How can a fodder like rohit be allowed to walk in lmao
Only in India. Not eve. Pakistan would allow such things to happen

Kohli skipping practice. Thinks he is king. Loser

This bellend just walks in from the flight to a test match. Rohit that is.

Kl being persisted wirh.

We have ample evidence to prove that he is just a one test specialist fodder. Cmon ffs.
 
It's seriously time for Kohli and Rohit to step aside. It happens to everyone where their reflexes go.
 
Is gambir a eunuch?

Wonder if he has cojones to drop virat and rohit now? And kl

I've been Kohli's biggest supporter on PP over the years but I can tell when a player is on his last legs. The century might have saved him but it's obvious he's a shell of himself.

Rohit is just beyond help now.

Anyway pant and head are like cut from the same cloth

Both unbelievable players

Why dint any ipl tea. Think of getting both lmao

But Head usually gets good support from the other end! Pant rarely gets support (Pujara last time)... Even here he is running out of partners... You need batsmen to support such players (like Gilchrist used to get from 1 of the Australian Top 6 batsmen). This will put opposition on the back foot. You need such attacking players in tests... But we have 2 passengers in middle order... Nitish Reddy should ideally come with at least 100+ lead, then he can be effective... One of top order batsmen should have stayed with Pant... Pant doesn't have the luxury of Head (even in home tests! He runs out of partners!)
 
What will be Rohit's press conference answer? Same I guess... It happens sometimes in cricket and we should move on... We will try hard in the next match... Same rubbish stuff!

10 mins of bad play
Chalta hain
We won 2 times in aus already
We are allowed to have one bad series.
Nz was a farce. We were tired
We won t20 wc.
Now relax time
 
Pant showing the other idiots how to smack the pedestrian Boland.

USe some footwork
 
Reddy as well, just walk down the wicket to this slow assss Boland and teach him a lesson like England did
 
Love the fearless way Reddy plays.

Non of the timid poke and prod BS the fat seniors are doing and gifting wickets to stupid bowlers like Boland
 
Day 2: Stumps - India trail by 29 runs

Chuck out Kohli and Rohit immediately.

Kohli is a has been and Rohit is a never was.
 

India Vs Australia, 2nd Test Day 2: IND In Trouble At 128/5, Trail AUS By 29 Runs At Stumps​


India are in all sorts of trouble as they have lost their top-five batters cheaply. At stumps on Day 2, India were 128/5, trailing Australia by 29 runs. KL Rahul was the first to depart as he fell to Pat Cummins. Scott Boland then removed Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli before Mitchell Starc flatted Shubman Gill’s middle stump. Rohit Sharma then managed six runs before becoming Cummins’ second victim.

Earlier, Travis Head top-scored with 140 as Australia’s first innings came to an end on 337. The hosts have taken a 157-run lead. For India, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj took four wickets each. Nitish Reddy and Ravichandran Ashwin chipped in with a wicket each.

Bumrah had given India an ideal start to the day when he got rid of overnight batter Nathan McSweeney and Steven Smith in quick succession. Labuschagne then scored a patient half-century while adding 65 runs for the fourth wicket with Head to lead recovery. Reddy ended the partnership when he had Labuschagne caught at gully by Yashasvi Jaiswal on 64.

Head then produced a majestic show during which he struck 17 fours and four sixes to put Australia in control. India were skittled for 180 after opting to bat first in the day-night Test that got underway from Friday.

News18
 
This was expected. First test is a anomaly. Hope pant and Reddy makes 50 each to avoid innings defeat
 
Most runs in a day's play in a DN Test

383 Aus vs Pak Adelaide 2019
379 Aus vs Ind Adelaide 2024
369 Pak vs WI Dubai 2016
362 NZ vs Eng Mt Maunganui 2023
 
Since no other country plays Pink test that much, Aus is just much better than others in Pink test. They know how to play pink test.

I had this test for Aus before series started.

1-1 will leave this series perfectly set up for both teams. Home team should win this long series. Bumrah may not even play all 5 tests so there will be additional factor going for Aus.
 
