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

[Devadwal]

Done and dusted .

 

[kingusama92]

Why does this look like one of those WWE skits as Bumrah walks off backstage?

 

[BDfanforever]

just logged in and seeing Bumrah leaving. I said this before start of match, if I was Bumrah I would rest myself and get fit for IPL coming up. These useless test matches arent worth risking some 20+ Crore IPL career.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a brain dead selection. Last time we had 4 full time seamers. Why are they selecting Sundar if they are not going use him at all.

 

[asarkar]

It seems Bumrah has gone for a scan with the medical team. That likely spells the end of the match and the series. Hard luck.

Everyone is not greedy like Bangladesh and Bangladeshi sellout umpire .

 

[kingusama92]

Quality innings from Webster on debut.

 

[Technics 1210]

Well well, Bumrah has injured himself, though have to say, this is all so coincidental following that mysterious roll fall out his shoe.

 

[Buffet]

Done and dusted .

Pity, test and series would have been so much livelier with him bowling.

I would have liked Aus to win here with BUmrah bowling and not without him.

Anyway, test is done here then. Other Indians bowlers are not going to pick up 20 wickets cheaply to win it with one bowler short.

Great entertainment while it lasted.

 

[Croma]

Just logged in to see Burmah is injured

 

[Ab Fan]

Cummins gone! Chalo 7 down and still we have some lead.

 

[pillionrider]

Hahahaha Sunnyg and Mark Nicholas are for sure employed by Virat's PR team. This is getting severely cringe now. Going gaga over a regulation slips catch as if he did a Steve Smith or Ponting lol.

Or maybe they're just happy he held one.

 

[Devadwal]

Cummins gone! Chalo 7 down and still we have some lead.

Webster along with tails can add another 70 runs very easily.

 

[Farabi]

Good bowling by India. P Krishna and Siraj coming to the party makes this bowling attack so much more potent. Interesting phase of play.

 

[Devadwal]

Gone.

 

[Hitman]

Starc gone.

 

[kingusama92]

If they can keep the lead to below 50, India can make put a lot of pressure on Australia.

 

[kingusama92]

India might even end up with a lead here.

 

[Devadwal]

Great catch.

But 2 wickets left and webster easily can add another 50-60 runs.

 

[Savak]

The quality of India's slip catching vis a vis Pakistan. This is the difference bw competing against big teams.

I think shafique is a better slip fielder than these guys

Only Rahul is good. Kohli is crap slip catcher.

 

[mango_bite77]

India is well positioned in this game. If they manage to score 200-230 in 2nd innings, Aus not gonna chase it.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

India's game to lose

 

[Buffet]

Bumrah is out. Aus needs to add 70 runs here.

Aus will chase it Bumrah is not bowling. Top order of Aus is not going to get blown away easily.

 

[Devadwal]

Yes prasid. Shasbash

 

[jnaveen1980]

Webster gone !!! big wicket

 

[kingusama92]

Webster gone.

Australia is in a bad spot now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Aus will chase it Bumrah is not bowling. Top order of Aus is not going to get blown away easily.

HOpe pitch cracks and spinners come into equation. That is the only hope

 

[kingusama92]

Now Australia's best batsman comes out to the crease.

 

[Buffet]

What a crap!

 

[Devadwal]

God please fit Bumrah for 2nd innings. Please

I was expecting Rohit Sharma to come from the side and give him the stone-cold stunner before putting on the captain's armband.

 

[Devadwal]

Don't give freebie

 

[Buffet]

HOpe pitch cracks and spinners come into equation. That is the only hope

It's easier to chase 200 runs unless it's a turner. It's much harder with some great pacers.

I will bank on Aus to win this one inning shootout if India does not score many runs. One bowler short and that too Bumrah, means huge advantage.

 

[Devadwal]

Prasidh krishna got his line and length right. He always get extra bounce so just need to Bowl in the channel .

 

[Nikhil_cric]

@Nikhil_cric the ends with which Siraj is bowling not effective much for pacers, why?

Maybe more indentations on the pitch on that side

 

[kingusama92]

I think India will bat well in the second innings and put up a 300+ lead.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Fantastic fight back by the pace attack. However don’t get too excited, we are going to be 30/5 in a matter of an hour here. This batting has continued to let us down for ages i know test cricket. I have absolutely no hopes from them putting up a decent total to defend.

 

[Major]

Why does this look like one of those WWE skits as Bumrah walks off backstage?

Ohhh i thought the same.

Apprently its due to the stadium having inside or underground parking like how event and sports arenas do in the US.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Prasidh's action and bounce he gets reminds me a little of Shane Bond.

