What's new

India all out for 36 in the first Test against Australia (2020/21)

Mamoon has time and time stated that away records are a measure of a teams dominance and sucess. He clearly hasn't seen India's away record in the past 10 years.
 
Pakistani fans and media finally have a chance to vent the frustration that accumulated inside them for years and years.

This match was a pain-killer for all the pain they have endured all these years.

As as a result, they won’t stop talking about and they only way they would be put in their place is if BCCI decides to agree for a bilateral series with PCB.

Whitewash Pakistan in Test cricket and then our fans and media will automatically stop talking about this match.

Bro,

I think you misunderstood my post. India was pathetic however rather than India's patheticness it was more aussie brilliance in my opinion that won the test match. I bought the WI missing key players because people are using the same excuse with Warner and Smith missing for India winning last time.

It seems our resident Indian, Mamoon, will not be forgetting 36 anytime soon. He really does seem mentally scarred.

Won’t change the fact that they spent more time at number 1 than any other side in 2010 and Kohli has amassed more Test wins than any Asian captain ever.

I would happily get whitewashed in NZ and get out for 36 in Australia if it means that Pakistan will spend more time at the top of Test rankings than any side in the 2020 decade, and Babar Azam will win more Test matches than any other Asian Test captain.

Every Pakistani fan would take it in a heartbeat as well no matter how much they are dancing right now.

Yeah how about you request your beloved BCCI to do that now Mr. India since that is your best way to save yourself from this continuous torture and embarssment so you can get another chance to say "Thank you BCCI for this experience" ��
 
It's hillarious to see Indian fans lecture Pakistanis to stop hanging on to the CT17 final, when these very Indian fans hang on to 20 years of Indian performances when attempting to ridicule the Pakistan team. I haven't included the years when said Indian fans were not born. :)

Also H2H stats between Pak and Ind for the past 20 years do not reveal a gulf at all.
Click to expand...

Yes, in the last 20 years the H2H between India and Pak is as follows.

In test cricket
Matches Played 12
India won 4
Pak won 3
drawn 5

In ODI cricket

India won 28
Pak won 26

India is only slightly ahead in both formats in the last 20 years.
 
Got to treat it as another loss and not focus too much on 36 all out

Positive is Indian bowlers did well.I'm more sad about losing Shami

Gotta make 3-4 changes and fight
 
Revealed: Team India’s Unusual Pitch Demand During Adelaide Test

According to a report in Foxsports.com.au, the BCCI gave clear instructions to the Adelaide Oval ground staff that the wicket not be touched in any way while they are away from the ground. As a result, the pitch was not at all rolled or swept last night or this morning ahead of the start of second day’s play.

Usually, the teams are given the option of using a heavy or light roller ahead of a day’s play but it is unusual to issue so strict directions around the sweeping of debris from the surface. The teams, however, have the option to ensure that the pitch is not touched up until 10 minutes before the resumption of play, according to ICC.

I stopped following the thread after The indian fan explained us that indian innings isn't finished as they are still 9 out. We will talk once Shami is fit againt and ICC decide to finish this test match. You never know, India might win it.

Stop crying. No one was demanding anything. It's in the ICC rule book that the pitch should not be touched up until 10 minutes before the resumption of play.

It is satire, and a pretty lame one as well. Imagine how many jokes we can make over Pakistan losing every match in Australia since 1999.

Our fans finally have a chance to vent their frustrations after years of build up. Go easy on them.

The innings is finished but it shouldn’t have been recognized as the lowest score because Australia took 9 wickets not 10. You cannot compare it to other lowest totals where the opposition took all 10 wickets.

In 2017, England were 27/9 in New Zealand when Boult ran through them. However, the last pair got a few lucky boundaries with edges and England posted 58.

Shami and Yadav might or might not have got a few fluke boundaries with edges, we don’t know that, but there should be an asterisk next to this record so that people are aware that India were 36/9 not 36/10.

However, as I said, ICC doesn’t care about these useless records anyway. For example, they keep handing out “youngest to XYZ” records to Rashid and Naseem even though the whole world knows they are massive age cheats.

I thought it was the other article which was published in the Pakistani media which stated that India would take their own soil to Australia next time etc.

I read this now after Thunderbolt’s post and I don’t know how I feel about this tbh. You can see both sides of the argument here. Anyway, it doesn’t matter now. Australia deserved to win.

Yes, add an asterisk and add a footnote at the bottom and explain that India’s innings ended at 36/9 and not 36 all out. It is not that hard.
 
Pakistani fans have another strong point to mock Indian team now after 3 years! For 3 years they were reminding us of CT-2017.
 
