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

[Croma]

As I said before...

WHen Head comes out to bat... Indians turn off their tv/smartphones/ipads etc

 

[mominsaigol]

When i see Rohit sharma i will have that face. lol

He has not owned any captain like he has owned Rohit sharma.

Okay so thr new narrative for a player to be successful is to own every captain on the planet.

Scoring against favourite teams which includes the no 1 bowler isn't allowed .

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

He scored a 150 against England and dominated them in their own den just recently? He even rescuced Aus from sa in the semi final?

He even scored 90 something when bunrah was captain. It's just the other batters failed and he wasn't going to chase 500 alone.

Head scores when AUS top order fails

 

[followed]

Siraj is getting the right treatment from the crowd and australian batsmen.
He is way too arrogant for such a mediocre trundler.

Not narrative. We as Indian fans follow every ball. So we know about the short comings of our team better than others.

@mominsaigol
Is pitch flat or what? Had tinge of green but it could be an illusion.

It could easier to bat as grass dries but I expect Indian batsmen like coolie rohit to fail. When pressure is on. As always. They are both nothing compared to head.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He starts with 5 boundary fielders lol I mean

Akash was getting a lot of zip off the surface. Head got lucky against him

Acha Jee? We have expert indians over here saying

1) India is 1-0 in test because Pink Ball doesnt count.

2) Ashwin and Jadeja are Shaun Pollock level All time greats

3) VVS Laxman and Virat Kohli are superior test batters to Root and root hasn't reached their level.

4) Ms Dhoni is the greatest Finisher of all time with his zero overseas centuries

5) Current 2024 India would completly demolish classic Australia including mcgrath in their own aussie den with rohit as captain. (Ironically you said this hahaha)

.

What brilliant insights you guys have

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit sharma is allowing another game to drift. He did the same in India when Southee batted at Bengaluru with Rachin. After 0-3 he should have been fired. Can't believe theyr etained him

 

[BouncerGuy]

Stay on topic guys.

Sorry dude . not even going to respond to these random responses which makes zero sense

 

[jnaveen1980]

This will be 5th straight loss for Rohit as captain

 

[Mamoon]

Travis gets another head from India

 

[mango_bite77]

Hitman was too heavy to take that

 

[jnaveen1980]

Reddy is an average trundler. Rohti sharma dropped Head lol

 

[BouncerGuy]

Head is gonna score big here...

Grass can help retain moisture which slows down the pitch. Under the sun it will get quicker

 

[jnaveen1980]

ROhit dropped 6 catches in NZ series. I knew this guy would bring bad luck to us.

Runs against these poor trundlers don't count. LOL

India needs to kick out Rohit, kohli, ashwin, jadeja to win matches.

 

[mango_bite77]

How dare you to speak against ATGs ?

 

[Ahmed216]

Don't think a result is possible with 2 more days of rain forecast

 

[BouncerGuy]

Ravi Shastri said, "Travis Head is known as Travis Headache in India".

True, very true

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

AUS taking advantage before new ball

 

[followed]

Steve Smith looks ominous now.
His feet are moving much better now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Don't think a result is possible with 2 more days of rain forecast

Hope that forecast fails. I don't want Rohit to get away with a draw. He should be humiliated as a captain.

 

[jnaveen1980]

We won with even more pedestrian team last time under Rahane who was far far superior to Rohit as captain

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Head will score double ton within this session if they dnt dismiss him with New ball

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian batsmen these don't bat more than 5 or 6 overs. So it is innings defeat written all over

 

[mominsaigol]

@Ab Fan what an ATG jadeja is yaar. I'm so inpressed

 

[jamie smith]

head set for a 200

 

[Ahmed216]

Hope that forecast fails. I don't want Rohit to get away with a draw. He should be humiliated as a captain.

So who should be the next captain? Cant be Bumrah due to workload issues

 

[jnaveen1980]

So who should be the next captain? Cant be Bumrah due to workload issues

Bumrah for this series, if not someone else may be Pant for now. I know not ideal. But Rohit sharma should have been fired for home series whitewash.

 

[jamie smith]

over reliance on bumrah is going to cost india the series

 

[jamie smith]

rohit has been mediocre in tests on pitches that even slightly helps the bowlers . he is a certified FTB like jaiswal

Bumrah for this series, if not someone else may be Pant for now. I know not ideal. But Rohit sharma should have been fired for home series whitewash.

 

[Ahmed216]

Poor bowling from Jadeja. He can be accurate but is bowling wide freebies

 

[jamie smith]

shubman gill may be a potential candiate

So who should be the next captain? Cant be Bumrah due to workload issue

 

[Hitman]

Rohit Sharma, the Test batsman and captain is a joke. Can't wait to see the end of him and Kohli in the Test team.

