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

[JaDed]

Just started the stream. Are we trying to chase or simply batting for a draw? Asking after looking at the number of balls Rohit and Jaiswal have faced.

They started for a draw but then seeing how wickets fell they have started smacking.

My logical mind wants to believe they wanted the ball to get old before taking risks.

 

[Devadwal]

What he does in IPL/ODI is irrelevant.

I was taking about test cricket.

12 match, 44 average,866 runs along with 3 test century and thats including 2 test in australia .

Jazball is lion-hearted

 

[JaDed]

Dayum lucky there

 

[Ahmed216]

Jazball is lion-hearted

Saved by umpire's call

 

[JaDed]

Hoping Jaiswal can make it count

 

[BDfanforever]

It shows most of the ball hitting stumps. How is that umpires call? Another controversy regarding umpires call unloading.

Good thing was he didn't fall over which kept umpire under impression it was going down leg

I also don't get it. May be more than half of the ball was going over. Still not sure of the rules

Most PK and BD fans are asleep but they are already convinced it's out.

@BDfanforever Top of leg stump.. clipping bails is umpire’s call from what I have read.

 

[JaDed]

Pant would had fallen.

 

[JaDed]

Jaiswal is not Pant not sure why he is getting involved.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is exceptional bowling from both teams. Batting is tough on day 5 pitch.

Not so much on this pitch. This surface has lost pace progressively so scoring has become difficult but not survival.

Unless you are Rohit and Kohli..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not really. Ball is still moving around off the pitch. It will die only after 40 overs. Not quiet there yet

 

[Ahmed216]

Kohli literally gifted his wicket. In ODI cricket that would have been a wide

Australia cricket along with BCB and PCB should file a petition to the ICC about This DRS call

They should be tested DRS technology because some fan's wanted just like Bumrah action

 

[Devadwal]

Lyon is bowling beautifully

 

[Croma]

AUstralia need 7 wickets in 54 over. India have done decently after the early 3 wickets, but long way to go

 

[Devadwal]

AUstralia need 7 wickets in 54 over. India have done decently after the early 3 wickets, but long way to go

Just matter of seven good Balls and they have enough overs to do it.

This match is done and dusted.

Jaiswal is not looking good at all

 

[Croma]

Jaiswal will have to help India to draw the match to make up for his 3 drop catches

 

[sweep_shot]

This has been a boring Day 5 so far.

 

[KingLiton]

India should win this match, only 262 runs from 53 overs on this flat surface with Starc injured is easy

 

[Ab Fan]

Lyon is getting turn. Not good signs. Except Reddy, rest are left handers and they will struggle big time vs Lyon.

 

[JaDed]

Starc Injured?

 

[Devadwal]

This has been a boring Day 5 so far.

T20 cricket fans won't understand hard fought contest in the test cricket.

This is top contest between bat and ball . everything is not about six and fours

Stick to watching bangladesh cricket team.

 

[jattafridi]

Future great jaiswal

India play spin well though, Lyon is no Ashwin

why do you guys keep saying flat surface lol This is not flat surface. Ball is turning square for Lyon

Come again?

I am someone who wants to see T20 banned completely. How am I a T20 fan?

This is a boring Day 5 even by Test's standard.

Sorry?

This is boring because you just want australia to win the test .

Dont worry they are likely to win but Indian youngsters are fighting for a draw after seniors leaves the team in the trouble .

 

[Croma]

52 overs left.. Pant is unreliable, will go for some weird stroke at any time and gift his wicket...

 

[sweep_shot]

Despite IPL and whatnot, India are scoring at 2.13 an over.

Even Zimbabwe can score faster than this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

REmember VIhari and Ashwin batted 43 overs to save the test

Yeah kept it 1-1, and went into final test like that. Let’s see if these two can do it.

52 overs left. we have 7 wickets left. They have to bat time with minimal risks

 

[mango_bite77]

Excellent batting by Jaiswal, Australia under pressure now.

 

[KingLiton]

mk: "Last time kk came to comment, we lost Rohit, Rahul and Kohli. Welcome back kk and Congrats Aussies on a great win. "


Saw this comment on cricinfo, who is kk ?