36 all out is the best thing that happened this year.i thought this has been very bad year but then 36 all out happened and it cheered me up a bit.LOL.India keep making us proud.

If this is how it should be in your stupid logic then every team when facing a low total in history would declare or make a batsman retire so they wouldn't go in the record books as lowest score. You wouldn't be saying this if it was Pakistan 36 for 9 and batman retired.
Keep crying. Poor boy your hurt so much

Teams don’t do that because no one cares about these useless records. Lowest team total, highest team total. No ones gives a toss.

I bet these Indian players weren’t even aware of their lowest team total was before this match.

Australia destroyed Pakistani lethal bowlers in the second Test last year at Adelaide where they declared at 589/3 after just 127 overs, flogging our bowlers at a run rate of 4.6

If they really cared about a useless record like highest team total, the could have easily batted for another 3-4 sessions, break the highest ever team total in Test cricket (952 by SL) and Warner could have actually scored 500.

They would still be left with enough sessions to win the match easily.

The only reason I posted was to highlight that this should not be recognized as an official record because India lost 9 wickets not 10. People had a problem with what I said and the discussing got dragged on and on.

I personally don’t care about these lowest or highest totals stuff. Apparently I criticize Pakistan all the time, but how many times over the years have you seen me specifically bring up the 47 all out by Pakistan in South Africa in 2013? I don’t think I even did it once.

There are many, many, many factors that I can and do talk about to prove how pathetic Pakistan cricket team is, but getting dismissed for an extremely low score is not one of those factors. It can and has happened to some of the top sides let alone a small team like Pakistan.

Australia, England and India have all been dismissed for such totals in this decade and multiple times. It is not a big deal at all.

I have rarely seen you so nervous that you are in those last days but it's understandable...

Didn't think that in my lifetime as an Indian supporter, I would get to see such a day. But it had to happen and it has happened, and nothing can be done about it now.

Having said that. Atleast the worst is over now and we cannot get any lower than this, so the only way is up.

To be fair to the team, they thought that being cautious was the right approach to go about and were proved wrong. Remember we would have criticized them if they had gone for their shots and got out in the process too. So yeah...they thought this was the right approach and were proved wrong on a day where every move that the Aussies took worked big time and every move the Indians took backfired. Fairgame....it is after all a game of glorious uncertainties and so it has been proved.

The bigger disappointment is that we have lost a gun performer in Shami for this series. The defeatist in me says that well...it is going to be 0-4.

But this too would pass, and the Sun will rise again tomorrow. Why should I not hope for a better tomorrow and a better dawn? You bet I would.

Go team India - win or lose, it is India all the way!

Yeah you should because next IPL is not far away. Last IPL was used to forget our performances against NZ and next one will be used to forget about Aussie tour. I now get why IPL fans want to have 2 IPLs per year. :inti

Yes, but Pakistan still came close to winning the 3rd test of that series with Viv and Marshall, both playing, but were robbed by the umpires. Otherwise the series could have been 2-0 to Pakistan instead of a 1-1 draw.

Lots of jokes here. All this asterisk nonsense wasn’t there when his other favorite team won the world cup last year!
 
I can't believe Mamoon has actually found a way to defend 36 all out.

But all those Pakistan fans doing banghra over this, I would advise to calm down because we have not played our tests against NZ but usually stuff like does come back to bite you.
 
Just watched the wickets, how embarrasing, it wasnt even a dangeorus broken pitch :))

The desperation of IPL cheerleaders claiming to be Pak fans trying to defend this disgraceful innings is even more funnier than the collapse.

Overated bunch of fake rockstars put in their place by simple line and length.

It's a bit of a freak result. Perfect bowling from a class unit. Pitch not unplayable but offering some assistance. It shouldn't be ignored but neither should it define everyone's career & lead to wholesale changes. You only do that if it becomes part of a pattern.

Oz was bowled out for 47 vs SA not so long ago. It was a strong lineup too (Ponting, Hussey, Hughes, Haddin). Pretty similar circumstances running into a top class pace unit on a slightly helpful (but within normal range for sure) pitch. There's really only one single play & miss for a batsman to survive a few overs or a few streaky edges for 4 difference between the scores.

Australia were able to come back & win the next Test in that circumstance. India had a terrible day at the office. Really a chance to show the world the character, resilience & talent of the side by fighting back now. Do that & the world will applaud. Every single criticism will flip to respect. That's how I'd be selling it as coach.

If they surrender again then all the old stories about pampered this, spoiled that, home bully this, over-rated that- will all come out.
 
