India (150 & 487/6d) beat Australia (104 & 238) by 295 runs in the 1st Test of Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25

[kron]

Starc is a better batsman than Kohli and Smith

There is doubt? Far better than kohli

 

[BouncerGuy]

Bumrah should come back and finish this inning.

 

[Ab Fan]

Starc is the best left handed batsman from both teams after Pant.

 

[kron]

Been easier to bat against older ball in both innings

Just need to survive initial onslaught.

 

[Ab Fan]

Just need to survive initial onslaught.

30 overs

 

[BouncerGuy]

100 up for Aussies. Starc is not going down without a fight here..

 

[Devadwal]

Terrific partnership

 

[Ab Fan]

Starc is also a better batsman than anyone from the Indian team that got whitewashed vs New Zealand at home 3-0 except Pant.

 

[kron]

30 overs It just shows how high the quality of bowling has been though. 2 great attacks. Can't really blame the batsmen

 

[Devadwal]

Lets give two over to Sundar

 

[Ab Fan]

Starc has more solid defense than all Indian and Australian batsman.

 

[kron]

Starc has more solid defense than all Indian and Australian batsman.

Again. There is doubt?

 

[Devadwal]

Starc has more solid defense than all Indian and Australian batsman.

Century loading for Starcy

 

[Ab Fan]

Century loading for Starcy

Starc 100*(352)
Hazelwood 15(84)

 

[BouncerGuy]

Solid stuff from Hazalewood and starc. Might not be scoring more runs but this hold is definitely gonna be helping other batters later on to learn thing or 2. KOHLI?

 

[Devadwal]

Strac is batting like Rock solid.

 

[Sanzcool]

104 All out

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bumrah's captaincy in the last hour was clueless.

 

[Red-Indian]

46 is an in-between lead. Not great but not useless either. Hopefully, we can weather the early storm and make something of it.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Any runs from Devdutt and Virat will be a bonus. Jaiswal has to step up this innings

 

[Devadwal]

Australia all out for 104.

They were played 2 more over than indian team.

Lead is 46 .how many runs india can score in 2nd inning?

 

[Red-Indian]

Any runs from Devdutt and Virat will be a bonus. Jaiswal has to step up this innings

Yeah the batting rests on Jaiswal and Pant.

 

[Kianig89]

46 runs lead

 

[Devadwal]

I think india is going to score around 135 .

Australia target 180

Australia to win by 5 wickets

 

[jnaveen1980]

At Adelaide we got 51 lead and got bowled out for 36 lol Hope that doesn't happen again.

 

[globetrotter]

46 is an in-between lead. Not great but not useless either. Hopefully, we can weather the early storm and make something of it.

What you are saying? In such low scoring match 46 lead is very crusial. Indian batter in 2nd inning should take advantage of 46 lead. Remember Aussies r batting last I.e. 4th inning

 

[Devadwal]

Aussies dropped 2 catches. Otherwise, India could've been all-out for 130-140.

Anyway, I expect Aussies to win by an innings here.

wake up from the dream and check the reality. India has taken 46 runs first innings leads.

Australia can still win the match but some arogant expert's are hiding from this thread .

 

[globetrotter]

Astonishing performance by India. Despite bundle out at low score of 150, Indian bowlers pull out the lead. Indian batter now should take advantage of 46 runs and extend lead beyond 275+ and put Aussies under pressure in 4th inning

Remember Rohit Sharma and Shami are not playing. If Shami was there, Aussies would have bundled out below 70 runs

 

[Devadwal]

At Adelaide we got 51 lead and got bowled out for 36 lol Hope that doesn't happen again.

Yea conditions are lots of similar apart from Pink ball .

 

[Red-Indian]

I do recognise the value of those 46 runs but don't batting fourth is any disadvantage when you'll be batting on Day 3 - probably the best day for batting on this pitch. It'll lose a bit of it's sting but the do-called 'snake' cracks won't be a factor yet.

Given the brittleness of Indian batting, I'd make it 55-45 or if I'm being generous 60-40 in favour of India. Not a huge advantage under the circumstances.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Day 2: Lunch Break - Australia trail by 46 runs

IND 150
AUS 104 (51.2) CRR: 2.03

 

[kron]

wake up from the dream and check the reality. India has taken 46 runs first innings leads.

Where ia Daniel Alexander? I want to ruin hi face.

 

[Hellion]

WinViz giving it 54:46 to Australia still. We are so bad that their model doesn't rate us even after a lead on this pitch.

 

[mominsaigol]

Not hiding, will pop up when Travis head and steve smith come back

 

[captain.hansolo]

Starc is a better batsman than Kohli and Smith

Bruv i am a weekender with a dodgy knee. i am a better batsman than Kohli after a pint. Twice as better when playing with my left, while my right holds my second pint.

Not saying kohli doesn't suck. He does bad.

But do you really believe you can even get a touch to a 140 kmph ball?

[Bhaijaan]

Harsha said something about the Aussies which I liked. If you play hard cricket against Aussies and give it back to them and win, they respect you. If you play soft cricket they don’t respect you.

