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

[Bhaijaan]

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

Might as well start from the tail. It doesn’t make any difference Shubhman Gill is worse than Harbhajan Singh as a test batter.

 

[kingusama92]

With bumrah out . India is already lost the test .

Yeah if Bumrah is out it will be tough. But never know he could come back after a day's rest.

I don't think the pitch is impossible to bat on and if they see off the new ball they can do some damage.

No chance and we should not take any risk with him.

He is our national treasure so take care of him with highest priority.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Cummins should so the honourable thing and rest Boland in the second innings in respect of us losing Bumrah

 

[sweep_shot]

Expected better from Australia.

Anyway, they can still get a big win.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Don't think Bumrah should aggravate his injury. We have another 5 test series coming up. It's okay if we don't hold on to BGT> We were holding it for 10 years. Let Australia enjoy for a while. We will win back in the return tour.

 

[Bhaijaan]

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

Yes but we will have to take them into the dream world where we put up that kind of a total in Australia.

They struggled against Bangladesh to score that total lol

 

[BouncerGuy]

India on top here. they just need to bat well in the 2nd inning.

Day 2: Tea Break - Australia trail by 4 runs
IND 185
AUS 181 (51) CRR: 3.55

Agreed.

India also needs Bumrah for CT. It is less than 2 months away.

India does not deserve to win this series anyways. A victory will make the selectors ignore the shortcomings of some players in the team.

 

[Varun]

This series is hilarious because both teams are as bad as each other.

How are they on top when their main bowler is out for scans for a possible injury?

India has to score close to 300 to have any chance without Bumrah to defend in the 4th innings. So basically its not happening.

Aus are a declining team and India needs a complete overhaul. Its due for over 3 or 4 years.

As someone rightly said after last test, no need to drop Rohit and all. Just drop Bumrah and whoever in that bowling line up is giving false hopes. This whole series has been about Bumrah giving false hopes only for our deshbhakt batters to bring us down to Earth and accept defeats.

India need to bat as long as possible so that Bumrah can take his time and recover.. (in case its not serious)

 

[Devadwal]

More importantly, the IPL is coming up.

Bumrah is don't care about IPL . He will be paid off even not Play single game .

 

[pillionrider]

lollll anyone saw the Rohit interview. Looked very aggressive and saying he was going nowhere.

He needs to though. Seriously. Maybe when he calms down.

 

[Devadwal]

lollll anyone saw the Rohit interview. Looked very aggressive and saying he was going nowhere.

What will he say otherwise?

Series is still ongoing and next test series is 5 month's aways so enough time to announce the retirement before that.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Where? I have not seen.

 

[Devadwal]

Where? I have not seen.

Start sports hindi

 

[Devadwal]

Back to back boundary for Jaiswal

 

[Champ_Pal]

Jaiswal taking the aggressive route. He needs to be careful and not throw away his wicket.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Back to back boundary for Jaiswal

3 in a row.

He should not overdo it.

 

[Devadwal]

Hahahahaha they have put the fielder straightway still Third back to back boundary

 

[sweep_shot]

Is Jaiswal practicing for IPL?

 

[pillionrider]

Where? I have not seen.

It was during Tea. I'm watching on Hotstar and yeah, was in Hindi.

Basically at the end the host said some patronizing stuff calling him a legend a great captain for India and Rohit said, dude I'm not going anywhere what are you talking about, and walked off in a huff. He did turn back after a few steps and laugh though to lighten it but I think he was serious that he
1. Dropped himself for this test
2. He isn't sure that this is the end and will take a call on his test future in a couple months as he also said that things can change very fast in cricket

 

[Devadwal]

Is Jaiswal practicing for IPL?

Showing the another tulla Constas how to play proper cricket with attacking mindset .

Four boundries in the first over

 

[asarkar]

What a disappointing display from Rohit—it completely exposes the facade of the selfless, team-oriented image he was hiding behind. With the series on the line and his players fighting it out on the field, he’s focused on his personal position and retirement plans. It’s disheartening and unworthy of the respect he earned through his white-ball performances.

[kingusama92]

Jaiswal taking Starc apart.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Is Jaiswal practicing for IPL?

Playing defensive will get him out anyways. He is taking the attack route.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Four authoritative fours by Jaiswal

 

[sweep_shot]

Doesn't seem like Bumrah will bowl. Even if he does, I don't think he will be the same.

