India trail by 100 runs as they reach 77/1 after bowling out Australia for 177 on Day 1

[JattMaula]

Calm down Axar. Don't try for magic wicket balls.

 

[JattMaula]

And it ends.

 

[Sanzcool]

Jaddu on a roll, Smith gone

 

[MP2011]

What a beauty from Jadeja!

 

[dravidthewall]

Jadeja got smith

 

[dravidthewall]

All hail Sir Jadeja

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Innings win incoming

 

[JattMaula]

Our former Kaptaan owes us additional 35 runs for the drop.

 

[jnaveen1980]

All the talk of Ashein vs lefties has disappeared. Left arm spinner is wreaking havoc

 

[Adijazz1706]

This is really tough to bat on random variations in turn and bounce from the same spots

 

[dravidthewall]

Carey playing bazzball

 

[Adijazz1706]

Carey trying to unsettle the spinners

 

[JattMaula]

Every touring team has that one batter that has decided to forgo defence. They have this plan of blasting out the home bowlers.

Carey looks like the candidate.

May work for some time. I like the audacity.

 

[JattMaula]

Carey's counterattack has given Aussies a chance to remain 8n the test. Well played.

 

[jattafridi]

Wow India what a performance

India should score 350 plus in first innings

 

[U$ofA]

If the Aus. batsmen are going to go with this sweep/reverse sweep strategy, it is going to be quick work for the Ind. spinners.

All that customized conditions in Sydney seems to have done diddly squat. Six down before tea on day one.

 

[JattMaula]

Second drop by former Kaptaan.

I give up.

 

[sindhiboy]

Nice counter attack from Carey.

250 is a par score I think.

Virat struggling in the slips

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Pretty poor by Australia. This series will be one sided.

 

[JattMaula]

Butter fingers catches an easy one. Cummins playing back to a full ball.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Todd Murphy fifer?.

 

[JattMaula]

Todd Murphy fifer?.

Quite possible. Someone has to take 10 wickets. But it will useful if he takes them for cheap and is economical.

 

[MP2011]

Jadeja is on a roll.

 

[MP2011]

4/8 wickets to Jadeja now.

 

[jattafridi]

Australia did so much practice still can’t score 250

 

[MP2011]

That's tea.

Our session, easily.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia did so much practice still can’t score 250

Prepared for Ashwin but Jadeja came in the exam.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli continuing in the slips is an abomination. It is like having Kamran Akmal in the slips.

 

[DJhant]

I don't remember any Indian team with such a prodigal spin attack. The closest was Kumble, Harbhajan and Ojha. Haven't seen Bedi, Prasanna , Chandrasekhar live

 

[jnaveen1980]

Last match, man of the matcH Kuldeep is in the dug out. If all 4 combine on a turning wicket they will be deadly.

 

[MP2011]

Kohli continuing in the slips is an abomination. It is like having Kamran Akmal in the slips.

He must have some pics of team management in compromising position. There is no other way to justify him being stationed in slips despite dropping 2 already in this innings and 4 in a single innings in the last test he played.

 

[MP2011]

Had Kuldeep been selected instead of Axar, Aussies would have long gone by now.

 

[DJhant]

Last match, man of the matcH Kuldeep is in the dug out. If all 4 combine on a turning wicket they will be deadly.

Yes, he would have been an automatic choice in any other team. However, keeping Axar out is difficult, he has insane stat in home soil. Also a better batter and fielder

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Ashwin might be the most underrated player ever

 

[MP2011]

Gotta dismiss them under 200.

 

[MP2011]

Jadeja has a 5-for now.

 

[JattMaula]

Well bowled Jaddu!!!

What a comeback.

 

[MP2011]

Well bowled Jadeja!

 

[JattMaula]

That carrom ball was coming.

 

[dravidthewall]

Thats it . Australia allout. Jadeja what a performance

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

You don't need Axar in the team when you have Jaddu. Kuldeep would have added so much variety to this bowling attack.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Jadeja is Mr Reliable. Certainly missed in the world cup.

