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

[Kianig89]

Test cricket has no future, who is the future Sir Jadeja for India, no replacement for Ashwin also

 

[BouncerGuy]

Kohli is washed up now. I wonder why India is still carrying this dead weight for nothing in return.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia's record at Optus Stadium 4 wins out of 4 matches. This will be 5 out of 5.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli is washed up now. I wonder why India is still carrying this dead weight for nothing in return.

Marketing. It is cringeworthy. Everybody knows he was gone 3 or 4 years back in Tests. They are carrying him for using his brand.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Such a poor review.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies waste one review.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Kohli puts people in the stands and eyes on tv screens. He is the new MSD.

only reason fatty rohit
vegan kohli.
and klaget picked is cause of big PR machine
behind them
kl gets support from sunil shetty. bollywood support
marketing gimmick.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

IPL boys are scoring at less than 1.50 per over.

India - 21/2 (15 overs).

Are India looking to release a new league? ITTL (Indian Tuk Tuk League)?

Yes. You'll finally get a league where Bangladesh batsmen may be bought for a change

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Australia need to keep on chipping away. Don't let them settle

 

[mominsaigol]

Australia in test
Australia in odi but in cups

 

[mango_bite77]

If Kohli retires, can he play Ashes next year ?

 

[mominsaigol]

Kohli from 57 avg to 47. What a decline

 

[Justcrazy]

Another review by Aussies !!!!

 

[kingusama92]

He was batting so well. Just relentless bowling from the Australians.

 

[Justcrazy]

That wicket might be lunch

 

[jnaveen1980]

Thidr umpire got it wrong. THat was clear bat hitting the pad

 

[Devadwal]

Pathetic umpiring .how the hell that was out

 

[volcyz]

Disgusting decision by the 3rd umpire

***

 

[Vikram1989]

@Devadwal we have to score another 25 before the lunch for ur prediction on yesterday. (72/4)

 

[kingusama92]

Pathetic umpiring .how the hell that was out

Nah the spike came before his bat hits the pad. He was out.

 

[mango_bite77]

Any reasons why hotspot is not used nowadays?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Well benefit of the doubt went to the bowler this time.

 

[Justcrazy]

Two WK at the crease now.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Controversy already.

Not sure how there was enough conclusive decision to overturn the call on the field.

 

[Vikram1989]

Any reasons why hotspot is not used nowadays?

It's not picking the faint edges

 

[BouncerGuy]

Rahul gone as well.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nah the spike came before his bat hits the pad. He was out.

There was a significant gap between ball and bat at that time on the right of screen.

 

[kron]

looooooooooooooooool. what a joke. kl rahul now secured his spot for the next year haha. with a bs 26 run score.
fodder.
fodder
fodder

can win with just 3 batsmen. need atleast 4 5.

 

[Ahmed216]

Nah the spike came before his bat hits the pad. He was out.

Yes spike came when ball was next to bat and bat hit the pad when ball was halfway to the keeper

 

[jnaveen1980]

Neither KL Rahul turn back and see nor Starc was convinced. New angle shows he hit the pad twice. What a terrible mpiring

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Already controversy. Australia setting themselves for a fall

 

[Nasty Naz]

Seeing that front on angle now and not during when the 3rd umpire was reviewing it is so strange. From that angle, it looks like it might be out but would need the spike simultaneously to confirm.

Felt like 3rd umpire ended up rushing the decision tbh.

 

[kingusama92]

There was a significant gap between ball and bat at that time on the right of screen.

There was no gap when they played it straight on.

When they showed the side-on angle, the spike came when it was next to the bat and then his bat hits the pad. I can understand why KL thought he missed it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Almost all commies are saying that is a controversial dismissal.

 

[mominsaigol]

Pathetic umpiring .how the hell that was out

Don't question the umpire. They are never wrong.

 

[jnaveen1980]

There was no gap when they played it straight on.

He hit the pad twice. Once faintly then solidly. THat was not out

 

[Kianig89]

Missing the legend Ishant Sharma

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Cost

 

[mominsaigol]

It's out. End of story

 

[Champ_Pal]

I wonder why those new angles weren’t available for 3rd umpire during the decision process.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I wonder why those new angles weren’t available for 3rd umpire during the decision process.

yea.. it was worse than club cricket angle. They have 80 cameras. They chose these angles? Nothing in front.

 

[Ab Fan]

At the moment, India have only 3-4 test match standards players.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Why the hell Rahul is still around??

 

[kron]

It's out. End of story

yea out is out. cant do anything.

 

[kingusama92]

He hit the pad twice. Once faintly then solidly. THat was not out

I can accept the decision being left to the on-field umpire (which was not out).

Although I do feel he edged it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Better Illingworth give us back one decision

 

[Champ_Pal]

Why the hell Rahul is still around??

