Kohli has most wins by Asia Captain , and India may be very good side , but doctored pitches that India won in home , reminds peopl of India in early 90 s when India won on such pitches with three spinners , Kumble - Chauhan - Raju

The margins of victory at home were WAY WAY greater on non turners than turners.

Still this myth exists?

Lol you have the sourest of sour grapes. What next? Declare innings or fake an injury when a humiliating record like this is imminent and then uae your lame excuse? :))

And by the way , the way Shami was playing he was looking to get out haha. Guy chased a wide bouncer to injure his hand :))
Click to expand...

If a team badly cares about avoiding a meaningless record like this, they should technically be able to declare the innings or maybe even feign an injury to avoid getting into the record books.

However, they will receive a lot of flak from all quarters for showing complete lack of spirit.
 
Labus got out & Smith failed in first innings. This is horrible news for India - two batsmen averaging around 65 each got out cheaply ..... means they’ll make it up, probably in next Test.

Labus got 3 lives in first innings and almost got Smith run out. Dont think India has to worry about Labus but their own fielding tbh.
 
This Joe Burns guy looks destined to be the next Tendulkar

No, he is a fantastic Test player - potentially the best for this decade. And, he probably will end career with highest amount of runs in Test wins. This was just a casual shot - he tried to finish it early. My hunch is - he is going to hit a hundred next Test.
 
MMHS said:
Changes for Next Test: Shaw, Kohli, Saha, Shami out - Gill, KL, Pant, Siraj in

Burns out, Warner in.

2-0 to hosts..... regardless of who wins the toss.

Burns won't be dropped after this cameo.

Don't know if Warner is fit enough to play the next test, but deem it more likely he'll replace Wade.

What fatigue. There was full 7 months rest due to Covid. I am not saying it's on purpose. Point is CA doesn't extend such friendliness to other boards due to money. Against Eng they will prepare the bouncier tracks and sledge them hard. This India team is nothing special. The team under Ganguly was greatest however that time due to no IPL they suffered same fate as other teams. Today CA wants tests to last 5 days in a similar way that ICC ensures that India atleast makes Semis of any tournament.

Aussies get spanked in India too if India doctor pitches. Works both ways.

Aussies are not so great outside Australia.

He gives too many chances at the beginning. Good teams will latch onto them.
 
I dont really rate this Burns lad. Looks like a mediocre player. This cameo might hurt Australia, lets see.

Did you see him in the first innings?
 
Till yesterday Trump was winning. Then came the Aussie pace battery ballots and now Biden is winning. :ua
 
The bowling was pretty ordinary too in the second innings. They got absolutely dominated by Wade and Burns, of all people.
 
Labuschagne is a fantastic Test batsman. People showing their ignorance as usual.

Cant wait to see India's Azhar Ali aka Rahane to surrender before the Aussies in the next 3 matches. :))

I indeed did. But, what you didn't see is the quality of bowling he faced on Day 2, on this track. In AUS, wicket is fastest on Day 2, and it gripped for Ashwin. The ball he got out kept low.

Poor starter, but once set, immovable object. This is not new to AUS batsmen - even Bradman has 23 single digit inning out of 80. Dean Jones, Steve Waugh, Ponting - all were shaky starters, but they learned to survive with age & experience. Once Labus learns to cope up with that poor start, he'll maintain a career average over 50.
 
If India had caught properly in the 1st inns Aussies could have been out for around 100. Pathetic fielding and poor mindset batting is to blame for the loss.

Oh and if india had won the toss the game would have been different :)))
 
tyron_woodley said:
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.
Click to expand...

Aus was under strength as well, don't forget that
 
Tim Paine has arguably played the innings of the year here. Not to mention the intent with which he scored those runs; he turned the scales towards Australia even though they eventually ended up trailing by 50 in the first innings. The Australian fast bowlers with their body language looked like they were leading by 400. Such a performance lifts the entire team up. Amazing.

Has to be the one of the most impactful 50s I've ever seen.

Rahane is more like Asad Shafiq than Azhar Ali. Both of them choke under pressure and are bad investments. Can't believe he was going to be our next Dravid. Dravid can still bat all day long with his son's plastic bat on these pitches. :inti
 
36 AO. Boy, that will take some time to get over.

Absolutely wonderful bowling by the Aussies especially Hazelwood. Well deserved victory. It will take immense strength to bounce back from here especially since the Captain is leaving too.
 
Indian fans will be praying they lose the toss in any games they lose going forward so they can go back to using that excuse.

Omg BVB bhai, you took the words out of my mouth. I literally logged back in to correct myself, i actually was thinking Asad Shafiq but wrote Azhar. Rahane is a mental midget similar to Asad, and enjoying a free ride in the team as well.
 
I wont totally right India off yet, looking at the scheduled tests, mcg, Sydney, then the GABBA, Adelaide, mcg, Sydney are in general very good batting tracks, this schedule was taylor made for India!

Just admit you lost fair and square

That was a fair pitch, no different to 2017-18 Brisbane for example. India just batted embarrasingly poorly

Bro, no one doubts India's dominance at home, they don't need to doctor wickets to win at home.

But when some people come up with ridiculous statements like this 'Indian team is GOAT Asian Test team' or 'Kohli is the GOAT Asian captain' it gets messy.

Yeah he looks a good player but nowhere near the hype he's got.

But he should still have a good career

I don't agree with Goat tags.

