Australia vs India | 4th Test | Sydney | Jan 3-7, 2019 | Day 1 Thread

We can all behave like adults without name calling and personal remarks. Is it too much to expect?

Just Stating facts as they are. There is no name calling as you are a troll. You should be the last person to talk about " behaving like adults" ... every reputed poster here will tell you that.
 
Did you forget how Pak got defeated after winning the toss ,last match against a team without ABD,Mornie and Philander?

That was because of our captain and bad batting. Pakistan will be back once those holes are plugged. Anyway, this thread is about India-Australia.
 
Are you expecting test cricket to be like last 10 overs of ODI cricket?

Lol, I have been watching the game from beginning but missed all three wickets in live action. Test cricket is more fun when there are more wickets. First two games were good.

It might be a thread but your point doesn't hold well here same argument can be done for Kohli's selection blunder in 2nd test.
 
Things like logic don't apply to people like aman and shandarchowka.
These guys are like broken records. However, nothing will happen to India. And IF they go on and win this series, scoreboard will show, India won BG tropy in Australia, no ifs and buts. And that's the only thing which matters and not what some anonymous folks say about Aus missing 2 cheats!

Against a weak Australian team missing two key players. You guys are unable to grasp that at all.

Brother, if you want experience some fun then you should be watching Bangladesh T20 league which is a showcase of quality cricket. But if you just want to experience fun in Test Cricket then you can rewatch the Bangladesh test series in Windies. You would see 10 wickets falling for about 44 runs. A lot of fun will be experience in that. :vk2
 
Just like sa are without ab and morkel. Plus philander in the first test. Oops. Why am i talking sense here.

You do realise that Morkel has retired while Warner and Smith were at their prime?

Yeah right. Last I checked AB and Morkel have retired and not active players. Just like how you can't blame India's losses on Sachin and Dravid retiring.

Yeah been watching some BBL highlights actually. I love watching Chris Lynn play.

lol We don't care man, Pak winning the test in Windies without Viv and Malcom Marshall(not cheaters) is still always highlighted in multiple threads so yeah don't care just want to win.

Lol. Dravid and Sachin retired 5-6 years ago, while AB and Morkel retired like 3 months ago. Try again.

Plus Ambrose playing his debut series.
 
Are Pakistani posters trying to say retirement is ok but cheating is not and they should be available to play?So confusing how things are at times..
 
Aus will take 260/5 today. That can end with 290-300 all out.

Yes domestic T20 leagues is where the real quality cricket is to be seen. Bangladesh also has a lot of talent and depth in T20 format which is reason behind the success of Bangladesh T20 league.

Well considering our record of bans of quality players at their prime, Yes. With the likes of Sharjeel Khan, Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif, Pakistan team would have been formidable.
 
Score is stuck at 195-3, i can just smell a Rahane wicket here.

Pujara... I dont think he will get out today

True, sorry to know but please take it up with PCB not to ban players anymore although I don't think they really wanted to ban Butt Asif and Amir.
 
Rahane used to average in late 40s in his pomp, now he is barely averaging above 40.
 
Looks like Pujara has rediscovered his mojo. Such a great news for our batting lineup.
 
Kohli looked not totally fit to me. He is probably playing with some injury.
 
Pujara has just killed Lyon this innings.

lol, hope I've not spoken too soon...

Maybe they shouldn't have indulged in match fixing then, Aussies can't blame anyone for their loss here, no one forced those 2 to tamper with the ball. Don't want to be banned don't do illegal stuff.

While they were winning Ashes at home, that cheating was OK. Smith was Don reincarnated and what not. Once the cheats got caught, they were unfortunate! lol at the excuses.
 
Indian defeat in this match is almost out of the equation I guess! So relieved! Huge chance of winning in Australia for the first time (and in SENA countries recent past!)
 
Starc is so off color ever since his captain got banned. May be he used to draw positive energy from the skipper!
 
The success in this series lies hugely on Pujara's form! What a turnaround! (When we almost lost hopes on him and his slow SR, he improved on everything!) Pacers' performances would have just resulted in a repeat of South Africa and English tours (Partial success). Pujara made sure that India took more steps ahead... (If only India had better batting unit, we should have won both English & South African tours!)
 
If india win this series all credit goes to pujara.He played like one man army in this series two centuries and one more is coming
 
Even though there's plenty time left in the test, you just get the feeling the series is slipping away from the Aussies. Then now have to wait for another 10 overs and hope the new ball gets em a few wickets.

Nah, 300 all out will keep Aus in this game. Lots of time left and Asu simply needs to get near 300 and if they cross then it's even better.
 
Don't really know why Indian batters r batting so well. Yes Australia team has been severely weakened due to the absence of their best batters but they aren't missing any of their main bowlers. And it's needless to say that their bowling attack is world class.

Haven't watched the game yet. Just checked the score card. It seems that its another slow and low Indian type wicket.

Maybe it has something to do with the Indian batsmen playing well? Or is any pitch that India does well on an "Indian type wicket"?

Aussie bowlers have been on the field for far too long. The Aussie batters didn't even give them opportunity to recover. It's been that kind of a tour...

Good luck with that once again. Gonna prove to be as good as all your other wishes throughout this series. :srini
 
This pitch is strange . About an hour back Deano was moaning about the pitch & saying we will never win on such pitches .
228/4
 
I don't see Australia chasing anything here, under pressure to level the series. India is taking this game easily
 
Australian cricket fans must hate Pujara with a passion. If it weren't for him Aussies would be leading the series...
 
Big problem for Australia is that even if India get 350 here, kuldeep will be a handful here, Lyon is getting turn so will kuldeep and jadeja.

It's not turning that much right now and 350 is too far away.
 
When Rahane used to play ODIs, I thought he is a test specialist.

Now I am not sure what specialist is he really is?
 
Vihari needs to play the innings of his life because he is kind of playing for his position here, Sharmaji comes back he is going to out unless his performance save him and he has nothing much to show for in that department.

He is still there because of lack of middle order talent in India. Plays an occasional decent innings with a 50 and goes into a lull for the next 2 games. Average of 32 in 2 years should tell the story
 
Well deserved 100, but needs to go on and make it big here as he is the only good batsman still batting.
 
Whadda playaaa...amazing innings once again from Pujara. 3 hundreds in 4 tests in AUS. He put the argument that he's a HTB to rest for good.
 
Fantastic ton by Pujara again. He has been the difference between two sides so far.
