How happy you are

I'm not happy but jeez it was embarrassing watching the Indian fans complain and give up so early.[DOUBLEPOST=1488879841][/DOUBLEPOST]

Very very happy to be proven wrong.

I lost my biggest wager yet on the Sportsbook event but no complaints. India made me eat my words. But I'll take it any day.

Enjoy the series win, I'm out.

This is some win for India, the only one this whole season that feels special. To do this after being so far behind in this test match after day 2 shows the character of this side. We can talk all day about the pitch but its been an even contest throughout. India on day 2 were exceptional without much luck. Since then its been a team effort. Rahul, Pujara, Rahane with the bat showed class to get us to 150-lead and beyond. Jadeja in the 1st innings with the ball and Ashwin in the 2nd. However, for me the defining contributions with the ball came from the two pacers who were constantly a wicket-taking threat in both the innings and hardly gave anything away.

Australia will rue this chance.

It all happens in the heat of the moment .

Cheaters NEVER prosper!

Its an overreaction to call him a cheat over that. It might be a spur of the moment thing. Not right but not enough to call someone a cheat.

First of all, I'm not looking for you to authenticate my opinion about me being right or wrong over calling him a cheat.

The heat of the moment only shows the true character of someone. What's the justification over that? I don't know the rules? If so, he doesn't deserve to be the captain of his first class team, let alone the captain of a brilliant country like Australia.

Gee, and people wonder why more members don't participate in these threads.

India will be having a happy dilemma for the next two tests. If Rohit and Shami get selected, who do they drop? Do they keep the winning combination?

I would prefer bringing back Jayant Yadav in place of Karun Nair. Nothing against Nair but Jayant deserves a longer run. Shami should also replace Ishant should he be picked in the squad.

That would leave Rohit searching for a seat in the team. Honestly, I don't see Kohli dropping anyone else on the team to make room for Rohit.

I offered an opinion just like you offered yours. I disagreed and was`nt authenticating your opinion.

Fair enough. I respect that.

Rohit should stay away from the test side. Imagine him coming in to bat instead of Rahane yesterday. We all know what the end result would`ve ended up being if that was the case.

lol. I believe in anti-jinx now.

I had lost all hope. I made no attempts to hide that and would have been gutted even though I was betting on India losing the match. But I enjoyed it thoroughly - the see-saw battle. Matches like these are always preferred over one-sided affairs and I hope it continues for the next two Tests too.

Our Neighbours and Australians in the every other internet page be like - Oh ! It a doctored pitch ,Kohli's a fu*kwit.....

 

[toecrusher71]

Loved kohli's press conference.Tight slap

Right @aditya123. Virat Kohli has basically said Australia were cheating. He didn't use that word, but he did as well. So, Smith and Australia pre planned this if Kohli is to be believed.

Not the first time either.
