Australia (181 & 162/4) defeat India (185 & 157) by 6 wickets in the 5th Test match and win the 5-match series 3-1

[jnaveen1980]

INdia should declare right now.

 

[kron]

i hope bumrah is ok. he should try and break some bones today. dont care if we win. just brutally hurt them.
like we did in 2018.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Bumrah has too much faith in Siraj's batting

 

[Ab Fan]

How many overs left? Can India pick 2 wickets?

 

[RidiculousMan]

India should keep batting. A 40-50 from Bumrah here can completely shift the momentum

 

[Romali_rotti]

Fast-bowling Stuart McGill

Stuart McGill always outbowled Warne when they played together..

 

[kron]

How many overs left? Can India pick 2 wickets?

scotty boland is better than cummins that much is clear

btw can anyone stop prasidh today and tomorrow from running through australia? either he will kill them or get smashed into oblivion. no in between

 

[kron]

India should keep batting. A 40-50 from Bumrah here can completely shift the momentum

yea thats right but pitch will be good for batting from day 3

 

[Croma]

Captain's knock from Bumrah. Now he has scored more run than wickets he has taken

 

[Ice Man]

Captain vs Captain. Bumrah tonks Cummo for a 6 lol.

 

[stani_pak]

17-0 fans should not talk about how is india performing in australia.

Fans who control ICC and have ICC in pockets should not talk since India should never be losing a cricket match ever

 

[Ice Man]

Cummo has the last laugh for now.

Dangerous batting period coming up now.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

So around 14 overs for Australia to negotiate. This could get very interesting

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not sure if Indian bowlers can get the same out of the surface.

 

[kron]

nobody is talking about it but 2 turning points
washy being given out. he is a good player. could have added more runs
also next
gill getting out to lyon. had he stayed a bit longer he could have feasted on webster and co.

but yes. good stuff by aus bowling and also poor batting. both

 

[MP2011]

When was the last time we did something of note in a test's first innings?

 

[jnaveen1980]

INdia is atleast 100 runs short here.

 

[RidiculousMan]

5th time Cummins have got Bumrah in like 50 balls in total

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Over rate atrocious. Will Australia bat today?

 

[kron]

Not sure if Indian bowlers can get the same out of the surface.

cause of lack of height?
prasidh 5 fer
prasidh is 6'3
but built like a stick man

 

[RidiculousMan]

When was the last time we did something of note in a test's first innings?

2006 Karachi Test?

 

[stani_pak]

10 wickets taken by Aussies where all 10 wickets due to bad umpiring hahaha

Such an overrated team This India is

Day 1: Innings Break

IND 185 (72.2) CRR: 2.56

 

[Varun]

In Bumrah we trust.

 

[gazza619]

Facing Bumrah with 15 minutes to go before close of play will test Kanjus Konstas.

I would close my eyes if I was an Aussie.

 

[Ice Man]

Konstas goes the tonk lol.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Bowled out for under 200 in 1st inngs of an SCG Test last 30 years
150 Ind vs Aus 2000
127 Aus vs Pak 2010
191 Ind vs Aus 2012
185 Ind vs Aus 2025

 

[RidiculousMan]

You're not an Aussie then.

 

[Croma]

Oooooh Konstas

 

[gazza619]

In Bumrah we trust.

Batting kare Bumrah, bowling kare Bumrah, fielding kare Bumrah, Captaining kare Bumrah.

Baqi players kya malish karwane ae hain.

 

[mominsaigol]

Konstas is so fearless, probably the most entertaining test debutant/newbie I've ever watched.

 

[MP2011]

2006 Karachi Test?

I meant while batting.

 

[Ab Fan]

@kron , Bumrah bowling at 128kmph with the new red cherry. His pace is all but down. Clearly, we can say his speed is atleast 20 kmph slower than his Pakistani counterpart. Hence, we are mediocre and not good enough, we cannot compare with Pakistani counterpart in terms of speed and pace. While Shaheen and Naseem bowl 155-160 kmph thunderbolts and kill batsmen, our greatest bowler of all time bowls at 128 kmph and if he increase his pace, it reaches to 132 kmph.

 

[gazza619]

You're not an Aussie then.

I have my eyes wide open here

 

[MP2011]

Khawaja hit by Bumrah.

 

[KingLiton]

Konstas is so fearless, probably the most entertaining test debutant/newbie I've ever watched.

Kid reminds me of

In all fairness to Bumrah, he has been bowled into the ground in this series

 

[Ice Man]

Will be interesting to see him and McGurk open as a pairing in the future (if it eventuates).

Wish you had seen a teenage Boom Boom

 

[mominsaigol]

Wish you had seen a teenage Boom Boom

I did, but afridi was a hack. Konstas doesn't give that impression. He gives the impression of being a proper batter.

