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

[Champ_Pal]

Rishabh 'Afridi' Pant

A poor series for Pant with the bat. This was the chance for him to redeem himself and he failed. Batting well and throwing away his wicket like that was criminal.

 

[Varun]

T20 hack Pant is out.

He should only stick to IPL.

Thing is I don't think he is great shakes at the IPL stuff either.

 

[kingusama92]

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

Makes sense and a win-win for them in the end.

I suppose that's the beauty of Pant. Some days it comes off and other days it doesn't look too nice.

 

[kingusama92]

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

Would be shocking if India messes up here but anything is possible. They need Jaiswal quickly to panic India a bit.

I would be more confident if Bumrah was bowling to them.

 

[Devadwal]

Jadeja gone .

Pant idiots has lost the game for india .

 

[Varun]

Need to see the next 10 overs without incident.

 

[Savak]

Choker Jadeja.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Would be shocking if India messes up here but anything is possible. They need Jaiswal quickly to panic India a bit.

I would be more confident if Bumrah was bowling to them.

Told you. It is already happening. You cannot given an inch in such a situation. You don't know how the new batsman will play.

 

[kingusama92]

Oh wow! Now things are getting interesting.

Pant gave them an opening for no reason.

 

[kingusama92]

Told you. It is already happening. You cannot given an inch in such a situation. You don't know how the new batsman will play.

You called it for sure.

100% spot on.

 

[Devadwal]

Jadeja is also done and dusted along with Rohit and Virat

 

[Ab Fan]

Utility player gone leaving team in despair.

 

[Varun]

Jadeja is also done and dusted along with Rohit and Virat

He deserves a lot more grace than those two.

 

[Devadwal]

Pressure is on so don't expect anything from Reddy and Sundar .

They can play when no one expected them to perform but expections leads to failure.

 

[pillionrider]

Ashwin >>>> Jadeja to save a test match

 

[JaDed]

Really need proper test cricket survival

 

[Devadwal]

He deserves a lot more grace than those two.

No one deserve anything .they don't do any favour by playing for india.

They get paid for it.

 

[KingLiton]

only 29 more overs to defend, reddy faced 189 balls in 1st innings so india got this

 

[Varun]

Nitish Reddy's lowest test score is 38 lol. I doubt Rohit has scored that much in this entire series.

 

[JaDed]

Jadeja is also done and dusted along with Rohit and Virat

Who will be the replacement though, does bowl well at times.
In white ball Axar is definitely better.

 

[Devadwal]

And its perfect time for some nagin fans to make a entry in this thread .as expected

 

[JaDed]

Hoping Jaiswal shows maturity

 

[pillionrider]

I suddenly got this feeling that Ashwin has an alt account here. Anyone else think this is possible

 

[jnaveen1980]

India's hopes lie with 21 year old & 23 year old

 

[Devadwal]

Who will be the replacement though, does bowl well at times.
In white ball Axar is definitely better.

Jadeja bowling is useless these day's

 

[kingusama92]

Oh man.

The game is really on now.

 

[KingLiton]

Nitish Reddy's lowest test score is 38 lol. I doubt Rohit has scored that much in this entire series.

Varun's curse

 

[pillionrider]

Yeah. Felt they'd drawn out Nitish heroics a bit too much. As expected he fails

 

[JaDed]

Man Pant what have you done, this was an easy draw

 

[Devadwal]

Pressure is on so don't expect anything from Reddy and Sundar .

They can play when no one expected them to perform but expections leads to failure.

Told you .

 

[Varun]

Unless Sundar and Bumrah can manage something, we're finished.

 

[Devadwal]

Unless Sundar and Bumrah can manage something, we're finished.

We were finsihed when Pant had a brainfade .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Unless Sundar and Bumrah can manage something, we're finished.

Come on guys. That is too much to expect. Imagine the pressure with just 3 tailenders behind them. Focus on the idiots who had 10 wickets to come and still choked

 

[JaDed]

We were finsihed when Pant had a brainfade .

For the second time in the same match lol

 

[kingusama92]

Jaiswal needs to take as much of the strike as possible now. Just kill the momentum of the next 4-5 overs.

 

[Varun]

Hope Rishabh is feeling good about himself in the dressing room.

 

[KingLiton]

Sundar faced 162 in the 1st Innings also Jaiswal is set, this pair can see them through

 

[Devadwal]

Jaiswal firm the strike yaar .no need to take the single

 

[JaDed]

So surprising Nitish got out to Lyon, man Lyon must love the two left handers at crease

 

[mango_bite77]

Rishab played rubbish short in both innings . Absolutely careless

 

[pillionrider]

Cummins' cowardly decision to bat on meaninglessly looking better and better now

 

[KingLiton]

After Rohit & King retires, Jaiswel should be captain

 

[Devadwal]

Cummins' cowardly decision to bat on meaninglessly looking better and better now

All thanks to idiots pant.

