Not true there is pressure because they failed in 1st innings.
don't see any wrong in that
It's not just this forum even my WhatsApp groups with friends are full of this whinging.As per the perennial negative nancies on this forum, We have the world's worst captain & Opener, number 1, Number 2, number 3 for any pitches, any conditions, any format against any bowling attack pace, spin, medium pace, quick bowling.
If Rav jadz had not scored 80 + rest assured he would be in this club and getting bagged by the same termites. However i am glad he has retired from t20.
@Mamoon - was right during the WC T20 2024 - when he said a large proportion of indian posters here are perennial serial whingers with the memory of ant & the concentration of a gnat who cannot see beyond the last ball bowled/last run scored/last innings/match/series.
As per BD posters - their team batting aint so hot, but their pace bowling is begginning to make its mark.
As per Pak posters - We wish we had about 5 guys from indian team and we lament the recent losses.
As per Indian posters - those guys named above can't knock the skin off a pudding and wont make the Uganda 2nd XI and we have volcanoes of talent waiting to explode and will easily replace the experience of the guys named above they are continously taking pot shots, come the Aus tour - we will victorious and slam Aus in every department/session/day/test if we replace the above named.
And some who are conspicious absent when india does well and will turn up to put the boot in with a fervour and regularity when india does not do too well, check the page 2 and 3 of this thread for some amazing examples of hilarity.
Do you realize both guys you have named have faced top class opposition in varied conditions and conquered them and at various times any team worldwide wold give anything to have them on their team sheert, where as you are sitting on your back side dissing them?
Pant and kl played same number of balls but u can see the score difference. Atleast kl should strike at 50 .he came when pitchbwas easing up and stall the entire score. Even ravi sastri pointed it out.
Average 27 in the last 4 years .
Trash player. Overrated bum. He needs to retire from tests.
Shows how much his confidence is shot. Previously he used to review even the plumb appeals against him.
Its the urge to become relevant and as our aussie friends call it ...the tall poppy syndrome....
He doesn't look young. He is fit yes. He should stick to odi flat tracks
Classic Australia will be whitewashed badly. Ibs remember how ponting batted like a deer caught in headlights against Bhajji of all people. He literally looked like a tailender in 2001 series.
He will be back before Biggest test series .
Yes vk goat sarrr. Best only. Greatest of all time. Untouchable. Cristiano ronaldo of india.
Btw virat did nothing in t20 apart from the final
From Last Australia tour our batting becomes strong but pujara was the main difference
And you are basing that on this one dismissal? ever heard of 'to err is human' ?
Please
Without Virat india would have not score 150 . Virat hold the one end that's why axar and Dubey smashed few runs .
I feel DD Padikkal or Washi Sundar have the potential to play the ugly boring ball absorbing role that Che Pu played in 2018 and 2021. other than that a good XI but i feel we lack an out and out pacer and dont know the injury status of mayank yadav or if umrann is ever going to be selected before he is 40 years old and a 120kmph trundller -but either of the two or guys like kuldeep sen, Harshit Rana, kartik tyagi should be selected just on their ability to push the bats men onto the back foot, instead of siraj or akash
4 quicks is overkill I think. I think we should use Jadeja as allrounder and bring in Kuldeep for the Spin X-factor.
Aakashdeep and siraj both are hit the Deck bowler which is perfect for Australian conditions.
Agreed on the first part. lost a lot of natural gifts is a big call....
First test is at Perth, second day night and third at Gabba.
To me he was always somewhat overrated, along with Prithvi Shaw. Too bad India has given this chap so many chances. He should eb sent off to the domestics now till he improves his form.
Agreed. Sundar and paddikal are excellent choices. Forgot about them. Sundar dint do well in duleep but he will be handy in aus
Agreeed on 18 man team for 5 test series, but i wonder how this part is decided? i mean who decides if squad is 14, 15 or 18 or whatever and does length of series/matches/country/conditions have a say in this or does ICC regulate this or is it the home board or the visitors?
Nah, it's too hot. Pacers need break and also pitch will break later.
No rest for the bowlers in Chennai heat?
In bilateral series ICC doesn't have any authority . it's bcci choice if they select 15 or 18. Max they can select 18 .but host country only can pay for 15 or 18 this is im not sure . india can take as much they want but have to pay bill at own expense .Agreeed on 18 man team for 5 test series, but i wonder how this part is decided? i mean who decides if squad is 14, 15 or 18 or whatever and does length of series/matches/country/conditions have a say in this or does ICC regulate this or is it the home board or the visitors?
Looking @ the itenary, i feel somehow if we reach MCG on boxing day being only 0-1 down -we've had done pretty well and give us a chance of nailing MCG and SCG.
imagine if we some how draw the first test - Perth - imagine the thunderflash down them Aus trousers....they are despo to claim the BGT having not won for so long and theire is real intent amongst them/team/press towards this....just imagine...
Nah. No way.
I hope we take 18.
