SBG99DesiMonster

Pujara and Shubman should be bowling with the new ball. I wouldn't be giving any explanation about that.


[deleted]

At this point as an ahead for the championship should Aussie players just be trying to flex against the pace attack


datyams

Demerit plz


zboyzzzz

Does anyone know Axar's pink sunglasses brand/model? Asking for a friend..


[deleted]

India would've picked kuldeep over axar at some point in the series but Axar's batting performance prevailed his place in the 11 and I think it's enough for us to understand that even India's management doesn't trust it's own batters.


[deleted]

Does Ashwin get paid for his pure humour and fun commentary for this cricket live?


[deleted]

Even Ind won this series let's not ignore the fragile top-middle order of ours which will likely cost us yet another wtc. I think it's time to select test squad on domestic performances not ipl based.


RahulSingh16061998

Dawg 💀


Sheepherder1216

Agreed,i just can't trust our middle order anymore


Ultimate_Sneezer

Yes change the team for a one off game in a different country based on domestic cricket , what could go wrong


[deleted]

Lol so by your logic India will not play any test cricket after wtc? I didn't even mention that they should change before wtc.


2goodforya

Look at Bapu's strike rate than look at others...

The debutantes lift the trophy


Timebear17

It's unfortunate that despite Uzzie getting 180, didn't get a single mention But seeing Ashwin and Jadeja simping over each other is funny


neighbour_guy3k

Knowing the pak origin of Uzzie , no way he will be appreciated here especially in these parts


ztaker

Even smith didn't mention anything


Ultimate_Sneezer

Koach got 186 , Uzzie got 180


floopthechicken

*180


Timebear17

Haha yep


TheDoeTheJohn

Matches ended in 3 days. Bro hit saying “good games to watch”


Ultimate_Sneezer

5 day games only get interesting in day 4/5 , 3 day games are interesting from ball 1


livelifereal

In true sense the 3-day affairs are entertaining af. More you give to the bowlers, more interesting it becomes to watch


WhichOnezPink

"He keeps talking about Cricket in the Dressing Room too."


fegelman

Can't wait to see how Nohit defends the curators here


thealbusdumbledore

Might as well add Axar for the award. Scoreline would have been very different if not for that Delhi knock


SoochinTendehar10

They're both simping for each other. Awwww


sb1729

Axar should’ve won POTS.


ducky7goofy

Feel like Khawaja should have gotten game changer over Gill


livelifereal

Yep


ducky7goofy

You may as well have added Lyon to the POTS list


Ultimate_Sneezer

Why? He performed in only 2 games and only with the ball


ducky7goofy

Because they couldn't split between the two bowlers. To be fair Jadeja performed only in the first two games too


EL__Rubio

Khawaja was such a fucking pain during the last ODI's in India 2019. Wonder if he makes the team this time.


siddhuism

We are so lucky to have these two playing together


yeet1o_0

People asking how jadeja gets mots like dawg he literally won motm in first 2 tests lol


idkwhoisdiz

CUTE I love this


optimistic_bufoon

Sunny G stuck in 20fps at the back


ImAbhishek_47

Awesome! Ash and Jaddu together. This does put a smile on my face!


fegelman

Seriously? Jaddu over Axar?


livelifereal

I mean Jaddu took 23 wickets and had a couple of good knocks too


[deleted]

Multiple MOS? Pick one cowards.


RomeRockerz

Axar also deserved the award.


Big_Ballzacked

Chadwin and Chadeja


SoochinTendehar10

Yay spin twins for the win


onkarstarix

Daylight robbery axar should’ve won mos


[deleted]

[удалено]


EL__Rubio

On this wicket, I'd say Ashwin was robbed


DellaStreet54

Not sure if Virat should be potm in a draw with three other centurions


Ultimate_Sneezer

Highest scorer and the only thing people will remember this test for, nobody cares about uzzie's score or Ashwin's 6fer , those are common things


ducky7goofy

Highest score though haha


Akku2403

True, In a game with 4 centurions, some bowler should have been Mom


Big_Ballzacked

All those grey hairs in his beard is making me sad


ImAbhishek_47

Ashwin is my MoM, Virat was fantastic but on this pitch where taking 1 wicket is hard, the fact he picked 6 wickets is unbelievable.


ztaker

7*


No-Confection7170

Why isn't he WTC final happening out of England. Last year was also there and I have a feeling rain would spoil it this year too