 

[Bhaijaan]

I think India will bat well in the second innings and put up a 300+ lead.

Years passed in hopes of that.
We are a consistently poor test batting order bro

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a great series neverthless. I never expected India to survive whole series. One legend retired midway. Captain kicked out. Shami never arrived as we were told.

 

[Devadwal]

Last wicket partnership can add another 40-50 runs like last test match .

 

[asarkar]

No matter what people say, this is why India has been successful in Australia despite adversity and skill gaps—their unwavering, never-say-die attitude.

 

[Romali_rotti]

If Prasidh can add a little more pace he could become a tricky bowler to handle.

 

[Bhaijaan]

What a brain dead selection. Last time we had 4 full time seamers. Why are they selecting Sundar if they are not going use him at all.

Gautam Gambhir era of ruthless aggression

 

[Devadwal]

Pace is enough just need to Bowl in good area. He is mostly bowl wayward line

 

[Hitman]

Thank God Rohit isn't playing!

 

[Devadwal]

Score is almost level

 

[Bhaijaan]

70 run last wicket partnership coming up for Australia

 

[kron]

If Prasidh can add a little more pace he could become a tricky bowler to handle.

Just need more accuracy

 

[kron]

What a brain dead selection. Last time we had 4 full time seamers. Why are they selecting Sundar if they are not going use him at all.

Cause our bowlers can't bar barring akashdeep
Rana is supposed to but dint look good.

 

[Devadwal]

Jasprit Bumrah leaves stadium

Indians be like -


@Rajdeep

 

[kron]

Always said prasidh
Rana
Kuldeep Sen

All should have been backed
Brain dead bcci

 

[BouncerGuy]

Fantastic comeback by India but in absence of Bumrah, things will get difficult for them

 

[Devadwal]

It’ll be a second inning shoot out for the win and we don’t have bumrah and half of our batting line up is cripple .

Australia easily hold all aces

 

[Devadwal]

Bowl some bouncers .

 

[Devadwal]

Gone.

We have taken 4 runs lead. Hahahahaha

 

[Bhaijaan]

This is a great series neverthless. I never expected India to survive whole series. One legend retired midway. Captain kicked out. Shami never arrived as we were told.

Is it really?
I honestly think Bumrah’s historic performance here has carried this whole series to the 5th test otherwise thanks to a terrible terrible batting display from Bharat and a very average support rec’d to Bumrah from his bowling partners, we would have been staring at a humiliating whitewash. It’s still going to be 1-3 most likely which is also bad. In my lifetime as a fan of the game I have not seen our country putting up such a sorry test batting line up even the 90s match fixers were better bro.

 

[kingusama92]

India's response in the next session will dictate how this Test turns out.

 

[kron]

@BouncerGuy

Why can't bowlers bowl bouncers at tail and get them injured? There is mo rule against that.

 

[Bhaijaan]

4 runs lead

 

[Devadwal]

With bumrah out . India is already lost the test .

 

[Bhaijaan]

India's response in the next session will dictate how this Test turns out.

Realistic expectation : 65/4

Pessimistic expectation : 54/7

Optimistic expectation : 90/2

 

[Champ_Pal]

A paltry 4 run lead.

Without Bumrah, India will not win this Test.

 

[Bhaijaan]

With bumrah out . India is already lost the test .

Even with Bumrah in how are we going to defend 100 something

 

[Buffet]

Dissapointed with Aus here.

Anyway, one inning shoot out now going to decide the series.

Aus - Ind series has not failed to dissapoint in the last 10 years.

Aus should take this with India losing the best pacer.

 

[Rajdeep]

With Bumrah out, Australia will fancy even a target of 350.

 

[mango_bite77]

Poor show by Australia against attack without Bumrah.

 

[Devadwal]

I thought australia would have easily scored 300+

But now without Bumrah australia is big favourite.

80-20 to Australia

 

[Rajdeep]

India should be flexible in their batting line up. Throw a left hander Sundar at no.3

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am glad Rohit was not captaining. IN a scenario without Bumrah you will be looking at a 100 run partnership between Cummins and Webster then another 100 run partnership between Boland and Lyon

 

[Bhaijaan]

STAT: Only the second time in the last 70 years at SCG both teams have been bowled out under 200 in their first innings. The other instance happened in the Test bw England (123) & Australia (145) in 1979/80.

I think Junaid is half right about his opinion on this series. It’s been a pathetic batting effort from both sides. One of the poorest quality batting I have seen for a supposedly premier test series. Not a great sign for cricket.

You expect to watch top quality batting, even if the scores are low if that’s down to great bowling which we are seeing btw.
