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

[ParkedTheBus]

"Luck" surely the main culprit here. Why you just come across and post AGAINST someone's opinion? Did anyone/me stop you or question your posts/opinion (Except posts of your appreciation to so called GG)?

So Steven Smith wait for fielders to drop his catch and hope to get more runs and call himself the best batsman? If he got out on 1st instance then you wouldn't have posted this and would've said "Smith was very much in pressure. He needs to play well in next game"

How many chance does Kohli give in Australia? And how much Smith gives in India? If the same was the case for Vijay where his catch gets dropped then I bet a billion dollar, you would've logged into PlanetCricket and straightway click the 'Australia tour of India' thread and type the 'Lucky' word and post it within few seconds.

I most certainly didn't see these kind of posts when England kept dropping catches every two overs when they played against India. India has had more than its fair share of luck in the past few series.

Brilliant spell from Jadeja to begin the day. Bowling at the perfect places and giving the batsmen no time to settle.

This is an exceptional article. Sock has been one of the most unluckiest players of the past 5-6 years, glad to see him finally get his big break.
Jarrod Kimber: Steve O'Keefe chooses the big stage to defy beliefs | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

O'Keefe should have been in the team years ago but he was too much of a party boy they claimed and got up to mischief, because Warne, Ponting etc were angels. Warne's comments which were on TV no less showed that he's an idiot calling O'Keefe a white ball specialist lol Warne is a turnip that should stick to poker and harassing teenage girls on Twitter

I guess that Steve Smith is crap because Virat Kohli doesn't know how to use reviews

Luck things is bs ,its always taken into consideration when India doesn't do well.
No one bats an eye when Virat Kohli was dropped numerous times in the Melbourne test match in 2014.

Since being brought back in to the team because he's supposedly a great batsman Matthew Wade has produced 4, 7, 1*, 9, 29, 8 and 20. Pitiful stuff.

Fantastic century from Smith. That should shut up his critics.

We are in for a royal drubbing here. I hope this wakes us up to the challenge that this Aussie side has to pose. All the supporters and very likely the team themselves got too cocky after that tremendous unbeaten streak. Its going to end finally. There is no way 200, let alone 500 is going to be chased on that minefield.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Starc is again playing superbly taking the attack to the opposition.

 

[aditya123]

Umesh has been the saving grace today. We would otherwise be facing 600 in the final innings here. As it is, we are well on course to one of our biggest home defeats in a long long time.

I think Nevill should come back. It was harsh dropping him and Wade doesn't seem like the ideal wicketkeeper batsmen you want. His keeping is not bad though.

441 is target for India. Will be interseting to see how many will India make and how long will they be able to bat my guess is that we will be bundled out under 300 (maybe even less).
They will be under constant pressure by both pacers and spin bowlers of Australia.

He's probably a better keeper and certainly the better batsman. He should've walked into the side when he recovered from the injury.

Steve Smith critics? I think he's in the top 3 batsmen in the world at the moment across formats. It's just not one of his best innings like the stupid commentators are proclaiming. I think Renshaw has been the best batsman for Australia in this test and Starc's contribution invaluable. O'Keefe has done well and good to see some hard work rewarded but for me Starc has been the MOM.[DOUBLEPOST=1488005704][/DOUBLEPOST]I'll respond to some other posts addressed to me at the end of the day.

One down. Australia need just three more (Pujara, Kohli and Rahane) to win.

2 down
