 選手権 final at The Oval in June.?

Their 対抗者? But why, India of course.??

Here, Daily Mail Australia 率s and 予定するs the tourists after four rollercoaster 実験（する）s over six engrossing weeks.?

David Warner - 1

肯定的な omens were few and far between as Warner arrived in India having passed 50?just twice in his previous 21 innings.

Any residual hope his gritty 二塁打-トン at the MCG would 示す the start of a resurgence evaporated within five balls of the first 実験（する）, as Mohammed Shami 配列し直すd his off-st ump.

Warner's return of 1, 10 and 15 only 後継するd in?lowering his already paltry 24.25 普通の／平均（する） in India, before a?concussion and a fractured 肘 未熟に ended? his series after the second 実験（する）.

The 退役軍人 opener has 主張するd he wants to play in The Ashes, but he 普通の／平均（する）s a modest 26.04 in 25 innings in England and that 決定／判定勝ち（する） may no longer be up to him.

David Warner career is in danger of petering out after the 退役軍人 opener made just 26 runs in three innings before 出発／死ing with a fractured 肘?

Usman Khawaja - 9?

Khawaja peeled off 333 runs at an 普通の／平均（する） of 47.57 to finish 最高の，を越す as the 最高の，を越す run-scorer in the series.

The epic, 10-hour マラソン 180 in Ahmedabad rightly earned plenty of headlines but, given the circumstances, his 60 in the first innings in Indore was just as 決定的な as it 始める，決める up the 壇・綱領・公約 for a famous 勝利，勝つ.

Arguably Australia's player of the series, Khawaja has now 得点する／非難する／２０d six centuries since 存在 解任するd to 実験（する） 味方する two years ago. Which begs the question as to why he was dropped to begin with.??

Usman Khawaja was arguably Australia's player of the series, 得点する／非難する／２０ing 333 runs at 47.57

Marnus Labuschagne - 6

That Labuschangne only 50 of the series arrived in the second innings of the final 実験（する） says as much about his 業績／成果s over the past month than it does about the pitches in India.

Got off to good starts in Nagpur and Delhi but couldn't capitalise as Indian spin ners 繰り返して had his number. He will undoubtedly have learnt some 価値のある lessons ahead of his next series in India.?

Travis 長，率いる - 8?

Australia may already have a ready-made 交替／補充 for David Warner in Travis 長，率いる. Surprisingly omitted for the 開始 実験（する） in Nagpur, the South Australian 取って代わるd Warner at the 最高の，を越す of the order in the second innings in Delhi and never looked 支援する.

His 43 off 46 配達／演説／出産s on a turning pitch showed the 肉親，親類d of composure and 目的 that 砂漠d his チーム仲間s, while his unbeaten 49 in the second innings in Indore 調印（する）d Australia's only 勝利，勝つ of the series.

Fell just short of a deserved トン in Ahmedabad but has made himself almost undroppable.?

Travis 長，率いる batted brilliantly after 存在 解任するd into the team for the second 実験（する）

Steve Smith - 5.5

Smith's series can be 分裂（する） in two. He dropped an 平易な catch in the first innings of the second 実験（する） and was bamboozl ed into playing an ill-advised sweep 発射 by Ravindra Jadeja, which by his own admission left him furious.

But he grew into the series and was brilliant as stand-in captain for Pat Cummins in the final two 実験（する）s, taking an かつてない 広大な／多数の／重要な catch to 解任する Cheteshwar Pujara in Indore.

For the first time in his career, however, Smith failed to make a half century in?a 実験（する） series in which he played at least three innings, finishing with a high 得点する／非難する／２０ of 38 and 145 runs at 29.?

His 2017 heroics with the bat when he peeled off three トンs in India were a distant memory and he's ありそうもない to be part of the 2027 小旅行する.

Cameron Green 7.5

Green's 21 in the first innings in Indore was far more 保証するd than the 天然のまま numbers 示唆する and he then made the most of the wicket in Ahmedabad, 収集するing a wonderful maiden 実験（する） トン.

He bowled just 20 overs and went for 104 runs at 5.20, but Indian wickets are 悪名高くも 敵意を持った to seamers. One wonders how the series may have panned out had he been fit for the first two 実験（する）s.

Cameron Green made a maiden 実験（する） トン in Ahmedabad after 行方不明の the first two matches

Peter Handscomb - 5.5

Handscomb showed resilience and composure in making superb 72 not out on a tricky deck in the first innings in Delhi, にもかかわらず a 失望させるing 欠如（する） of support.

