Australia tour of India (Feb '17/Mar '17)

[zwarrior]

I don't know why Indian fans are getting so pessimistic, this is a very good Indian side so have some faith. It's an opportunity for Virat to move from a good captain to a great captain.

I think we are just stating what we are seeing. 200 is already a good target and Smith is still out there. In this kind of pitch, you can't expect Ashwin, saha, jaddu, jayant to bat. So, we are playing with only 5 batsmen. And their spinners are lethal too thanks to this pitch. We don't play spin good except for Pujara and Rahane. And Rahane is looking shaky. So, there is no way we can win this.

I reverse-reverse jinxed our team, I take all the blame on me, 1-0.

 

[zwarrior]

It was bound to happen

If anything, law of averages was going to catch up. And it has. 1-0 by tomorrow for Australia

This kind of pitch only suits the visitors, not us. The sooner they understand this, the better

I don't think India asked for this pitch. I remember seeing an article which stated that Kumble and Kohli are not telling what type of pitch to prepare. It's probably like curator messed this up.

And I swear I will freaking hate any Indian cricketer who blames pitch for the loss.

I was expecting a good fight but not this. What a shocker. Once again India making a new comer a hero.


I don't see India winning/drawing this Test now. Move on and try and make it 1-1 in the next Test.

So much for the 4-0 talk. Like I had said earlier, do not write Australia off. They are not that kind of a team. Even in their last 0-4 drubbing, they looked determined to win matches.

It doesn't matter whether you jinx, reverse jinx or do anything
It was just poor batting which led to the collapse

 

[Yash.]

India's over-rate is 21 per hour

DAYUMN!

 

[zwarrior]

We already dropped smith twice.

 

[Saroj padhy]

Those who said India will whitewash Australia. Confidence is good, but overconfidence is not.

 

[Yash.]

Handscomb gone!

 

[zwarrior]

Damn. Forgot about Renshaw. Solid players in the crease now. India should break this pair now before it's too late.

The day , this "jinx" word has come in trend , everyone has started using it & seem to be telling themselves Supreme .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this match , Australia had their "Kismat" >> Fortune .... Sometimes luck favours too ........ otherwise Bangladesh couLd've easily won the WT20 2016 match against us
Because how often do you see Kohli OUT! at 0 , that too rashly & the spin duos not taking wickets easily on a way too much spin-friendly wicket?

 

[Bluebagger]

Surely it's time for a bowling change?

 

[Bigby Wolf]

We already dropped smith twice.

Thrice.

Where is that guy who was jumping all-round here and there whenever Pakistan's wicket falls against Australia. lol...

Anyway, I think India still not out from this match, You never know with their strong batting even if they are 5 solid ones looking at the moment. It very much depends how early they restrict Australia, Smith wicket is key...

PS: Cricket needs good even pitches which can support both teams in my neutral view. I am against the extra home advantage tactics.. Even though they are allowed by ICC. Maybe the curators messed it up and Kholi didn't want such kind of track. It can happen in sub-continent. I can remember against SA, Inzy wanted a turning wicket as he was about to induct Mushy and on that match day, Inzy was seeing a dead rubber instead.....
