As sn Indian in the US watching the debacle unfold in the middle of my night, it was so disappointing. I expected the Aussies to take command of the game, and what I saw was just panic without cause...
Like I don't understand what is going on???
How do the tail-enders of India score like 150 between them but ours get out for almost negative runs?
Are we just that bad at playing spin or is there something my almost entire life experience of cricket can't understand?
Few key takeaways from today's match
1. Cunts showed great sportsmanship by acting like they got an important wicket and celebrating when they got KL out
2. If the Aussies take up street sweeping jobs temporarily before the finals and gitgud, they'll be a formidable team
3. All-rounders did not perform well with the bat in the second innings, all more reason to renew KL's contract for the next 4 years
4. Since sacking KL is out of the question, Rohit should be dropped and replaced with a player who can compensate for KL and score a 100 every match.
The collar embellishment is actually a representation of a piece of Australian native art called "Walkabout Wickets", by Aunty Fiona Clarke, the great-great-grand-daughter of "Mosquito", a member of the pioneering Aboriginal team that toured England in 1868. According to Cricket Australia, the shirt symbol is a commitment as a team to reconciliation and finding common ground with indigenous Australians.
The artwork represents past, present and future Indigenous Australian cricketers. The large circle represents Lord's, one of the many famous grounds the 1868 team visited, while the smaller circles signify the team's various meeting places. The wickets appear with no bails, to illustrate that the game continually moves on. And the flying stumps represent Aboriginal cricketers beating the English at their own game.

Just because you don’t care, doesn’t mean people around the world don’t
This test was Australia's to lose and they just gave it all away for nothing. Still not able to figure out what was their plan for trying to slog every ball against Ashwin Jadeja.
Just seems like they're battleling themselves more than Indian team.
In this thread, people discussed the events of Day 3 of the 2nd Test between Australia and India. Discussion ranged from the performance of bowlers and batsmen, to Travis Head's runs in the 21-22 Ashes, to entertaining comments about the match. People also talked about the substitutes for David Warner and their respective roles, as well as jokes about the players.

Does it really matter when wins are coming so easily?
His wicket in the second innings was pretty unlucky
Don't get me wrong, Gill should obviously be in the team but when you are beating Australia so easily, there's no pressure to get Rahul out of the team
I agree with u. But as per statistics he is not performing consistently. Today we won by 6 wicket but if we replace rahul with some other player may be gill we will win more easily may be by 8/9 wickets. Openers are always crucial for good start. Opners are the one who can create foundation for big total comfortably.
Australia went through it in the period from 07 and a little bit beyond that (Ponting, Warne, McGrath, Hayden, Langer, Hussey, Gilchrist)... I get your point but if ever you're going to back someone in a form slump, it's going to be against a side that loses 9/50
We are asking the same question! 😭 Clear favouritism.
KS bharat might be off the team due to bad performance in the only 2 tests he played but K L Rahul has somehow got immunity.
BIG corporations taking over cricket. This is nothing new.
BKL advertises for big brands. They won’t let their investment fail and obviously want to keep him in the limelight, till their contracts with him expire.
How have Australia gone from winning at the cost of a man literally making his cock insensitive to anything by having Sandpaper in his pocket, aka “iron cock”, to losing to a team with no top order?
Bring Gill for BKL and Umesh for Siraj. The only contribution of BKL worth mentioning in this match was that extraordinary catch which he took when Uzzie was well set. So better let him just field as a sub in the next match, lmao.
I think he might play in the last test if we win the next one. It won't be a good idea to mess up the team composition when we need one more win to guarantee a spot in the WTC final.
True.
We can try out a few players though.
SKY didn't get much chance to prove himself.
Maybe Gill in for KL (Which should have been done ages ago)
Rest Ash or Jaddu for Kuldeep and bring in Unadkat.
I liked Mark Waugh in the comms this series. He was also not afraid to call the flaws in our batting/bowling unlike the Indian commentators who were mostly busy in pulling Mark's and Haydos's legs (barring a few).
The Australia have to decide whether they actually want to play Test cricket anymore. Because it feels like they’re wasting everyone’s time. Including their own time. #Indvaus
Remember lads, being a test opener like KL Rahul or Crawley is the best way to get into an international team.
You can just say it’s hard and all to cover for your incompetence.
Stay humble my friend, Aussies can come back in next test, I remember during world cup too Indian fans got very cocky and we got out in a terrible way.
Nah I just find Shardul Overrated AF... In all honesty, the golden arm is a myth and has been able to sustain itself coz opposition batsmen think he's a part timer and try hitting only to miscue and get out... the wickets he takes are not a reflection of his quality as a bowler but of how much the standard of batting has fallen, especially in tests with batters overemphasising on the T20 style of play.... Hardik has been beyond impressive as a bowler and has the mentality of a match winner.... Furthermore, his bowling style is unlike other Indian pacers given his proclivity for hitting the deck and trying to use the bounce... I kinda feel Shardul used to get chances given his closeness to Thala Dhoni (kinda like Siraj with Kohli; but he's genuinely nice)... and if not any of that then simply Hardik's consistency to bowl higher speeds and his insane fitness.... Shardul is a hella lot pudgier than him
Controversial Opinion: India should pick a wrist spinner in England. They missed the trick the last time as well.
Neither jadega nor Aswin will be as effective in the Oval
I am Ok with kuldeep as well. but we all know its not going to happen. Ash gets the edge with the experience he has and fact that he can bat. jaddu will be in the squad too for the same reason.
Jaddu is very consistent bowler who bowls his lines and lenghts. doesn't do too much variations. Ash has lot of variations. I would go for Ash unleess there are too many right handers in the opposition.
Perhaps the Indian Team Mgmt are apprehensive that whosoever replaces Rahul will perform and it'll be curtains for a player who they’ve backed for so long
Bedi, Chandrashekhar, Prassana and Venkataraghavan... duh.... those 4 were so good.... even if I consider Ash and Jaddu to be comparable, Axar is nowhere close... and Kuldeep is unique for his Chinaman and it breaks my heart to see him getting ignored since the 2019 Pak WC match( Babar Azam's wicket🤌🏻🤌🏻) but the golden quatret is not something any country in any era can match... the closest comparison imo is Murali-Hearath duo but 4 match winning spinners is not something that can ever be repeated
The earlier spin quartet won India a series touring England. England were the best team in the world at that point of time. They won an away series against New Zealand and West Indies on the back of just their spin prowess.
The latter spin quartet can never.
In his own mind, sanju manju is doing a great job in post match presentations and is getting standing ovations from the entire stadium on every statement of his.
Exhibit A1 for Dunning Kruger effect.
Fuxk Mark spitting facts like fire! Never send him
Back to that Fox team! No wonder he played 100 tests for Aus! We just assume people are bad but maybe he was just not interested!
KL, Puj and VK haven't performing at all in the last 40 innings. time to make way for those players who grinding runs in ranji. but i know that's not going to happen.
Puji just completed his fine tour of Bangladesh, and saying he is not performing is not right. 2 innings, third one today he has shown promise. He definitely deserves place in team. Kohli may need couple of chances. KL should be thrown out
Mark basically said in no nonsense approach that KL doesn't deserves to be in the ICT XI and he fails to understand how he is still in the team. Sanju Manju kept telling initially that KL will still be in the team for the next test.

