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

[Croma]

Which set of fans would be happier at this moment? India or Australia?

 

[Croma]

going down leg

 

[Croma]

Lead by 281

 

[LegendAli]

Which set of fans would be happier at this moment? India or Australia?

70-30 in Aus favor.

 

[kingusama92]

I think Australia has enough now. 300+ would be even more substantial.

 

[MP2011]

Last 4 Australia wickets have already produced 88 runs so far.

 

[jnaveen1980]

5 dropped catches by India

 

[jamie smith]

aus should declare now

 

[Croma]

Last wicket scoring very valuable runs

 

[BouncerGuy]

aus should declare now

Why would they declare. They actullay should start smashing every ball to get as many runs as they can in next 5 overs and then declare... not now

 

[MP2011]

Sloppy by the fielders

 

[jamie smith]

lead is 290 now more than enough i think

 

[Ahmed216]

Kohli and Rohit reacting like school kids after every run. Doesn't suit these big names

 

[jnaveen1980]

I want Rohit sharma out permanently. This piece of crap should not get any win. I don't mind INdia losing this one. I want him gone forever.

 

[LegendAli]

aus should declare now

at least have some logic.

 

[Champ_Pal]

India let the tail wag. They scored 100 runs extra.

Good effort from India. But it’s too steep to chase on a Day-5 pitch.

 

[kingusama92]

Too many silly runs being given here to the tail.

 

[Justcrazy]

291 runs lead , not easy to chase.

 

[jamie smith]

can sa qualify for wtc final if they lose their remaining 2 tests provided ind also lose their remaining 2 tests against aus

Indian tail got much more.

 

[Champ_Pal]

I want Rohit sharma out permanently. This piece of crap should not get any win. I don't mind INdia losing this one. I want him gone forever.

Rohit was never a good test batsman. His strength is ODI and he should stick to it. Considering his age, he should retire after this series.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Indian tail got much more.

Both teams could not polish off the tail.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit absolutely wasted specialist spinner like Sundar. Also support seamer reddy.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Both teams could not polish off the tail.

Except INdia partnership was chanceless. But we got chance and messe dup.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Rohit absolutely wasted specialist spinner like Sundar. Also support seamer reddy.

you guys need to drop both rohit and kohli, kohli for last 5 years avg 31, and in India less than 30..unbelivable that he is still playing, 5 year sample size is a long sample size

 

[Savak]

India chased 320 plus in Brisbane in 2021. Why can't they do it again at the MCG?

 

[kron]

if lyon is handling bumrah fine then you know pitch is good for batting.

 

[jamie smith]

can sa qualify for wtc final if they lose their remaining 2 tests provided ind also lose their remaining 2 tests against aus

 

[HARKS]

By the end of day , india would be minimum 4 and both the walking wickets would have fallen

 

[Devadwal]

Wow we have let them Cross 300 runs lead .

Unbelievable

 

[Dhakar Pola]

India chased 320 plus in Brisbane in 2021. Why can't they do it again at the MCG?

Australia scored 290+ in 3rd innings of that match, but here they are struggling to score 200, indicating pitch is not as good as 2021 Brisbane on day 5

 

[jamie smith]

has the pitch flattened out

 

[jamie smith]

i think india will win this one by 6 /7 wickets

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Rohit is trying everything but the kitchen sink to get the last wicket

 

[Devadwal]

Bumrah has completed 50 overs across 16 spells this Test!

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Bumrah has completed 50 overs across 16 spells this Test!

is this the most overs he has bowled in a test?

 

[Devadwal]

Not watching live due to away from home last 1 hour .

How's they are bowling ? Any catch dropped?

 

[jamie smith]

why arent these 2 trying to score quickly

 

[Ahmed216]

Not watching live due to away from home last 1 hour .

How's they are bowling ? Any catch dropped?

