Australia (474 & 234) hands India (369 & 155) an 184-run defeat in the 4th Test to take a 2-1 lead in the 5-match series

[Mahee]

please stop taking wickets, we can't win this match....we need a draw...they are forcing us to chase the target, it's not good

 

[mango_bite77]

The game is wide open now. Draw is out of equation. Cummins would have his brain operating full fledged now. We will have a result.

Anything less than 280 is a cake walk for India.

Sydney Barnes Bumrah

lmao 5'5 barnes vs bumrah

 

[Mrjungshook]

he will repay with great celebrations.

That will actually make him a clown.
Look at siraj, right now he is bowling good and even if he shows agression it looks good no one is gonna boo him.

 

[kron]

This is GOD LEVEL BOWLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bumrashthra.
should make biopic on him instead of losers like kohli dhongi and so on.

 

[Varun]

We can't chase a drop over 250

 

[Mrjungshook]

Anything less than 280 is a cake walk for India.

Brother this is 2024 Indian test team.
What you just saw with Australia, this has been happening with India from last few years which is collapse. India can collapse at any stage. 250+ is a lot for this team.
They should just try to wrap this as soon as possible

 

[Hitman]

I'd gladly have another Bumrah in my team after he retires, instead of another Kohli or Rohit.

 

[Mrjungshook]

We can't chase a drop over 250

Exactly this.

India has strong 5, 6, 7 and 8. By the time they come, the ball doesn't do much. All these guys can bat with intent.

 

[Hikaru]

lmao 5'5 barnes vs bumrah

Come on now.

 

[BouncerGuy]

WHat a comeback by India. 199 lead and just 4 wickets remaining... India can win this one.

 

[batandballbattle]

Pitch doing tricks, chasing 200 plus will be a challenge and 250 very much so.

 

[jnaveen1980]

one way or the other match has a result now. I thought it would end in a tame draw.

 

[Mrjungshook]

For that top order has to survive.

 

[mango_bite77]

Bumrah has most wickets at MCG by visiting bowler in last 110 years.

 

[kron]

labu was out earlier btw. got lucky australia here.

but i saying that, how has he survived lmao everyone else is falling.

 

[mango_bite77]

Most overrated player in this side. Just theatrics nothing else

 

[kron]

confused now. they are saying virat is setting field etc
now rohit is just a captain in name??
whats going on

 

[batandballbattle]

Labus form has been spotty but he still has a rock solid technique

Nothing just a camera queen doing his duty for his loyal virat bhakts.

 

[Ahmed216]

What a game! Words can't describe how good Bumrah is.

India ahead atm.
Another 50 runs would make it 50:50..

Box office stuff

 

[Advaith]

Pitch

The game is wide open now. Draw is out of equation. Cummins would have his brain operating full fledged now. We will have a result.

I think maidens are better than wickets at this moment for India especially when it looks like the pitch is extra spiced up..

 

[Champ_Pal]

What a choke from Aus. But the hey are still favs to win this Test.

I have no faith in Indian batting.

 

[kingusama92]

250 lead is going to be such an epic finish to the test. It's in that sweet spot.

300+ is Australia's game.

Less than 250 is India's game and they will get it done with their batting depth.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Match is on a knife edge. 200 run lead is still a good lead.

 

[Hikaru]

Bumrah's career seems like a Highlights show. It might end up being short, but how eventful and epic it has been already.

My favorite Indian Cricketer since the God himself.

 

[Mahee]

this is sharma's final test match....that's why

don't let here say that. ticket sales are always poor when India tours australia.

bumrah is special indeed.

 

[Mrjungshook]

Bumrah is not playing only to win but he is also helping virat and Rohit to extend their test careers.

 

[kron]

labuschagne lmao out again. dropped. jaissu needs to show in batting now

 

[kingusama92]

The pitch has gotten harder. The other bowlers are getting more off the wicket too.

 

[Mrjungshook]

I like jaiswal but I want to use that meme here:
Kyaa baiii paani Puri.

 

[imshally81]

Dropped

 

[kingusama92]

Yikes that's a terrible drop by Jaiswall.

 

[jnaveen1980]

How cost that drop is going to be. Sitter

 

[Mrjungshook]

The pitch has gotten harder. The other bowlers are getting more off the wicket too.

Pitch is tough and the more Virat and Rohit are realising it the more their smiles are dropping.

 

[imshally81]

200 seems difficult here for 4th innings

 

[Croma]

Jaiswal has dropped 2 catches today..

