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

[Devadwal]

Same peoples who were said indian cricket team is finished blah blah after 36 all out but they got biggest face plam when Indian team humiliated australia and won the series 2-1

 

[big_gamer007]

Pies? India got owned and Indian fans are hiding behind rain as an excuse and calling it a brave move?

The people who hide behind rain excuse are not true Indian fans, they are fake fans whose ego is too big to accept the flaws of the team and these are the kind of people who will never let us become world beaters.

Indian team is rubbish, apart from couple of bright spots they all suck and half of them should have retired couple of years ago.

The whole system in India for cricket is flawed, unprofessional and corrupt. And it’s not just cricket it’s country as whole so until that changes we will never be a ruthless top world beater team consistently irrespective of the money and lack of oppositions in a game like cricket.

 

[stani_pak]

1-1 result is smashing than what we will called 17-0 lose records .

Others team fan's ( Specially pakistan) are last one to talking about how was/ is getting smashed in australia against australia.

I mean .....

India was smashed last game and are currently getting so yes they are getting smashed

As cricket fans we can talk about if a team is getting smashed, this is a Pakistani forum majority of Posters are Pakistan, what you suspect for just to be silent

We call it as we see it and the current situation is India is getting Smashed (insert K.P emoji)

@Devadwal you and @Rajdeep seem to be the only loyal Indian team fans here as beside you two guys. I can't see anyone denying here that India is not being smashed at Gabba.

But ofcourse Rain will help India big time.

Irony that you're forgetting india did smashed australia in the first test and registered biggest Indian test win in australian soil( by runs)

 

[Amjid Javed]

I was a kid during his final years, i have some hazy memories of him. My father rates Bumrah as being better than Malcolm primarily due to a higher unpredictability factor..

Clearly your eye sight as a kid was impaired.

Its because our josh is always high for Indian cricket and that is why we are cricketjoshila's (no pun intended).

Win, loss or tie...we will always stand behind our Bharatiya team through thick and thin.

It's called nostalgia bias. Some people, like you, can't get over the fact that their childhood heroes can be emulated by the newer generations.

The problem is .. being a bhakt of Modi is not the same as being a blind fan of the indian cricket team. The results of the latter can be clearly be measured, propaganda won't work.

 

[Devadwal]

You are "hamein Tum se Pyar ha" type fans.

No we are not a blind fans . Kohli and Rohit is my favourite player's but i do want them to dropped for indian Team .

Whoever win the match for india is hero of me and currently Rohit as an batsman and captain is biggest liability for us.

Same for Our oldies spin legends ( Ash and Jadeja) .

India cricket team is not a property of anyone so they can play whenever they wanted ( Currently this is case as some of players are undroppable) .

But at same we have to back this team because they are representive of great nation india.

And we will continue the criticism when the test series ends because still we are in the series. 1-1 is series scoreline currently.

Aww the typical sore loser response, let's bring up another teams performance to divert attention from your own

Aussies have already taken indias down in WTC final and ODI WC final

Go and do your rain dance 🌧🌧

 

[Amjid Javed]

It's called nostalgia bias. Some people, like you, can't get over the fact that their childhood heroes can be emulated by the newer generations.

Plenty of bowlers have surpassed wasim and waqar. I have no issues with that.

But I'm not delusional like you think bumrah is on Same level as malcolm Marshall.

Look at quality of batsmen he compared to current test trash.

So quit with this nonsense about nostalgia bias. As soon as any non-indiam constructively says anything about your players you start crying and throwing your toys out of your pram.

Then again no surprise indians who can never take defeat gracefully and think the whole world revolves around them.

I'm well aware brother their very few Indian fans who are genuine Indian fans on this forumn. The rest don't know a thing or 2 about cricket.

They assume the world lives in India.

 

[BDfanforever]

Looks like Rohit made a mistake batting second. Day 2 was great for batting. It will always be mix of rain and cloudy conditions from here on.

 

[Amjid Javed]

lmao.

Bumrah rise hasn't triggered me at all. He's a good bowler in a poor era of test batting.

He's the boxing equivalent of klitchko brothers.