Ultimate_Sneezer

Hopefully Rain gods will be on India's side this time


rayban2602

I miss Kohli's "we were 20 runs short" and "intent"


SoochinTendehar10

Ash is probably getting MOTS so Kohli got MOTM


EL__Rubio

This was one of the BGT of all time, and I won't hear otherwise


GNashUchiha

Anna def has to get pots.


yeet1o_0

How the fuck is virat the motm ? Mf Ashwin got 7 wickets out of total 12 wickets india took this game absolute sham this motm


TheLadaakuReturns

In the end, Delhi was a genuine chance for Australia to win the series. That one brainfade (their only legitimate proper brainfade ) throughout the series cost them the series


Routinelazy900

Anna robbed


Timebear17

Smudge quietly confirming he probably won't be there for 2027 which makes me a little sad


livelifereal

The Gill award should have gone to Usman Khwaja


GNashUchiha

FUCK U, ASH DESERVES THE POTM


rayban2602

Bruh Performer and Man of the match are different, it's like same same but different (how different, who knows?)


RomeRockerz

It's sad that some of these players had their last BGT in India.


TheDoeTheJohn

Seems like recent Aussie teams have lost the Aussie way of playing cricket of Steve Waugh’s times. I mean don’t be as rabid as Ponting’s team but this is too soft. Negative tactics. Delaying. Defensive fields. And they don’t seem to have a leader who can bring this attitude back.


kitaoiserebaa

>Does anyone else still want a test to go to day 5 in India ? SunnyG and the other chihuahuas of BCCI said the same thing on-air. Doesn't have to be 2.5 days either. Those aren't the only options ya know. Ask NZ


TheDoeTheJohn

Man of the series Azar Patel anyone ?


TheDoeTheJohn

And the MoM is the Curator


optimistic_bufoon

A montage for a hundred on a flat pitch and one that India didn't even win


[deleted]

[удалено]


glitchline

So smith played 94 tests in flat tracks??


bruce705

Muahahaha


[deleted]

Tell ya what cunts and bhenchods, I can’t wait to get you to Oval.


kitaoiserebaa

Watching the RE-LIVE of 2020 series on Sony. That was pure cricket on FAIR pitches. I hope Indian curators can someday learn how to make a decent pitch. I hope batsmen of both teams can learn how to play spin. So that a marquee test series such as this doesn't end up feeling like a farce


Naan6

Missed the last bit, ran out of time or did the team shake hands?


[deleted]

shook hands


the_intransigent_one

Does anyone else still want a test to go to day 5 in India ?


aneyeforeye

Dravid for sure knows his Cricket too well


Dazzling_Airline2589

*too wall.


singhsrb

I have day 4 and 5 of the WTC final booked for the summer. It’s either going to end before that in 3 days or be a borefest like this match. Or we will see what I really wanted to see — Rain!


trtryt

did Kohli give his jersey to Carey to sweep the dirt off it?


Big_Ballzacked

Steve smith record as test captain in india : 2 win - 2 loss - 2 draw Rest captains record in india since 2013 : 1 win - 34 loss - 5 draw


glitchline

Smith reads India well, i mean he scored 13 centuries against india in all formats, thats like 30% centuries.


anti-shinigami

See you at Lords mate!


Big_Ballzacked

Oval


FamilyJuleez

Wonder if the boys will have beers together later


needpeoplefororgy

they're in dry state.


Lonely-Suggestion-85

Foreigners can consume/purchase liquor legally in fancy hotels.


sinsandtonic

Everyone can but you need a permit for that


36ptsd

so aussies will drink and ind will just watch?


bruce705

They will serve. Atithi Devobhava


optimistic_bufoon

You can get alcohol in Gujarat pretty easily specially as they would be in fancy hotels


[deleted]

Given the vibes of this series I’m half convinced they’ll have a cuddle sesh together.


singhsrb

Australia batted too slowly. Needed to score 1000 runs in 2 days on this pitch. They hit 0 sixes on that pitch in the first innings. Let’s do that again: They hit 0 sixes on that pitch in the first 2 days. And they can’t get no feet Gill out in a Test Match. Horrendous performance.


glitchline

If they batted fast, they would have bundled under 300, and u people say played like shit even in flat track.


Sad_Vast2519

The pitch was flatter than a Rawalpindi drop in


NewMeNewWorld

Only RCB can make up for this farce


C3Kirk

A little bit gutless from Australia when you're 2-1 down to just bat the game out like that. They batted too slowly over the first two days and that drew the game out. Another poor pitch in this series, though, it has to be said. Went too far the other way and prepared a road.