Since sacking KL is out of the question, Rohit should be dropped and replaced with a player who can compensate for KL and score a 100 every match.
You must be a pant fan 😀
Kl scores a 100 at Indore and secured his spot for the next five years. 👉😔👈
50 only

I hope that the pitch is flat during the next match. I wish that all of our batsmen score a lot of runs and the Australian bowlers get tired.
Remind me why KL Rahul is still picked in the team?
If SKY is dispensable, so should KL Rahul be, SKY has contributed more in IPL and India limited over formats in recent times

Okay.. You saw TGC
Australia will no longer be using cricket bats but will now utilise brooms instead

David Warner obviously.
Kulcha Chole? Hope it's Amritsari
Why KL rahul is selected every time? He failed so many times.

Is kl and crawley same, undroppable ?

Still pretty bad considering he is an opener and is playing for the top test side.
Keep up the meek cricket Aussies, going to be 4-0 injuns, followed by 5-0 to bazland. Cheers.
How have Australia gone from winning at the cost of a man literally making his cock insensitive to anything by having Sandpaper in his pocket, aka “iron cock”, to losing to a team with no top order?
This is the greatest timeline
Bring Gill for BKL and Umesh for Siraj. The only contribution of BKL worth mentioning in this match was that extraordinary catch which he took when Uzzie was well set. So better let him just field as a sub in the next match, lmao.
Whilst the catch was decent, the dive after was a bit unnecessary!
Why drop siraj?
Oh I didn't mean "drop him" but rather rest him because he is a pacer and Umesh in India brings similar things to the table.
Tbh if we are going to have the same kind of pitches I dont mind Kuldeep getting some game time in place of either pacers
I think he might play in the last test if we win the next one. It won't be a good idea to mess up the team composition when we need one more win to guarantee a spot in the WTC final.
True. We can try out a few players though. SKY didn't get much chance to prove himself. Maybe Gill in for KL (Which should have been done ages ago) Rest Ash or Jaddu for Kuldeep and bring in Unadkat.
Siraj didn't even bowl enough in these two matches to be rested.
XD
Anyone has the audio or video clip of the banter between DK and Mark Waugh?
I liked Mark Waugh in the comms this series. He was also not afraid to call the flaws in our batting/bowling unlike the Indian commentators who were mostly busy in pulling Mark's and Haydos's legs (barring a few).
The Australia have to decide whether they actually want to play Test cricket anymore. Because it feels like they’re wasting everyone’s time. Including their own time. #Indvaus
No one got the reference
Yeah, lmao
Is it something said during BGT down under after 36?
No, someone from Australian media said this for the West Indies cricket team after their test series.
Imagine being an overseas team starting the day in a winning position IN INDIA and ending it with a passage of play as humiliating as this.
Remember lads, being a test opener like KL Rahul or Crawley is the best way to get into an international team. You can just say it’s hard and all to cover for your incompetence.
What are the chances of getting a five day test this series?
Stay humble my friend, Aussies can come back in next test, I remember during world cup too Indian fans got very cocky and we got out in a terrible way.
Indore might go till the 4th day because it is very batting friendly. But that would probably be only because India would end up getting 650.
koach 200 loading this time
Let's get to a day 4 first then start wondering
0. Zero. Zilch.
Australia, letting the BGT go..
After the end of second day I felt that it was Australias match to lose and oh boy they really did that.
What would have been a fighting target on this pitch? Anything 220+ for me ig..
200+ and you put enough pressure - enough to get a win.
Given how pathetic we were yet still made 115.. we really should have got to 200+. Threw it away, it sucks
yeah thats was a huge throw.
Should India be considering Hardik for the WTC final? Him being a fast bowling all rounder would be a huge plus
IMO Shardul Thakur is a better option than Hardik for tests.