Fair play He's dominated in a test era where half the test teams don't even have a single world class batsmen (South africa, Pakistan, west indies, Sri Lanka, bangladesh).

not a single Indian has been able to counter the point that the overall quality of opposition test batsmen was better in 80s and 90s compared to now. That's is something that Indians will never accept, because they can't be objective.

Once Root and kohli retire there will essentially be no elite batsmen around. Not exactly much time left for KW or Smith either.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Australia looks well set to take this game, lets see if they can win a test match in their own home or will they again fail to win BGT.

The next two games are in conditions where India usually performs well so Aus should push to take a lead here.

The game can also end in a draw due to weather just like it did at SCG in 2018, we could have won 3 games on the trot if not for the weather. This game can be an equaliser for that SCG 2018 game.

Make an airtight case that the overall quality of opposition test batsmen was better in the 80s/90s, backed by evidence. I bet you can't. You're just waffling.

Bhumrah is not even the best bowler of this generation, Cummins and Rabada are better and Shaheen is more talented and has age on his side. Watch this space.

Of course brother, a country’s systems are a product of its state and the state is the result of its people, in Indian state corruption is deep rooted which trickles down into cricket administration as well.

People fail to understand basic things about the inter dependence of the state, its people and its systems.

It’s not just about losing a game of cricket, if you analyse it deeply you will understand the real issues.

Anyways not the thread for that.

Sure, there is plenty of corruption in India's cricket administration but I found it funny that you arrived at that conclusion from watching a couple of test losses in Australia.

I mean ... England haven't won a test in Aus in their last 15 attempts despite having the most professional board. Sometimes you just have to appreciate the opposition.

 

[Human786]

130 overs & it will be 2-1 here

I didn’t come to that conclusion by this series, I have been saying it since I joined PP like 8-10 years ago.

I just post the same message time and time again when we lose to reiterate the fact.

There are hundreds of reasons why you can’t compare cricket in India to any other country including Australia and England. At best you can compare it with cricket in Pakistan and BD, and I will give us (Indian people and Indian state) credit for at least not being as bad as those two states.

This is not the thread to delve into this topic tag in some other thread and I’ll be happy to elaborate on reasons tomorrow.

Lets compare batsman to batsman

Sidhu averages 34 away from home with 4 centuries, Head averages 29 with 0 centuries.

Sidhu also batted in the best bowling era as your friend and you suggested, also was an opener so Sidhu wins by a mile and a half.

Sidhu is probably 20th best batsman from India so Head is probably as good as 25th Ranked Indian batsman.

That’s how you use stats, lemme know if you want me to explain it to you like you’re 5 years old.

Yes India did Smash Australia in the first test and did a fine job there, but we are talking about the current situation of the series and currently, if we are being honest, Australia is doing the smashing

 

[jnaveen1980]

If you are going to go after every ball this is what happens. KL Rahul has never had such a great test career apart from sporadic good innings. But he kinds differentiates between test cricket and T20 cricket with simple leaves and soft hands. Going after new ball with hard hands repeatedly will lead to this. This is like 10th collapse i think in recent times. Pitch was not even that bad to bat on as one thought. There were a few jaffas which you expect with new ball. That is part and parcel of any normal opener. But these guys throwing the bat at every thing again and again match after match should receive harsh review from selection committee. Cannot play T20 cricket in Tests. There is nobody to play Pujara role here.

 

[Buffet]

Why not early start when we have lost so much time due to rain?

Day should start early.

 

[Devadwal]

Brainfade by Smith. Dropped a dolly at the 2nd slip and it was opening ball of the day 4.

 

[Devadwal]

Why are they chasing outside off stump Ball? Very poor

 

[Rajdeep]

Why not early start when we have lost so much time due to rain?

Day should start early.

According to rule only 30 mins extra time can be added in a days play irrespective of how much time lost. If a whole days game is washed out doesn't mean next day they will play 2 days cricket in one day.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Come on Aussies skittle them for <100 and put them back in

 

[Devadwal]

Rohit while running " m ruk gya tha yar " maybe he is missing ritika so please Rohit you can leave this team and enjoy the time with Ritika

 

[mango_bite77]

Good batting by KL, as he moves closer to his 50

 

[Hitman]

Rohit gone.

 

[Devadwal]

Rohit gone , idiot's is chasing the ball outside off instead playing with soft hands or just leave it

 

[Hitman]

Both Kohli and Rohit are disgrace to our Test team these days.

