Australia shocked the world by winning the World Cup in 2023 by coming from behind but afterwards lost their rhythm in a dramatic fashion by losing ODI series to a lowly ranked side like Sri Lanka and then throwing in the towel at home against Pakistan and South Africa. Mitchell Marsh, who has been appointed as the stand in captain in absence of Pat Cummins was in a big predicament.

But then came the Indian team lead by Shubman Gill and Gautam Gambhir and did a great favor which Aussies can't simply deny. They landed on Australian soil with a formidable looking squad comprising of Veterans like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. And despite being under pressure to field a second tier squad owing to upcoming Ashes, India aided the Aussies bid to win the series and restore their lost pride. So on behave of all Aussie fans like @mominsaigol, Cricket Australia extends Thanksgiving note to the Indian team 🦃

Expect Indian fans to claim that they dont care about this series and insert some Pakistani jargon 🤣🤣.

Had india won, they'd be creating threads upon threads.
 
Hahahahaha Pakistan fans giving a useless series so much important when we recently won a ODI champion trophy.

T20 world cup are coming up . Any thread about T20 series? :klopp :kp
 
@Hellion has already started a great thread related to it. And unlike you I won't feel shame to accept that Aqibball has been exposed big time
Do you know when I started a thread " will South Africa/ Australia Stop inviting Pakistan team to play for test series" when one of you deleted a long thread just because he didn't like that thread. But another is opening troll thread one after another . Hypocrisy ki koi limit hoti hai.

:klopp :kp
 
@The Bald Eagle any Thanksgiving more by South Africa team yk Pakistan to resorting reality about Minnows team's? :kp
Thanking two desi guys :)

I know, these guys are children with their mental age being 5. I'm not wasting my time with this thread.

One of my friends is a psychologist and he explained that its in their genes to cope and consistently formulated excuse after excuse.

It's a curse.
 
But Basit is not wrong . Watching his clownish batting against two international rookies was fun that too on his hoem ground

This is thanksgiving. India giving thanks to Australia for finishing off the careers of Rohit and Kohli.

On the other hand, you have Babar coming back to the T20 side along with Salman Agha.

No respite for your cricket . Completely talentless :dw
 
Guys please refrain from personal remarks
You created a thread for it. That's the issue.

Many Indian posters are annoying but not all of em are, and you are creating a war zone for the sake of it.

This thread and the one @Hellion created are essentially insult threads disguised as troll topic threads.

You have to understand one thing.

This year has been very tough for Pakistani fans.

India have not lost a series since BGT and have:
  1. won biggest ODI assignment of year CT undefeated
  2. won biggest T20 assignment of year AC undefeated
  3. drew biggest test assignment ATT 2-2
Plus won some bilaterals

Pak on the other hand have had a very tough year

First the double humiliation of:

1. Champion's Trophy where:
  • They didn't win a single game
  • India won undefeated
  • India kicked them out in four days
  • India kicked the final out of Pakistan with Pakistan not hosting a final in 30+ years (and probably never)
2. Asia Cup where:
  • India defeated them in 3 consecutive Sundays including the final
  • India did not shake hands
  • India claimed it was not a rivalry
  • India did not take the trophy from Naqvi and booed the Pakistani players when they came on stage.
Plus there have been red ball losses
  • Another whitewash in SA with a streak of 20 losses in the Southern hemisphere
  • Could not win easy series vs WI and SA after pitch tampering
Plus lost a bunch of random bilaterals, tri-series etc.

So Pak fans have been frustrated and sad and getting some release with this loss in some random bilateral ODI series. Guys like @Major @Rana @The Bald Eagle etc.

What makes it even more pathetic is that they are doing this fake celebration on the same day they got humiliated by randoms like Harmer and Muthusamy.
 
WC 2023
WTC 2023
WTC 2021
WC SF 2019
CT 17 F

List is long bro
Bro you need to make the KO to win lol.

Pak in the first four of those got kicked out in the first round.

And I like how you did not include CT 25 and T20 WC 24 where Pakistan again had first round exits.

Pakistan's first round exits are more than India's KO exits lol.

That is the list that is long bro.
 
Was wondering why a -++++ was calling the Australia series a useless one, went over to cricinfo, and saw they lost the series.
-++++s like you have been losing to all and sundry this year.

Lost four times vs India this year across two formats and two tournaments, both of which India won undefeated.
 
We still lead you 88-80 LIFETIME across formats. No cherry picking. Good riddance.
Lol simply cause of Pak not playing India when they were strong.

Anyways most of those are useless bilateral or Pepsi/Coca Cola/Thums Up cups.

In the real stuff ie WCs it is 15-1 lol. Even Bangladesh has a better record.

India has more ODI WCs, more T20 WCs, more CTs, more ACs. Pakistan can keep their Kitply cups.

Hahah...your anger is justified, trophy won and received in last 1 month. @Major

India 0 courtesy of brain fade....plz collect your trophy from Dubai 😉

Keep the trophy.

We already have eight others lol alongside the CT and the T20 WC trophy.

It is Pakistan who doesn't know what Asia cup trophies are.

Just 2 lol in history. SL has more.

And India won the WI test series trophy last month (which Pak couldn't).

Yes agree, Indians should be open minded like @Hellion was here
This is thanksgiving. India giving thanks to Australia for finishing off the careers of Rohit and Kohli.

On the other hand, you have Babar coming back to the T20 side along with Salman Agha.

This was an unimportant series can't read too much into results

the fact that you have write your longest post ever on pp history just shows how you are desperate to portray this series lost as not important

Naah more in amusement. And I have way longer posts smashing Pakistani delusions.

