Cummins to Pant, no run, angles across, the ball skids through and Pant leaves it. The keeper did appeal as the batter bailed out late. Snicko says there was an edge on it. Pant has survived here. Carey did appeal but they didn't consider reviewing it. But was it the sound of the bat? The replays show the bat was a little away from the ball when the snicko showed the murmur. Snicko will continue being the talk of the town( Cricbuzz)

Lol there was clear gap between bat and ball.

:kp
lol according to your analysis isnt that out whatever Snico says?
 
Brutal delivery. Pant is injured.
But he isn't weak like Bangladesh toygers though or pakistani weaklings.
He is a tough guy but post injury his reflexes seems to have gone. One more series before we dump him I would say. If he doesn't perform that is
 
No. Did not had to play. From the length it was clear that the ball will bounce at least 2 feet above the stumps. Kohli was in no danger of getting out. But he is too arrogant.
I don't expect Kohli in this form to make such excellent leaves on length. He throws his bat at much wider balls.

I think you're being extremely critical here. Off the hand it looked like a ball angled towards his body
 
Scott boland is way better than cummins

And he is only 134 to 136 pace

Accurate seamer. Moves the ball. Seams the ball.

Adjusts lengths at will. Stuart Clark.

Cummins is an ATG.

Boland is like a bench player. But, he is very good.
 
I would like to see how the pitch behaves as the game goes on. That bounce was unusually dangerous.
 
This is surely the end of India's WTC aspirations. Cant expect Bumrah to bail them out all the time.
 
Pitch does have some unpredictable behavior. But these guys are strong into the pitch bowlers unlike Siraj who is a floater.

I think it practically ended after India lost 0-3 to the Kiwis.

Losing this Test would officially knock India out of WTC.
 
pant reflex is gone. old times where batsmen can be short midgets is over now. you have to be truly elite like srt to survive.

this under 5'8 midgets wont last long

unless again they are truly special

pant was special but now reflex seems to be waning. he is still tough though.

WTC hope were disappeared when we lost the home series against NZ 3-0 .

This is just formality and we will officially out after this match .

More than the reflex he is staying outside the crease. He still has enough time to play shot. Ball came back and came at good height.
 
i am loving the brutality.
bumrah prasidh can do the same. if only shami was there. convicts would have been wiped.
 
The Pakistan-Australia series down under was far more competitive than this one-sided India-Australia series since the second Test.

Despite a struggling batting lineup, Pakistan’s so-called “trundlers” like Khurram Shahzad, Mir Hamza, and Amir Jamal, operating in the 125-140 kph range, managed to trouble Australia effectively. That Australian team featured the likes of Warner, Hazlewood, and an in-form Marsh.

In contrast, this Indian team appears weak, lacking both pace and control. It’s essentially Bumrah or bust for them. They should thank Reddy for a fluke series and Jaiswal for riding a purple patch. Without more depth and balance, India’s struggles are likely to continue.
 
Struggle for evey run.if picth stays like this throughout the match, should be a good contest
 
Haha look at them deliberately batting slow, as if that is going to make a difference.

Yea.. graceful whitewash if there is one lol

Pakistan was continued the traditions of the losing every test in australia since 1995.

But but Pakistan performed well sir.

:kp
 
Must say this is a very difficult pitch. At least for now. Ball is taking off of good length like crazy.

Hope the conditions stay the same when Aus come to bat.

i am critical. I expect someone if his caliber to adjust. If he playing every delivery and unable to judge the length and bounce like a tailender, he should not be in the team.

I like that Rohit is out of the team. But Kohli is still riding his luck. Both of them should be no where near the test team.
 
By Just blocking out everything they are not gonna achieve anything ! they should stay positive and look to score .

India's limit has been 50 overs. I think ball has to be older. Don't expect Reddy, Sundar to produce another big partnership. We could get bowled out under 100

They are not even looking for singles. Just block block and block. They are letting the bowlers dictate the terms.

Conditions are tough no doubt. But the negative Nancy batting is making it even worse.

After effect of last match. This is what he should have done at the MCG lol
 
You won a test match on the back of the genuis of Bumrah. But after that, it’s been a boring and sorry viewing.
You do realize Austrlai was only 190 ahead when Jaiswal dropped Labu right? India could have been 2-1 worst case 1-1. It is Austrlaia that got lucky at the MCG.
 
They're doing a good job of surviving but need to score. Eventually a good delivery will come if they just keep doing this.
 
Both the idiot's played rubbish shots in the 2nd inning of the MCG test where we needed to bat like this. LAMO

:kp
 
Dude. You seriously have sense of humor to compare your whitewash with a side with so many players on their last legs and still playing a live Test match. They can still potentially draw the series.
I’m not here to analyze “early, mature, or last legs.” I’m just a casual fan who loves watching competitive cricket for entertainment.

A closely contested whitewash? That’s still fun. But this? This is one-sided humiliation—the kind of drubbing we thought was reserved for Pakistan tours.

And to top it off, the humiliation builds up courtesy of Gambhir, the Indian saffron mouthpiece. He’s managed to replicate a Pakistan-style Down Under disaster with questionable coaching and his appalling treatment of globally loved players like Ashwin and Rohit. Bravo!
 
Ball will lose seam movement shortly. Hope they take calculated risks against webster. THat guy looks proper trundler. But he bowls straight wicket to wicket. Sometimes they can be tricky

We drop 3 catches a day. It’s irrelevant. It was interesting passage of play maybe for few hours, but shortly became boring again.

Also, what about the game India escaped because of qudrat ka nizaam rain.

If it weren’t for Bumrah and lucky rain, this was one sided whitewash

Disagree. India were saved by rain at Gabba. At MCG with current Indian batting form anything close to 250 was going to be extremely difficult to chase.
India are lucky they're still in the series.
 
Jadeja leaving fast short outside off balls which are there to be cut.

Then will get out with a straight one later.

One-sided humilation is what Pakistan has been getting for 20 plus years dude. INdia has won last 2. We didn't expect to beat Australia in Australia three times in a row with washed up oldies. Fact is Australia was lucky to win the last test thanks to one stupid shot. If India wins this one it will be draw. Australia couldn't even close the series yet after 4 tests. Against Pakistan they won the series in just 2 tests.
 
They've got India by scruff of the neck so far. Pant hoping for bowlers to tire a bit and ball to get old
