Australia (191 & 93/2) demolish India (244 & 36/9) by 8 wickets to win the 1st Test

[sweep_shot]

Day 3 discussion.

 

[tyron_woodley]

India need 200 imo. Indian bowling is top quality but batting is my only concern.

If we get some runs on board we should win.

200 plus the lead of 53 should do.

I hope Shaw fans do not spam this amazing thread.

I hope Shaw fans do not spam this amazing thread.

You mean Sehwag, Tendulkar Lara fans?

 

[Revolution]

This fantastic test series deserve best commentators.

Sony liv commentators are awful. These ex players are worst.

 

[therealAB]

You mean Sehwag, Tendulkar Lara fans?

I reckon we need to add Chris Martin to that trio

 

[wrongun]

This fantastic test series deserve best commentators.

Sony liv commentators are awful. These ex players are worst.

Who is on Sony Live?

Fox has Warne- talks all the time, usually gibberish & never holds a consistent position on any topic from one week to the next. He's like the opposite of Richie Benaud.

Howard- some nobody just there to agree with Warne & Gilly

Gilly- ok but lost respect for him when he let Warne spend an entire stint belittling the umpire, deathriding his decisions & calling him "wrong" even when technology supported the decision. Gilly never saud a word against it.

Isla Guha- I actually like her commentary in England series where the more thoughtful style allows her room to express things- but she seems a bit bemused by the boofhead nature of these commentators and unsure how to get her style in.

Mark Waugh- decent commentator.

Kerry O'Keefe- pretty funny guy. Actually also does more research & watches more domestic cricket, talks to more players than any other Australian commentator. By FAR the sharpest analyst when he offers a serious opinion.

Hussey- dull.

Harsha Bogle- very good. Need a serious & thoughtful character to balance the "matiest mate that ever mated" boofheadedness of Warne, Hussy, Waugh, Warne (twice because he never shuts up), "Howie".

 

[Mesozoic]

^^^^

I've really missed channel 9's commentary team on our last two tours.

Healy, Taylor, Nicholas, Ian Chappel, Slater....... no-one even comes close to them. :--(

 

[sindhiboy]

That was paines best innings ever. A very classy knock, he deserved a 100. Would never have imagined paine would be the best batsman in the aussie innings

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

This fantastic test series deserve best commentators.

Sony liv commentators are awful. These ex players are worst.

Yes. Is it just me or anyone else think Harsha Bhogle has passed his sell by date and should retire / commentate only on IPL? Dude was novelty in the 90's but his weird descriptions and staccato commentary has begun to grate a lot

 

[Devadwal]

Bumrah gone

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies need to get quick wickets here to get back in the game , a lead of 250 will be enough for Indians here in fourth innings.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Pujara gone for duck , big big wicket here !

 

[therealAB]

Cummins is a champion, champion bowler

 

[MMHS]

This one body blow - if Kohli doesn’t stand, India might not give a target larger than first innings ..... of Aussies.

 

[MMHS]

Cummins is a champion, champion bowler

Remember, he was a waste of money for KKR...

 

[MP2011]

Needles to say we are in dire straits.

 

[Justcrazy]

15 . 3

in walks the master

 

[Last Monetarist]

This one body blow - if Kohli doesn’t stand, India might not give a target larger than first innings ..... of Aussies.

Reckon 200 should be enough. It's not an easy pitch by any means.

 

[El Generico]

If India can even get 150, it could be a close game.

 

[MP2011]

Poor test for Pujara. Expected more out of him.

 

[Justcrazy]

Needles to say we are in dire straits.

No , a couple of partnerships are bound to happen, chasing will not be easy here , with Kohli and Rahane still there , India is still very much in the game.

 

[wrongun]

Cummins masterclass of fast bowling this morning.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Hazelwood strikes first ball !

 

[MP2011]

Mayank gone as well.

 

[Hyperion66]

We are in deep deep trouble.

 

[BDfanforever]

Pink ball socks, very difficult to play.

 

[volcyz]

India doomed

 

[Junaids]

This is like the 2006-7 Adelaide Test, in which England collapsed in the third innings and Australia won.

 

[MP2011]

Our batting even in overseas tests has never been this bad.

 

[OffDrive]

LOL at these Indians, think they are world class but yet we are going to smash them.

What a disgraceful team, can't field, cant 'bat.

 

[andy0204]

150 lead is enough.

 

[wrongun]

Should move all the field back 5m... dare these two to run a few singles

 

[Justcrazy]

Best Indian pair at the crease now , This is the key for both teams now.

 

[OffDrive]

lol iNDIA 5/15 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

What a disgraceful team.