Lmao - [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] seems more upset than the Indians after being bowled out for 36*

* Note on India’s total: Mohammad Shami was retired hurt, therefore India weren’t all out for 36... Unless it’s Pakistan, then it’s all out.

Along with you, I too hope that India comes back and shows character with a strong performance in the coming tests. They have done it in Australian soil before after the monkey gate saga. But what goes against the team this time is the non availability of a few players. But collective will can still prevail if the players take pride in their performance and play well.

Having said that, heads in the management should roll after this performance, because at the top of my head I can think of atleast three instances where India squandered a dominant performance abroad to lose the first test (and lose momentum) in a series.

1) Galle 2015 (came back to win the next two tests, but still for the kind of lead there was in the first innings, we should have won this test)
2) Birmingham 2018 - Had a few runs to score with 5 wickets in hand on the last day but fell short. In the same tour had England reeling at 87/6 or thereabout before losing momentum and catches to lose the lead. Sam Curran took the match away.
3) Adelaide 2020.

Enough is enough Ravi Shastri and his team bar Bharat Arun need to be axed. In ideal circumstances, the captain should also put down his papers (as a captain), but unfortunately we don't have a good replacement at the moment. However if Ajinkya's performances pick up then we can revisit this one.
 
https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/ravi-shastri-reveals-lowest-point-as-team-india-coach-2640892

Ex-Team India all-rounder Ravi Shastri spoke honestly about the highs and lows during his tenure as the head coach of the Indian cricket team. Shastri talked about the Test series in Australia which was eventually won by Team India 2-1 despite being 1-0 down along with a list of injury setbacks. However, the pain was quite palpable when he spoke about India's sudden collapse in the second innings of the first Test at the Adelaide Oval which saw the visitor's get bowled out for 36 - their lowest total in Test cricket.

In the interview with The Week, Shastri told how the entire contingent was "numb" and "in a state of shock" as the famed Indian batting line-up capitulated in only 21.2 overs.

"See, the coach is in the firing line; there is no choice. That is the quirk of the job. You have to be ready from day one. I knew there would be no escape routes. The 36 all out was the lowest point. We had nine wickets in hand [overnight] and then we were bundled out for 36. All that had to be done was score 80-odd more runs [to be in the game]. We were all numb. We were in a state of shock for days. How could that have happened?" Shastri said.

Shastri, however, seemed unperturbed by the criticism and said that he owed the debacle to himself and asked the Team to buckle up and perform better from then onwards. The results were there to be seen as India ended as the winners of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

"It was not just me. I would be the first to put my hand up and say I was the one responsible, take the brickbats; there is no place to hide. I told the boys to focus on what they could do. The boys were unbelievable. One month after that 36 all out, on January 19, we had won the series. I am still thinking, how did that happen? I promise, as long as I live, people will talk about that series win," added Shastri.

Pacer Josh Hazlewood was the wrecker-in-chief with a stupendous five-wicket haul while fellow fast bowler Pat Cummins also bagged four wickets. Australia clinched the first Test by eight wickets.

The way the usual suspects celebrated prematurely which backfired in spectacular fashion and they were left red-faced was hilarious to say the least.

Honestly speaking, hardly anyone including myself thought that India would turn things around in that series in this fashion. Everything was against their favor - 1-0 down, mentally scarred, Kohli going home, injuries etc.

It was the greatest series win in history and cemented the current Indian team as the greatest Asian Test side of all time.

What I found laughable was the assumption that this would be the end of this generation of Indian players, how they will never recover after this and how their legacy will be defined by them.

The 36/9 was a freakish result, just like how England were 27/9 in New Zealand and just like how Australia and South Africa were dismissed in the 40s in 2011.

Good teams realize that such freak events happen from time to time but they don’t mean anything in the long run. They get it out of their system and move on.

The way the usual suspects celebrated prematurely which backfired in spectacular fashion and they were left red-faced was hilarious to say the least.

Pure comedy.

Oh come on man, don't be so humble. You have some great egg on the face threads - a whole memory list.

Lmao - [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] seems more upset than the Indians after being bowled out for 36*

* Note on India’s total: Mohammad Shami was retired hurt, therefore India weren’t all out for 36... Unless it’s Pakistan, then it’s all out.

You never predicted India would win the series after 36 all out. You went for law of averages - meaning India wouldn't be bowled out under 50 again.

This is proven by the fact you were silent until India won the series.

The majority do not understand probability, and this is what you play on to gain XP. Playing on their ignorance. 600M+
 
A win that has allowed Rahane to extend his test career by 2 years more.
