Also Kohli should be fulltime Captain.

Great test cricket by both teams
 
Australia will be disappointed not to win from here... pitch turning miles only 3 wickets remaining...
 
Vijay stupidity - Got too nervous for no reason...I mean nervous 90s is one thing but turning into a tailender is another
Rohit
Saha
Kohli

Bar Rohit, all the rest batted brilliantly but screwed up.

Kohli..oh God....this was a Brain Lara inings yaar.

So where are all the cheerleaders for 4 bowlers and 7th batsman as in Rohit?

Damn.

Its so frustrating.

Ashwin inspires more confidence in batting alone.

This was stupid team selection and batting was only reason we fought.Shouldnt have to do so much if we played 5 bowlers
 
Lyon has been outstanding. He was under pressure to guide them to victory and was almost granted he will play a big part. Well bowled

Yes.

So true bro.

But if I were brutally honest, whenever Ashwin has come in ODIs where we should never lose wickets, he got out first ball.

First ball duck to Ajmal in the 3rd ODI.
First ball duck to Herath in the tri series final in WI.
First ball duck to Mendis in last ODI which Kohli and Axar finished.

Ashwin has potential but just a gut feeling. Maybe I am being too harsh.

Sick sick sick selection.

Idiots these management were.

Rohit should NEVER be picked again. How he inspires confidence in ANYONE is beyond me.

Clarke most likely out of the series. India have a good chance if they keep playing this sort of cricket I reckon. Not winning the series but of putting up a solid performance.
 
Lyon bowling well now shows how well Vijay and Kohli were playing him.True retards all others,Dhawan needs to be moved down.
 
it reminds me of the famous chennai test match vs PAK how india fell apart after sachin's epic 130

Brisbane is the key. Can't afford to lose momentum there.
 
That's 8 down. 2 to go for the Aussies now. Brilliant comeback. Whattay game.
 
Such a heart break really.Reminds me of 90's when Sachin used to drag the team and get out.
 
Well Can't go for the win anymore. Block and salvage a draw

That was hell of a test match.

I don't even know which team to support at this point.

Kohli will be gutted for coming this close.

And knives will be drawn out again.

But I feel he did all he could with clueless Rohit.

Had Saha stayed a bit, it was probably all over for Australia.
 
If Saha and Shami are swinging away on Kohli's orders, then I feel Kohli's captaincy has been a bit over-aggressive. They needed around 65 runs in 17-18 overs when Saha was at the crease. Playing normal level headed cricket would have taken India home. But still, an absolutely magnificent innings from Kohli. He is a boss player.
 
14 man Australia beat 11 man India.

4 key wrong decisions againist India 1 againist Australia in this test match.

DRS or no DRS umpires cant be incompetent.

Had he won the game for India single handily, this knock would have gone down in the history books as one of the best ever imo.

ODIs is different.Hes totally different in Tests.did well even when all were falling in England.

I see no reason why Rohit is preferred.If it was a reliable batsmen,then yes you could play 4 bowlers,but Rohit?
 
Karan can bat, only if counter attacking.. not good in defending. . think he has a century in recent Devdar trophy..
