Yeah, this also applies.

The problem is that Aus has just two bowlers to bowl with the new cherry, if one misses the mark, it will be a certain draw.

Hopefully our Top order doesn’t mess up again.

They can get part timers steve Smith, labu, head on. Kohli will succumb to one of them. Lot of options. Mitch marsh can chip in too.

Rain has saved Australia from an utter humiliation. Their unfit attack won't be exposed now . Otherwise this 3 man attack would have been brought to its knees and they would have struggled in the next 2 Tests as well

1) Eden Gardens
2) Great escape at the SCG
3) Heist at the Gabba with a depleted side
4) Heist at the Perth their fortress
5) Heist at the Adelaide oval after conceding 556 runs in the first innings

"Never ever underestimate the Indians- Justin Langer " :kp
 
The rain has stopped, the covers are coming off, the umpires have had a look and we will resume at 3:30 pm 15 minutes from now on.

I just admired the facilities of Australian ground compared to india .

We need to learn alots from them( australian grounds facilities)
 
The covers are off at the Gabba, and barring any further rain, play will resume at 3:30pm local time (4:30pm AEDT) for an hour before tea.
 
Australia should've declared earlier on Day 2 . Their fault.

There was serious food cover to be explored instead they added ultimately useless runs
 
Jadeja selection world. Remarkable innings in context of this match.

ABC Grandstand having a chuckle at Pakistan.. Isa Attenborough too
 
We have seen this many times before. India collapsing upfront and lower order fighting it out.

Bro- it's good to be optimistic but to pull off dravid laxman feats - you need to have in form players not washed up seniors like rohit kohli. 😀 They are depending on 2 20 + yr old kids to do the heavy lifting batting. Would have had a higher hope if there were younger debutantes playing instead of these washed up guys.
 
Any half decent team with form would have made sure this is a tepid draw. But India has given a massive sniff to Australia.

They failed in the home series against NZ and ind promptly got whitewashed 3-0. These seniors kohli rohit etx are like parasitic leeches..

Like no excuses. Just rescind contracts. Tell them to eff off

Even pakistan has guts to stand up to their stars

Agreed. Unlike Australia vs other Asian sides which are foregone conclusions :ba

It's getting silly now.
 
Starc actually gets worse the longer a series goes on, his record in 4th and 5th test matches is ordinary. But without Hazelwood Australia will keep persisting with him.

The Indian bowlers barring Bhumra had an off test match but they will bounce back in the last 2 test matches. This Australian team is still scarred by this Indian team, they play very defensively against them the longer a series goes on
 
If Mitchel Marsh cannot step up to support the Australian pacers, his selection is useless.
 
Steve Smith was clueless about how Australia would beat India at The Gabba in Josh Hazlewood's absence. He said this on Day 4 in an interaction with local broadcasters after the first session:

"No idea, we'll find out once we get them out and see what happens."

"Possibly, I don't know the answer to that though. And generally, you're feeling as if you're well on top of this game still."

"Yeah, we're in a good spot. Yeah, I think it's probably flattened out a little bit with this older ball. But yeah, Gaz has bowled nice and yeah, it's pretty warm. So pretty challenging conditions out here for the boys, particularly with the bowler down."
 
Siraj is a proper no.11 batter. Shouldn't come earlier. The captain&coach are clueless once again. He doesn't have game awareness either.
 
If not for Rohit & Kohli, Australia was ripe for taking on this tour.

In last tour as well, these 2 contributed next to nothing.
 
117 over left for this game.... Australia need first 3 wickets below 44runs

and then to take 13 wickets within 117 overs.
 
The schedule was drawn in such a way that first 3 venues were the toughest venues for tourists. Perth, Adelaide oval (pink ball too), Gabba. Generally it is hard to beat them there despite the last win of INdia, Windies. Their plan was to go 3-0 and seal the series and not allowing India to come back at the MCG and SCG.
 
Biggest advantage for Australia is they have two bowlers in pair to do the damage. Even hazlewood got a wicket. India had just one bowler.
 
This is so funny they take tea breaks as if all the rain breaks weren't enough. No wonder entire world laughs at Test Cricket.

Imagine 180 mins of Soccer and call it Test Soccer.
 
Even if they enforce follow on India should back themselves to draw this as there is more rain expected. But i don't have much of a trust though.

But test cricket is tough. Imagine playing for 7 hours a day. Fast bowlers are some of the fittest people on earth.


Batsmen. Even batting for long periods is not easy.

If shami and prime ishant were there we would have routed Aussies.

This is the weakest bowling attack since 2021


2015 to 2022 is the world's goat Asian pace attack. We just have crappy batsmen.

Even in that period. Even right now.

What happened to pant? Is he getting exposed now post injury? He isn't the same?

I think Pant is a middle order batsman. Batting at 5 with 3 down getting out inside 10 overs means he has to do the job of an opener. That is taking his potency away.
 
It's likely that India will be followed on. Need at least 2 sessions of rain (60 overs) to save the match. I don't see the second inning lasting more than 60 overs, given the current form of the Indian top order.

This is happening due to ineptness of Kohli, Rohit & Gill
 
This Siraj drama needs to be stopped. What was the need for him to take a single in 5th bowl of the over?
