What's new

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

Damn almost feels like India could have made a game out of this if Umesh was not bowling..
 
Kohli had to go for quick boundaries because he knew the remaining players were not going to survive. Unfortunately for him and his team, it didn’t work out.

India can take a lot of positives from this match. They played incredible cricket throughout the match but one horror hour cost them the match, but this is Test cricket.

It will be very, very hard for them to get back into this without the brilliant leadership and batting of Kohli.

Positives?? Indian players and fans must forget this test match ever happened or its going to haunt them for long time. This was nightmarish
 
Indians have had access to the best facilities, they have had so much exposure to Australian pitches and conditions in Australia since 2007 compared to Pakistan and Pakistan inspite of not having the same kind of advantages, batting qualities have never been bowled out for 36 in Australia.

Indians ko Sharam se doob ke, choloon main paani bhar ke mar jaana chahiye

Agreed, no excuses, Indians have access to the best and they just dont live upto what is expected of them in a basic way on a lot of occasions.
 
This series has 4-0 written all over.

Have to chase this smoothly today. Then it would show that the Indian batsmen messed it up. If India push Australia in this chase, it will be a lot closer than many think
 
He is hurt that is why keeps mentioning rankings.It is nothing to do with rankings.It is to do with the history of Pakistan and India and the enmity between the two countries.Indians also rejoice when Pakistan plays poorly.
 
I just feel sorry for Pakistani fans who become parai shaadi me Abdullah deewana whenever another team beats India even though Pakistan is vastly inferior to both teams.

Sad times. However, this is what happens when your team declines to the point where you have to find joy in the success of other teams.

Isn't it also a parai shadi for you?
Or you are the only one here who can comment non pakistani matches?

Kohli was not unfortunate, he played a bad shot and was out. He was very fortunate in the first innings to not be given out when he gloved it behind.
As a true spirit of cricket winner, didn't walked in the first innings and even now didn't wanted to go.

Never mind, I'm sure you can bounce back in the next 3 tests as the likes of tendulkar Dravid laxman gangly are being fast tracked LOL.
 
Let's just blame the weak links Saha and Shaw for this batting performance. :inti

I think we have a winner.....

Damn almost feels like India could have made a game out of this if Umesh was not bowling..

....here


The likes of tendulkar Dravid laxman gangly will be thinking what has it come to

Just watching the way this team all stood there frozen to Hazelwood, think they'd break this total had they faced McGrath.
 
Where is Sri Lanka when you need them ? Need to arrange a quick 5-0 series so I can chest thump again.



If Shami wasn't injured there was a 100 run partnership on cards :srt
 
India need to replace Shaw and Saha with Gill and Pant.

Shaw is a monstrous talent but he needs some time off to sort his game out. He will be back very soon and become the master batsman that he is destined to become.

Gill is in a better mental space right now and will score runs.

Saha is a boring coward who should never play for India again. He is an 80s and 90s Indian cricketer.

India have been holding Pant back for way too long now and are not helping his confidence.

The tons that he scored in England and Australia two years back should have been sufficient for him to be persisted with.

He is a supreme talent and he shouldn’t have to worry about his place in the side anymore. In situations like this, a quick cameo of 30-40 runs could be game changing.

It might not work in such situations but at least he will have the courage to try and get some big hits when he knows he can and will get out any time soon.

On the other hand, Saha will continue to poke his bat and wait to get out like the sheep that he is.

This guy has no business playing for India anymore. He doesn’t fit the profile and brand that Indian cricket has built over the years.
 
They've also all been here since before the LOI series, with several of the players featuring in those games as well

Shaw and Gill best batsmen in Asia
 
This is one of our weakest test batting lineup.

Deffo, it's a shame T20 is now taking effect on most teams, England had similar issues at the top of the order but have rectified it and their very strong middle to lower order normally rescues us.
 
I wasn’t going to post but seeing Mamoon being more butt hurt than your average Indian fan here is a sight to see :))

As for the match India will be devastated as they were in a strong position to win but just got blown away by good bowling but honestly it was more just bad batting - too much poking outside off stump, something Pak batsman love doing in Australia.

Australia def have got this Test now, 200 would have been defendable but not 90.

However I still expect a competitive series - still looking forward to the rest of the matches.
 
tyron's logic of whoever wins the toss in this series will win the match in this series is under serious threat. His whole PakPassion career is on the line. :inti
 
I think it is time we should seriously consider outsourcing our batting to some corporation for oversees tours.

I don't think anything will change even after replacing those two players.

Rahane and Vihari are hardly contributing with bat. Mayank looked good in last two years but his real test has started as well. We are basically a strong team at home but strictly average overseas.

All these hype leads to nothing because this is probably one of our worst batting lineup in overseas conditions.

