India beat West Indies by 237 runs in the 3rd Test

[Big Mac]

Australia : Spin :: India : Bounce

Not just India, Asian batsmen in general don't deal too well with bouncy conditions. Our records in Australia will testify to that fact.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

No short leg?

 

[LastManstanding]

Now Kohli will realize what Pujara's innings of 30(125) brings to the team.

 

[geraltofrivia]

VJ
Rahul
Pujara
Kohli
Rahane

Such a nice lineup.

 

[Sidilicious]

These two are doing well. We need to get close to 300.

With that Rohit 'Hackman' Sharma at 5, we will be lucky to get even 200.

That is why Kohli can be rated as high as Root or Williamson in tests.

Time for Rohit Sharma to bully WI.

I think after the first session, if these two manage to survive, they can get a big score.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Windies have a very good chance of winning this test. Getting a breakthrough here will increase their chances tenfold.

Rohit cannot bully anyone in tests. I will be happy if he can score 30-40 runs.

 

[#GreenRoars]

My boy Alzeeri destroyed Kohli, wah wah wah boy you are future legend for me )

LK once again playing a good Test knock here, very composed.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Holder getting over his front leg a bit better.

India will get a big score. There is no doubt about that. But better teams will screw us from this position. Dhawan/Rohit are great ODI batsmen but tests are no place for them.

 

[Ab Fan]

Rahul's best knock quality wise.

A KP-esque knock at a very good strike rate even if he misses out on a big one here.

 

[#GreenRoars]

This is the IPL generation of batsmen. No patience at all. On a flat deck they would do well but with this kind of temperament, they'll get exposed by most good bowlers in slightly helpful conditions.

Yeh cheez, ban these IPL PSL e.t.c e.t.c

Just wait and watch. Rohit is going to do better in this test. I like Rohit, he is very good to watch as a batsman, plays classy shots.

Yeah, but we are dependant on the current partnership and the tail. I have more faith in the tail scoring runs that than Sharmaji

Since he's attacking the stumps so much I would put a short midwicket for Cummins to take away the flick off the pads.

With a mile gap between the bat and the pad.

 

[Itachi]

I don't understand. Just two wickets fallen.

Ask the Pakistanis.... It is usual for them. Just another day in office.

And we Indians making it so big deal.

We have just 5 batsmen in our team, 2 of them walking wickets.

So basically our team's batting is Kohli, Rahul and Rahane.

Indies are a weak team. We wont lose this. But stronger teams will screw us.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

When you have Dhawan and Rohit in your 5 batsman line up, you should be worried.

 

[street cricketer]

You might have to think twice

Not everybody can take Australian bowling to cleaners so consistently. A very under-rated player on this forum.

 

[desi_launda]

Rahul 77/3

 

[street cricketer]

Lol how the heck we manage to give away our wickets to offies in every team.

 

[desi_launda]

Rohit Sharma, right handed bat, comes to the crease

in tests? please. Hazlewood would expose his technique and Starc would break his toes

 

[Indian_Supporter]

Predict how many overs Rohit Sharma will last? My guess < 5.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

3 down. I have midsem exams and im watching this garbage.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Can't ban them Roary. This is the future of cricket whether we like it or not. The least we can do is stop hyping our batsmen based on IPL and revamp our FC system but BCCI has other ideas

Rohit off with a boundary. Holder needs to get everyone behind the wicket, we know nothing's going in front.

 

[street cricketer]

Heard the word "talent" 4 times from the hindi commies since Rohit came to the crease.

 

[street cricketer]

He's comfortable against pace and bounce on Australian wickets. I've seen him pulling Johnson and Starc off the front foot mainly due to his timing ability.

But will flounder whenever there is lateral movement of the ball because of the flaw in his technique.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Q quick 50,60 would be useful from Sharma.

 

[street cricketer]

Lol jee Talent departs (after the commie mentioned the word 3 more times).

 

[sandsaims]

Everyone other than the team management knew Sharma wont score.

 

[Ab Fan]

Rohit is India's Umar Akmal.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Sleeping beast sent to sleep

 

[street cricketer]

Will we make 200?

 

[#GreenRoars]

You should make Sharma v Akmal thread

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

We are gonna soooo screw up.

 

[street cricketer]

You should make Sharma v Akmal thread

That would be a battle for the ages

 

[#GreenRoars]

Sharma did it alone in ODIs , twice.