He is the best batsman on the show today.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I can accept the decision being left to the on-field umpire (which was not out).

Although I do feel he edged it.

How? lol That is not a edgy sound. THat was a soft fluffy sound. You touch a ball you immediately turn around. KL Rahul didn't move an inch.

 

[Ahmed216]

Never a good sign when you're forced to play WK only for their batting.
Jurel must be very highly rated

 

[SpiritOf1903]

 

[Champ_Pal]

Better Illingworth give us back one decision

He will give a reprieve to Harshit Rana.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He will give a reprieve to Harshit Rana.

How hard it is to look at the straight angle. He hit the back pad first and then the front pad.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Never a good sign when you're forced to play WK only for their batting.
Jurel must be very highly rated

Jurel is a very good batsman. He does not get a chance in the team due to Pant taking gloves.

To me pant, Jurel and Jaiswal are the best Test batsmen available in India. w

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hope they don't fine KL Rahul for this horrible decision. He had the right to express his dissent

 

[Champ_Pal]

How hard it is to look at the straight angle. He hit the back pad first and then the front pad.

It’s pointless. Sometimes sheet happens.
India have themselves to blame for this poor effort. Not easy batting conditions. But our batsmen made it even more difficult by being ultra defensive.

 

[Devadwal]

.

Nah the spike came before his bat hits the pad. He was out.

There was no conclusive evidence to overturns the umpiring decision.

That was pathetic decision and there will ne more such decisions in next one and half month's

 

[BouncerGuy]

Day 1: Lunch Break

IND 51/4 (25) CRR: 2.04

Not a good scroeboard to see here for India.

 

[Rajdeep]

Remember these 3 names - Kettleborough, Illingworth and Reiefel.

These 3 umpires are on a mission to screw India.

Screwed us in NZ series and now here.

Yea. Ashwin lost 6 or 7 wickets due to umpire's call.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Day 1: Lunch Break

Looking at the team, this was expected. Bunch of noobs and has beens.

 

[Devadwal]

They are jealous of indian cricket power

Time for jay Shah to use his power and put them in Their place.

Umpires should be fair to all teams.

 

[mango_bite77]

Too much crying on Pp. Relax brothers - Just 25 overs bowled, you have 74 more sessions. Aussies batting is not that strong, have faith.

 

[hamzie]

What's going on neighbours

 

[Croma]

51-4

India won toss and elected to bat.

Why am I getting this deja vu feeling... Can India cross 100? Pant and Jurel are my key batters for India to cross 100. I dont trust the others.

 

[sweep_shot]

Umpire's decision is final.

I stand with the umpire.

 

[Rajdeep]

What's going on neighbours

Umpire screwing us again my man. That is all happening

 

[Ab Fan]

Aussies are scared of KL Rahul so they got his wicket via poor umpiring

 

[Vikram1989]

If.any chance is there kohli should announce mid series retirement from all formats and reprive himself. For all the struggling players ,they should consider mid series retirement as service to Indian cricket team and fans.He was looking like a nervous debut player in the dug out.it was so strange and sad to see him like that.

 

[mominsaigol]

Lol at everyone critiquing the umpires decison. If it was the other way around such narratives wouldn't exist

 

[sweep_shot]

Umpire screwing us again my man. That is all happening

I see excuses are ready already.

Hope he retires by the end of the series at least. There are players in the wing waiting for their chance.

Both Rohit and Kohli should retire from all formats. Both are 38 now and still hanging around.

 

[Vikram1989]

Both Rohit and Kohli should retire from all formats. Both are 38 now and still hanging around.

Also What ever happens kl should be thrown out.

 

[Devadwal]

Truth. We are not going to win anyway but atleast umpire can give fair decision .

A blind person can seen that there is no conclusive evidence to overturn the on field umpire decision .

But why im discussing with Pakistan posters when they will support anything against Indian cricket team, right or wrong doesn't matter for you.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Also What ever happens kl should be thrown out.

He will be the senior statesman once Kohli and Rohit are gone. He will hang around the team for another 2 or 3 yrs.

 

[Rajdeep]

I see excuses are ready already.

What excuse? There was clearly gap between bat and ball and that has been discussed.

This is a match thread and we are simply discussing what is going on in the game.

If your intention is to simply rub it onto Indian fans here, I would suggest wait till the game gets over

 

[Devadwal]

Aussies are scared of KL Rahul so they got his wicket via poor umpiring

Disparate time needs disparate tactics

 

[sweep_shot]

I see excuses are ready already.

By the end of this tour, which excuse will we see from Indian fans? Pick one.

1) Umpires were biased.
2) Aussies were racists.
3) Dog ate our homeworks.
4) It was too hot.
5) We didn't have a full team.

 

[Devadwal]

Yet won the back to nack series which no other Asian rean can thinking in their dreams.

[Punjab Kings]

Thank god.... We crossed 36