Match was going nicely untill that brainfade .

 

[Varun]

After Rohit & King retires, Jaiswel should be captain

Stop calling him King. He's a Jack at best.

 

[JaDed]

Stop calling him King. He's a Jack at best.

The guy’s forum name is KingLiton he probably is mocking Kohli , if Kohli was king for him that would be his name

 

[Devadwal]

@Rajdeep where are you?

How's the Josh?

 

[Devadwal]

Jaiswal doing what has pant did.

Unbelievable, there is no game awarenes .

 

[KingLiton]

Stop calling him King. He's a Jack at best.

Stop being jelly bro. He scored both in cricket and life

 

[kingusama92]

Jaiswal needs to relax a bit. No need to throw the bat at all.

 

[psyoptica]

India getting saved by the bell this whole series.

 

[pillionrider]

All thanks to idiots pant.

Match was going nicely untill that brainfade .

I really don't think of it is a brainfade. People like him need to score runs or they'll die lol. Normally he tries to score off good balls. I won't be faulting him for trying to thrash a rubbish ball. Looks like I'm in a minority though

 

[psyoptica]

Jaiswal has ridden his luck far too long

 

[Hitman]

If only the couple of chronic underperformers in our line up occupied the crease for 2 hours each.

 

[FearlessRoar]

It seemed like Rishabh Pant would play a heroic innings today, but then it was the same mediocre approach and shot selection. Gavaskar will now take his class again lol

 

[JaDed]

If only the couple of chronic underperformers in our line up occupied the crease for 2 hours each.

No they will make us suffer like Dhoni did..Can’t believe Gill has to sit out for Rohit

 

[KingLiton]

India need 208 runs to win or 27 overs to survive. Australia needs 4 wickets to win. Last two test India won at the MCG

 

[Hitman]

Stop calling him King. He's a Jack at best.

Either that, or Queen.

 

[pillionrider]

Jaiswal needs to relax a bit. No need to throw the bat at all.

Konstas has been sledging him. A few overs back Jaiswal stopped the game till Konstas kept quiet while the bowler was getting ready to bowl. He tried to hit Konstas at sillypoint off Lyon and now looks like he's trying to kill him lol. Makes the next test and Konstas vs the whole Indian team an exciting prospect

 

[KingLiton]

Gavaskar isn't half the batsman that Pant is, Pant is feared by Australia. Gavaskar never won a series in oz

 

[Hitman]

No they will make us suffer like Dhoni did..Can’t believe Gill has to sit out for Rohit

Forget Gill, I'm pretty sure Paaji and Dada too can score more runs at their age than Rohit and Kohli.

 

[Devadwal]

If you can't manage the some sledging than don't deserve to Play at highest order.

This is nothing compared to australia used to do in early 2000s and late 90s

 

[pillionrider]

He's managing well so far.

Gotta love the younger players in Test cricket! Always add new flavour to the game.

From what I hear, the Aussies were at their worst during Ian Chappell's captaincy tenure (1970-1975), and haven't changed since.

 

[Devadwal]

I really don't think of it is a brainfade. People like him need to score runs or they'll die lol. Normally he tries to score off good balls. I won't be faulting him for trying to thrash a rubbish ball. Looks like I'm in a minority though

Set batsmen should not throw his wicket away. That's the basics understanding of cricket .

You can't expect upcoming batsman to play like exactly same Way

 

[Varun]

82* Jaiswal

Don't get run out now.

 

[kingusama92]

Jaiswal is still looking good here.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

At this moment sundar has better test avg than kohli lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

MCG was fortress for India. Rohit comes and changed it.

 

[Devadwal]

25 over left . Too much time for Australia to take remaining four wickets

A easy win coming up for them .

Pant

 

[KingLiton]

Only 15 overs to be bowled should shake hands and prepare for the next match.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

after india won its first BGT in 1979/80, Australia has never won it 3 times in a row where india for the last 4 series have won it, wow thats impressive

 

[KingLiton]

Man of the match is between Jaiswel & Bumrah

 

[Devadwal]

24 over left and but im sure australia will allowed to bowl after allocated time period if these over will be not completed.

You can bookmark this .

 

[Devadwal]

Jaiswal no need to play every ball that's too way outside the off stump.

 

[jnaveen1980]

WHy are they talking about Abdulla shafique here lol

 

[Varun]

Tremendous from Jaiswal so far regardless of what happens.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Tremendous from Jaiswal so far regardless of what happens.

Unlike the clown seniors who just had to "not play" a shot. Couldn't resist. Almost 3 wickets were lose due to reckless shots

 

[Varun]

after india won its first BGT in 1979/80, Australia has never won it 3 times in a row where india for the last 4 series have won it, wow thats impressive

Australia have a better shot beating us in India with some no name Todd Murphy / Steven O Keefe type spinner than in Australia.

 

[Devadwal]

23 over left
