Indians turning against Ashwin haha.

If he didn't do what he did yesterday, game was long gone. If catches were taken, would have finished Aussies long time back.

Even when not at his best, he manages to make a mark.

I know he's your favorite player, SIF, and both of you are also from the same region in India (?), but admit it, he's never going to be an ATG and isn't as good as Kumble at home. I will be respectful and say nothing about his overseas performances.

Now that the Ashwin myth has been broken, I will no longer highlight his flaws. He's fallen from future-ATG level to the level of a good test player and that is where he belongs.

Yes bhai. He has fallen and myth is broken.

Thanks. :D
 
If Ishant is to bowl 14 overs in a Test, out of 200; I think it's better to play Pandeya or Mishra.
 
Yadav has been GUN in this test.

Didn't look great yesterday but today he was so good.

And first innings he was very good.

lmao.

We either winning or losing this.

99% losing.

Draw chance is 0%.

Winning chance is zero too. I don't see Kohli chasing this down by himself. The rest don't have the experience, talent or composure to support Kohli in a chase like this. That's if Kohli doesn't get out cheaply himself
 
If Australia get India out cheaply again, it will be the biggest phainta ever.

If India manage to score 300, then all those missed chances and umpiring errors will come back to haunt us.
 
AUS tail doesn't bat like this - here, they are trying to keep IND on field as much as possible.
 
Dropped catches and atrocious umpiring makes sure that India chase 150 more than they should have.

No big deal. :kohli
 
Around 50 overs left today; light permitting, around 58. IND has to be worst at 180/3 by day end for any realistic hope.

Don't blame umpiring bro. We have ourselves to blame. We deserve to lose this one. And perhaps it's good thing as well. We will get a heads up. And we can still win perhaps if all our players still play their best of cricket.

Exactly.

Jadeja's parents must be so proud.

They definitely will; he's the best spinner in all of India. Of course, Ashwin's parents will probably disown him if Lyon and Starc keep smashing his pies for six over the course of this series but I believe in him. He'll be back and will finally reclaim his spot as the #2 spinner in the world.

No at most 2. 3 would mean we are almost into tail. With 4 down comes Saha and Ashwin
 
Ashwin leaks too many runs for a frontline spinner. If he is not in his mood he leaks runs and leaks big

This pitch has nothing in it for the bowlers, India could chase this.

There is plenty in it for the bowlers, they just need to know where to bowl. India didn't bowl well this morning and even then they created plenty of chances.

Add scoreboard pressure and it's going to take a small miracle for India to get near this.
 
MMHS said:
Then, they have to drop Yadav guy for a specialist bowler. On a decent wicket, if one of the 3 bowlers has a bad day, Aussies will race at 5+ rate.

I doubt any other bowler in Indian squad could have done much better than Jayant on this pitch.

Yasir's last few tours seem to have taken a mental toll here. :))

Jayant yadav is a disgrace for a spinner. He bowls no balls, full tosses all the time. He just loops it with no body behind the ball

OMG...in that case, we should file a police complaint to keep an eye on the parents of the world's 4th best spinner.

If that happens, Jaddu's parents would be EVEN more prouder.
 
This Indian side usually revolve around the performance of Virat Kohli. He is single handedly winning matches for India but when he fails the whole batting line up looks miserable. I thinks some twists are yet to come in this match. Hoping for a fighting chase.
 
India not the only one who's going to take a big L this week.

NZ 49/5

SA bowlers on fire.

It's Kohli and Ashwin.

India have little chance of winning matches if both fail.

To be fair its no shame to be #2nd best behind the great mystery spin, Stephen Norman John O'Keefe

Need to be 100/0 to stand a chance. And an outside on at that.
 
This match is a failure for Ashwin.

In another day, he would have completed a 5fer yesterday itself but its clear he has issues (injury or practice or whatever) which he needs to sort out.

Let's hope Kohli doesn't have a failure too.
 
All I want now is some fight. Score 350, and then win the next 3 games. :kohli
 
Guys how many will Ind score?

My prediction 150 with getting all out today itself.

Rahane and saha will again fail so miserably that rahane will take a break from cricket like nic maddinson took after he failed miserably for aus

I am going for the broke and will say 350.

If the target was 350, then they would have scored 300.

Either that will happen or we will collapse in a humiliating way.

God I hope you never let the Indians live this down :))

Should have a PP smiley to troll Indians with :))

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.
 
Feel yesterday when we lost 3 wickcets in a jiffy we should had gone slow,wonder if management(Kohli) panicked and asked everyone to do what Starc did which backfired again.

If he takes Kohli out for another duck in the second innings, I'll make this my avatar for the duration of this series.

U r rahane predictions ? Ashwin predictions for the rest of series? Can rahane survive into next test?
 
We don't deserve to win after being bundled out for 105.

But we do if we can somehow, miraculously chase 441.

Go figure.
