But bumrah is far below all top 5 pakistani bowlers. Can't compare to bowling friendly 90s with no drs, no no ball umpiring, biased umpiring, tampering era. Bumrah just can't cope with that at all.Bumrah took 8 wickets. 12 wickets were taken by others. Two of them debutants picking 5 wickets between them. Sundar playing a test match after 3 years picked 2 wickets. Siraj was hopelessly out off form. Picked 5 wickets.
Not really moot...But wtc. Aus won and nz won
India zero
So moot point.

Truly lucky to be playing in modern era vs weak batsmen.
Was being facetious. In response to some great minds here.Not really moot...
The point is to play the craft at the best of your capabilities, not just on special days.
And India plays the game best.
I agree. You are right.Finally you see some sense
India's chance to win this test skyrocketed after this comment.. Are you @Snak3eye5 btw?I expect Aussies to bounce back strongly and make it 1-1.

No. We are decent on bounce and pace. Even spin we are good once we drop oldies.Cant play swing and seam, struggle against spin, are you saying indian bats are flat track bullies?
Bumrah has the different plan just like the first test .Likely to be 1-1 after 2nd test and it will set up this test series nicely.
Idc, Travis Head > youBumrah has the different plan just like the first test .
Australia is favourite but can't ruled out india .
Everyone was thinking that australia is going to dominate india in 1st test and some of @sweep_shot @mominsaigol delusion fans were predicated an innings win for Australian after india 150 all out in first innings .
Travis Head ended India Nuff saidSteve Waughs Australia was on 16 test winning streak - India ended that streak in 2003
Australia was undefeated in Gabba for 43 years - India ended that in 2021
Australia never lost a test match in Optus Stadium - India ended that in 2024
Australia never lost a pink ball test - Can India end that streak as well in next test?
We are going to end australia any particular streaks .Steve Waughs Australia was on 16 test winning streak - India ended that streak in 2003

It may look like he may do it all the time. But to give context, the greatest pacers, Marshall, has just 10 5-fers in win when playing away. And If I recall it right, McGrath has 9. That with having ATG test team behind Marhall/McGrath. It's very hard thing to do too many times and it's harder for Bumrah due to not having ATG test team backing him.Bumrah has the different plan just like the first test .

A what point australia will think about replacing one of pacer with Boland or Neser?Aus is likely to play the same team in 2nd test. India is likely to have two changes.
A what point australia will think about replacing one of pacer with Boland or Neser?
Marsh's fitness is concerning for them so they may replace Marsh with Hardie.
I think in 3rd test.A what point australia will think about replacing one of pacer with Boland or Neser?

Yuvraj ended Australia in 2011.
Bumrah ended Australia in 2024.
Ended the tournament for the team.Says who?
After 2011, Aussies won 4 ICC trophies.
I think in 3rd test.
because they know it favors them. No one else plays it so they have a clear advantage. It is the standard working procedure for all western countries. Do everything to influence to take ensure only stuff they are good in stays and everything else goes away. Case in point, number of swimming gold medals, sports which are only popular in western countries being part of Olympics, commonwealth games, etc..Why do they even play pink ball test when it is pure lottery? I think all country except Australia have dropped that idea already.
Bancroft was among the top 2 leading run scorers in the shield for 2 seasons in a row. He had a bad start to this season but has scored a century now.From an Australian perspective i do not see any change. Will the bring Bancroft (TTF), Inglis or anyone in place of Labu who clearly is in need of a break.
That is awful wthFor all the drama India will have just one change which is basically Rohit replacing Jurel which is not exactly a positive for India.
India have upper hand in faster wickets. Not slower. We lost to nz in slower rank turners.Adelaide wicket is a bit on the slower side so I think India will have the upper hand there.
It's one thing to score vs mukku kumar. It's another to face a steaming hot bumrah, siraj shami etc.A what point australia will think about replacing one of pacer with Boland or Neser?
Marsh's fitness is concerning for them so they may replace Marsh with Hardie.
Shubman Gill is doubtful for the Practice game against Prime Minister 11 starting on November 30th. So unlikely to Play 2nd test .
No plans to fly in Shami to Australia as of now .
Rohit should go to 3 in place of DDP then. Will be most logical
India might have to wait a bit longer for the return of their regular No.3 as Shubman Gill is reportedly doubtful for the second Test match in Adelaide set to begin on December 6. India are slated to play a pink-ball practice game starting Saturday to prepare for the day-night affair at the Adelaide Oval and according to The Times of India, Gill is certain to miss that match in Canberra while there are serious doubts about his availability for the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Gill missed the series opener in Perth due to a fractured left thumb sustained while fielding in the intra-squad match in the lead-up to the series.
The right-handed batter has been advised to rest for a couple of weeks and will require some match practice before being considered for selection. "Gill was advised a 10-14 day rest by the medical specialist after suffering that injury. He won't play in the practice match on the weekend, and is doubtful at the moment for the second Test too. Let's see how much his injury has healed, how his finger feels. Even after it has healed, he'll need some quality practice before playing a Test match," a source was quoted as saying in the report.
I have never ever saw or listen this much panicking from Australian media.They Ripped Apart Australia Specially Marnus.
And this is also for pakistan fan's who are thinking Bumrah action is illegal.
One of the thing they said was. "Without even taking another wicket he can be considered as the Greatest of ALl time". This is coming from Aussies who had Lindwall, Davidson, Thomson, Lillee, McgrathI have never ever saw or listen this much panicking from Australian media.They Ripped Apart Australia Specially Marnus.
And this is also for pakistan fan's who are thinking Bumrah action is illegal.
Rohit will never play waiting game due to his fitness issues.he will simply try to slog and get out(bng 1st innigs when conditions are spicy).its better to have him as an opener and treat whatever he scores as additional runs.kl and jaiswal can try to stick then .otherwise as soon as the first wicket is gone, rohit will depart in another 5 to 10 overs for sure.Rohit should go to 3 in place of DDP then. Will be most logical
Illegal or not Travis Head smacked himI have never ever saw or listen this much panicking from Australian media.They Ripped Apart Australia Specially Marnus.

