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

[RedwoodOriginal]

Yea. i mean Gill should have never been dropped. He is the 2nd highest run getter for India in 2024 that too for Rohit.

I agree. Despite his patchy record, Gill needs to be backed. Rohit coming back has been catastrophic for India. No runs, unsettled the batting order, captaincy wasn't great either, and now he is sitting out. What was even the point?

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Missing hitman with his chubby face miscuing those half pulls.

An ATG shouldn't need to

 

[gazza619]

Seeing him make me feel unhealthy and unwell. He is unfit, doesn't come cleanly shaven . I see a lazy middle aged uncle in him. He should quit from all formats

He looked far worse in this series. Clearly is not disciplined. You don’t respect the game, the game won’t respect you.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Vaughan summed up nicely here. Leaving the ball for 50 balls is not enough. You have to continue doing it for 100 balls, 150 balls. That is where you show your resolve. Kohli doesn't have that patience

 

[SpiritOf1903]

India will score 450+ and leave Australia with a mammoth chase. This game's done

 

[jnaveen1980]

I agree. Despite his patchy record, Gill needs to be backed. Rohit coming back has been catastrophic for India. No runs, unsettled the batting order, captaincy wasn't great either, and now he is sitting out. What was even the point?

yes. He messed up Rahul's form as well by sending him to no.3

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow. This guy has played 93 first class games! And 31 yeas old. Late bloomer?

 

[jnaveen1980]

First international ball noball lol

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

How tall is Webster's Dictionary? 6'5? 6'6? Pretty tall guy...

 

[jnaveen1980]

SO far looks like a rank trundler. I would be livid if they get out to this guy lol Marsh looks much better.

 

[jnaveen1980]

How the hell a tank like him bowl at this speed

 

[YousafTheBeast]

This is getting boring now, need a shoulder barge or head butt to keep me awake

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lazy Gill is not watching the ball. WHy is he falling over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball is coming very slow. Gill is not adjusting.

 

[kron]

How the hell a tank like him bowl at this speed

he is not a tank lmao. he is just tall.
marsh was more of a tank.
and being muscle bound doesnt make you fast either. you need fast twitch fibres.

 

[jnaveen1980]

AN inform batsman won't miss out so many bad balls. That was a terrible ball. Kohli completely missed scoring a 4.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Strange, I’m watching live too plus Indians on X are saying Ponting said it was out.

Anyways, I’ll leave it here

He said per rules of the game I can see why that was not out.

I will leave it at that.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli missed 2 fours

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wish Kuldeep had been fit. He would have been more than handy at the SCG.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Kinda feel sorry for Kohli, we can finally compare him to Ahmed Shahzad

 

[gazza619]

No wicket fall in last ten overs, wats haPpenning

 

[jnaveen1980]

HOw long before Kohli edges on to slips? Anyone?

I give him under 5 overs

 

[jattafridi]

Both will score century

Player of the match Kohli

 

[jnaveen1980]

It says Webster got 6 for 15 against India A

 

[Vikram1989]

Tbh don't think any Asian fielder in the history of cricket is capable of what Smith did there!

Ekmath solkar was very famous his fielding at short leg . He has the highest catches per match avg (1.97).

 

[Devadwal]

India will score 450+ and leave Australia with a mammoth chase. This game's done

Reverse jinxing

 

[Buffet]

Get one more before lunch.

 

[kron]

so we have a dictionary man bowling now
cummins the school teacher
starc the rusty carpenter
boland the dock boy criminal

 

[jnaveen1980]

Famous waft from Gill.

 

[followed]

Virat is looking good here. Get that hundred

 

[Devadwal]

Get one more before lunch.

Only Indians (minus Rohit fan base) supporting india and rest of the world supporting Aussie.

They didn't want india to retain the BGT Record times.

 

[ethan hunt]

Starc is so random with his test bowling. Bowls like he was brought up on Pakistani Pattas. Changes length and line so often.

 

[gazza619]

Only Indians (minus Rohit fan base) supporting india and rest of the world supporting Aussie.

They didn't want india to retain the BGT Record times.

Hmm i wonder why rest of world dont want India to win

Is it jealousy?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Both these guys struggle against Lyon. SOmething is going to happen

 

[Buffet]

Only Indians (minus Rohit fan base) supporting india and rest of the world supporting Aussie.

Why not? Different teams winning is interesting.

 

[followed]

So Virat kohli averages 81 against Nathan lyon.
He has handled him well

 

[Devadwal]

Hmm i wonder why rest of world dont want India to win

Is it jealousy?

Ofcourse its Jealously. If you don't know that what i can say.

When india play World T20 final last year, whole world was upporting saffer but that's understandable because they haven't won any ICC TOURNAMENTS.

 

[ethan hunt]

Lol Brandon Julian made fun of the indian pitches and now trying damage control.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli's weak point coming up. Close to lunch. He will do something silly now.

 

[Buffet]

Indians are just looking to survive.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli is unusually patient.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indians are just looking to survive.

I think Gambhir probably instructed them to survive 40 overs? I am sure there must ahve been some strategy.