 

[Croma]

is anyone watching live? are the batters doing any tactical time wasting?

 

[sweep_shot]

340 in 91 overs should be chasable by a top side.

The fact India didn't go for it shows India are no longer a top side. They are a mid-tier side.

Aussies are exposing them again (like they did in 2023 WC final).

 

[Devadwal]

REmember VIhari and Ashwin batted 43 overs to save the test

That was one the best match saving partnership by last recognised batting pair in the history of test cricket and both of them had injury during that innings.

whichever teams qualify for finals are the top sides.

South Africa and Australia.

I agree that these two teams are the top Test sides currently.

Cummins did not declared yesterday means they are very scared team .

I said same thing's yesterday .

No team has chased the big scored at the MCG

England hold the record after they chased down 332 in 1928

Lol

There's plenty of time and India should win this. 248 runs from 50 overs on this flat surface should be a cakewalk

Dont worry one day bangladesh will get chance to chase same type of target in australia if they can invited by cricket Australia to play test matches .

India on top now

Don't think current India team have the courage to go after this.

They may do statpadding like Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.

 

[Devadwal]

I hope Bangladesh doesn't get invited tbh

Why? Are they not good enough just like Pakistan to play test cricket in australia ?

 

[JaDed]

The coping mechanism of some Naagins on this thread is so satisfying to see, hopefully our youngsters last!

 

[Devadwal]

Jaiswal please calm down.

 

[KingLiton]

Younger generation Indians seems to play for the win, Jaiswal, Pant, reddy etc

 

[sweep_shot]

Young generation of Indians are highly overrated.

Even the World T20 that India won was due to old guns (Bumrah and Kohli).

 

[jnaveen1980]

on 5th day pitch at the G a large ground you think that is easy?

 

[ali_ed2006]

South Africa and Australia.

I agree that these two teams are the top Test sides currently.

I don't know about South Africa being top test side tbh. They had a pretty easy schedule if you look at it

Draw against India 1-1 at home. Beat WI 1-0 and BANG 2-0 away
Beat SL 2-0 at home, and currently Pak 1-0 at home
Lost in NZ 0-2

 

[mango_bite77]

Australia getting frustrated. India can actually win this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

INdia carries two passengers. INdia also dropped Gill and brought in an all rounder. You think Australia would have chased this? lol No way. INdia did give opportunity for AUstralia to chase at perth What did they do? They were blown away.

 

[KingLiton]

Don't think Bangladesh deserves to play test cricket, should have never given Test status.

SA also drew against India.

The NZ series loss was because their main team wasn't available.

They deserved to be in the final.

 

[JaDed]

Surprising movement there

Yeah I mentioned the draw. In that sense NZ beat SAF 2-0 and India 3-0

 

[Devadwal]

They forget that india is already won the back to back test series in australia and this series is still 1-1.

I think they are currently pulling out their hairs just because of Frustration .

I love this meltdown

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nobody can chase 350 on a day 5 pitch like this easily. Very few instances that have happened. Chasing 350 on last day. I don't think it has ever happened . At the Gabba INdia batted on day 4 too.

 

[Devadwal]

Jaiswal please don't Play uppish cover drive or cut shots against Lyon.

 

[JaDed]

Australia getting frustrated. India can actually win this.

Nope, Ind are going for a draw and rightly so

 

[ali_ed2006]

India doing very well. They should be disappointed if they don't draw from here given the long batting lineup

India will win this match just watch, have more confidence in your team

 

[Devadwal]

One Wickets can change all the momentum.

46 over left so australia is still favourite to win.

 

[mango_bite77]

They are not taking any risk right now, once they are closer, like 150-130 runs short, then they will start attacking.

Nitish and sundar yet to come is biggest positive.

 

[ali_ed2006]

I agree one wicket can change the momentum but I don't think Australia are favorites at all. Right now I see 70 percent draw, 30 percent Australia. The remaining batters are very well capable of playing this out.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India will win this match just watch, have more confidence in your team

As i said it has never happened in history. Chasing 350 entirely on day 5 pitch. Only close thing was when Windies made 317 in 90 overs on day 5 in 2017 against England. But they batted on day 4 too.