 

[kingusama92]

Why are they even playing Kohli and Rohit?

It's time to retire.

 

[Rajdeep]

Where is the rain when we need it? Will never trust weather apps.

 

[Hitman]

Why are they even playing Kohli and Rohit?

It's time to retire.

Along with us Indians, even you Pakistanis need to keep asking this question to the BCCI. Maybe then we'll hear and answer.

 

[Rajdeep]

Top class bowling from Cummins...bowling with pace and accuracy.

 

[Hitman]

I'm sure Sachin Paaji, even at this age, can score more runs than both Kohli and Rohit in Test cricket if he decided to wear his pads

 

[batandballbattle]

Time for Gautam to give Rohit a gentle pat on the back and explain to him his services will no longer be needed after this series.

 

[Vikram1989]

Rohit getting caught all the time while driving even though not able to move his feet an inch .its quite is a sight

 

[Vikram1989]

Time for Gautam to give Rohit a gentle pat on the back and explain to him his services will no longer be needed after this series.

Why not after this match .why to wait till.end of series drubbing

Gambhir's services are not required as well.

 

[Devadwal]

Quality of Rohit Sharma - Useless captain, useless batter, useless fielder, useless test cricketer

 

[Rajdeep]

If India can manage to avoid the follow on somehow, this game can be a draw. If not, I expect it to get over today itself.

Follow on score 246

 

[Devadwal]

[batandballbattle]

You don't usually drop the captain mid series.
Between series would be a good time for Bumrah to take up the mantle full time and get him inaugurated to the captaincy role

Gambhir's services are not required as well.

True, he is also on borrowed time.

 

[Rajdeep]

India batted so poorly this series bar that one innings that Nathan Lyon was not even required by Aussie.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit has singlehandedly brought down the morale of this team. This will be 5th straight loss as a captain

 

[jnaveen1980]

This series? lol What about last series. They failed in every single innings against NZ except one innings.

 

[Devadwal]

Rohit Sharma is someone who can't play without captaincy, because he knows once he leave the Captaincy he can't find a place in the team based on his performance.He is destroying team India with his selfish moves

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yes. On his way to becoming the worst captain India ever had.

 

[Rajdeep]

Pant sledged Tim Paine in 2018 saying 'Have you ever seen a temporary captain who is in the team without performance?'

Time for Aussies to repeat the same sledge to Indians now

 

[Rajdeep]

Looks like Hazelwood is injured and Aussies are one bowler down. Time for India to take advantage.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia reached 100 in 40th over. INdia is 96 in 28th over. All they had to do was see of 30 or 40 overs here. Then runs will easily come with older ball. Stupid chasing of wide ball have put us India in this situation. Bowling was not really threteaning. Pitch is good to bat. Yet managed to collapse.

 

[Rajdeep]

Australia with one bowler down and rain around the corner, everything seem to be going our way @Devadwal

 

[Vikram1989]

You don't usually drop the captain mid series.
Between series would be a good time for Bumrah to take up the mantle full time and get him inaugurated to the captaincy role

Bumrah can't be the captain. He cant play all the matches .better to give him more financial rewards till he is there.get pant as captain and groom him. Gambhir should be given a notice otherwise get old school coach like flower /Langer for tests alone.

 

[Vikram1989]

Has ravi said that ? If so he is the first one to acknowledge from Mumbai pr Mafia.

 

[ethan hunt]

Playing a half fit hazlewood over Boland Unnecessarily and playing Ganja lyon in every game will cost the Aussies.
Just play 4 good pacers and Boland always troubles India.

 

[Rajdeep]

And ita raining. Good night friends.

These short breaks helping bolwing side as they can come fresh while batsman lapse of concentration can be reason of their dismissal.

Comedy is both sets are trying to outdo each other but won't accept either one's part. Both players should retire from both formats instead of again shamelessly saying ct or wc 27.

Rohit fans hate Kohli, Kohli fans hate Rohit, both set of fans hate Tendukar. My almost 10 year old nephew shows more maturity than them.

 

[batandballbattle]

Hazlewood taken off for scans. So much of a reliance on the old boy's club that they rush back their best red ball bowler. Boland is a good replacement, they should trust him more.
