I mean I wasn't joking when I predicted 15+ wickets for the series but I expect 2-3 an innings at an average of about 30.

That was amazing.

Indian just couldn't pick his ELITE variations.

His one that doesn't turn is so hard to pick because his one that doesn't turn the other way is bowled with an indistinguishable action.

Moeen Ali's feat doesn't seem as special anymore. Dean Elgar still can still claim that he bowled the best spell to India though.
 
Australia logic

Get whitewashed by transitioning Sri Lanka

Beat in form no.1 India

Even if this match is a flue, terrible performance by India
 
This match is like Vijender Singh landing a punch on Mike Tyson.

Doesn't mean much. :kohli

Pakistan > India. For those that haven't figured it out yet.

U r rahane predictions ? Ashwin predictions for the rest of series? Can rahane survive into next test?

Ashwin has to sort out some accuracy issues. Injury issues is impossible to sort out now.

He will come back fine imho but I don't think he has been at his best for a long time now. Will have his good and bad moments throughout the series.

Even after 4 dropped catches of 2 different bats and not bowling anywhere close to his best, he is still India's highest wicket taker this test. Testament to his quality.

Rahane I am not sure. If the track is flattish spin, then he may score. The reason why I don't back Rahane during failures is because of skill issue. If he had that, I would back him through his failures too.

This must be second to Amla scoring a 120 in a game somewhere.

South Africa are chokers, have done nothing in Icc tournaments. But unlike India, we have won series in Australia, as well as in India, while India have never beaten us at home :kohli
 
It hurts my eyes to read "Bilal7" so many times in the thread. Can you guys please stop feeding the troll? :(

So much for beating us in 1 series that too marred by match fixing
 
I would still say that India are ahead of Pakistan.

Pakistan batting lacks the flare. Still many loop holes and YK and misbah leaving only makes matters worse.

They're not going anywhere and even at 40, play spin better than this entire Indian side combined.
 
I agre though that India will probably get 350. That first innings was just a freak accident and there is no way that Pujara, Kohli, et all will get dismissed for a low score for the second time in a match, at home.
 
Hmmm, I would have started with O'Keefe against two right handers but Lyon is looking pretty good in this over.

Pfffft. Misbah has another five years left in him.
 
See how lyon is bowling. Out side of stump and turning big but ashwin bowls middle stump line which is very easy to work to legside

Selectors never rated him so constantly picked the likes of Doherty ahead.

Was it a political thing,Otherwise its interesting that he wasnt picked despite being so much better than his competition

Ashwin and Lyon are very different types of spinners so they will never bowl the same lines. Ashwin will always bowl straighter than Lyon because that brings the carrom ball into play.

O'Keefe immediately showing Jadeja what he should have been doing all along, just bowl straight and try to hit the stumps.
 
Kumble was not only good/attacking on Indian pitches, he was also economical and coming on & on throughout the innings. If he had a support like Jadeja, boy he would have made India unbeatable at home (Was still unbeatable anyhow in those times). Venkatapathy Raju was the best companion to him, until Harbhajan (who overshadowed him a bit, but didn't last enough anyhow). Kumble was blamed for overseas performances, but the reality was he would always ready to support the pacers & do the best shielding job (economical job), but he was expected to attack (which he couldn't). The problem was the pacers and the batting (dependent on Sachin and later Dravid).

Ashwin is a confused sperm. He is lying between Kumble & Warne/Murali. For him to attack so much & try so many variations, he has to spin (revolutions) to the ball a lot more, and he has to be accurate/have more control and also deceive a bit more. Jadeja may well be picked ahead in overseas tests (Ashwin is not consistent with the bat either!)
 
Unbelievable.

Doesn't even get fully in front.

O keefe just bowled a straight one which could have been smothered.

With this kind of batting, O keefe is gonna get an 8fer.

Australia got fully forward or backward with the bat.

Truly shameful by Indian bats.
 
Haha. Vijay on u r bike mate.

So soft. He takes it too casually either be batting or fielding.
 
Okeefe getting wickets without even spinning the ball.

This match will be over today itself.
 
India batting like we thought Australia would.

If he hasn't hit it, this is out.

I think basically the selectors looked at him and saw what he did with the ball and then thought he was fluking it and after eight or so years finally accepted that he's probably no fluke.
 
Shastri saying "the only issue is the height" :))

You think it's going underneath the stumps or something? What an idiot :)):)):))
 
This is what I have been lamenting all day.

You just can't bat like this and then cry about the pitch and expect bowlers to clean up opposition when they are being so disciplined.

Atrocious man....I have no words to describe this batting.

Can't even get fully forward.
 
Can India even bat out whole day? This is disgraceful. I can only wonder what would happen if they tour outside Asia
 
The commentator laying down the smackdown on K.L. Rahul for that review.

Well the bowling wasnt great either.Lyon has clearly outbowled Ash,as has O Keefe done to Jaddu
 
And now we have lost our reviews inside 6 overs.
It's like we are destined to lose this match, nothing can stop it.
 
Now watch Kohli being given out wrongly, and he won't have a review left because the openers wasted it.
 
Aus are bowling flat and fast. No time to adjust with variable bounce.

You don't need to spin the ball to get wickets here. Aus spinners have out bowled Indians.
 
Bradmans baap putting on a masterclass.

Take notes Bradman :Ashwin
 
@folks

What I meant was that YK and Misbah probably won't play too many series in the future. Thinking long term here.

Misbah already hinted that he may retire after their next assignment. YK's form is not getting any better and infact he is mentoring a PSL side which means he isnt practicing. I have this feeling that neither of them will wish to play beyond 2017.