 

[jamie smith]

Poor bowling from Jadeja. He can be accurate but is bowling wide freebies

Surprising to see how Jadeja became inefficient in containing the batters! His defensive bowling was as good as his wicket taking abilities.

 

[jnaveen1980]

very lethargic. He allows the game to drift. He makes blunder after blunder.

Lol Travis head his showing overrated trundler siraj his real place.

 

[Justcrazy]

This game likely to be a dull draw

 

[jamie smith]

the problem with india is that their all star players are dwindiling at the same time

 

[Justcrazy]

I am surprised Head is averaging only around 45 in test

 

[Hitman]

This game likely to be a dull draw

I'd take a dull draw over a likely innings defeat.

 

[Hitman]

I am surprised Head is averaging only around 45 in test

He is starting to peak.

You are still not offering explanation how he failed against a bang averag ebowling attack of Pakistan and rookie attack of West Indies.

 

[jamie smith]

watch ind bat,pitch will suddenly become a minefild

 

[jnaveen1980]

Just listen to warner "YOu gotta have a plan" he has said 1000 times lol Rohit sharma captaincy is getting ripped to shreds by everyone

 

[jamie smith]

icymi he scored a 120 iodd against wi in 1st test

You are still not offering explanation how he failed against a bang averag ebowling attack of Pakistan and rookie attack of West Indies.

 

[Justcrazy]

New Ball and Bumrah takes it straight away , there we go.

 

[jamie smith]

Just listen to warner "YOu gotta have a plan" he has said 1000 times lol Rohit sharma captaincy is getting ripped to shreds by everyone

This literally feels like watching a ODI here . Spread out field , just a lone slip fielder . Very defensive captaincy from rohit.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit sharma doesn't have long format captaincy experience like Rahane who led Mumbai to Ranji trophy title. He is state captain. He doesn't know how to handle different phases of test match. He has no clue about how to trap batsmen.

 

[kingusama92]

Big moment in the match here.

 

[mominsaigol]

More then Travis, I'm more excited to see smith score a century.

I want the big man to come back in form

 

[jamie smith]

head owning bumrah here

 

[jnaveen1980]

More then Travis, I'm more excited to see smith score a century.

I want the big man to come back in form

This is one of this hardest 100 given the form. Well made 100 if he gets it. An example for all those who are out of form. How to guts it out.

 

[jamie smith]

really want to see smudge back in form

More then Travis, I'm more excited to see smith score a century.

I want the big man to come back in form

 

[jnaveen1980]

Big moment in the match here.

That ship has sailed. FIelders are standing on the boundary. No energy from anyone. Also Bumrah has bowled too many overs already for the day. He doesn't have the same energy level

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think it is bump ball

 

[jamie smith]

hope bumrah gets injured so he cant play the ct and riz can score a 100

That ship has sailed. FIelders are standing on the boundary. No energy from anyone. Also Bumrah has bowled too many overs already for the day. He doesn't have the same energy level

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit sharma should announce retirement after this test.

 

[kingusama92]

Yeah, it's not looking too good.

If things drift with the new ball then it's definitely game over.

 

[Hitman]

Rohit sharma should announce retirement after this test.

More chances of Sunny making a comeback at the age of 75.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bumrah is bowling at 128 kph. NOt good. Niggle or cramp or tiredness

 

[Romali_rotti]

. Otherwise, it is definitely going to fall apart for them leading to 400+.

I want it to fall apart, that's the only way Kohli and Sharma will get dropped.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Akash deep is the best on view today. Very unlucky.

 

[jamie smith]

Yeah, it's not looking too good.

If things drift with the new ball then it's definitely game over.

is the new ball doing anything

 

[mango_bite77]

Smith was walking wicket for last 2 years

 

[jnaveen1980]

is the new ball doing anything

No gun barrel straight.

 

[Ahmed216]

Why are they trundling with new ball? Where's Bumra?

 

[Romali_rotti]

Wow Steve Smith either his 10th 100 vs India.... Well played

 

[sweep_shot]

Well done, Head and Australia.

AUS - 302/3 (81 overs).

 

[jnaveen1980]

Excellent 100 by SMith.

 

[jamie smith]

still boasts a batting average of 57

Smith was walking wicket for last 2 years

 

[Hitman]

I want it to fall apart, that's the only way Kohli and Sharma will get dropped.

The only way both of them will retire is if both of their wives go on a hunger strike.

Rohit, Virat hatao,
Indian Cricket Bachao!

 

[Romali_rotti]

Lol the look on Rohits face. This kid just wants to get off the field and concede this match

 

[mominsaigol]

My oh my, incoming tantrums from Indians.

I always back my boys smith and Travis. I believe when no one else does.

 

[BouncerGuy]

10th hundred against India in 41 innings... SMITH YOU BEAUTY
