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

[BouncerGuy]

Kl should have got a hundred as well. He played nicely.

But Jaiswal,,you beauty

India's lead now 266

 

[Champ_Pal]

Deva needs to rotate the strike. He is again getting bogged down.

Such is life and by extension, cricket. All through yesterday and even today morning, Rahul looked more solid and control than Jaiswal.

But fortune favours the brave I guess. When Jaiswal has taken a risk, he's committed to it and gone for it whole-heartedly. The kid is going to be huge. The last question - performing overseas against a high quality bowling attack is asked and answered.

 

[kron]

Lmao labu checking his speeds after every ball like a true fast bowler.

Got to admire his heart.

Bowling quicker than hazlewood and reddy lmao

 

[kron]

---

Paddikal is slow but you need temperament for tests too.so I am ok with this.

 

[Devadwal]

Marnus is shorts pitch bowling specialist.
Bowling with 134 avarage speed

Some ret@ards on Indian forums are still saying he can't face short ball. Randi rona as usual started.

 

[Devadwal]

Nah doing right things. No need to expose Kohli or pant against new ball which is due in less than 4 over

 

[kron]

Cummins what an effort. In this heat. Humid conditions bowling 140 to 144.

Cummins bumrah are truly special. Incredible bowlers. Yes I know Cummins got hit but it's ok
Great bowlers have days off or even off tests.

 

[kron]

Correct this is test cricket. T20 fans should stick to that. He is doing the right thing.

 

[Rajdeep]

These Aussie boys are so soft, no sledging nothing...unlike like their previous generation.

I think IPL has made them soft.

@sweep_shot agree?

Cummins has been average bowler since last Ashes ( After smashed by bazballers)

 

[Vikram1989]

Padikkal is one hell of a talent.cant rotate strike even against Lyon and labu

 

[Devadwal]

India 250/1

 

[Ahmed216]

Easy paced surface now.
India would be hoping it spins a bit and some uneven bounce creeps in on day 4 n 5

 

[Rajdeep]

New ball now

 

[Devadwal]

New ball is available now

 

[Devadwal]

New ball now

India lead is 301

Australia can still restrict upto 360 due to new ball

@sweep_shot agree?

IPL has changed their DNA

 

[IndoorCricket]

Anything below 500 and Australia have a winning chance.

 

[Devadwal]

Shots jaiswal

 

[BouncerGuy]

The game is done and dusted for Australia

 

[Red-Indian]

If we can bat to tea and bowl 20 or so overs at them, just imagine how low their spirits and energy will be.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Jaiswal playing some lovely strokes now. That strike rate of his is constantly getting better. The last 70 runs of his have come in quick time.

 

[BouncerGuy]

All the grass is gone and with it, the hopes of Australia are also gone.

 

[Bhaijaan]

If we can bat to tea and bowl 20 or so overs at them, just imagine how low their spirits and energy will be.

Let’s go old school for a while and try to bat whole day and set them an impossible target.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Shot Padikkal.

 

[Devadwal]

Nice cut shot by Devdutt

 

[Bhaijaan]

My goodness Padikkal is a player. Playing some delightful shots against the new ball.

 

[Red-Indian]

Let’s go old school for a while and try to bat whole day and set them an impossible target.

Yes. I take it back. Go for 500 and destroy them physically and psychologically.

 

[mb3407]

Yes. I take it back. Go for 500 and destroy them physically and psychologically.

Yup. It will tire them for future games too

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bharat 103/1 in session 1

Another session won

 

[Bhaijaan]

Yup. It will tire them for future games too

Yes let’s not forget this is a 5 test series. It will also come down to which team stays the most rejuvenated physically and mentally till the end. It’s our opportunity to break the Aussies. I say let them suffer Habeebi.

 

[Devadwal]

5 successive session for team india.
India - 5
Australia - 2

 

[dravidthewall]

What a knock from jaiswal

 

[Buffet]

If we can bat to tea and bowl 20 or so overs at them, just imagine how low their spirits and energy will be.

Why bat till only tea?

Indians should try to bat whole day and let pitch gets poor to bat. Half way 4th day pitch gets harder to bat.

 

[BouncerGuy]

India should be winning this one.

Day 3: Lunch Break - India lead by 321 runs
AUS 104
IND 150 & 275/1 (84) CRR: 3.27

 

[uppercut]

India should be winning this one.

wont be easy .... the pitch has flattened out completely. India will have to rely a lot on Sundar and Nitish. So the best thing that India can do is bat loooong and hope the pitch starts to deteriorate.

 

[captain.hansolo]

Bumrah will need 12 overs to scalp three.

 

[Devadwal]

Why bat till only tea?

Indians should try to bat whole day and let pitch gets poor to bat. Half way 4th day pitch gets harder to bat.

If we can bat entire day today than lead will be around 500 .

Than india should declare at the overnight score .