Yes a few dropped

 

[jamie smith]

is this the most overs he has bowled in a test?

yes

 

[jamie smith]

aus need to declare now unless these 2 play some some shots

 

[Croma]

If the tail can score this many, no reason why India cannot chase

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is the worst captaincy ever for an Indian

 

[Devadwal]

From 91-6 to 191-9

 

[BouncerGuy]

These 2 should try to bad as many as they can but they should do it quickly. lead already 296

 

[jamie smith]

slow batting by aus will haunt them as they wont have enough time to bowl india out

 

[LegendAli]

So the story of the day for India is Jaiswal alone dropped 3 dolleys, pathetic fielding.

 

[Savak]

Australia scored 290+ in 3rd innings of that match, but here they are struggling to score 200, indicating pitch is not as good as 2021 Brisbane on day 5

Pitch is fine. Indian bowling and tactics have been too good for the mentally weak Australian team who have a mental block against India.

 

[jamie smith]

run out chance missed

 

[kingusama92]

It's a lot of runs to chase.

I think India has hurt its chances big time over the past hour.

 

[Ahmed216]

From 91-6 to 191-9

Lower order runs have been the trend in this game. A soft kookaburra on a relatively slow surface doesn't help the bowlers much

 

[Justcrazy]

18 runs partnership so far

 

[jnaveen1980]

why arent these 2 trying to score quickly

Yea.. Harry Brook and Jo Root are batting lol

 

[MP2011]

If the tail can score this many, no reason why India cannot chase

Because our batsmen are worse than tail.

 

[Ahmed216]

They should swing their bats for a couple of overs and declare if a wicket doesn't fall

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is almost like India doesn't want to bat today lol

 

[HARKS]

Rohit is worst to captain india in history, this guy one of selfish too , he is bowling bumrah to death so that he can save himself, he should never have come back to Australia, should have stayed with his family

 

[BDfanforever]

Bumrah even 130k deliveries are unplayable.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Not watching live due to away from home last 1 hour .

Any catch dropped?

Unfortunately no. Nohit has taken Jaswal out of any places where a catch would come

 

[kron]

its like indian bowlers forgot to bowl bouncers.

 

[Ahmed216]

its like indian bowlers forgot to bowl bouncers.

Bumrah obliges

 

[Devadwal]

This is not how thing works. There is literally no expections from tail so no pressure for them .

Expections leads to failure .

If the tail can score this many, no reason why India cannot chase

 

[Justcrazy]

This last wicket is frustrating Indians here

 

[jamie smith]

these 2 are wasting time.if they just want to survive,they should have simply declared.

 

[kron]

This last wicket is frustrating Indians here

no its good. dont want to bat much today

 

[Croma]

Rohit Sharma needs to bat in T20 mode and score a quick 40

 

[jamie smith]

wont be surprised if bumrah is injured after this match

 

[kron]

boland is australias best bowler.

 

[kingusama92]

Crossed 300.

Game is gone for India IMO.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead finally cross 300 mark

 

[BouncerGuy]

number 10 batters are frustrating India ATM.

 

[jamie smith]

finally a shot

 

[Ab Fan]

Lyon and Boland are better batters than our tailenders, fair to say!

 

[kron]

wont be surprised if bumrah is injured after this match

he is injured. ro ran him to the ground

lmao pitch is still good for batting. india should try and chase. not impossible at all

 

[jamie smith]

lead exceeds 300

 

[kron]

whats the excuse for rohit kohli now
?
pitch is still great for bating
ball does a bit for 30 overs thats it

 

[Ab Fan]

Time to use Washington Sundar.

 

[Ahmed216]

India chased 320 plus in Brisbane in 2021. Why can't they do it again at the MCG?

Scoring rate hasn't been great throughout this game. This surface is not as conducive to stroke play as the gabba one. 250 on last day is a lot of runs here.
In fact the scoring rate has dropped continuously

 

[Justcrazy]

These two have added very crucial runs here

 

[mango_bite77]

Can Australia bowled out india in one day ? I don't think so.

They should declare asap to enforce result.
