Test cricket at it's best!

India has just bundled out to a meakley 244 on what's touted as the batting paradise! No matter how you try to cover it but it's an incredibly disappointed performance by the "best batting line up in the world".

Australia batsmen will now come out all guns blazing and India is set to face a huge humbling loss in this match! It's humbling because we saw what happened after Pakistan got smashed by New Zealand in the last test. :kp
 
Disappointing performance for sure.. But it's some elite bowling from Aussie bowlers, especially Pat Cummins. Those run outs were induced due to sheer pressure from the bowlers.

That's true, but also extremely poor response by Indian batsmen who seem to be intimidated by the big Aussie quicks

India as per you is the best batting line up in the world? Bro, you really need some basic cricketing lessons starting with what batting means, that would be quite humbling.

I think we Pakistanis have no shame. India is playing with Kohli,Shami and Yadav and we are trying to celebrate their loss. It does'nt matter even if India loses 3-1. Even a sole win with your depleted side in Aus is a huge achievement. We have'nt been able to draw a match in Aus for the last 20 years.
Pakistan cant even pick 20 wickets in a match. We should be the last people to talk about humbling

Lol I think you misunderstood me, what I meant was the so called "best batting line up in the world". I myself definitely don't consider them so :yk

Like I said many times before, that was a fluke win. Australia were wayyy too over confident going into 2nd test match and didn't do any preparations at all. It was cringey to see how all Australian legends were saying "India has no hope. It will be complete whitewash" :shezzy2
 
Just yesterday only yesterday so many chest thumpings going around by parosis here in a pak forum....which is unthinkable in an Indian forum anyway....

I have just said wait for the match and series to end.....and now india c or D whatever the 2nd ranked india C TEAM is loosing players to injury and we may
see a 3rd rank India D Team in GABBA..(don't know how many players will get injured..by the way..)

So folks......enjoy the pies.....humble pies

Then who considers them the best batting line-up? I doubt any of the PPers for whom this post was meant for, said so. I can understand you are a hateful fella who wants to rub it into us for our team performance, but when the bad performance is already there to talk about why induce lies and loose credibility?
 
He even gone on to the length that india could fit 2 3 teams in top 5.....

Cheer you own team mate and get out of this salty mentality. Indian is a good cricket team with better fast bowlers and and bastemed than us. Enjoy the game.
 
Already playing without Ishant, Shami, Yadav and Kohli. Now seems like even Pant, Jadeja, and Bumrah have some sort of injuries.

At this rate, India may have to play U19 net bowler Kartik Tyagi in the next test.

No chance in hell, Aus with their full strength team will win a test in India. India with a depleted team won a test in Aus. That deserves respect.

That deserve respect and is shown respect here but the arrogance followed after day 2 of 3rd test ....is highly uncalled for...
 
Surprising thread. Australia are on top but this is a good test match and India isn't doing that bad for the moment.
 
India is the 2nd best test team in Australia after South Africa in the last 20 years:inti

Well if they dont win here - it really means nothing. Remember - top teams of the world, we are told, dont worry about playing well - its about winning. So let's see.
 
And by the way - any comment questioning India doesnt need to be taken as an assault on one's senses.

Add your comments here if you have something useful to contribute.

What I meant is India has been outplayed so far in the test match but not butchered.
But, lets hope it happens in the 2nd innings!

Well, without Kohli Shami Ishant Yadav now Jadeja. Atleast 4 regulars are missing, yet the team is competing. Thats what a top team does. It may not mean much here, but to the world outside it shows the bench strength.

The series in 1-1 so its more than competing, India have produced some good cricket and most fans respect that they have made a match and series worth watching.

With Kohli, Yadav and Jadeja available they got out for 36 and lost too.

As for OP - No they are not being humbled. Australia are on top though but India is in the game. And at the time you made the thread they were well in it.

There is a difference between the showing up on the field and rolling over and being competitive with a depleted side.

As i said, it may not mean much here, but then i dont expect posters who cry hoarse about India winning in Australia when Australia didn't have Smith and Warner to have the same attitude when India is missing Kohli Ishant Shami Jadeja and Yadav.
 
Absolute domination by australia. With the addition of Pucovski, this team is looking more dominant than it has in a long time. Too strong even for a full strength Indian team.

And they came back to win the next test. Now with our 6th or 7th pacer playing, All-rounder gone, number one batsman gone, against a full strength Australia in Australia, if the team is competitive, thats a positive.
 
India will be in deep trouble if both Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja won't be available in the last innings to bat. Both were looking good in the first innings and India hardly having guys who showed intent in this series apart from openers.

I feel at this point India needs to look at why so many injuries. Clearly it isn’t just a coincidence at this point...

so true, it is also worth noting that rohit sharma gave away his wicket only because he felt intimated by aussie quicks, just see what happened 3 balls before rohits wicket

Not at all. Australia dont lose home tests when they score 300 + in the first innings with bat and this test looks like a clear Australian win. The Gabba test is a goner anyway. It's their fortress and they bully teams there. This series is 3-1.
 
Its not the best batting lineup by a longshot,specially without Kohli

Its the bowlers who have kept us competitive while batsmen have failed

Question is not about being competitive and showing character it's about the big ego and arrogance that goes with it which irks fans like us.....

Shami Jadeja and pant all got hit by a ball. Kohli is on maternity leave. Only Yadav got a internal injury.