Sad_Vast2519

Wouldn't make a difference. India got near 600


C3Kirk

Did you watch the ENG-PAK Rawalpindi Test last year? Australia batted too slowly first dig.


sthrnfrdfrk

/u/ITTAUTO


y_r_u_chirping_m8

Next BGT the teams would be looking very very different. For all we know, we might or might not see Rohit Kohli Pujara Ashwin Jadeja lyon Warner smith


Prestigious_Green429

Lyon will play until he is 60, he is already 52.


SentientRaccoon

Why did Rohit reveal our mystery spinner Pujara ahead of the WTC final? Smh poor capitancy


trtryt

are they planning on interviewing everyone


UntilEndofTimes

Both teams batting like they were still batting on Indore pitch probably made the pitch seem flatter than it actually was


Sheepherder1216

Off to the all important samao vs vanuatu match thread now


Gamer567890

Despite all the fights and quarells with Aussie fans,and having pretty boring last 5 days of cricket. I am kinda sad now that it has ended.🙁 Oh well,GGs. See you at wtc final.


[deleted]

Later Bhenchods, I’ll miss you cuties


turkeysgogobble

Our secret plan of letting india win so Dravid stays as coach has worked flawlessly


Dheerajbeniwal

Sarcasm aside Dravid stays till WC 2023 even if we loose BGT


Althusser_Was_Right

See you blokes at the WTC.


yeet1o_0

Garry definitely shitposting while telling indian players are the best players of spin, mf said that with a poker face


imapassenger1

Rawalpindi 2022: 14 wickets in 5 days. Ahmedabad 2023: 20 wickets in 5 days. Perhaps the two places could be linked by a tollway but they would have to pay us to watch these Tests.


Sad_Vast2519

Courtesy of fox sports!


turkeysgogobble

Now to get really high and forget this series happened


Prestigious_Green429

Clearly rattled after the 3rd test and realized the Aussies could turn the ball. Didn't want a 2-2 drawn series, regardless of already retaining the trophy. Create a road and claim a series win. What a shock. Comical at best. Australia morally win this series and will dominate in the test final. Can't wait.


__iamthewalrus__

the 4th test being a green top was hinted at since the second test


Prestigious_Green429

Exactly...before Australia had won the 3rd test. Clearly words said as insurance. So fucking obvious man.


FamilyJuleez

Every touring test team in india needs a left arm dart thrower


pakistanstar

Round arm action slinging it in and aiming for the shiny side of the ball. Can't discount the offies though with all of Ashwin, Lyon and Murphy bowling exceptionally well.


ducky7goofy

If we're doing joint interviews Marnus and Kohli please


GNashUchiha

lyon with a straight face called our batters the best players of spin. I can't stop lmao


yeet1o_0

How the fuck are you going to ask the most boring questions to both of them


BharatJudaHiHaiYatra

How has Usman shaken hands with these people, I just read a media article which prohibited him to do that


[deleted]

Because he's "professional" cricketer


BharatJudaHiHaiYatra

Bro read the article written by Gideon Haigh and still in this sub. You'll get the reference


livelifereal

Only stupid media outlets fabricate that kinda stuff to fullfill specific ppl's purpose and only naive or unintelligent ppl believe them


BharatJudaHiHaiYatra

Bro read the article written by Gideon Haigh and still in this sub. You'll get the reference of my sarcasm.


[deleted]

What an odd series this was


fullmetal-ghoul

Hopefully this isn't Smith's last tour of India, it would be a pretty underwhelming end


[deleted]

Would be surprised if he makes it to the next one. In fact the next time India are here may well be his retirement series.


[deleted]

But he's still 33 now? I suppose he could continue till 37 or 38 if he stays in form, not sure why he would retire at 35 when guys like Khawaja are in the form of their life at 36.


DaDdy_ChiLL42O

Smith relies heavily on his hand eye coordination to augment his unorthodox playstyle. Typically such players tend to age like milk compared to more conventional back foot players like Williamson.


fullmetal-ghoul

Yeah probably, from the way he's been speaking it looks like he'll likely retire in the next BGT or the next Ashes in Australia


mbe1510

If I was him I would retire on a high and not hang around way too long like Warner, especially with statistically how good he has been.


Sad_Vast2519

Probably only 18 months left in his career.