 

[andy0204]

Another one bites the dust

 

[MP2011]

Now Rahane gone for duck.

 

[sindhiboy]

This is utter annihilation

 

[MMHS]

Reckon 200 should be enough. It's not an easy pitch by any means.

I think, India will need 244 here - Aussies won’t make same mistake second time; they’ll attack Indian bowling and win loss, it’ll be inside 70 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Rahane perishes, India 68 runs lead with 5 down.

 

[Hyperion66]

What the shitz man, can we go past 50?

 

[sindhiboy]

2 runs and 4 wickets. Hazlewood and Cummins look unplayable

 

[wrongun]

3rd day pitch... bright sunshine... just quality bowling & perhaps some poor selections by India with the lineup.

 

[angrypathan]

How good

 

[Belawal2014]

india woke up as Pakistan today.

 

[OffDrive]

India have lost 4/6 in 30 minutes lol at this so called no 3 Test team.

 

[MMHS]

OK guys, lowest Test score is 26, lowest for India is 43 (?); lowest fir India against Australia is 63 (?)......

 

[volcyz]

India getting a absolute pasting

Embarrassing batting

 

[BDfanforever]

Kholi will smash a 100 and dedicate to his son or daughter.

 

[Junaids]

Really, I blame Yadav and Shami for bowling too short yesterday.

 

[Justcrazy]

What the shitz man, can we go past 50?

India leading by 68 runs here

 

[Last Monetarist]

It's embarrassing for India that Rahane is next in line to be test captain. He possesses about as much mental fortitude as Asad Shafiq.

 

[MMHS]

OK guys, lowest Test score is 26, lowest for India is 43 (?); lowest fir India against Australia is 63 (?)......

All these records would have been in danger had this stupid guy Paine declared yesterday.... 15 minutes before Tea.

 

[MP2011]

Now our pathetic bowling against nobodies like Paine will haunt us forever.

 

[Justcrazy]

OK guys, lowest Test score is 26, lowest for India is 43 (?); lowest fir India against Australia is 63 (?)......

A couple of partnerships will happen here , Saha and Ashwin will get some runs and support Kohli.

 

[angrypathan]

KOHLI IS GONE. I REPEAT, KOHLI IS GONE. Cummins you beauty.

 

[Hyperion66]

India leading by 68 runs here

I know, I am talking about this innings score.

 

[BDfanforever]

What am I seeing?

 

[MP2011]

6/19, Kohli gone.

 

[OffDrive]

India 6/19 LOL

 

[wrongun]

This is a severe beating.

 

[El Generico]

The lowest ever test score is 42 isn’t it? Can India cross it?

 

[King_Kohli]

This is humiliation

 

[OffDrive]

This is a pounding of, which the Indians thoroughly deserve.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Cummins gets the biggest one , King Kohli !

 

[aloo paratha]

I thought India had this in the bag.

 

[OffDrive]

lol the so called number 3 in the world LOL

 

[Justcrazy]

The lowest ever test score is 42 isn’t it? Can India cross it?

Yes, If Vihari survives

 

[MP2011]

We deserve every bit of this humiliation. Our batting has gone down several notches during past few years.

 

[MMHS]

What am I seeing?

You are watching Test match and what happens to modern batting greats when the track is doing a little more than the fun of hitting through the line. This morning, I explained to another BD poster - why DK Lille’s average is worse than McGrtah ..... he bowled to batsmen who knew to survive on difficult tracks, made it really difficult for bowlers to get wickets.

 

[volcyz]

Need India to be all out below 30 lol

 

[Belawal2014]

Yikes, even as a Pakistani supporter, I feel bad for India...

 

[praveen]

Shocking batting collapse. I am in disbelief

 

[OffDrive]

What a disgrace, lets see the Indians beating their chest and saying how great they are.

 

[Ahmed216]

What a pathetic batting unit. Absolutely pathetic. Had Paine reviewed when Kohli was on 15 in 1st Innings they wouldnt have scored more than 120.

 

[El Generico]

Cmon India, just thirty more runs to avoid the lowest ever score. Just avoiding that would be a moral victory for India that would shake Australia .

 

[sindhiboy]

I feel sorry for anyone just tuning in

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I can't take this man.

This is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much pain.

The bowlers should not bowl in the next innings as a mark of protest.

What the hell man.

 

[Rohan]

What a disgrace, lets see the Indians beating their chest and saying how great they are.

Have fun, you were no where to be seen when AUS was batting.

 

[Belawal2014]

Worst possible start for India. This is even worse than a Pakistani-style collapse.