Yes monstrous talent have a slight gap between bat pad

:)) poor Mamoon. where is he hiding. if u see him somewhere tell him Even Pakistan B is far superior
 
Those players never achieved a series win in kangaroo land, this lot has - so am sure they won't be thinking too much of this ;)

My point is India's batting has declined big style, sure they have a excellent attack but looking back when I saw the past Indian teams their batting line up always had it imprinted as star studied, you guys must be worried with kohli departing after this test match.
 
This is what Aussies used to do to Eng. I think they finally had enough of being nice to India due to IPL. Hurting tailenders is classic Aussie technique. India will be **** scared now. Expect a few people getting mental depression and a few retirements at end of this test series which will be carnage.
India went early to AUS. Among all teams have most exposure of Aussie conditions. Then this. While as [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] has the nerve to call out Pakistan for going to Eng early, beating them in WC, drawing Test series in 2018
 
One of the dark day, I am crying.
Too pain to watch.

Man I don't think I will be able to have lunch today, never had this agonizing feeling in my 20+ years of watching cricket. Horrific display of batting. Incredibly sad day for us Indian fans.
 
tyron's logic of whoever wins the toss in this series will win the match in this series is under serious threat. His whole PakPassion career is on the line. :inti

One off loss. We shall see over the course of the series.

But what a shocking display of batting lmao.

What happened to us.

Anyway India were under strength for this game. Sh*t happens. Bounce back next game.

Maybe Pakistan B is superior because Pakistan A have lost every single Test in Australia since 1999.

Kohli will not be available for the remaining matches. India cannot fill his batting and leadership void.

This will be a whitewash.

Under strength? Who is missing? Anyways If this team was under strength, how would they bounce back without Kohli?

Completely agree with you. Virat needs to wake up and do what is right for his team.
 
I think you're confused - the bowling line up for the aussies hasn't changed since 2018..while they were batting was pretty poor like in 2018 in their first dig

I am not.Its all about confidence. Aussies were pretty down and shaken after Smith-Warner saga. And then India land up. Its a fluke. Look today. Paine even said this is not the same team. Having Smith, Labu will give confidence to any team.

You will see what I am talking about as this series progreses. India are scarred and Kohli leaving will leave them helpless. 4-0 on cards here

Your banker logic went out of the window lol, I admire your confidence in your team , remember kohli will be absent forvthe remainder of the series

Who gives a damn. India will rebound U like Pakistan. India havE the quality. Poor selection and unavailability of players can do this.
 
Lmao understrength only because of clown Kohlis pathetic nepotistic picks of Prithvi Shaw and Saha for no reason.

Mayank Argawal looks like a walking wicket too.
 
Kohli will not be available for the remaining matches. India cannot fill his batting and leadership void.

This will be a whitewash.

It will depend on the pitches, if its bouncy and quick then yes Aus will be favourites.

But if they are more on the flatter side then India can still compete even without Kohli though his loss will be a big blow.

But above all they have to sort out their atrocious fielding - can’t drop so many catches and get away with it.
 
Under strength? Who is missing? Anyways If this team was under strength, how would they bounce back without Kohli?

Only Ishant is missing because of IPL. Rohit's exclusion was considered as a blessing in disguise by IPL fans before this series but now he has become an integral part of this team. :inti
 
My point is India's batting has declined big style, sure they have a excellent attack but looking back when I saw the past Indian teams their batting line up always had it imprinted as star studied, you guys must be worried with kohli departing after this test match.

Yeah well I don't know what India's past batting line ups would have done differently today - the bowling was precise and nothing missed the bat, every single time an edge. Just that kinda day.

Except Shaw who has an obvious technical flaw, can't really think of what could be improved.

Worst part for India is Shami's injury, without Ishant sharma and Shami, India is looking at a plundering the remaining matches

No one will get depression buddy. But full credit to Aussies for pulling this off. Unbelievable bowling.

India however need to make proper selections. We shall see over the course of the series. India won't back down.
 
Ishant
Bhuvi
Pant
Gill
Weren’t Pant and Gill not played despite being fit? The under strength excuse only works if the player were unfit or unavailable.

Also India’s bowling did fine, it was the batting that failed so not sure what difference Ishant or Bhuvi would have made.
 
I will be there even if we lose 10 series in a row. Die hard fan not a fake fodder phony fan like many pathetic losers here.

Are you talking about [MENTION=152021]Rajdeep[/MENTION], [MENTION=151350]Mesozoic[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3327]Indiafan[/MENTION] here? :inti

Yes, India will be at proper strength without Kohli from next game onwards

Lets see man.I do admire your optimism though.
 
Love Mamoon's selective Positivity for India when even the Indian's themselves have a melt down. Another individual who should drown his head in shame
 
Think Kohli should stay a test or two for team.This stuff can leave teams disintegrated. Seen it happen to Eng in 2013
 
Weren’t Pant and Gill not played despite being fit? The under strength excuse only works if the player were unfit or unavailable.

True. Batting sucks. I always said that if you don't recall.

My only issue was people descrediting our bowling. Our bowling is quality. It's always been our batting overseas thats trash. Mostly due to poor selections.
