Second Test between Australia (445 & 89/7d) and India (260 & 8/0) ends in a draw as the 5-match series is level 1-1

Somebody has to call these oldies out. Wasting space in the lineup.

Test cricket requires lots of patience and I doubt these grumpy old men has that.
Gavaskar praising rohit even for his dressing room antics is sufficient for oldies to survive .its clear that even though entire world name and shame them , superstars won't care till they rip off.
 
Nah, Aus has W/L of 20 at home since 2018 against all teams except India. They don't lack killer instinct.

They are just coming up against an opposition who is outplaying them in their den repeatedly. Aus needs to counter Indian better. Outside of Bumrah it's not even a great test team by India. I am dissapointed with Aus here.
So much hoopla after 1 good session by India in a game that is heavily affected by the weather. Australia is still far ahead and can easily win this test with at least a day’s of gameplay. Show your disappointment with Australia once the series is over and India has won.

Nah, not this game only. Aus was bossing it. For this game it's mostly frustration.

It's over a long period when playing India at home. Only one test win came outside of Pink ball in the last 3 series so far. India is not even that strong due to overrelying on Bumrah. I was expecting Aus be up 2-0 by now.

It's surely a poor luck here with rain. Anyway, if Aus can't win series with 4 non-rain test then can't complain about rain. 4 tests are long enough.
 
Rain is pouring down. No chance for a result .

1-1 scoreline after 3rd test ,nice result for india .now we need to win one of the test to retain the BGT series record 5th successive times.

:kp

We should bet our best chance in scg .we should hope youngsters and spinners will come good there. mcg and scg are far more easier than the first there venues. So it should settle all the youngster's nerves as we have not lost the series even though we are awful .

There is an outside chance for WTC final? I know it is only like 5% chance.

Wish we had Kuldeep in the mix. Too bad he has gone down the pecking order. On a large ground like this he would be a potent force

Even we have kuldeep, rohit will think its best for a fast bowler and play siraj. In worst case he thinks we need aswin for batting cushion. U can't trust mota bhai

Sydney will be most likely another draw so need to win the MCG test .

I hope Rohit injured anyhow before MCG test .
 
I think Australia are a bowler short and thats why are not in a hurry to score and declare.
 
Jeez, what a stupid shot. India just wanted some quck wickets to keep top order low in confidence.
 
Can bumrah take 2 more to complete the first 10 fer of the his career which is missing from the GOAT
 
Most Test wickets for India in Australia
52 Jasprit Bumrah (Avg 17.21)
51 Kapil Dev (24.58)
49 Anil Kumble (37.73)
40 R Ashwin (42.42)
35 Bishan Bedi (27.51)
 
Why is rohit allowing bumrah to open the bowling here ? Nothing to gain . He's making him bowl like a work horse. Hope they drop rohit and kohli - the two leeches
 
Just wait Bumrah to bowl his spell, easiers runs against others.
 
It would have better to not have this ...

3 top order gone in 8 overs.
 
This test match which was dominated by Aussies for the most part is now balancing.
 
Why is Bumrah bowling 5th over?

This test result is already decided so why they are taking undue risk with him ?
 
Good shot by Head. Just bat there for 10 over now without losing wickets.
 
Only 1 ball technically was a wicket ball and that was by legend bumrah to khawaja. In normal circumstances score would have been 18-1
 
Amazing brainy rohit is not even trying to attack head during an inconsequential innings. He should have attacked more instead he simply let's the game dictates .He should try to poke at weak spots of head and try it out later.
 
Bumrah has been twice as good as the next best bowler this series, and we are talking about the likes of Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood at home.

GOAT 🐐
 
Lol
Why is it horrible they know this match is already a draw with another showers coming after 10 20 minutes, lets just attack and try to score some quick runs and bring India to bat again.
In 10 overs , its not even 30 runs. Aus was not trying to attack that much rather have a good game.

4 down is ok if Aus was 60 runs in 10 overs.
 
Aussies 4 down.

I think all 3 results are possible still.

Aussies are known for dramatic declarations
 
This game is heading towards a draw. 2nd session and Australia is still batting. 5 out though
 
Proving hard to smack Indian bowlers around, Aussies were probably expecting gentle pies. :ssa

It's never a good idea for low confidence batsmen to not get any time in middle here. Yes, its going to a draw, but 2 more tests are coming. I would have liked top order to spend some time or simply go for quick runs. Nothing happened in 11 overs.

You think smith will play that kinda shot for 4 runs if they were not trying to make a game out of this?

Let's just enjoy it it's better for viewer's as well to make this match interesting, I am pretty sure the next rain will be the end of this boring test match.