Yes yes Australia tailors pitches for India. Get out of here.
 
In a spectacular display of seam bowling, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins bowled India out for their lowest score in history, to set up a stunning comeback victory for Australia on day three of the first Test in Adelaide.

India had gone to stumps the previous day at 9/1, seemingly ahead in the game with an overall lead of 62, but in a dramatic turn of events, they succumbed to an eight-wicket defeat as Australia further strengthened their position atop the ICC World Test Championship points table. Hazlewood and Cummins starred with the ball before Joe Burns made an unbeaten fifty to carry Australia home.

The innings for the visitors started unravelling soon on the third morning as Cummins, ranked No.1 in the MRF Tyres ICC Test Bowling Rankings, dismissed nightwatchman Jasprit Bumrah, Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli in rapid succession. He focused on the channel just outside off, rarely allowing the batsmen any scope to leave the ball, and got the ball to move off the surface just enough to find the edge.

Josh Hazlewood didn't take long to follow the template, producing a perfect delivery to Mayank Agarwal in the very first ball of his spell, having him caught behind for nine - the highest score in India's innings.

Hazlewood didn't look back thereafter, having all of Ajinkya Rahane, Hanuma Vihari and R Ashwin dismissed in a similar fashion. Wickets came at a rapid rate with India at one stage slipping from 15/1 to 15/5.

There was never a recovery to speak of. To make matters worse for the visitors, their innings ended with Mohammad Shami copping a nasty blow to his forearm off Cummins' bowling, to retire hurt for one. He didn't take the ball in Australia's innings.

With a small target to get, Joe Burns and Matthew Wade – both of whom were under pressure for runs after failures in the first innings – came out with evidently positive intent. Burns, whose place in the side was under scrutiny even before this match began, was tested with the short ball and he got hit in a moment of indecision against Bumrah, but he shook the blow off to play a fine knock, also taking the short ball on later in his innings.

Matthew Wade grabbed every opportunity to score quick runs and was especially severe on deliveries with width. He found the boundary with regularity. It took a slight bit of luck for India to get their first wicket in the innings. Wade stepped down to Ashwin and played a shot, but the ball ricocheted off the man at short leg, allowing wicket-keeper Saha to gather the ball and flick it onto the stumps to catch the batsman short of his crease.

Ashwin then accounted for Marnus Labuschagne, who perished in an attempt to hit the off-spinner over the long-on fence. Burns brought up the winning runs and his fifty with a hook for six to seal one of Australia most memorable victories.

This wasn't a proper bouncy pitch. Australia have lost to India when there is awkward bounce.

If India prepares doctored pitches they will butcher everyone 4 0 like they did before.

They produce fair pitches.

You support India with exactly the opposite fervor with which you dehumanize pakistan. You deliberately create an image of India's superiority in order to exaggerate the success difference between india and pakistan. I remember you laughed at Naseem's injury despite the kid claiming hat-trick and furiously wished for his career ending injuries. I mean it was conclusive evidence of your India-loving-anti-pakistan saga. I hope you rectify your pathological conditions

Dude I am here. Always support India no matter what till I die. These losses don't faze me. We actually we're in a dominant position. We blew it away by letting them score 190 in the first place. Should have been 120 all out.

Anyway doesn't matter. India need to make proper selections like the ones I picked.

India played well. Just had a collapse. Sh*t happens.

Need to pick Gill, pant and Rahul for the next test. Ideally Rahul middle order.

Anyway Ishant and Bhuvi would have made a difference because they are better bowlers than Yadav who actually did well in the first innings.

Batting was poor though.

Pune 2017 was as doctored as anything I've ever seen
 
If India don't pick the players I mention they will lose. It also needs to be in the right order.

Even opening with vihari isn't bad. He can blunt the new ball.

Shaw clearly isn't ready.
India also missing the extra bowler link. Drop vihari and put jaddu and Ashwin together. Plus Gill, Rahul pant.

Not as doctored as 2018 South Africa vs India.

Australia have lost on our bouncy tracks before.

Anyway pink ball sh*t is over. Let the real test begin. Shami is out for next match or? If yes then Siraj or Saini will play. That's where Ishant and Bhuvi are missed but India will fight.
 
therealAB said:
tbh Warner in Australia is at true ATG level. Makes up easily for Ishant, and Rohit who has done very poorly in Aus previously
Click to expand...

Who said Rohit?
Ishant
Bhuvi at 8 who can bat and support in bowling. Good new ball bowler.
Gill should have always been picked.
Pant

Saha is a bewda. Shaw is going through some acne trauma.
 
Unexpected but, part and parcel of the game.

Top bowling from Australia and for India highlights the importance of having someone playing lot of balls like Pujara usually does which allows the other players in the middle order to come into play when the shine of the ball wears off. Maybe need atleast one opener like that, who can play traditional test innings rather than having two openers who can be bit iffy around off stump.

Pant
Saha(wkt)
Kuldeep
Umesh
Saini
Siraj

Bro the lead would then be close to 160 etc. Plus Aussies would be more demoralised. India may have batted better.

Anyway India played well. Just phucked up in a session.

Let's see next game. I have full faith in this team to turn it around provided bewda makes the right picks for selection.

Kaptaan Shaw will humiliate the Aussies. He is a Tendulkar, Lara, Viv Richards and Bradman all mould in one. I expect 400 from him in next game.
