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

[Varun]

Sarfaraz is another walking wickets . Jurel is better technical player than Sarfraz .

Sarfraz did well in the chances he got. Why was he dropped? Even in the NZ series he got a 100.

 

[Buffet]

Boland you did it again.... Almost unplayable ball.

 

[Champ_Pal]

This guy is something else.

Giving those Mohammad Asif vibes.

He is pacier than Asif. Giving less time to adjust.

 

[pillionrider]

Kohli comes in with the purpose of sightseeing.

If he can survive Boland somehow, he can stay for another year in tests

 

[Champ_Pal]

One of the best ball of the series

135k leg break. Too good for Jaiswal.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Champions bowler this boland guy is

 

[JaDed]

Two Panjabis one who isn’t able to move on another who isn’t able to set his feet in argh!

 

[asarkar]

what a bowler Boland is! Can’t do much.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This reminds me of AKram's ball to Dravid at chennai. Jaiswal covered as much as he could. Still not good enough.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Two Panjabis one who isn’t able to move on another who isn’t able to set his feet in argh!

The way Boland is bowling, these 2 might start doing Bhanra on the pitch.

The Bangladeshi umpire pulling never-seen-before tricks @Rajdeep

In a test series between Ind and Aus, this notorious BD umpire stole the show

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rahul wicket ball was not unplayable and easily could have defended but rahul chose to play the shots.

Absolutely nothing out batters can do against Boland with the new ball.

 

[JaDed]

Boland at even 35 is remarkable but who are the replacements for Starc and Boland Hazelwood they all are 33 and above @mominsaigol

 

[pillionrider]

In a test series between Ind and Aus, this notorious BD umpire stole the show

Just like their posters. More active during an India game than a BD one.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli is notorious at getting out at close of play. He has become a master. I am 101% sure he will get out

 

[kingusama92]

He is pacier than Asif. Giving less time to adjust.

Truly is remarkable.

It's a total masterclass on seam bowling.

 

[Varun]

Still, we have found Jaiswal this tour.

A left handed test class opener. #Smith #Cook

 

[JaDed]

Just like their posters. More active during an India game than a BD one.

They have one decent poster who gets caught between the crossfire and starts exploding at random Indian posters logically. @Dhakar Pola

Miss @Ashraful_Rox he was a sarcastic Bangla boy

 

[JaDed]

Still, we have found Jaiswal this tour.

A left handed test class opener. #Smith #Cook

Exactly, the pitches were tough and bowling attack good, and the kid is up for a fight ,needs to get his catching in order though.

 

[Champ_Pal]

At least Indians are looking for singles. Not mentally broken and forgetting how to run.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nobody wants to face Boland lol I think they should try to attack him rather. I don't see either Gill or Kohli surviving agianst Boland by defending.

 

[pillionrider]

If Virat can navigate Boland now, he should seriously be given a pass for a year. PR machinery or not.

 

[Varun]

If Virat can navigate Boland now, he should seriously be given a pass for a year. PR machinery or not.

No way.

Either way it should be the last innings of this test career. He hasn't done enough to make it on the plane to England next summer.

 

[pillionrider]

Wow wow wow

 

[jnaveen1980]

Alright guys.. How many balls before edging one to slips? Any guess?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Kohli should switch to ODI mode. He is better when he is attacking.

If Kohli is defending, he will nick it to the slips.

 

[kingusama92]

Maybe this is when Kohli silences the critics?

 

[pillionrider]

Mark Nicholas is 100% employed by Virat's PR team.

 

[sweep_shot]

Boland should be the man of the series.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Virat can navigate Boland now, he should seriously be given a pass for a year. PR machinery or not.

He can literally get out to anyone that is bowling outside the off stump.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Maybe this is when Kohli silences the critics?

5 years too late

 

[kingusama92]

It's good that India is attacking. Just score runs cause eventually you're going to get a good one like Jaiswal did.

 

[pillionrider]

No way.

Either way it should be the last innings of this test career. He hasn't done enough to make it on the plane to England next summer.

Yeah, personally I don't think he can work out something at this stage of his career to tackle English conditions. There is a slim chance he might. He is insane sometimes.

But mostly, I'm just excited now

 

[Champ_Pal]

Maybe this is when Kohli silences the critics?

About time.

Since 2019, Kohli has been silencing his fans

 

[jnaveen1980]

It's good that India is attacking. Just score runs cause eventually you're going to get a good one like Jaiswal did.