So i guess whole team can do at least 201

Spread the power of positivity yaar.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

lol at those who were finding west indies boring and win against them unsatisfactory. Told you earlier too this was india's best chance to improve their head to head record against west indies.

 

[street cricketer]

Sleeping beast sent to sleep

He looks always like one who has been disturbed from deep sleep. That is true.

 

[Hasan123]

Damm what's happened to Indias batting today? All on Rahane. Big knock here will elvate him even higher!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What has pakistan got to do with this thread?

 

[Ab Fan]

what is wrong with these minnow bashers roh-ackwan?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

What is the guy saying?

Lobbied for Sharma so hard and pushed Pujara out of the team with his commentary alone

Justifying Rohit's failure.

For a ball that could have been well left.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Great call )

I'll take their test batting lineup over ours. Thats how bad we are.

Haha you are right, for some reasons he is big fan of Sharma. Once i was watching a match where Rohit Sharma edged the ball to the slip but it went over the head of fileder and boundary.

Sanjy uncle said " You know, this was deliberate edge, he knew the ball would went over the top of the fielder"

 

[Varun]

We haven't even scored 100 and Ashwin is batting.

Rohit and Dhawan are the definition of crapola.

How the heck is he justifying that?

 

[Mp812]

jadeja ashwin bhuvi ususally bat better than rohit ... they aint talented thats all

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

We gonna collapse to 200-300 I guess.

I don't get a good vibe today.

 

[ethan hunt]

Every commentator is a fan of Sharrma
Manjrekar , Gavaskar . Lol

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Are you kidding me? They need to bat out of their skins to even reach 300.

 

[Ab Fan]

300 would be fab from here.Even 200 looks tough if a collapse happens or Rahane gets out.

 

[Boi]

is this a minefield or poor batting?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Don't have confidence in Ashwin these days.

Till he gets set, anything can happen.

 

[#GreenRoars]

India best batsman playing at 6

 

[Ab Fan]

poor batting..

 

[ethan hunt]

Pujara is 10 times more gutsy than Sharma .
Scored a brilliant hundred in srilanka but i suspect his days are numbered with kohli in charge.

 

[street cricketer]

Sharma did it alone in ODIs , twice.

Spread the power of positivity yaar.

Trust me, I'm trying.

It's very hard to be positive when I see hacks like Rohit and Dhawan playing for the test team

 

[Nikhil_cric]

As bad as Pujara is right now, he's way better than that hack

 

[Chief Destroyer]

I'll take their test batting lineup over ours. Thats how bad we are.

Nah, we're not better. You guys are playing with 5 batsmen with two of your best bats out of the team.

When Haris and Babar are in the lineup then you can make an argument.

 

[street cricketer]

Every commentator is a fan of Sharrma
Manjrekar , Gavaskar . Lol

Proud Mumbaikars

 

[LastManstanding]

Any captain, coach or selector who thinks Rohit is a test player isn't worthy of his job.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Are you kidding me? They need to bat out of their skins to even reach 300.

Meant like 210 - 230

lol

Shouldn't have said 200-300

Even 200 is a big deal now.

When Haris and Babar are in the lineup then you can make an argument.

Based on what i saw, i think Sami would walk in ahead of Dhawan and Misbah/Azhar/Shafiq is a pretty solid middle order. You forget that our lineup collapses against spin as well and even a past it YK would make it into our team while playing at home. Sarfraz >Wriddhiman. Pakistan test batting lineup is underrated.

 

[TestMatch]

Rohit is such a hack.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

KOhli is a good captain but just has one problem.

He likes to make 10292348923468923468923465893568943658943689435689 mistakes and then learn from them.

Your top order is better than ours. Its your tail that lets you down.

The openers - dhawan and Hafeez are similar; and Rahul and your new kid are solid.

Azhar Ali is more solid than Pujara.
YK against spin is more solid than Kohli, but struggles abroad. Call it evens.
Misbah and Rahane is evens.
Shafiq is better than Ashwin the batsman.
Sarfaraz is better than Saha.

Your tail does let you down. Our 8-11 add valuable runs, whereas yours are second coming of Walsh with the bat.

The current lineup doesn't have anyone that can match Kohli, Rahane. That's why I said with Babar and Haris, an argument can be made.

 

[LastManstanding]

Had Dravid been the coach, we would have seen young talent like Karun Nair being given the chance, and now we have to watch Rohit fail time and again.