There were no ijjat on line. india is always to good in India
Yes, a very good pitch where Pacers, spinners and batsmen - All can do well if they are good. Even bounce so no lottery stuff.In the midst of all this, What is surprising or maybe not so, is the lack of appreciation of what a brilliant pitch this is....
Has pace for those bending their back - what a delight it is to see young Nahid Rana bowl - even on second day - the ball is flying thru, the one that got Yash was an absolute nutter...
This wicket Has seam movement,
this wicket has swing...especially reverse
This wicket Has bounce and most importantly the BOUNCE is EVEN
This wicket Has spin - the odd ball is turning
- The batsmen can hit thru the line ...its a true pitch
all in all just the fantastic template for a fab pitch and this should be done more often.
I remember Kapil Dev saying he felt Madras as chennai was called then had the most sporting wickets ( and also the most sporting crowds)...the wickets of 1978, 1979 and 1980 were right up there.
He loved the pace and bounce at chepauk every time he played there and has mentioned so many times.
I remember the quarterfinals 1996 WC - Aus vs NZ that pitch was wonderful as well...
And the we have this wicket, red soil and all....Why can't we produce such wickets......what an absolute diamond
As far as sporting wickets on SC goes, i remember 2015 in SL on our tour, those wicket were pretty sporty and supported all types of bowlers...
Rawalpindi wickets in Pak vs SAF a few years back were similarly wonderful....
Dharmshala - 2017 vs Aus, Matthew Wade was collecting them around his ears, even on the 4th day was another one....
Just goes to show two things....
a) If we put our mind to it we can surely achieve it.....can prepare such sporting wickets for future tests
b) for the perennial baggers of indian cricket, the guys who cry HTB and FTB on loop....just take another seat....
Give your appreciation for what has been a real wonderful wicket....sick of those same old raging turners...give credit where due....
yes....thats my point. If india replicate this in domestics/FC cricket/age group tournaments.... we will breed good pacemen, good spinners....expose our young/domestic batsmen to conditions they are likely to face overseas which means they will improve.....
feel ur pain -aumar bangla bandho...khela hobe....but i have enjoyed watching your guys on our shores....off course it is easy for me to say it - the results are in our favour, at least till now....but keep the faith bro - in your guys
Yeah one hell of a pitch this is. Ind Vs Aus in this pitch would have been a bangerIn the midst of all this, What is surprising or maybe not so, is the lack of appreciation of what a brilliant pitch this is....

i guess very few times-one of the rare occasions in indian cricket that pitches were praised so much, even by opposition...Ravi Shastri's 'Top' Reply As Tamim Iqbal Probes Him on Pitch Rating After 17 Wickets Fall on Day 2
A record-breaking 17 wickets fell on the second day of the first Test of the two-match series between India and Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday.
India spared Bangladesh the ignominy of a follow-on but grabbed an overall lead of 308 with seven wickets in hands to seize control of the opening test.
The previous record for the most wickets to fall on a single day at the Chepauk was 15, which happened day 3 of the Chennai Test against West Indies, as well during day four and day two in the first and second Tests against England during their 2021 series.
After the end of day’s play, former Bangladesh cricketer Tamim asked former India captain as well as caoch, Ravi Shastri on JioCinema: “With the new system of pitch ratings after every match, how will you rate this pitch”
“Top billing, it’s a good cricket pitch,” Shastri replied.
“Yes, it has something for every bowler.” Tamim added.
The hosts posted 376 in their first innings, a remarkable recovery from a precarious 34-3, riding a match-defining seventh wicket partnership of 199 between Ravichandran Ashwin (113) and Ravindra Jadeja (86).
Seamer Jasprit Bumrah then wrecked Bangladesh, who folded for 149 handing India a significant lead of 227 in the bowler-dominated contest.
After seventeen wickets tumbled on a frenetic day two, India reached 81-3 at stumps. Shubman Gill was batting on 33 with Rishabh Pant on 12 at the other end.
India are looking to extend their lead at the top of the World Test Championship rankings as they begin a fresh Test season of 10 matches.

Its the English who always whinge about a pitch. rest of the world just plays the game..
Day 2 & 3 pitches are the best to bat in Chennai. Probably they wanted to avoid batting on day 4 on a potentially crumbly wicket.
A total of 17 wickets fell on Day 2 between India and Bangladesh at Chepauk.
This marks the highest number of wickets to fall in a single day of Test cricket at the venue.
Thanks for the appreciation of our bowling. Yes, the batting unit here seems very fragile to me , especially Moninul,Shakib,Shanto,Shadman all are too much inconsistent. Cant face quality pace or seam bowling. Even in this innings Liton, Mehedy and Mushfiqur (he got out to a brilliant delivery) were those 3 who always seemed to be the batsmen who can bat longer. These 3 were instrumental in our Pakistan wins. You just can't rely on one department.
Bangladesh's main headache has always been the batting and not finishing the lower order of opposition early in tests in last few years .
Some hype was created about us in Indian media after our win in Pakistan. This type of batting made me real shy.