Nobody other than Jaiswal, bit of Rahul have any form. THey better throw kitchen sink and make some runs

 

[Varun]

Also gotta laugh at Australia. They've had half a dozen opportunities to close this series out but they usually hand over the advantage straight back to us.

New Zealand >>> Australia

 

[jnaveen1980]

THis pitch is unplayable lol You just have to laugh and move on

 

[BouncerGuy]

Catch in the slips coming???

 

[pillionrider]

Langer calling that Gill backfoot drive Laxman-esque. But to me, that's carbon-Sehwag. Even the way Gill jogs sometimes to the non-strikers looks like Sehwag.

 

[JaDed]

Maybe this is when Kohli silences the critics?

He is not silencing anyone with his Edgy scores

 

[jnaveen1980]

WOrst time to lose shami. In the two previous two tours there was not much seam movement like this. IN this series seam rules.

 

[Varun]

Maybe this is when Kohli silences the critics?

He'll nick one in under 5 overs from now.

 

[Croma]

Kohli should get a slightly wider bat

 

[Buffet]

Very strange surface for SCG here.

 

[JaDed]

Kohli should switch to ODI mode. He is better when he is attacking.

If Kohli is defending, he will nick it to the slips.

Even that Kohli is dead

 

[jnaveen1980]

 

[Varun]

He'll nick one in under 5 overs from now.

Boom

 

[Champ_Pal]

Once again Kohli silences his fans.

 

[JaDed]

Very strange surface for SCG here.

Better than what we expected, guess the curators didn’t expect us to lose last one.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Retire and get out man. You are useless.

 

[kingusama92]

Come on Kohli.

How the heck does he keep doing the same thing? I would drop him just for this stupidity.

 

[Devadwal]

Kohli chale England .

 

[Buffet]

Done... Match should be won here now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Boalnd even said after first innings how they plan his dismissal

 

[JaDed]

Kohli Bhai Bye Bye deserves to be dropped completely.

He is the govn employee who just wants to do 2 more years so he gets his pension.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Kohli should get a slightly wider bat

He needs to bat with a Chapathi roller pin. No edges on that

 

[Devadwal]

Send Washington now .

 

[Varun]

OMG it's Pant.

 

[Seen Sheen]

150 would be an extremely good target, with or without Bumrah. I don't see this pitch easing up.

 

[Varun]

Pant will either make 110 or 12. Nothing in the middle.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He needs to bat with a Chapathi roller pin. No edges on that

Or hold the bat in reverse

 

[Devadwal]

Why it

OMG it's Pant.

Why surprised ?

 

[Savak]

This is inexcusable and unacceptable, you cannot be such a highly ranked, rated player and be getting out predictably in the slips match after match. The Indian selectors needs to drop him and ask him to earn his place back by scoring runs in domestic cricket.

 

[Varun]

666

 

[Hitman]

Pant has no cricketing sense. First ball, dances down the ground for a SIX

 

[kingusama92]

Rishabh Afridi has entered the ground.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pant will either make 110 or 12. Nothing in the middle.

More chances of 12.

He already scored 6 of them

 

[Buffet]

150 would be an extremely good target, with or without Bumrah. I don't see this pitch easing up.

I will take 150 target. It will be chased. Just need one batsmen to slog a bit.

 

[JaDed]

150 would be an extremely good target, with or without Bumrah. I don't see this pitch easing up.

SCG has been a weird pitch imagine if it rains and flattens out lol

 

[Hitman]

Pant has no cricketing sense. First ball, dances down the ground for a SIX

Now tries a reverse sweep

 

[Devadwal]

Pant??

 

[JaDed]

Pant to Gavaskar: I’ll keep having brain fades Gramps(GenZ voice), starts off with a six

 

[Champ_Pal]

Now tries a reverse sweep

Pant had tea break with Konstas?

 

[kingusama92]

The guy looks like he got inspired by Konstas.

 

[Varun]

That stupid dinky reverse scoop has lost its novelty. Put it away.

 

[Ahmed216]

The surface has only got quicker since yesterday.

There's no need to send in Kohli ...just play the replay of his edge to second slip on the big screen and move on with the game

 

[jnaveen1980]

The guy looks like he got inspired by Konstas.

Bumrah batted the best against Boland lol

 

[JaDed]

Boland to get a 10fer?

 

[mango_bite77]

Why is India in Hurry ? Did they forget it is a test match. This stupidity can have them all out under 150

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think they must attack BOland
