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

[KingLiton]

Yes better to ignore these losser's who don't know anything about test cricket.

You shouldn't resort to personal attack that is against pakpassion.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yes better to ignore these losser's who don't know anything about test cricket.

yes. Anyone whos knows history knows it has never happened since Test cricket

 

[ali_ed2006]

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.

The way they're going right now by the time its 150-130 runs they'll have maybe 15-20 overs left? Cummins can put everyone on boundary even if India think about attacking and are somehow getting closer.

 

[KingLiton]

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.

Ok looking at the scorecard on cricinfo, looks like India is going for a draw. 5th test with both team 1-1 will be a good contest

 

[Devadwal]

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.

Youngsters are still new to test cricket and they never experienced of drawing a test .

So anything can happen under huge pressure.

But i really enjoying this Hard faught test cricket .

IPL superstars are scoring at 2.06 an over.

Maybe they are trying to copy Sunil Gavaskar's 36*(174).

 

[Croma]

241 to win : 44 overs : 7 wickets...

draw looking most likely and Australia win next possibility

 

[Croma]

These two have survived 22 overs already...

True cricket fan would appreciate this test match. Pak vs SA match was also a great match.

 

[Devadwal]

Its really unbelievable that after so Many dead woods in the Indian team, this series scoreline is still 1-1

Indian bowling is all about Bumrah only.

Australian should have ashamed the way they were/ are playing cowardly cricket at the home

Sam Konstas been giving selfies like he's some superstar lol

No doubt this has been a great match. Lot of ups and downs and fightbacks. Surely there's some more drama left.

 

[Hitman]

Kohli hatao,
Indian cricket bachao ....

.... Rohit ko bhi saath meh le jao!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Starc's injury has come back

 

[Devadwal]

Pant please dont play any flanky shots against Lyon.

 

[Devadwal]

Only 10 minutes left for tea break

40 overs left

 

[sweep_shot]

Last 10 overs: 18/0.

 

[ali_ed2006]

I'm very surprised that someone like Cummins didn't declare last night and gave India 10 overs to bat.

 

[Devadwal]

Constas is behaving like a Clown.

Our best batsmen are still to come anyway.

Marnus into the attack to bounce these 2 out

 

[Devadwal]

Yes that was i continuosly talking about from yesterday . australia should have declared when lead was around 290.

They would have got two important wickets at the end of day 4.

Australia only can win when india team trying to chase the target which is almost impossible one Lead was cross the 275+

Now indian players don't play shots which minimize australia chance of winning.

Such a cowardly approached by Cummins .

Hahahahahaaaa look at those expressions. As if he'll bowl 155kph

At most they would have got the same guys out: Rohit, Kohli etc.

 

[jnaveen1980]

One session to s urvive. Australia needs 7 wickets.

 

[Croma]

no wickets lost and its tea

Heading towards harmless draw

Call it "Gabba effect'

 

[Champ_Pal]

Well played by Jais and Rish.

Another 20 overs of this kind of batting and India can dream of a draw.

It’s 80-20 Aus win now. With each passing over, draw chances will be increasing.

 

[Devadwal]

don't matters who they have got but wickets column had shown 2 wickets. This is what matter after the end of Day 4.

 

[Ab Fan]

Good batting from Jaiswal and Pant.

Hope the seniors get a learning from it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

The thing is we Indians know Rohit and Kohli are finished. But an Australian think tank won't assume "They are finished they won't score runs". THey will always look at them as threat no matter how much they suck. Both are LOI stars as well. Jaiswal scores quickly, Pant can do. So can Reddy. India can potentially hunt down that target

 

[pillionrider]

They might have got Jaiswal too. He was looking depressed after those catches and the pasting he got from Rohit lol

 

[Ab Fan]

Best performers in this series for India:-

Bumrah
Jaiswal
N Reddy

Only these three have done well for India in this series.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bumrah is the only one who made the fearless call in this series.

 

[Vikram1989]

Pant and Jaiswal should play another 15 to 20 overs of safe cricket .i see atleast 40 overs remaining .They should remember Aussies never stop coming at u.starc case is interesting to see .is he injured or not ?

Mike Hussey on air said he spoke to Vettori and that Daniel had said they were a little worried about Jaiswal and Pant

 

[Champ_Pal]

Sam Konstas been giving selfies like he's some superstar lol

He will slow down with a couple more failures. He is still high on his 1st innings success against Bumrah.

He is acting like a typical spoilt Gen Z teenager.