 

[Devadwal]

Indians are just looking to survive.

Luch is in few minutes away.

 

[Devadwal]

Damn lost of concentration. Gone

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pathetic shot by Gill. What was he doing there?

 

[kingusama92]

This is why Gill isn't taking the next step.

What a bizarre decision before lunch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Story of GIll's career.

 

[kron]

shub singh gill model goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
lyon does the job
what a wicket.
goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
We've golden soil and wealth for toil
Our home is girt by sea
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty, rich and rare
In history's page let every stage
Advance Australia fair
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We'll toil with hearts and hands
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands
For those who've across the seas
We've boundless plains to share
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair

i bet mominsaigol doesnt know the lyrics.

i do

 

[Devadwal]

Pathetic shot by Gill. What was he doing there?

Just thinking about what's the lunch menu

 

[ethan hunt]

Gill wont succeed at test level. Hard hands and open face.

 

[Buffet]

I think Gambhir probably instructed them to survive 40 overs? I am sure there must ahve been some strategy.

I think you got to score on poor balls.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Just thinking about what the lunch menu

This has become a pattern for INdia. losing wicket in crunch moments. Lunch time, Close of day.

 

[Buffet]

Aus firmly in control here.

 

[followed]

Lol feminine gill. Get the hell out.
Pathetic overhyped overrated loser.

 

[ethan hunt]

Saw him at the Asia cup and he batted like a tailender. Thought he hadnt developed since those U19 days.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India must get rid of these "stroke players". Kick them all out. Bring in tuk tuk players. You don't need a shot there at all. They showed disicipline for 40 balls That is nothing. You have to show patience for 100 balls.

 

[kron]

Gill wont succeed at test level. Hard hands and open face.

hands down ass up

 

[Champ_Pal]

Gill wont succeed at test level. Hard hands and open face.

It only that. He does not move his feet much. Falls over when the ball is coming in. Always a lbw candidate.

Gill’s batting will work on flat wickets. When the ball is moving a bit. He is a walking wicket.

 

[kron]

Lol feminine gill. Get the hell out.
Pathetic overhyped overrated loser.

well said. apparently he is a model lmao. looks like a girl. little pipsqueak.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not even tailender would get out to this ball. He just tossed outside the leg stump..

 

[90MPH]

Gill has lots of natural talent but bad game planning.

Threw it away by trying to be too clever.

 

[gazza619]

Innings defeat loading.

 

[Devadwal]

We are likely to be all out around 150.

 

[jnaveen1980]

INdia needs to bring in patient players. Enough of these flashy stroke players

 

[kron]

atleast did better than sharma though i guess.
our batting is really bad
we need fresh faces.

 

[kron]

but he is batman???

 

[Aman]

Third umpire saving Kohli's Test career.

 

[Devadwal]

Not even tailender would get out to this ball. He just tossed outside the leg stump..

He easily could have leave that ball or just play a the backfoot with soft hands.

 

[kron]

i am rooting for aus to smash kohli. kill him
with bouncers.

 

[ethan hunt]

Australian wickets have been tough this year. Test wickets in general are tough these days. Not a great time to be a test batsman.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He easily could have leave that ball or just play a the backfoot with soft hands.

He is so scared of getting lbw. So he makes all these bad feet movement. This is like Shreyas Iyer fear against short ball.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Day in Day out collapse. No matter good bowling, bad bowling, average bowling. They just collapse out of nowhere.

 

[Devadwal]

Australian wickets have been tough this year. Test wickets in general are tough these days. Not a great time to be a test batsman.

Australian wickets are generally good for batting if batters play well .just need to negotiate the new ball and enough runs are there .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australian wickets are generally good for batting if batters play well .just need to negotiate the new ball and enough runs are there .

Very poor judgement, technique as well.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Strange, I’m watching live too plus Indians on X are saying Ponting said it was out.

Anyways, I’ll leave it here

I am watching the lunch program with Ponting and he is now saying it is OuT.

Even though during live commentary he said I can understand why this can be considered not out.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Indians missed a huge trick not dropping Rahul and not picking Jurel. You know Rahul will only get you a 10-15 runs per innings after he scores heavily on the first test.

 

[Devadwal]

Forget about rest of the world ,50% Indian fans ( Rohit and dhoni fan base + Kohli critics) wants him to failed even india will lose this test

Sick mentality

 

[jnaveen1980]

50 balls is too much for Kohli. He will get out soon now. He is getting impatient

 

[Champ_Pal]

According to commentators Days 2 & 3 are best for batting. India will be all out today.

Expect Ausbto bat for 2 days and score close to 500.

So India’s answer for poor support for Bumrah is Prasidh? Might as well select Jhulan Goswami as the 3rd bowler. She can bat too a bit. Prasidh does not even know how to hold a bat.

As posters are saying, an innings defeat is looming. Poor players. Block block block for 5 overs and then play a rash shot by stepping out.

Gill deserves to be kicked out for that pathetic batting.

raol is chutad that escapes somehow
kohli too. i think he bankrolled gambo
siraj needs to go too
