Fitness is such a worry with our whole team, they both looked pretty out of it this session and got out to lazy shots.

India just look fitter with bat and ball in this heat.

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.

Yeah I heard that....read that somewhere...

Yes , that is the reason , why Urdu is a language that is made for poetry.

Look at the word " Jigar " , how poets have used that , in English it would mean Liver

" Naazar ke samne Jigar ke paasss " A song from Ashiqui .

In English it would mean " In my sight , close to my liver " :))
 
if they can clean up the tail in the next 4-5 overs atleast they can extend the game for a bit i don't see india setting a challenging target

:)) . English poetry imo is less philosophical more of a motivation.
 
What an inept performance by India! Don't play tests if you're not interested! ! Shame on dhoni
 
i dont understand why indian players tend to lose interest in the middle of somewhere aussies were knackered on the 1st day but came back took the initiative away in the 2nd day
 
Have to say some pretty filthy bowling by the Indians after getting rid of Mitch Starc early.

It's funny, they completely lost their way after Pieces wicket. They should have really finished it with a lead of 80+ tbh.
 
Have to give credit to the Aussies for cashing in.

Correction, it was after Haddins wicket*

In the second game, yeah they did let it get away. First game we were bossing it and gave them a sniff with a third innings collapse.

What are others doing?Specially phaast Aaron.What's the use of being phaast if you can't even knock out the new tail?

nothing more frustrating than 94/5 to 680-8 and conceding the series

Just have to credit Baz for that, he only offered up 1 chance before 250 odd (which should have been taken). And even then, we probably had a chance of winning the game after having India 3 down before Kohli nicked the ball and wasn't given.

with all credit still india should have won the match but they gave up and thus shows they don't really care about overseas success

McCullum, Watling and Neesham aren't tailenders, the game wasn't played at the Gabba either.
 
India will struggle to score 200 in the 2nd innings. Wheels have come off. Dhoni special. We're done for the series
 
The reason why I hate dhoni. He us unfit for away tests and still continues to captain shamelessly. He should just hand it over to kohli and walk away

still it was lunch of day3 and nzl was like 250 behind we expect a team to win it from there

Not when you have an attack of Shami, Ishant and Zaheer, the attack India have here in Aus is much better than that one.
 
Scoring rate is pretty high, less than 100 overs and Auses are 440...

Dhoni lost the plot as he has done many times on road!!

Now after pacers got owned so bad, Dhoni took a corrective action of blocking one end with a spinner.

Its like when he has to use pacers instead of spinners, he uses spinners.
And when he has to use spinners (one end) instead of full pacers, he uses pacers from both ends.

Everything ulta pulta with him.
 
How the hell do they score runs so fast ? Even tailenders are going at a SR of 100+. Are the Indians bowling that bad ?
 
No need to think much for indian fans here..even if india sets a target of 350 its impossible for the bowlers to take 10 wickets in second innings..they just doesnt have those skill sets in them
 
Dhawan will get out to his casual 20 as per usual, Vijay I dont expect him to score this time. Kholi really needs to step up and bat, make a good score then this loss wouldnt be that bad.

Why aussies have put their foot of the accelerator? What the point in playging slow now?

Because they want to dish some phainta after tea too to make indians tired in the field even if they dont get a big lead. 7 sessions left and a 100+ lead here means india can say good bye to any hope of winning or drawing the test
 
What a welcome to Dhoni the test captain :))), he is starting off where he left off last on an overseas tour...
 
Lol I meant to say black thunder, not blank thunder, but some typos sounds even better than actual intended word.