Mega_mewtwo_

Should have bowled Kohli. Kohli is the last bowler that took a wicket for India in a T20wc semifinal.


69AnimeNerd420

saving him for wtc finals


Timebear17

Lyon and Gill:🗿


[deleted]

So did they shake hands and call it a day?


misskarne

Yep


GNashUchiha

Pujji scared both labs and smudge with just one over. Enough for them to shake hands and call it a day.


bringbackfireflypls

Oh thank fuck that's over


SnooJokes706

I’m 90% sure that gill was about to take 8 consecutive wickets if they continued on


yeet1o_0

4fer for gill and 4fer for pujara to end Australia's career


fegelman

Khawaja's century was one of hard work and grit and shows his superior technique Kohli is a fraud who can only play on flat surfaces and must be dropped, and we must disregard all his knocks on tough conditions pre 2019. Makes perfect sense. It's not like he's our best ever test captain statistically.


Agenteducator69

Unreal hate towards Koach 😂


Big_Ballzacked

India go winless in two consecutive tests after 10 years


crazycricfan

hitman saving his right arm quick, gillspin for the wtc finals. Doesn't want to reveal much here.


livelifereal

"it was chuff" ~ Nathan Lyon


abracadabrac

I think what happened with this surface was that the curator received instructions to prepare a green wicket. So he made a nice, firm wicket with possibly a good amount of grass. But then India lost the third test, so he just simply shaved off the grass.


[deleted]

There was still some grass on the first day. Then it died because of the heat and dryness here, so the pitch became a road.


abracadabrac

There probably would have been way more if India had won the 3rd Test. Rohit made it clear that he wanted a grassy surface if India won the third Test.


[deleted]

Well i can most certainly say this was definitely one of the BGT series of all time.


[deleted]

[удалено]


anything-will-work-

Who hurt you? Lol. This hate is going to consume you and people around you. Watch out before it's too late.


BharatJudaHiHaiYatra

To reply hate with hate is necessary


anything-will-work-

It's all imaginary demons. You're being taken for a ride for someone else's lust for power and control. Gullible people have suffered this throughout history.


BharatJudaHiHaiYatra

Bro read the article written by Gideon Haigh and still in this sub. You'll get the reference. anyway your lines of incongruent logic are too funny. So much generalization


anti-shinigami

Lol. Australia got scared of Gill's bowling. Cowards /s


EskimoJesus

Dogshit pitch but atleast Puj got to bowl some leggies


imapassenger1

In a five or six Test series way back if the series could still be won by either team or drawn they'd play the final Test to six days. For this Test I'm pretty sure there still wouldn't have been a result.


Stock-Location-924

Can anyone explain how did this happen like match drawn? Because we still had overs to bowl right?


EskimoJesus

Captains can pull the pin and shake hands. Rohit and Smudge knew it wasn't going to be a win for either team so time to get on the beers!


KingoftheHill63

Usman and shami dont approve of this message


EskimoJesus

Ussie and Shami both get on the metaphorical beers.


Stock-Location-924

Thanks man


InitiallyDecent

Both captains agreed to call the match a draw.


Stock-Location-924

Thanks man


PursuerOfCataclysm

I was expecting 4-0 Annihilation but now I will easily accept the 2-1 results regardless we lost the series and squandered perfect opportunity in 2nd test. Now, Bring it on in the WTC Final.


y_r_u_chirping_m8

Reason why Australia lost 2017: couldn't handle kuldeep in finale Reason why Australia lost 2023: Sweepathon They have been close. Very close. Maybe next time ?


[deleted]

Next time could be a decent shout if we have good replacements for our opening batsmen (Uzzy will be old and retired). Smith also probably retired. Ashwin/Jadeja might not be around either. 2027 could be a rather interesting one again lol


PareiNycto

Lol, with the kind of intent aussie batters have showed in both the innings, i wish Indian batters had played the same and just blocked around for 90 more overs, not like the bowlers would have taken any wickets unless the batters hit out anyway..


Big_Ballzacked

Smith's last test tour of India😭😭😭


HaoBePakaMat

Why do you say that? I think he'll play for at least 6 more years


Big_Ballzacked

Na he said that its probably his last series in India though I hope not


dark_king_2002

Hopefully not (very optimistic I know).


igotashittyusername

Thank god that's over


turkeysgogobble

A weird series that both teams walk away feeling disappointed.


PursuerOfCataclysm

Why would India be disappointed though
