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

[Bigby Wolf]

In my opinion, India are reaping what they have sown. In previous series (namely, the England series), India prepared turners and Ashwin and Jadeja ran through the line-ups after Indian batting had set up a good platform on the first day.

England scored 400+ on three ocassions and still ended up losing the pitches were no turners by any means in that series.
The difference is the quality between (Moeen Ali ,Rashid and Lyon,O'keefe).Indian batters were constantly put under pressure by these Australian spinners who bowled superbly in the three innings they played in the series so far.

This is absolute surprise here... I don't think any one from the subcontinent was expecting this kind of performance from Indian batting. Lyon emerged as a genius here. This what we called a first rate preparation from a team which should be benchmarked. Indian team is disappointing big time to a humiliation level. Where is the Garry chant guy lol....

Is he called GARY because of the footballer?

India's bowling attack isn't better than ours and between the two we have the best individual batsman.

Given the conditions, India's attack is much better than their Australian counterparts. Even when it comes to the batting lineup, India's is better in these conditions imo. More depth and variety on paper.

"Garyyy" is Nathan Lyon, the Australian off-spinner so nicknamed by wicket keeper Matthew Wade, who apparently is a fan of former AFL player and Footy Show host Garry Lyon

India have lost just two test series at home in this century !!

AUS 2004
ENG 2012

Can Australia make it three in 17 years

The point being that India should stop preparing pitches that spin that much from day one. It shortens and ruins the game. There are 5 days, allow the match to play out rather than getting a result in 3-4 days, which happened in the first game and looks like might happen again.

Kohli goes! The slide!

Let the bodies hit the floor! Rahane next to go!

Called it guys!

India skittled out for a paltry 189!

Aus close on 40 without loss![DOUBLEPOST=1488641322][/DOUBLEPOST]Good job Nathan. Victory inside of 3 days!

Even with bringing Karun Nair in, India fail to get a big total but credit goes to Lyon as well for getting those 8 wickets. I think 189 is well below par but India can still come back into the game if they get quick wickets on the next morning. I think India just didn't expect Australia to do as well as they did now, as Lyon and Co have definitely improved from the 2013 tour. India might have been imprepared facing Lyon and SOK after facing bowlers such as Batty, Rashid and Ali who were not really great in the England series. Lyon bowled superbly though. Rahul played well for his 90 and deserved a century but the rest of the batting lineup didn't fire. Hopefully India can get a few more wickets in the morning, to be back into this match.

I felt Nair looked much better than Rahul who kept giving chances. Karun looked very secure against Lyon, perhaps the only batsman who managed to read him well. Rahul was very lucky to last till he did.

Not trolling you for this but @Bluebagger must note down a word from your post - "lucky". Do you remember anything, mate?

Indian players need to shut up and perform. Not yap in press conferences!

 

[Rehan_24]

Just watched Kohli's LBW... What the hell he was doing.. It was pretty pretty ordinary ball.... Lyon himself said that it wasn't any special delivery.
