No Sandeep, I didn't enjoy it yesterday either.

This Test is as bad as T20: the bowlers are just cannon fodder. It's really boring.

Rahul played likr a total hack. Not even Shami would have played like that.

Flat pitch, game undet control and the guy played lke a tailender.

He better play well in the 2nd innings. Hopefully.

Does he usually play aggressively like this? i.e. hack his way to 50's and maintain an average of 50

Wait until one of the two sides screws up in the next dig and match becomes "exciting".

You can then chalk it down to wonders of test cricket.
 
They were showing the replays and looks like we dropped four catches? That's ordinary

Dhoni needs to play a power game instead of trying to get those cheeky singles.
 
I had hopes that Dhoni will improve outside Asia after the last English tour, but all those hopes have evaporated now.

Captain Dhoni needs to be kicked out of Test Team.
 
Aussies are poor with their post-appeal reactions. They act as if they have been robbed by the umpire every single time.
 
Ok Kohli my Boi load the gun, time to start firing get as close to the Aussie target........
 
Another wicket and it will be back to Australia day despite that great partnership
 
kv: "4/25. At this point you have to think the Indian team are challenging themselves to outdo the last catastrophe as they walk out to bat. "
 
THIS is SO GODAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNN DEPRESSING.

We could be 400/2 and still we won't feel safe in a Test match.

Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhh
 
I enjoyed the fall of wickets. Nothing better than watching chotta God counter-attacking. :kohli
 
Great innings.

Johnson needed that. Hopefully he and Rhino are pumped for day 5

T20's aren't bad, but yes this Test is.

That's the problem with Tests, when it's like this it's pointless and a torture for bowlers.

In T20 if par score is 200, a bowler can win by going at 7s or 8s and pick a crucial wicket and the match itself can be a thriller. That's the difference.
 
Captain Fool hands the advantage back to Australia. What an embarrassment it has become to see him lead us. Can't keep, can't bat and makes zero contribution as a captain. Drop him from the next test itself
 
Damn why does Kohli have to throw away his wicket at end of day?:facepalm:

Still a decent position but it'll go downhill from here :(

I thought you liked high strike rates and lots of shots for 4s/6s? Two days still left in this test
 
While comparing with Virat, Manjrekar just called Rahane's attitude to be that of a weak, middle class person. :facepalm:

Rahane's knock was more impressive than Kohli's imo. He even overtook him quite easily, scoring 140 odd at a SR of 85 is very impressive.

I forgot to mention, it was about how both of them carried themselves in that post-day interview, not their batting.

I don't have a preference for any type of SR.

It's a theoretically optimal way of playing in limited overs cricket, but that's not necessarily true in Tests.

My opinions aren't because I think high SR entertains me, I think it's what works on batting friendly wickets. In Tests, these pitches tend to lack balance between bat and ball, and until recently with teams scoring so fast, these pitches almost always lead to bore draws where there is no contest between bat and ball. In limited overs, there is always a contest between bat and ball, whether the par score is 150 or 350.

I thought he was the one who really took it up to us at the start. Top innings.