DK reminds me of Hafeez. Who hasn't made his way in to the commentary box yet

 

[Devadwal]

177 all out .now give me a single wicket example which was lost due to pitch??
Khawaja and Warner out by pacers ,Labu got stumps , Smith bowled out by a peach and Renshaw missed a straight ball ,cary and handscomb due to sweep And reverse shot

 

[Devadwal]

You don't need Axar in the team when you have Jaddu. Kuldeep would have added so much variety to this bowling attack.

Totally agree or just play with 2 spinner and add another batsman .

 

[sindhiboy]

the pitch is tougher to bat on in comparison to pune 2017.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pune Test when we were bowled out for 105 and 107 with O'Keefe picking up 12 is what Australia should try take inspiration from. Todd Murphy should look to do an O'Keefe

 

[Ab Fan]

Jadeja is a great as far as test cricket is concerned.

 

[JattMaula]

Pune Test when we were bowled out for 105 and 107 with O'Keefe picking up 12 is what Australia should try take inspiration from. Todd Murphy should look to do an O'Keefe

Yup. They have a recent template to follow.

 

[SamNJ]

Australia's long nightmarish tour has just begun.

 

[Devadwal]

India need minimum 80 runs lead

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Scotty Boland - the most accurate bowler in the history of ball tracking in Test cricket.

 

[Devadwal]

Hayden is talking rubbish .he is saying these days most of test match played on flat pitch but this is not case .

 

[RamLakhan]

Pune Test when we were bowled out for 105 and 107 with O'Keefe picking up 12 is what Australia should try take inspiration from. Todd Murphy should look to do an O'Keefe

Yes, where is that O'Keefe dude gone now? Could have been handy here!

 

[dravidthewall]

India always trend to give wickets to debutant . Lets see how tod morphy do

 

[Rajdeep]

I think [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] was right...had India opened with Rohit even in test cricket after CT 2013, he could have been a great test opener. Think we missed that boat and tried finding the correct partner for Dhawan for years ignoring the Hitman.

 

[MP2011]

Rohit hitting some crisp boundaries.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yes, where is that O'Keefe dude gone now? Could have been handy here!

Retired from FC 3 years ago.

 

[JattMaula]

Hayden is talking rubbish .he is saying these days most of test match played on flat pitch but this is not case .

Lot of PPers seem be under same elusion too.

This is the era of bowlers in tests.

 

[WengerOut]

Before Todd and Lyon, India should be vary of KL first.

 

[Varun]

Who is this Harry Potter that Australia have picked?

 

[jiduguravindra]

Why team management dropped gill for kl??

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Cowardly batting by KL.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Who is this Harry Potter that Australia have picked?

LOL first Abrar now this guy...

 

[MP2011]

Cowardly batting by KL.

He has always been like this.

 

[MenInG]

Thread is about India v Australia.

NO need to bring in Pakistan

 

[MP2011]

Well batted, Rohit.

First batsman to cross 50 in this game.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Crowd numbers looks a bit low here?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Crowd numbers looks a bit low here?

It's a weekday?

 

[Msd_7]

Rohit Sharma gets to his 50!

He is currently averaging 69.73 as a Test opener in India which is the highest for any opener playing at home in Test history (min: 1000 runs).

#INDvAUS

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Ravball in play

 

[MP2011]

Sifarishi Rahul gone.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

It's a weekday?

Seems weirdly low for a hyped test match in India.

Is it a sign of how even Indians aren't caring much about tests now?

Perhaps I am just over analysing and it will pick up on Saturday.

 

[Devadwal]

Rahul gone .now can we close the Play without losing any other wickets

 

[WengerOut]

KL, wah bhai wah

 

[Ahmed216]

Australia has started the series with a very timid mindset. More demons in their minds than this pitch

 

[Nikhil_cric]

2.1 million watching on Hotstar though.

KL out like an idiot after playing overly defensively.

Its was nearly sold out

 

[WengerOut]

Ashwin is our best batsman against spin. Is he being sent as a night watchman?

 

[Devadwal]

2.1 million watching on Hotstar though.

KL out like an idiot after playing overly defensively.

Add jio tv and DD national for live streaming .

 

[Varun]

Ashwin walking out as a night watchman probably for the first time in his career.