Well, ego and arrogance comes with both onfield and off field success. The Aussies during 2000s were a very arrogant side. The English and present aussies are very arrogant as well.

That is part of the game - maybe they werent skilled enough to play bowling? India are free to do the same to Australia.

Only Kohli's case is a genuine one - on compassionate grounds.
 
Regardless, India overachieved this series just with that one win with their bench.
 
lol at all the excuses above, loss is a loss, you can't sugercoat loss in anyway. and this is going be quite a humbling loss for many people :sarf2

Completely disagree. 3 of the most successful teams in sport history are renowned for humility (Springboks, All Blacks and the Brazilian football team). I grew up watching the likes of Azharuddin, Kapil Dev humble blokes as was the great Indian side of the 2000's. The Proteas under Smith were amicable as well.

This arrogance is certainly unique to the new generation of Indian players and fans trying to mimic the English (arrogance) and Aussies (aggression). To be frank it comes across as fake as it's unnatural. There's zero correlation between success and arrogance.

This, no need to be arrogant for being successful.
 
India are probably a humble side with genuine cricketers. I feel its their fans and their apologists that need the humbling

They are not yapping now are they?

How can that be? This is a competitive series which makes for great television. For two successive tours India have toured well in England and Australia where they used to get destroyed, kudos to them they deserve credit. Anyone who goes to India on the other hand gets reduced to ashes.

Pakistan competing in the first Test against New Zealand and doing well on the first day in Christchurch means we are on the brink of collapse....but India competing is real competition

Wah jee wah

How have they toured well in England in the last 2 tours? They lost 3-1 and 4-1 in their last 2 tours of England. In Australia, yes they have been the 2nd best side after SA in the last 2 decades.

But the series right now is at 1-1 though and might end up 2-2.. NZ totally took out Pak in the test series...
 
There is no humbling as its India D team with many top players missing.

Kohli, Shami, Ishant, Umesh and now Pant & Jadeja also seems to be out. Even with this handicap side, the fact that India is still competing is a credit in themselves.

But they totally took out India last january also? So what is your point? Pakistan still batted better than India's batting legends worth millions of dollars and their long lineage of batting culture etc.

another proof of double standards. Apne gireban main pehle jhaank lo....

Errr no you don't get it or want to get it, it seems like. India competed, score card currently says 1-1 and that too with a depleted side. Pak was 2-0 in NZ.. I understand defending your side and all but sometimes you have to just accept reality...
 
This isn’t a humbling like in New Zealand 9 months ago.

India has overperformed in this series, in part because the Aussie batting is so weak.

The bottom line is just that these are two unexceptional teams which are playing in a very weak era.

Batting:
Australia 6/10
India 6/10

Bowling:
Australia 7/10
India 6/10

Well put.

In your opinion what would be the grades if India was full strength (I understand we can not judge properly, just curious).

I think that if India had sent Ishant Sharma and Rohit Sharma in the first place they would be 2-0 up going in to this Test

2-0 going into the curent match may have been possible if both the Sharmas and Shami played.

It’s a huge opportunity missed.

India has never been fully appreciated for winning 2-1 last time because Smith and Warner were absent.

But Burns was in horrid form and Wade is out of his depth at this level. Plus Langer hasn’t grasped that with an untampered ball Starc is inferior to Pattinson.

I think, they should be given due credit for that series win. NZL also won against a weak Aussie team in 85/86, but no one degrades their series win.
 
It's been a great series with very good comebacks from both sides.

Pat Cummins has been altogether on a different level way way above other bowlers.

I would play Pattinson instead of Starc in the final match.

Lol you must be an Indian. From a neutral point of view, here are the ratings:

Batting:
Australia 7/10
India 4.5/10

Bowling:
Australia 8.5/10
India 6/10
:faf
 
While India lost 6 wickets for 49 runs, Australia lost only 2 wickets for 103 runs on the same pitch and conditions. This is absolutely PATHETIC. Unfortunately for India, things are only going to get worse on day 4 :rp
 
Loving it how India is being slapped around .. but I will b happy just for Pak to compete at this level in Aus.

Our record in Aus is 345,643,212 miles below level of humiliation ...
 
I think India's tour of NZ was really poor. I dont remember seeing any of the top ranked team being whitewashed in such a way. India lost both the matches within 3 days (A session was washed off in first test which took it to day 4th) and NZ won comprehensively by 7 and 10 wickets. India scored 195, 161, 242 and 124, the last innings in the 2nd test was finished within 70 odd minutes.
 
I don’t get why people keep pointing out Pakistan’s record lol. Like this makes no logic. Just because Pakistan does terrible in Australia, Pakistanis shouldn’t be able to comment on australia series lol? That way whole of South Asia won’t get able to comment on any sport

Those injuries could have happened to anyone. I don’t think they were intimidated; at regular batsmen weren’t.
 
India could have won the first game so they should be disappointed. This game is done and Gabba is Australian fortress so this series is pretty much done.

At this point, I would just give Bumrah and Ashwin some rest in current game and have other bowlers a go. I am concerned about their workload, especially Bumrah has been bowled to ground.

Why are you so obsessed with India? Every time I see your post it's either downplaying some good performance from the Indians or jumping up and down when they're in a bad position.

Not good for health man!

You are overdoing it and looks like even the pak ppers are too getting tired of reading the same types of posts and threads from you.
