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?

That bugger must be chased off from Australian shores.

Seriously.

I am so tired of him.
 
^one of the best knocks no doubt, among the best ever is debatable. I haven't seen enough tons to say it with confidence, but it would take some beating..
 
It was well played as usual had a few decisions go against the Indians, I guess this is normal when playing in Australia. Onto the next test match they need to seriously consider having Yadav into the lineup and also bring in Ashwin. If Dhoni doesnt play the better but we all know that is not going to happen.
 
What the hell is Rohit doing in the team whole time Vijay and Kohli didn't defend it like that.Aaron doing it like that again.

Umpiring was shabby for both teams:out:
 
Great test played by both teams. Hopefully, we see cricket with similar intensity in the next 3 as well.
 
Umpiring was rubbish but its our own fault at DRS plus decisions went in Ind's favor too.
 
Brilliant test match cricket.

Feel for Kohli.

Australia did well to win this.

Nothing beats this match. UPs and downs.

Amazing.

One of the best in 4th inning I have seen.
 
Great test produced by both teams here. Kohli could have settled for a tame draw but kept going for for win. Great from Clarke to give this kind of declaration. This makes it test cricket worthwhile to watch.
 
Yes!

Great bowling by Gazza this match.

Well done to India and especially Kohli for playing part in such a great test match
 
Poor Kohli, he must be wondering what he needs to do to win a match outside India. He has given it all, but the collective team effort fell short.

Congrats Oz! Amazing game.

Commiserations to India. 4-0 is still on.

I think if they can fight like this then series core is immaterial for neutrals. You get to watch a fascinating series. Problem is , they will simply lose the next test because Aus is too strong in that venue. Basically, series will become dull because Indians will simply surrender if they lose it badly which they are likely to do in the next venue.
 
Couldn't even draw a match on one of the flattest decks in the world. :mv

The Pakistanis are back lol and some of the Indians have fled away lol. The good indian posters don't run away unlike the most hated ones lol
 
Have to hand it to Kohli for making a fight off it. Having said that I still personally feel that India are a one man team ie Kohli and ofcourse dhoni. The others are just not consistent enough and don't put their hands up very often. Getting Kohli early is half the battle won
 
Great match, bad luck to india.

Have to stick with kohli now as leader surely?

India showed more fight in the last few days than they did on the whole tour to england, kohli can be a *****ly bloke but he wears his heart on his sleeve and cares deeply about test cricket ( home or away ) india need much more of that.

Not really we started off that tour well by drawing and then winning a test on what was obviously doctored to be a green mamba at Lord's.
 
Congrats Aus on the win. Well played to India as well. All in all a great game of Test cricket. Hats off!

Kohli gives credit to Lyon and Aussies much better at presentation than Dhoni.
 
Indian's inability to play overseas is exaggerated, they've played well in NZ and SA recently and have no put up a great fight in Aus.
 
There are two winners here: Australia and Test cricket.

Also, Virat Kohli deserves every compliment and more. Up and coming batsmen should look up to him.