The fact that this thread was opened up by a Pakistani and there are Pakistanis posting on it show how desperate they are to portray this series as important to cope

India has certain agenda for this series. They needed to groom next set of pacers. But INdia not picking Varun for the tour and no playing kuldeep yadav is a big missed opportunity. Another experiment they could have tried was getting Tilak and Jaiswal into the mix. But two oldies are blocking. They are trying sundar as an option. Not sure it is a good exepriment. Same with Reddy experiment.

Same way Australia has certain agenda. They are trying to assemble a versatile batting unit where they have a lot of part time spinners and also bowles who can smash the bowling. Hazlewood bowled out his quota by 40th over. Starc had only 2 left for the back end. So they are preparing other bowlers to shoulder the responsibility.

This is how you handle transition. Series result means nothing for both teams.

White ball bilaterals are basically for getting teams ready for tournaments. But who will explain that to Pakistanis?

Pakistanis took joy in bilateral ODI wins and then won zero matches in CT and got kicked out in 4 days lol.

India tried out Abhishek and Tilak in bilaterals and developed them by resting Jaiswal/Gill and they contributed to smashing Pak 3-0 in the Asia Cup.

Bro what transition same Kohli and Sharma playing match after match.

That is the transition. If they perform they stay. Else kicked out. There is a reason Gill was made captain.

Both Kohli/Sharma performed in CT and was MoM in semi/final so can't kick out directly. If they still have some juice left, can stay.

Only player missing was Bumrah and he rests even in test series.

This was a commercial tour to milk Indian Aussies and parade Kohli and Sharma as a farewell.

BCCI will probably give them a home series to make money too.

No harm in it. If you can do it then why not? But let's not kid ourself this tour had any legitimate reasons for it.

They ruined us in Test series. They got kicked out. New India played impressively in England. Same way after they left Indian T20 team went to next level. Now only this format is left. Once these guys leave India will improve significantly. Indian fans just have to wait until these two announce retirement. Both play at a crucial batting position. 1 and 3.

Pandya made 90, 94, 57 last time we toured Australia. India is trying newer all rounders for future. THey are trying to groom Reddy as his backup. same way Sundar is groomed as Jadeja's replacement. Rana/Arshdeep groomed as Shami's replacement. Then there is a matter of gelling as a unit. So it will take a while.

India should have tried Jaiswal, Sanju, Tilak etc...no way India can win tournaments in SENA until they give ample chances to new blood. It remains to be seen how well they can perform without a senior figure in side.

If you look at the stats of Gill, Rahul, Pant, Jaiswal they have significantly higher average in the matches that Kohli did not feature. in Tests. Everyone averages around 60 whenever Kohli is not playing with them. Kohli does more harm to youngsters

Quite a revelation, this clearly indicates Kohli's negative influence. In all honesty, he should hang boots now...giving him chance in any home series will lead to statpadding and another long rope.

Haha blud, you just completely made that up by purely looking at the scoreboard/stats.

The Aussie commentators actually explained during the game what their actual strategy/plan for the future was.

Your forgetting a most important player who gives us perfect balance in team combination. :kp
 
Did you even watch the match. They were rotating spinners a lot.

Yes and? That doesn't mean that's the strategy they are trying to build going forward. Heck, even Travis Head was bowling, lol.

Also, Mitchell Owen is first and foremost known as destructive batter, lol. Not a "bowler who can smash the bowling". This was all explained by their commentary team.

That is why it is called experiment. duh.

So they are building for the future by giving overs to a soon to be 32 year old Travis Head instead of giving more overs to an upcomer like Cooper Connolly? Ok, gotcha 👍

I'd rather listen to their analysts than a guy who looks at the scoreboard/stats and bases his opinion off that.

Australia isn't building the future. I havent read the comments ^^ but some idiot must have said it 100%.

Their building a team for 2027 wc and 2026 t20 wc + Wtc 2027.

Travis Head, Marsh and others aren't going to expire in literally 2 years?

Who here is claiming that they are building a team for 2031?
 
I just hope some Indians (not all because sane guys here too) don't come charging down at me... If you guys want to hide behind Pandya or Pant in a truly not consequential series (agree). Then how can they cope about query that Australia missed big 3 and same Matt Short in SF against India in CT 2025.

So bottomline is don't recourse to petty excuses as it just exposes India's triumph in CT 2025 in a place where they played and practiced almost a whole month
 
THey gave it to him because Matt short out of the field duh. They even said that on the air

Bruh, if they were truly building a future strategy around part time spinners and experimenting as you say, then they could have thrown the ball to Renshaw who is also a part time spinner too (this was mentioned by their analysts).

Secondly, they also said had Green not been injured, he would have probably been in place instead of Short at #3 for this series and Green isn't even a spinner.

Some dude in this thread claiming Australia is trying to build a future strategy around part time spinners, lol.

Then again, he also said Owen is a bowler who can smash the bowling when Aussie analysts said he is a destructive batter so this guy is just likely looking at scoreboard/stats and making statements. I dunno, lol.

He can only use whoever is on the park is he? If Green is there he would have tossed the ball to him. I never said they are doing " spin experiment". They are just doing some experimental bowling changes like using Josh before 40th over. Using 8 overs of starc before 40th over.

It must have been @jnaveen1980 dude gets all his info from IPL and tries to apply them.

He blocked me a year ago cause I hurt his feelings about Laxman. Will probs block you too cause you are hurting his feelings about Part time spinners.