Rana looks like having some skill. India needs to play him and give a long rope. Early days, but looks good.

Early years Pandya vibes

That is just a banter lol Starc is kind of a mentor for Harshit Rana as both played for KKR. They opened the bowling together

 

[Devadwal]

I hope Starc can sledge Virat Kohli like how was Johnson tried again Virat.

 

[Kianig89]

exciting game so far

 

[Devadwal]

Hazelwood is most accurate bowler after McGrath .

 

[BouncerGuy]

Please stay on topic and talk about this match only instead of sharing your personal life schedule here.

 

[Devadwal]

Jaiswal is facing the heat.this is proper High quality bowling on a spicey pitch.

 

[Devadwal]

Jaiswal is trying to play pull shot against Starcy at Perth .

 

[Devadwal]

Jaiswal need to curb his natural midoff shots.

 

[MP2011]

Rahul looks like a nervous wreck, not for the first time in his career.

 

[Ahmed216]

Good start for the Indians. All they need need to do is score 200 to win this

 

[Ahmed216]

I think in India's case they don't just respect them but also fear them now.

 

[MP2011]

Good start for the Indians. All they need need to do is score 200 to win this

Minimum 250 will be needed. Smith, Khawaja & Labu won't fail twice in a home test.

 

[kron]

Rahul looks like a nervous wreck, not for the first time in his career.

This is the best he has ever looked tbh. What are you talking about lmao?

I do not want him to play but if he can score 20 30 runs and bat like 80 90 balls I would take that.

 

[Kianig89]

The technique of Indian batsmen is vastly superior to Pakistan batsmen

 

[BouncerGuy]

If India can somehow post 300+, game is on.

Lead already 65

 

[MP2011]

Our batsmen are most overrated in world, by a mile.

 

[Ahmed216]

Khwaja is nothing special. Smith and Labu are no longer the players they used to be.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Target of 200 will be enough for Australia.

 

[MP2011]

If India can somehow post 300+, game is on.

Lead already 65

Considering the scores of first 2 innings of this test, this looks like a wishful thinking tbh.

 

[MP2011]

Good running by both batsmen. Good rotation of strike, something which didn't happen in the first dig.

 

[MP2011]

Khwaja is nothing special. Smith and Labu are no longer the players they used to be.

If I were in Indian team think tank, I'd be wary of saying this.

 

[kron]

The technique of Indian batsmen is vastly superior to Pakistan batsmen

Not really. Kohli is a fraud. Rohit too. Don't be fooled by kl.

He will have one good test per series.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Considering the scores of first 2 innings of this test, this looks like a wishful thinking tbh.

India started well. Let's see where it goes

 

[Ahmed216]

You can see from body language of these two batsmen they feel they're on top in this game.

 

[kron]

People have zero concept about tesr cricket. You need to bat time. Get some overs under your belt. Tire rhe bowlers our. Grind them to paste. Give your bowlers rest then attack with intensity.

That's why nations with no test cricketing credentials should open their mouths
You cant expect bumrah and co to bail your useless batsmen out all the time. Lmao

They need rest

 

[MP2011]

Once Rohit & Gill come back for for 2nd test, who'd they replace?

Padikkal I guess and then Rahul will go back to his usual 1 down.

Not sure who'd Gill replace.

 

[U$ofA]

Couple of observations:
1. Two of the Fab Four have played 13 balls between them for grand total of 5 runs.
2. Aussies cannot play fast bowling, Indians cannot play spin.

 

[MP2011]

Indians cannot play spin.

We can't play pace either

It's been a difficult pitch. So far it's been all about survival.
But these 2 Indian openers are now beginning to feel in control

 

[Savak]

Incredible how India has been the most superior touring side in Australia for the past 6-7 years and England, New Zealand in comparison are no where near as good

Rohit needs to go home. Get lost. Don't disrupt our ryhtym.

Paddikal out and bring in pradosh instead.

Kohli needs to be sacked.

 

[Buffet]

Need to pick up a wicket here, these two are looking comfortable. Can't allow openers to go big.

 

[kron]

India up their intensity vs aus, SA hence they drew there and also vs england.

But some reason intensity is much lower vs nz. No idea why

 

[MP2011]

Australia's last wicket partnership probably taught us a bit about how to stay on this wicket. So not everything was bad about that partnership for us.

 

[MP2011]

Rohit needs to go home. Get lost. Don't disrupt our ryhtym.

Paddikal out and bring in pradosh instead.

Kohli needs to be sacked.

lol, nothing of that sort is going to happen except for Padikkal going out in favour of Rohit.

 

[MP2011]

Want to get contracts for their local T20 league. Oh wait!

 

[hafizexpress]

Aussies looking toothless now against these two. Their composure and patience is incredible. India have conquered Perth

 

[MP2011]

lol, not so soon. Aussie bats will come back hard at us in their second dig.

 

[Buffet]

Pitch looks easier to bat. Less seam movement.

 

[Buffet]

1 wicket here will bring more. Just keep it tight.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are super meek against NZ always. NZ is a strategy based team. Indians play right into their hands more often than not.
