Border Gavaskar Trophy 24/25 - India in Australia.

[Bigby Wolf]

Geez what an anticlimax

Just what Australia needed a runout.

 

[Fenil]

I thought it was a mistake from Kohli to not respond to the call. He is too experienced a player to be told to make a loud yes/no call especially when he is at the non-striker's end.

Things were getting slightly comfortable but we have lost the advantage.

Virat goes too. Another nick behind. We have thrown it away. Australia significantly ahead now.

 

[Fenil]

Is a batsman allowed to play cricket with a baseball bat? A bat with no edges would be ideal for Virat at this point.

 

[Fenil]

2 lefties in the middle and another to follow. Perfect situation for Lyon to exploit tomorrow when the pitch might turn a tad too.

Why are india 6 to 1 win this this is a 240 all out job, like how will they chase down 500 in 4th innings

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Innings defeat loading.

 

[asprin]

Expect Rohit to say something along the lines of "15 mins of play on day 2 cost us the match" in the press conference.

I do not have any hope now, not even a miracle. India likely to fold for 200-220.

242 my prediction for India's first innings.

This game's done and dusted. Really want Rohit to take a break from Sydney/retire and let Bumrah captain. India can still make it 2-2.

 

[asprin]

242 my prediction for India's first innings.

Still would be a pathetic outcome.

 

[Fenil]

I will give it to Rohit though as he has played 1 Test less than Bumrah.

In 2018-2019, Bumrah wasn't even Indian.


He was handsome, and hit the deck hard like he wanted to create a hole in the pitch.

Something changed in August 2019, during the West Indies tour. He made a fitness blunder.
He got injured.

Since 2020, he bowls like he knows he is Indian. He bowls full and looks for swing - evidence of decline. He never hits the deck hard. He bowls like a stereotypical Indian.
In 2017, New Zealand struggled against Bumrah. In 2020, they dominated Bumrah.

Bounce is the sexiest part of fast bowling. Bumrah lost it in 2019.

Sam Konstas demonstrated just how much aura he has lost since that back injury in 2019.

Bumrah had the opportunity to create an aura in 2019.

Out of interest, what would satisfy you from Bumrah?

 

[Paranoid Kendroid]

He bowled like his genes had never been contaminated

Uh...

He wants him to hit the deck HARD, SUPER HARD

Only 21 wickets, should retire.