 

[BCCI-Enforcer]

If was a very controversial first innings. I am shocked at the umpiring on display

Bumrah is tired because he bowled more than any other bowlers in this series .

 

[mominsaigol]

Mcgurk is a hack, a baseball player disguised as a cricketer.

Konstas is definitely special however.

 

[RehanG]

Overcast conditions. Greenish pitch I don’t know if this was a good toss to win..

As I said earlier.

It was a good toss to lose.
match will be done one 3,5 days.

 

[gazza619]

I did, but afridi was a hack. Konstas doesn't give that impression. He gives the impression of being a proper batter.

Hmm. Afridi has played some proper knocks in test cricket many a times.

 

[Devadwal]

Wayward line as expected.

 

[Ab Fan]

Bumrah is tired because he bowled more than any other bowlers in this series .

But Pakistani pacers used to bowl thunderbolts at 155-160 kmph and kill batsman and send them to hospitals at their peak. Bumrah currently is bowling at a speed slightly higher than Anil Kumble.

 

[stani_pak]

If was a very controversial first innings. I am shocked at the umpiring on display

And so it begins the excuses come out

 

[Ice Man]

Mcgurk is a hack, a baseball player disguised as a cricketer.

McGurk could still have a role to play in limited overs, though. Still pretty raw and needs alot of improvement to make it.

 

[Ab Fan]

We should go home today.

 

[MP2011]

Really poor over rate from Australia today.

 

[mominsaigol]

McGurk could still have a role to play in limited overs, though. Still pretty raw and needs alot of improvement to make it.

Yes but Mcgurk is mostly be a t20 specialist and his highest ceiling will be an odi gun assuming he reaches their.

Sam konstas is clearly an all format batsmen and the goal was to replace Warner who was another all format batsmen.

Konstas and Travis should open for Australia from now on.

 

[Ab Fan]

Starc was bowling at 140 kmph today. Bumrah down at 128. Sorry, that’s poor.

 

[Ice Man]

Yep, agreed on all points.

 

[Devadwal]

What is this idiots konstas is doing with Bumrah.

 

[Devadwal]

Gone. Baap se panga ni

 

[stani_pak]

What a loser bumrah arguing with Konstas

 

[Romali_rotti]

Konstas you little kid. Need to learn to keep your mouth shut you don't motivate the best fast bowler. Poor khawaja lol

 

[Devadwal]

Hahahahaha. Idiots konstas

 

[Ice Man]

Haha Khawaja did warn Konstas not to rile up Bumrah. Next minute..

 

[MP2011]

Khawaja has been really poor entire series except for 1 innings.

End is nigh?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Konstas is in his home bubble. When he visits INdia he will be made to cry lol

 

[Protea Fan]

pure boxoffice there lol

 

[MP2011]

This Konstas kid looks to be bit of an idiot, may be youthful exuberance.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Thank you Konstas for that lol

 

[Ab Fan]

Bumrah getting last laugh at the end of days play.

 

[Devadwal]

Really poor over rate from Australia today.

Need to reduced Thier WTC point for the penalty .

12 over shorts from today Play

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Konstas kid looks to be bit of an idiot, may be youthful exuberance.

He hasn't faced Indian crowd yet. He acts like he has achieved everything in cricketing career

 

[stani_pak]

Bumrah gets khawaja out and celebrates towards the non striker batsmans

 

[Croma]

What is this idiots konstas is doing with Bumrah.

He must be tasked to get on his nerves.

 

[Savak]

Australia should move on from Khawaja after this series, no upside from carrying on with a 38 year old.

 

[Ab Fan]

This Konstas kid looks to be bit of an idiot, may be youthful exuberance.

Trying to take inspiration from Kohli.

 

[MP2011]

Konstas is Nick Kyrgios - Part II?

 

[jnaveen1980]

He must be tasked to get on his nerves.

No. He is doing on his own like a lunatic interacting with crowd.

 

[Devadwal]

He hasn't faced Indian crowd yet. He acts like he has achieved everything in cricketing career

Whenever he tour for india. He Will be crying and complaining why i came to india.

 

[Ahmed216]

What drama there at the end. Stage is set for a blockbuster day 2

 

[Ice Man]

Konstas is Nick Kyrgios - Part II?

Surely not as bad as that tosser, mate!

 

[MP2011]

Need to reduced Thier WTC point for the penalty .

12 over shorts from today Play

and it has harmed us too today. Had they bowled their overs faster, we'd have got more overs to bowl today.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Anyway game is not over yet. SIraj has to bowl much better.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Bumrah you beauty. Khawaja gone.

Day 1: Stumps - Australia trail by 176 runs