Jadeja& Rahul batting played crucial part in Gabba Drawn test .

We have not done great as Whole team but some of individuals brilliance is the reason why we are still in this series.

Our past performance is one reason why we are still in this series. They are worried because of 2021 results

 

[Savak]

The series being 1-1 going into Sydney is Australia's failure not India's given that these are Australian home conditions. It will be advantage India at Sydney where the pitch will suit them from a batting and bowling point of view

That is surely Play the parts. Australian team is scared no doubt about it.

Australia should take some tips from New Zealand and bring in some random spinner who can bundle us out. #AjazPatel #ToddMurphy #StevenOKeefe #SimonHarmer

 

[Devadwal]

Officially 38 overs left Which means india need 228 runs in 228 Balls with 7 wickets remaining .

While australia just needs 7 good balls .

India will Happy if they can draw this test but australia is still favourite to win this test .

I don't think we have the firepower + batting cushion to go a run a ball to win it.

Let's take the deficit down to 100 and see where we're at. Then look to hit out.

Nobody can. No team has ever won a test chasing 350 and above in a single day. You have to start the innings on day 4 to achieve this kind of total.

Don't Even think about winning .a draw is win for us considering the suitaion we were and some deadwoods in this team.

That's why australia missed the tricks to not declared earlier .

India going for a win is better for them as This may lead to falls of indian wickets .

 

[jnaveen1980]

At the Gabba India needed 145 in the last session. Now 228. Noway we are going to attempt

 

[Devadwal]

Australian Bowlers will be tired and next test Start just after 3 days

 

[Hitman]

At the Gabba India needed 145 in the last session. Now 228. Noway we are going to attempt

Will be disastrous if we lose.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball is turning. That was well played by Pant though.

 

[jnaveen1980]

TUkloo is getting turn and bounce

 

[jnaveen1980]

India's biggest problem is if they lose 1 they lose 3. So they cannot afford to make any mistake for a long period

 

[hamzie]

Lmao Sunil Gavaskar having a sook about Pak losing

 

[Croma]

Ok this is boring for me too... I will come back to check in on the score...

 

[pillionrider]

Konstas making that taget on his back larger and larger every passing moment

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ok this is boring for me too... I will come back to check in on the score...

THis is hardly boring. Australia's win is still there on the line. That makes the match interesting.

 

[kingusama92]

Brain fart from Pant. Both innings he's played silly shots.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Match losing shot. A rubbish ball. He hit to the fielder

 

[Devadwal]

Pant you idiots. What is the need to play that shots??

If india lose this test than I blame pant idiot's.

What the hell he was thinking??

 

[pillionrider]

Brain fart from Pant. Both innings he's played silly shots.

It was a terrible ball. Worthy of being belted. Only problem I think was Pant has been defensive in his mindset looking only to draw, so he couldn't get the power he would normally have got into that shot

 

[stani_pak]

Can someone explain that celebration from head hahahaha

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pant throws it away.

Pitch is flat and a brain fade is the only way Aus could’ve gotten a wicket. Pant obliges a filthy short ball from a part timer and gives away his wicket.

 

[pillionrider]

Can someone explain that celebration from head hahahaha

Magician I think

 

[jnaveen1980]

No. This is not Rajkot. This is MCG. You still have to place your shot

 

[stani_pak]

Didnt look approriate hahaha

 

[Varun]

Rishabh 'Afridi' Pant

 

[kingusama92]

Definitely worth hitting but also what they were setting him up for by bowling a part-timer. They wanted him to be aggressive and he complied.

 

[Croma]

I heard some shouts so came back and yes.. Pant is out to his usual nonsense shot ...Ok Leaving again...bye

 

[pillionrider]

No. This is not Rajkot. This is MCG. You still have to place your shot

On any other day when Pant comes in with his usual mindset, that ball would've been in the stands. MCG or Rajkot.

 

[kingusama92]

Pitch has nothing in it.

Should be an easy draw for India cause no way is Australia taking six more wickets here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

WHy do you need a six there? What do you achieve with a six?

 

[pillionrider]

Definitely worth hitting but also what they were setting him up for by bowling a part-timer. They wanted him to be aggressive and he complied.

There was a theory on air that they are running short of the required over-rate and are in danger of being docked points which could mess with the WTC standings

 

[jnaveen1980]

Their pacers will come back soon. THis is clearly an opening for them. Jaddu doesn't bat well in 2nd innings

 

[sweep_shot]

T20 hack Pant is out.

He should only stick to IPL.
