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

[praveen]

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

That’s what Sehwag used to do very well. Treat to watch

 

[Devadwal]

Oh that was close

 

[Vikram1989]

Somehow I feel whoever jaiswal scores in this innings will be more than entire rohits total score in the series. kohli should captilaize this opportunity to score some runs on this placid pitch.He don't get an easy chance than this in the series

 

[Devadwal]

India 301/2

Lead is 347

Intent merchant will score cute 20s with a strike rate of 100

 

[kron]

indian batsmen technique is good enough in australia, england post 2018 as well.
poor technique for nz conditions and i would say SA as well. bad technique vs swing/seam

 

[kron]

indian batsmen only good vs pace and bounce. not vs seam bowling in swing conditions and definitely not spin with rohit and kohli playing

 

[kron]

even though i am an indian fan its hard for me to watch a great bowler like cummins get hit. i rate him very highly.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Stunning straight drive that was from Virat

 

[jnaveen1980]

Only one batsman has crossed 150 in his first 4 centuries besides Jaiswal. That was graeme smith

 

[Ab Fan]

Looks like the pitch has really settled up, no trouble even with the ball being fairly new. Everyone scoring runs, hopefully Pant scores runs here because he will score fast and can give us a chance to take the lead to even 500.

 

[kron]

so pace plus bounce indian batsmen no problem
vs spin - lots of problems on turners especially for virat and rohit and kl etc
vs swing we are also terrible

 

[Bhaijaan]

Jaiswal on 161* now

 

[Ab Fan]

Only one batsman has crossed 150 in his first 4 centuries besides Jaiswal. That was graeme smith

And is that a hint of what can be our next step after the Australian tour?

 

[Bhaijaan]

Lateral seam - Poor , failure in South Africa

 

[jnaveen1980]

Finally gets out to a rubbish ball

 

[Bhaijaan]

Marnie is bowling quicker than Marsh, Hazzlewood

 

[BouncerGuy]

mammoth innings comes to an end. Jaiswal gone

 

[RahulBose]

Indians fans are very similar to Indian dads.... Never really happy if the kid unless he is the class topper or something.

Just a game guys, be happy that we are good enough, and enjoy what the boys do .

The amount of pessimistic messages is just appalling.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Paddikal should have done a better job. 1 brings 2 wickets

There's calls to drop Rahul when he was easily the best batter in the Indian team in terms of technique and application this game. Whether it's the start of something or just another flash in the pan is up for question but he's unstoppable after this performance.

 

[Blackbradman]

That didn’t bounce at all

 

[Devadwal]

Suddenly australia is back in the game .

We are likely to bundled out around 350 .

 

[Devadwal]

Five down .

What is going on .

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pant also gone and now jurel one got reviewed as well. India chocking

 

[mb3407]

3 quick wickets. Kohli should now stand up and prove he is worthy to be in the team. KL over Kohli so far

 

[Devadwal]

That is pathetic decision .how can give that out when Marsh is bowling with angle and bowl is sliding down the leg.

 

[BouncerGuy]

and jurel also walks back... trouble trouble

 

[mb3407]

The famous collapse on!

 

[Savak]

16 overs

23 runs given
1 wicket

what a performance by josh hazlewood

That's not good enough in Test Cricket. This is look good do nothing bowling. This means you have allowed the opposition to see you off.

A bowler who has figures of 110 of 15 overs with 4-5 wickets is more impactful in comparison.

 

[Rajdeep]

Australia playing with 14 players with 3 umpires in their pocket

That's very good
That's his job

That's why units hunt as a pack

One enforcer. One primary wicket taker etc.

Different roles.

 

[Devadwal]

13 over 46 runs 4 wickets in this session .

Although jurel wickets was due to pathetic and biased umpiring

 

[kron]

Australia playing with 14 players with 3 umpires in their pocket

Ah cmon man. Ump decision out nothing we can do. It was going down. But clipping. It is what it is.

 

[kron]

Pant threw it away literally.

 

[kron]

Nitish can bat.
So can harshit.

Still batting there. Hopefully we can get to 450 to 500

 

[Rajdeep]

Ah cmon man. Ump decision out nothing we can do. It was going down. But clipping. It is what it is.

Umpire decision was for 3rd umpire. Question is why on-field umpire gave it out in the first place when it clearly looked not out from naked eye?

 

[Devadwal]

Ah cmon man. Ump decision out nothing we can do. It was going down. But clipping. It is what it is.

Nathan McSweeney was plumb But umpires gave not out

Jurel ball was sliding leg side and Cummins was bowling with angles but given out .

That is the biased umpiring.

 

[Ab Fan]

India doing hara-kiri.

Need one partnership to settle things up. Take that lead to 500, don’t give up!

 

[kron]

This series is it. This decides kohlis legacy.

Can he help his team reach 450 500?

I doubt it

@BouncerGuy

Ywa true. Good point. Umps need to be consistent.

Scoring another 50 runs from here is going to very hard and you're talking about 130 more runs ?

 

[kron]

Don't think pitch is that difficult to bat tbh.
India have to bowl well.

 

[kron]

35 year old amazing athlete. 140 pace still
Starc

 

[kron]

If india win this game I want to see prasidh bumrah harshit nitish next game.