This is what I'm talking about, India has three players, Jaiswal, Pant and Bumrah..to win anything they need all three of them to work big in collaboration consistently, it's just not sustainable.
 
Gambhir should ask rohit and kohli to step aside asap for any kind of hope.watching their pathetic performance day by day is atrocious.

True, India should've never agreed to a pink test.

Anywayz I can see us being more competitive at the Gabba and MCG, not much late movement in those tests.

They are three big players without doubt... At the same time, ideally only 1 out of Rahul/Kohli/Rohit should play (not all three of them). At the moment Rahul looks OK compared to the other two in terms of value... Gill should be persisted (he can come good at least from next series onwards, he hasn't had a long run of test series any time... Even this series he missed 1st match). Jurel should not have been dropped... It is like killing a budding talent even before it blossomed... Now he has to play to fight for a place in the side rather than playing for the team... Nitish Reddy can be persisted (if he has better fitness than Pandya and better value than Thakur, then he should stay. If SENA team wins test matches in India with part-time spinners & no-name spinners right from Nicky Boje era - and surprisingly guys like Warne, Murali, etc couldn't achieve much in India, then India should also utilize these medium pacers who can come handy on these kind of pitches!) Siraj to be effective in Tests should stop playing all kind of LOIs (though IPL cannot be avoided, if so it would be even good) Even Padikkal applied and spent more time in the middle than Rohit (that says the story). Rana just had a good debut match, so shouldn't write-off after just 1 game! Spinner - I think India should never go with Jadeja & Ashwin in SENA, even a wrist-spinner is better...

Even Australia don't have all 11 players strong... They too rely heavily on Head, Cummins & Starc. But at least they are getting their balance right for Australian conditions and the support players do their stuff... This Australian team will definitely struggle in India though! But India has reached all time low in building their team as they have started losing even at home!

You never said this when India used to thrash SENA teams for fun on so-called Rank Turners in last 2 decades that too with more than 25% wickets taken by "Indian Seamers" on "Indian Pitches" (secret weapon!)

When India does it is inferior stuff (home bullies, rank turners, blah-blah) Australia winning their "patented pink-ball test in Adelaide" (some secret recipe hidden there), then it becomes professional cricket!

I know India is now not a strong team because a "nobody in test cricket" Rohit Sharma is leading them & occupying a crucial batting spot (Opener or No.6 - both are key positions. He was never a Sehwag or Laxman & doesn't deserve any of those two spots)
 
Former Australian cricketer Simon Katich, during his commentary on a local broadcaster's media outlet, expressed his strong disapproval of Australia's poor over-rate:

“This will be the 22nd over bowled in nearly two hours of cricket. I know there have been wickets, but that’s a disgrace. That’s ridiculous. Captains are responsible; we know they are, because they’re the ones that are copping fines."

“But we know the fines aren’t working because it hasn’t changed anything. Potentially it’s going to be suspensions for Test matches. And if it’s the very next Test, you’re losing your skipper, and that’s maybe how tough it has to be to get this up to scratch because it’s not good enough."

Beating Australia in a Pink Ball Test at Adelaide is one of the toughest challenges. So, it won’t matter much if India loses here

Last time we were lost badly in the pink ball test still won the series .

So we will back once traditional test playing conditions back.

It will depend on how batsmen step up. Ind has to score runs upfront and not just rely on Bumrah magic to win tests. Score big in first inning , that's how most tests are won.
 
Just get rid of sharma and Kohli for the rest of the series, India will just win it.

Also, nobody expected India to win the pink ball test …so, no surprise here.