Bumrah is a way better full length ball specialist. For Australia Starc is the full length ball specialist. Often times too full.One good thing going for India is that the evidence suggests that Cummins may not have Bumrah's skill.
He was very reliant on airspeed and has lost a lot of pace over the last 5 years.
Cummins in 2017 - 58 % of balls were
above 140 kph
Cummins in 2020 - 57.4 %
2022 - 22.2 %
2023 - 24 %
2024 - 15.4 %
Those enforcer lengths won't work at his current pace.
Either needs to get back a yard or 2 of pace or send Starc into retirement and take the new ball, add some new ball skills and get Lance Morris to be the new enforcer
Cummins seems to have a weird obsession with bumrah. Too chummy. I need to see enmity. Fight.SUnil Gavaskar should keep quiet. WHy is he bringing up Bhajji controversy now. These two teams get along with each other nicely. CUmmins is one of the least confrontional Aussie captain i have ever seen from Australia.
Cummins by nature seems to be a friendly guy. There is no Mcgrath like attitude. or Johnson like attitude.Cummins seems to have a weird obsession with bumrah. Too chummy. I need to see enmity. Fight.
What is this nonsense friendly stuff. 2021 that was a brutal one. Fiery.
you should not be friendly in cricket especially being an aussieCummins by nature seems to be a friendly guy. There is no Mcgrath like attitude. or Johnson like attitude.
Lol just one Test win for Bumrah and Indians have forgotten what Rohit has ever donevadapav should not play a single match in the series as he is a panoti and a walking wicket when the ball spins or seams a bit
He led us to the worst home series loss in Indian cricket history and he was personally responsible for it.Lol just one Test win for Bumrah and Indians have forgotten what Rohit has ever done

Anyone losing a test series with Ashwin, Jadeja in the side deserves to be sacked. IN this case he even got support from Sundar. His brainless T20 hacking and 6 dropped catches in the slips plus stupid bowling rotation cost India massively.exactly he embarrased india the same way babar has embarassed us
Hope he replaces Ashwin next matchWho will Rohit replace in the next game?
What has he done?Lol just one Test win for Bumrah and Indians have forgotten what Rohit has ever done
Hope he replaces Ashwin next match
You didn't get the drift lol I want him to be benched.But Ashwin wasn’t playing in the first Test match so how could he be replaced? If Rohit comes in surely he will replace a batter I guess.
Padikkal / JurelBut Ashwin wasn’t playing in the first Test match so how could he be replaced? If Rohit comes in surely he will replace a batter I guess.
Its not what he has done. It should be never the question for any player.whats the team best combination and best chance to win the next match.dont agree with any player obsession. Any team has to be ruthless and performance oriented not an individual orientation. When Warner said he will take back his retirement and play test matches again,Cummins said "All the best for ur retirement life".Lol just one Test win for Bumrah and Indians have forgotten what Rohit has ever done
He dropped more catches than his runs and he scored less runs that santner's wickets .who can have that kind of shameful display as a captain of a team which never lost a series in 12 years.Kohli abusing him to run and save boundary after dropping a catch is epitome of our team's mediocrity.He led us to the worst home series loss in Indian cricket history and he was personally responsible for it.
