India totally lost the plot when they got over emotional and started sledging Johnson !

They were on Top, there was no need to do that. And then they kept bowling short at him when he's never had problems playing the short ball.

Now Australia are right back in it.

Thats the problem with India, they dont know how to sledge properly they just end up shooting themselves in the foot ive seen this happen so many times

Someone need to tell Dhoni Johno got a 123* in Cape Town and 96* in Johannesburg against Steyn and co so bowling short to him was a rubbish idea.

Dhoni as the captain should have told the players to cool down.

No....now they have almost finished us unless someone does a miracle from our side.
 
its ok lets relax and see how it folds up if someone steps up in 3rd innings then 4th innings is going to be really tough here as ground is cracking up a little.
 
MJ is a good batsman. Those were some crisp shots, enjoyed watching them.

Counter-attack reminded me of Jadeja's inning in England last tour. Similar kind of brutal and clean striking.
 
Worryingly for India, Johnson has never made this many in a Test innings and then been dismissed. Top scores 123*, 96*, 92*, and today
 
Greta session really, well the whole match(and series) has been pretty crazy with the momentum swings.

No surprise yadav in the wickets, been banging on about him since that tour here 3 years ago, indian selectors are clueless when it comes to their quicks i know he has had some injuries but still he has rarely been picked him even when fit in those 3 years.

Why would I be enjoying it?

Its painful yaar.

Yaar Dhoni Test captaincy and Pace bowlers never going to work together so you better adjust and learn to enjoy opposition innings instead of burning your calories. Let me you an example i enjoy Sangakara against Pakistan in test cricket because it's a mission impossible get him out against Pakistan :p
 
I thought yesterday that it will be good for us if We don't give aus more than 80 runs lead but now it seems they will get 200+ lead :(

Right on outstanding session of cricket. A great start by us and a brutal counter attack by the Aussies, the match is beautifully poised. Indian members seem to be affected by Pak fans, too much wrist slitting going on way early into the game. Unless Aussies build a substantial lead Batting won't be easy on the 4th innings #BleedBlue

Frustrating part was that we started this session so well.

Then it derailed.

I guess you are right.

No point getting frustrated by it.

We have to accept our mediocrity in the pace department (not that I didn't).

1. You are right but who is going to get these 4 wickets?

2. How much will our lower order score? Phattu Rohit is useless.

All these matter.

Plus with this bowling, if the pitch doesn't turn in 4th innings, Aussies can chase even 400-500 to be really honest.
 
Why are people still blaming MSD ? He backed the Indian pacers, didn't he ? Its not his fault that these bowlers are braindead.

Agreed match is shaping up as another classic, it really could go anywhere from here.

India just need to remember that they are still in the lead and that we have bowlers like starc making footmarks for ashwin bowling last.

250 + would be a very difficult chase i would imagine.

SIF you are good poster mate we just don't see eye to eye when it comes to believing in our boys, and that's fine we can agree to disagree.

It was brilliant batting from MJ and all his shots came off.

The wicket too is great for batting. Except for Hazelwood and Umesh, all pacers have found it tough.

I just can't figure out after all these years what Dhoni think as a Test captain?

Its all a matter of one wicket bro. If you think that the other 3 can handle pace and bounce the way MJ did, then good luck to Aussies, they deserve these runs.

He got too carried away with his successful Lord's strategy. English batsmen were sitting ducks against bounce, but Aussies kill it. A lesson Dhoni must have learnt the harsh way now.

But his learning age is over i hope Kohli is noticing and picking these things its really going to help him as future in captain
 
The weakest Australian batting order in a long time and they'll still score 400+ against the new W's.
 
I thought Umesh Yadav was supposed to be a good phaast bowler according to the Indian hype. Why is he listed as fast medium now?

Did he magically revert back to a trundler?

He's horrible...just horrible but today I am so disappointed with our bowling that I find it hard to blame him.

If he was the main guy behind bouncers at all cost even after we were getting whacked, then well......its expected. :(

Nobody is chasing 400 on this pitch.

Gabba never shuts the bowlers out of the match, there will plenty of help come day 5.
Click to expand...

Nobody chases 450 in Joberg too but we almost lost against Saffers. Its called talent.

Does it spin in Gabba on 4th 5th day?

Then we have genuine hope. Ashwin is bowling well actually (apart from bowling to Smith of course :)

Bro, I know you too are one.

Hopefully we do something out there.

If you don't mind, can I ask you one thing:

Why don't you come and take part in match thread discussions like what you are doing now instead of fun filled trolling. This forum would do great with serious discussions.

BT is a certified one :p we should have weekly troll award i bet FC and BT will compete every week
 
Mitch has lost his touch since lunch but he can't seem to get himself out but he's giving it a hell of a shot.
 
Aus to declare at 620 runs, then India sets up a target of 10 or 20 runs which they chase down in 3 overs on the last day, you heard it here first folks......
 
aussies will take 100 plus lead now and india batsman will be bowled out under pressure for 200 odd and warner will smash to victory at end of day 4
 
Very simple.

Bring spinners in and hope for wickets.

No point with giving easy runs.

Or maybe spinner-economical pacer combo.

To be honest, I don't see much difference at all.

Its some of the words that are different right. The concepts of grammar and stuff are same in Urdu as in Hindi right?

Urdu is a mixture of few languages , that was developed so that different people from different backgrounds can converse , I think in army camps during olden days .

There is one unique feature of Urdu though.

You see in all languages prose was developed first , and then poetry , in case of Urdu it was poetry , then prose.

There is a lot of difference credit to Just Crazy for getting it right most people in India wouldn't be able to speak Hindi or Urdu as such.
 
One good thing that will come out of this loss; No_Hot Sharma will again flop the 2nd innings and we will never hear from him again in the test side.......

Exactly that's the reason Shayari is so famous because of its history in India here Javed Akhtar on tata sky is reciting and explaining many Shayaris