I think Aussies can chase down 220-240 comfortably.

 

[Varun]

Yashasvi Sehwag

 

[pillionrider]

Some Pak and Bangladeshi posters are silent because they know their players haven't even dreamt of batting like this in Australia

 

[mango_bite77]

Repeat of 1st test.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Minimum of 300 is needed for India or they are toast.

 

[Buffet]

Needs to get Jais quickly out otherwise lead will baloon.

 

[Devadwal]

Rahul please don't throw the wicket like always

 

[sweep_shot]

Some Pak and Bangladeshi posters are silent because they've never seen their players even dream of batting like this in Australia

Actually, other nationalities don't think like you guys (blind and obnoxious nationalism).

I don't watch cricket for BD only. I even follow Afghanistan-Zimbabwe game.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Needs to get Jais quickly out otherwise lead will baloon.

India only playing with 9 players.

Bumrah will not bat and Kohli might as well bat with a stick. At least he will not edge it to the slips.

Yeah for all the hype, Konstas got outshone by a weird-looking debutant from his side.

 

[jattafridi]

Congrats India

2-2 Australia

 

[sweep_shot]

Repeat of 1st test.

Hopefully not.

Want to see a 3-1 Aussie victory.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Congrats India

2-2 Australia

Don't waste your energy in jinxign We will put up a fight and lose

Jaiswal giving treatment to starc

No. You watch Indian cricket more than you do your own team.

You are that sad because those little joys you find occasionally, define your life

 

[Devadwal]

Jaiswal giving treatment to starc

Shant bhai. Thooo thooo

 

[sweep_shot]

1st over: 16 runs.

Next 10 balls: 0 run.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was a peach from Starc.

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan / Bangladeshi fans ki kali najron se bachaye indian team ko

 

[Mockingbird]

Yeah you have no choice but to do that considering your team’s performance against most teams.

 

[pillionrider]

1st over: 16 runs.

Next 10 balls: 0 run.

Are you looking for a job as a scorer?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Awkward bounce is still there. Thankless job to bat here

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good crowd in today.

 

[Devadwal]

Awkward bounce is still there. Thankless job to bat here

Heavy Roller effect is still there but can become dangerous after few hour's.

 

[sweep_shot]

Did Jaiswal run out of gas?

 

[Devadwal]

Cummins to test jaiswal with Short pitch bowling.

Jaiswal bhai aram se

Pakistan / Bangladeshi fans ki kali najron se bachaye indian team ko

What is 'Najro' bro ?

 

[Devadwal]

Jaiswal please don't Play such rash shots please

 

[Devadwal]

What is 'Najro' bro ?

Najar = najro means jinxing ,bad intentions etc.

 

[Hitman]

What is 'Najro' bro ?

Bad omen.

 

[mango_bite77]

Najar = najro means jinxing ,bad intentions etc.

Lol, it's Nazar not Najar

 

[Croma]

22 runs without a wicket, Indians have started positively.

 

[Devadwal]

Lol, it's Nazar not Najar

Different styles for every one .

But you got it na that's matter .

 

[Champ_Pal]

What is 'Najro' bro ?

Evil Eye

 

[mango_bite77]

Different styles for every one .

But you got it na that's matter .

Yes I think it is mix of Hindi and Urdu. Most India pronounce Z with J.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

May not sit well with my fellow Indian fans but Saim Ayub is more naturally gifted than Jaissu.

 

[mango_bite77]

Anything over 200 will curtains for Australia. They batted poorly in 1st innings

 

[Nikhil_cric]

India needs 400 to ensure a win. But I don't see us making that many . Not even close.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Anything over 200 will curtains for Australia. They batted poorly in 1st innings

Poorly? India earned every wicket unlike India gifted.

 

[Devadwal]

We take those extra. 4 wides

33/0 (5)

Good positive start .

 

[kingusama92]

Time to take Starc off.

Leaking way too many runs.

 

[Buffet]

Get Boland bowling.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think break is not long enough for Australian bowlers

 

[sweep_shot]

Boland is in the attack.

 

[Devadwal]

Boland the chief destroyer here comes to Bowl.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India's nemesis on !!

 

[Champ_Pal]

Boland's spell determines the fate of this match. He is the real deal on these Aus pitches.

 

[BouncerGuy]