 

[Mahee]

anything over 175 is very difficult on this pitch

 

[kron]

200 seems difficult here for 4th innings

its really not that hard. its still flat ish. roller will do the trick. for an hour and half it will be flat. one good partnership will do it.

 

[kingusama92]

Pitch is tough and the more Virat and Rohit are realising it the more their smiles are dropping.

Definitely going to be a challenging chase now. But it's quite possible if they wrap this up quickly.

 

[Mahee]

Jaiswal drops BGT

 

[Hikaru]

Costly drops. Indian catching standards have gone down since the Fab4 era. Cant recall them spilling dollies like these so consistently.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jaiswal is one of the best catcher. Off day I must say.

 

[Mrjungshook]

I have already mentioned that. You can celebrate later just try to finish this off. India has this problem with tailenders.

 

[kron]

pitch isnt that hard. it still looks good. indian fans are so stupid. but we have crap batsmen. will fatman and kohli step up?

 

[batandballbattle]

pitch isnt that hard. it still looks good

Still decking off the surface, even this many runs is challenging. If 250 is eaked out advantage Australia

 

[kron]

Still decking off the surface, even this many runs is challenging. If 250 is eaked out advantage Australia

for good batsmenn no. for rohit kohli then yes

 

[Mrjungshook]

Nice strategy this. Don't let anyone apart from labu to face Bumrah.

 

[Devadwal]

This partnership is killing the match for india.

Australia is huge favourite now .

 

[Romali_rotti]

This Jaiswal kid has Pakistani hands, he will drop just about anything that comes his way. I would keep.him away from the slips at all times.

 

[Ahmed216]

Still decking off the surface, even this many runs is challenging. If 250 is eaked out advantage Australia

Cracks are coming into play but nothing unplayable atm. I'd say anything above 250 is going to be very difficult to chase

 

[Devadwal]

Jaiswal what have you done.

Bot watched after carey wickets but how difficult was that catch?

 

[batandballbattle]

for good batsmenn no. for rohit kohli then yes

Tough for everyone really. I'm telling you the lead is getting to be uncomfortable for India

 

[kron]

This partnership is killing the match for india.

2 catches droped but still can be chased. pitch isnt bad.

 

[batandballbattle]

I have been a critic of Labu for his recent form yet his ability to grind out ugly runs is seldom seen in tests nowadays. You need that kind of player when the pressure is on.

he was out twice lmao.
got lucky again.

 

[Devadwal]

Lead is already 216. India isn't going to chase anything over 200.

Game is done and dusted .they can easily add another 100 runs from bere.

 

[batandballbattle]

he was out twice lmao.
got lucky again.

Need a bit of luck sometimes. Still a potentially match winning effort.

 

[kingusama92]

That would have been a crazy catch if he took it.

 

[Varun]

Tough for everyone really. I'm telling you the lead is getting to be uncomfortable for India

World record chase at the MCG is 292 way back in 1947.

If it's anything more than 300 we should bat out for a draw.

 

[Mahee]

this partnership is killing India's chances, this cummins guy is so dangerous

 

[Kaptan]

Runs flowing now. Easy single and doubles

 

[Mrjungshook]

he was out twice lmao.
got lucky again.

Have you seen any of the Indian batsmen scoring a century without any chances??
You should check Kohli's best overseas series in 2014 against Australia and 2018 against England and see how many times he was dropped you will lose the count trust me.

 

[Devadwal]

Jadeja idiot is giving free runs

 

[batandballbattle]

Ehh I wouldn't say the Indian team have that draw mindset. Kela is the only true classical bat, rest are modern or a mix of traditional and modern styles.

 

[Croma]

Looks like Bumrah has to bowl from both ends all day

 

[Ab Fan]

Akash Deep has bowled well but with zero success. He has been extremely unlucky.

 

[HARKS]

We need to lose next 2 matches otherwise Rohit and Kohli will stick and play continuously but I have full faith in rohit he will definitely let game drift and let lead cross 350+

 

[Hikaru]

Its slipping away now.

 

[Ab Fan]

Captain Cummins always delivers with bat when matters.

 

[kingusama92]

Giving away too many runs here.

 

[Devadwal]

Damn. We need to stop the runs flow untill tea. 6 minutes to go.

 

[Devadwal]

Give ball to sundar

 

[kron]

true but i dont rate kohli. look at smith. rarely gives a chance that's why he is goat

 

[Devadwal]

Half tracker from sundar

 

[Kaptan]

Remove Bumrah and rest of our bowlers aren't good enough to stop flow of runs, combine that with slow captaincy of Rohit

 

[Devadwal]

Why sundar is bowling round the wicket? Unbelievable