He failed to cash in on a 乱打する-friendly surface in the fourth 実験（する） and finished the series with 145 runs at 29.?

Matt Renshaw - 1?

Making his return to the 実験（する） 円形競技場 after six years, the Queenslander didn't 正確に／まさに 掴む his 適切な時期.

Dropped after making 0 and 2 in Nagpur, Renshaw was 支援する in the team for the second innings in Delhi as concussion 代用品，人 for Warner, only to be 罠にかける LBW for 2 by Ravi Ashwin.

Omitted for the final two matches, it's not beyond the realm of 可能性s that his 実験（する） career may have reached its end.

Matt Renshaw 得点する／非難する／２０d just four runs in three innings in his first return to 実験（する） cricket in six years

Alex Carey - 6.5

A mixed 捕らえる、獲得する of a series for the wicket-keeper, whose 英貨の／純銀の glovework was （名声などを）汚すd by a dearth of runs.

Carey finished with four catches and two stumpings, but made just 56 runs at an 普通の／平均（する） of 9.33. It was a 特に disappointing return given his きびきびした 36 in the 開始 実験（する） in Nagpur had hinted at a far bigger 出資／貢献.

Nathan Lyon - 8.5

If it wasn't for Khawaja, Lyon would have a 合法的 （人命などを）奪う，主張する to be Australia's man of the series.?

After an indifferent start in Nagpur, Australia's 星／主役にする spinner took seven wickets in Delhi and then ripped through India's batting line-up to take 11 in the match as the tourists 調印（する）d a famous nine-wicket in Indore.

Lyon finished with 22 wickets at 22.36 apiece and now has more wickets in India than any other Australian bowler in history.

Nathan Lyon （人命などを）奪う，主張するd 22 wickets in the series, half of which （機の）カム in Indore in the third 実験（する）

Todd Murphy - 8

If Lyon is still the 現在の of Australian spin, Murphy showed over the past four weeks why he may 井戸／弁護士席 be the 未来.

The bespectacled Victorian finished with 14 wickets at 25.21, which 含むd a 素晴らしい seven-wicket 運ぶ／漁獲高 on debut in Nagpur.?

Murphy's cricket 知能 belies his 22-year-old as Virat Kohli 設立する out four times throughout the series. 実験（する） cricket will be seeing plenty more of him in the 未来.?

Todd Murphy impressed in his first 実験（する） series, finishing with 14 wickets at 25.21

Matt Kuhnemann - 7

A surprise 傾向 in the team after Australia capitulated in the 開始 実験（する）, Kuhnemann 熟知させるd himself 井戸／弁護士席 in 悪名高くも difficult 条件s for left-arm spinners.

The Queenslander finished with nine wickets at 31.11 and 供給するd more than 適する support to Lyon and Murphy.

His chances to impress at home, however, may be 限られた／立憲的な as it's hard to 想像する Australia 選ぶing an attack 含む／封じ込めるing three spinners anywhere 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業 India and Pakistan.

Pat Cummins - 4.5

Cricket was sadly mere an afterthought for Cummins as returned to Sydney after the second 実験（する） to be with his 厳粛に ill mother Maria, who died on Friday.

事前の to returning to Australia, Cummins had come under 解雇する／砲火／射撃 for some uncharacteristically undecisive captaincy.?

He bowled just 13 overs in the first innings of the second 実験（する） as India 回復するd from 4-87 at lunch and?7-139 in the second 開会／開廷／会期 to 262 and didn't bowl at all in the second dig.

He finished with three wickets in two innings at 39.66.

Pat Cummins struggled throughout the first two 実験（する） matches before returning to Australia to be with his 厳粛に ill mother Maria, who passed away last week

Scott Boland - 3

It's hard to 裁判官 Boland's series, as he bowled just 17 overs in the first 実験（する） in Nagpur and then watched from the sidelines as Australia 選ぶd for a spin-激しい attack.

Kept it tight but rarely looked 脅すing when he bowled.?

Mitchell Starc - 4.5

Like Green, Starc would have started the first two 実験（する）s had he been fit.?

Unlike his younger 同僚, however, he had a 限られた／立憲的な 衝撃 in the two matches he played, （人命などを）奪う，主張するing just two wickets in three innings at a very expensive 普通の／平均（する） of 66.

Admittedly, the surfaces in Indore and Ahmedabad did little to help him.?