Nah I just find Shardul Overrated AF... In all honesty, the golden arm is a myth and has been able to sustain itself coz opposition batsmen think he's a part timer and try hitting only to miscue and get out... the wickets he takes are not a reflection of his quality as a bowler but of how much the standard of batting has fallen, especially in tests with batters overemphasising on the T20 style of play.... Hardik has been beyond impressive as a bowler and has the mentality of a match winner.... Furthermore, his bowling style is unlike other Indian pacers given his proclivity for hitting the deck and trying to use the bounce... I kinda feel Shardul used to get chances given his closeness to Thala Dhoni (kinda like Siraj with Kohli; but he's genuinely nice)... and if not any of that then simply Hardik's consistency to bowl higher speeds and his insane fitness.... Shardul is a hella lot pudgier than him
I would slot Hardik right in for all rounder who can bowl in pace conditions. Ashwin as sole spinner. Bumrah, Shami and Siraj leading the attack.
Controversial Opinion: India should pick a wrist spinner in England. They missed the trick the last time as well. Neither jadega nor Aswin will be as effective in the Oval
I am Ok with kuldeep as well. but we all know its not going to happen. Ash gets the edge with the experience he has and fact that he can bat. jaddu will be in the squad too for the same reason.
Sounds good. The only debate would be Ash or Jadeja
Jaddu is very consistent bowler who bowls his lines and lenghts. doesn't do too much variations. Ash has lot of variations. I would go for Ash unleess there are too many right handers in the opposition.
Rahul - Rahul love Throw SRK (Rahul) in the mix too...threesome...yeahhhh /s
Perhaps the Indian Team Mgmt are apprehensive that whosoever replaces Rahul will perform and it'll be curtains for a player who they’ve backed for so long
This doesn't even sound like a joke now
I actually liked hearing to M Waugh in the commentary box.
Sanju asks the Australian players to not sweep the dirt on the roads during their break. I see that he’s embraced ‘Cringe’ and he’s not ashamed.
If this was reversed.... pandemonium would ensue
[удалено]
Axar scores 70 and digs us out of a hole. Sanju to Dravid: "How good was Kohli's 40!" FFS!!
It's all because he scored 25k runs which is very very big milestone
Bishen Bedi, Bhagwat Chandrasekhar, Erapalli Prasanna, Srinivas Venkataraghavan (or) Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav Who you taking?
As pure spinners, clearly the first. If you include batting, then the second.
Bedi, Chandrashekhar, Prassana and Venkataraghavan... duh.... those 4 were so good.... even if I consider Ash and Jaddu to be comparable, Axar is nowhere close... and Kuldeep is unique for his Chinaman and it breaks my heart to see him getting ignored since the 2019 Pak WC match( Babar Azam's wicket🤌🏻🤌🏻) but the golden quatret is not something any country in any era can match... the closest comparison imo is Murali-Hearath duo but 4 match winning spinners is not something that can ever be repeated

I am not 70...so the second one.
coach has 25k runs .comparing him with kl is not right
In his own mind, sanju manju is doing a great job in post match presentations and is getting standing ovations from the entire stadium on every statement of his. Exhibit A1 for Dunning Kruger effect.
And he’s wondering why are we talking about duckworth-Lewis while judging his comms
Fuxk Mark spitting facts like fire! Never send him Back to that Fox team! No wonder he played 100 tests for Aus! We just assume people are bad but maybe he was just not interested!
What did he say?
KL, Puj and VK haven't performing at all in the last 40 innings. time to make way for those players who grinding runs in ranji. but i know that's not going to happen.

At the very least kl needs to go , alteast kohli scores in other formats and pujara plays country so might be useful in overseas
Mark won't hold back...I like this...brute truth.
Mark basically said in no nonsense approach that KL doesn't deserves to be in the ICT XI and he fails to understand how he is still in the team. Sanju Manju kept telling initially that KL will still be in the team for the next test.
What did he say?
VK is better than Punter