Exactly! You can't always win with just bowling! Yes bowling will give you the confidence and the killer instinct/blow, ensures test matches are not drawn (with 5 bowlers concept), but it is the "batting" which gives the foundation & platform to execute things... If bowling was everything then Pakistan in 90s should have won all matches everywhere, but the reality is they were most of the times only competitive against strong sides and could able to bash only minnows of those times (including India - if that keeps this forum happy & calm, so that I continue my discussion :) but anyways they couldn't beat even India in world cups because of the same reason - the batting falterting at key moments)

India have reached to this level, nobody expected India to reach this low in batting (especially after our golden peak period of Trimurthy, Fab 4, Fab 5, Fab 6 who unfortunately didn't have the luxury of this kind of strong bowling unit - aways, bowling depth - 5 bowlers, batting depth - late order batting, superb test-quality wicket-keeper/batsman - otherwise they would have achieved immense things!) Yes Indian batting was vulnerable before the union of Fab batsmen in 80s, 90s in SENA but it was definitely not this much fragile and even SENA bowlers were much stronger then!

Yes we always felt we would lose this particular match! (even after the dominant performance in the 1st test) But at least we thought it would be a close game (even now it can get close if Pant does some magic, but we will lose it surely)
 
Lol whats up with Siraj giving Head a send-off after getting whacked all over the park?

Lad went at 4 RPO on a pitch where his team-mates are struggling to buy runs and he is giving send-offs to the opposition’s best batter?
 
Rohit Sharma has scored 8 single digit scores in his last 12 Test innings, including a duck. His average for 2024 is just 27 :unsure:
 
India's bowling coach Morne Morkel, while addressing the press conference after Day 2:

"Firstly, Bumrah is fine and it was just cramps. Even after that [incident] he bowled and got the wickets for us. Like I said, Test cricket is a tough place, there is no place to hide."

"Yesterday (Friday), the lines and lengths could have been better, there was some extra swing too. Thought they did well today (Saturday) morning before Travis Head played his innings. He put the bowlers under pressure but that’s the way he plays."
 
Rohit sharma + Kohli 4 innings 27 runs. How the heck India can win with rookies without any contribution from them. It is frustrating. Any time one of these guys go missing India wins. Moment they come back India loses. It is not a coincidence. Kick these two bozos outside permanently from all formats. India will take some losses. But eventually they will end up winning more than losing.
 
Only captain in the world who does not have the capacity to trap Travis head is Rohit sharma. Everybody else has atleast some success. It is bonkers.

I may have to stop following Test cricket until Rohit sharma retires. His captaincy next level crappy. His form is even more crappy. You know what is going to happen when he captains.

Cummins is a notorious abuser of the overrated just like Stokes. To keep his pacers fresh he bowls well under the overrate required

He needs to be punished. Don't like winning in this manner but points deduction equivalent to that of a win or a suspension for the captain or a forfeit level of punishment needs to be dished out

As per Sanjay and Gavaskar , Mumbai masters,Pr campaigners rohit is the fittest , selfless intent young machine who puts teams above his interests .We should have some sense that both rohit and kohli will sink team in too but not leave voluntarily.
 
India’s biggest threat Jasprit Bumrah bowled just 4 overs in the first session yesterday . he was not used when head was coming to bat .

Rohit is pathetic captain . Bumrah had taken 2 wickets in that 4 over already .

Worlds Dumbest captain.

I seriously have never come across a dumber captain in test cricket. Never in my life

Not only test matches .it's the same situation whenever there is need of brain.when ever there is a tough situation mota bhai gets exposed so badly and his pr team have to step in.as far as i remember , we have won only one tight match in odis under his captaincy ( sl match in Asia cup 23 ).t20 finals is due to bumrah no one else needs a credit there.Odi and Test matches lost/exposed due to his brain fade are quite high and notorious. Odi wc finals with out slip for kuldeep,Second innings against Eng in Hyderabad, opting for batting in Bangalore, Picking sky for bgt
and Odi wc , having long on and long off for Anderson when target is 100 runs away in vizag .He need a very high quality team to nullify his dumbness and mi used to have for few years when they won titles.Since few years as the MI quality gone down every one can see the results.
 
Big day coming up for India. Inning defeat saved? Yes

Can they beat Australia from this position?? NAY
 
Weird shot to play second ball fo the day with the match in such a position