 

[Devadwal]

Don't think pitch is that difficult to bat tbh.
India have to bowl well.

That is the test cricket .

 

[kron]

Plenty of time left to bat. 3.5 hrs today. And tomorrow and day after

 

[BouncerGuy]

Jurel got a bit unluck. That one kept a bit low.

 

[kron]

@Devadwal
@jnaveen1980

How is nitish batting vs pace and bounce of say cummins. I think he can handle starc as he is a bit erratic.

 

[BouncerGuy]

This series is it. This decides kohlis legacy.

Can he help his team reach 450 500?

I doubt it

@BouncerGuy

I doubt it too. Kohli is looking pretty rusty on the crease.

 

[kron]

Jurel got a bit unluck. That one kept a bit low.

I really hope they don't drop him cause jurel is a high quality player. Don't want rohit to come and disrupt things.

 

[Savak]

That's very good
That's his job

That's why units hunt as a pack

One enforcer. One primary wicket taker etc.

Different roles.

Mohd Abbas was doing the same role for Pakistan with his 120-125 km/hr bowling. However this put no pressure on the opposition and this meant that the likes of Shaheen, Naseem and Co were under even greater pressure to strive for wickets

 

[Devadwal]

If india win this game I want to see prasidh bumrah harshit nitish next game.

Nah next is pink ball test and siraj is must .

Same bowling line up but I'll add another pacer instead Reddy . Reddy bowling is nothing special but those 41 runs in 1st innings was very important .tricky situation

 

[Rajdeep]

First innings - KL Rahul and in second innings Dhruv Jurel.

If we lose this test match, it will be only due to poor umpiring

 

[kron]

You need a balance bro

Complete bowler or 2
One workhorse bowler

Ideally one or 2 complete bowlers.
One express pacer type enforcer and one swing bowler. That's what creates a unit.

 

[BouncerGuy]

ATM,. kohli is just pushing at every delivery. Needs to leave bad ones way outside off

 

[Devadwal]

First innings - KL Rahul and in second innings Dhruv Jurel.

Hold on ! Lead is already 374 runs. Just saying but we are as usual greedy .

 

[kron]

Zero cracks lmao. Head and Smith key. Carey and labu etc should be beatable.

 

[kron]

So I hear kohli is vegan now
Is that why he has zero power lmao

 

[kron]

Woooah that guy in the boundary line got hit in the head. Holy crap. Hope he is OK. Security guard got hurt.

 

[kron]

Poor guy. I think he gas down syndrome.

 

[Ab Fan]

Kohli is back. He will score 10,000 runs soon.

 

[Devadwal]

Woooah that guy in the boundary line got hit in the head. Holy crap. Hope he is OK. Security guard got hurt.

Ball bas not him directly but after the hitting the advertisement board . Hope he is fine .

 

[sindhiboy]

He still eats egg whites.

 

[Devadwal]

Shabash washi

 

[MP2011]

What a stroke that from Sundar!

 

[Rajdeep]

Hold on ! Lead is already 374 runs. Just saying but we are as usual greedy .

Anything less than 500 lead and Aussies will chase

 

[RidiculousMan]

What an innings by King Kohli. Came in at a difficult time and dug his time out

 

[Devadwal]

Lyon is hardly Bowl with off stump line .why?

This is why he don't have much skills compared to Ashwin.

Ashwin takes wickets on good Bowl while Lyon mostly due to batsman playing rash shots after bored of negative lines .

 

[kron]

I want to see in the next game regardless whether india wins or aus wins, some new players.

Lance Morris and give Fergus o neil a chance

India should blood in prasidh. Ignore th SA series. That was his debut and he was nervous.

 

[Red-Indian]

Lead over 400 now. We've pretty much sealed the game but as @Bhaijaan and a couple of others reminded me, we've got 4 games to play after this so we need to continue to grind them in to the dust in this 35 degree heat.

 

[kron]

Sundar will be really good in aus. Wait and watch. Bat and ball.

 

[kron]

Kohli is back. He will score 10,000 runs soon.

Oh please. He can't play spin on turners
Can't play swing in nz or SA. He will score on flat wickets of England somewhat

And he will do ok here 30 average ish.

 

[kron]

Can kohli really be considered and ATG with just 47 average? I foresee it dropping to 45.

Inzi, miandad, Younis all 3 above him

He is around Yousuf level

 

[Ab Fan]

Scoring another 50 runs from here is going to very hard and you're talking about 130 more runs ?

We almost scored 40-50 runs, need to add 90 runs more.

 

[Ab Fan]

He is a country great in Tests.

But the pitches need to be factored in rather than simply comparing plain averages.

 

[Croma]

KOhli on 40*, That nice to see...

Padikkal has wasted his chance... Gill will take his place now. Hopefully Rohit spends more time with his family.

 

[kron]

@BouncerGuy maybe if this fraud kohli being able to bat so well on this pitch means pitch is super easy to bat lmao?
Maybe need 500 550 to be safe.

Wicket certainly has eased up a bit but there is some awkward bounce there. Not gonna be easy for Australia to chase this mammoth total.

 

[kron]

Odd ball is bouncing low a s one is shooting off.

Variable bounce but not impossible to bat.