But I think we May bundled out before stumps itself.

 

[Savak]

Flat pitch or not Bhumrah will get the job done. This series will be another humiliation for the declining Aussie team.

 

[kron]

i want india to show same intensity they show vs aussies against nz away from home too next time.
we always under perform vs nz.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Thought the crowd would be better on a Sunday

 

[uppercut]

Bumrah will need 12 overs to scalp three.

depends on the state of the pitch that he gets to bowl on. If India declare or bowled out today it will be unlikely. I see Sundar doing a lot of Bowling.

 

[jnaveen1980]

i want india to show same intensity they show vs aussies against nz away from home too next time.
we always under perform vs nz.

Not when you have brainless Rohit throwing kitchen sink after getting beaten for two balls

 

[kron]

al

My goodness Padikkal is a player. Playing some delightful shots against the new ball.al

always had belief in him. he is a good test prospect in certain conditions

but he can be timid sometimes and bat real slow can consolidate which we need though tbh

 

[kron]

Not when you have brainless Rohit throwing kitchen sink after getting beaten for two balls

we practically played with 8 men

we missed axar, jurel badly
also no shami
and also paddikal tbh

had 2 or 3 played we win that series worst case 2-1
no doubt about it

 

[kron]

damn it paddikal may have jinxed.

now walking wicket

 

[kron]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
@BouncerGuy
@FearlessRoar

watch the walking wicket get out in the next 5 balls.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Oh boy. What a bad start this is for india.

 

[kron]

16 overs

23 runs given
1 wicket

what a performance by josh hazlewood

 

[kron]

Oh boy. What a bad start this is for india.

collapse is always around the corner for this brittle unit as ong as kohli plays.

this time though should be better as only one is there.

 

[kron]

cummins averages 19 vs kohli and has got him 5 times

hazlewood surprsingly averages higher but he has got him plenty of times.

 

[Ab Fan]

My test XI after Aus tour :-

Jaiswal
KLR
Paddikal
Gill
Pant(wkt)
Sarfaraz/Jurel
Sundar
H Rana
Bumrah
Kuldeep
Siraj/ Prasidh

Farewells to Kohli, Rohit, Ashwin and maybe Jadeja.

for me paddikal has done enough. i would still drop kl rahul. trust me on this one
he has one good match per series every time. he will fail in the following tests
kuldeep has been poor in the last series but shouldnt have been casted off like that.

 

[Ab Fan]

Need to score 150 runs more from somewhere. Can we negate the second new ball or get collapsed till we add 50 runs more.

 

[kron]

i am sorry how does a strokeless wonder even average 47. what a fraud. lol
had a peak of like 3 or 4 years. thats it.

what a massive decline.

 

[Devadwal]

Kohli is feeling the pressure.

 

[Ab Fan]

KL is one of our best batter overseas. Can’t drop him.

Kuldeep is injured currently hence not playing this series.

 

[Devadwal]

276-2 can become 340 all out . that's the nature of test cricket .

 

[kron]

wooow. what a defense. kohli 0 of 8

my expectation of him this series.
average just 25 max. thats all. atleast bat time.

 

[Devadwal]

1/1 after the lunch break.

 

[Vikram1989]

Yeah KL needs to be dropped and can't go on his drama of inconsistency forever.Kuldeep is undergoing surgery I believe. That's why washi was preferred in the second Test.Sai sudarshan should come in for KL. I don't want sarfaraz anywhere near the team as a ftb.better to stick with Jurel as he is a good player with solid technique and temperament.

we need selectors who actually use data and watches technique rather than just blindly select based on stats.

 

[Devadwal]

Australia is back in the game.

 

[kron]

impressive bowling by josh hazlewood
speed is only 132 to 139 but accurate and gets bounce.

 

[Devadwal]

Hazelwood is bowling with 129Kmp speed .

 

[kron]

b

Hazelwood is bowling with 129Kmp speed .

its very hot bro
30 plus degree
he is accurate and gets bounce so its fine.

 

[Devadwal]

Kohli single runs cheers is equal to cheater century knock cheers. Brand

 

[kron]

35 year old starc in this heat
still bowling 138 to 144. great speeds.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Jaiswal is still there. Hanging on but felling the pressure of Kohli's poor from

 

[Devadwal]

Jaiswal please no run out.

 

[Devadwal]

150 for Jaiswal.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Jaiswal 150*

 

[Devadwal]

OUT

Jaiswal gone for duck , his average will slip further.

He is averaging 60+ again

 

[BouncerGuy]

Jaiswal 150*

every time he has made a hundred, he has converted it into a 150-plus score

 

[Bhaijaan]

every time he has made a hundred, he has converted it into a 150-plus score

A great habit.
He’s still giving respect to good deliveries. That’s a test batter

 

[Devadwal]

Some Peoples are don't know but Kohli back to the form is very very important for india to have some chances in this series .
