Border Gavaskar Trophy 24/25 - India in Australia.

[Bigby Wolf]

If management is any serious going into the future give Gill, Jurel and Sarfaraz a chance in Sydney (yeah forecast don't look good) but this is high time to look into future and give them a good run.

If Pant gets going anything is possible here

 

[Bigby Wolf]

I would rather see us lose in 3 days then see Virat and Rohit in this lineup. We dropped Pujara and Rahane for the same reason, let the selectors act fair and not hypocrite.

Jurel, Padikal, Abhimanyu, plenty of talent who ll do better then both of them.

There are 4 Tamil Nadu players tailor made for test matches are ready.

One is already playing Washi Sundar the othe being Sai Kishore, Sai Sudarshan and Abhimanyu Easwaram.

[Aislabie]

There's only one Joel Wilson

Aussie fans have a reason to feel outraged

Alright folks. That is it for India. There was only one team who looked like they learnt from their past mistakes and the are 7 wickets away from a victory. Kudos to them.

The problem with defensive batting is that bowlers get into rhythm and bowl one of those wicket taking delivery. I'm not saying go for the target but don't score at 1.5 rpo. That's pretty sad.

I said it before, I'll say it again. The 1st Test win was a fluke. This team was never meant to win the series.

Australia fully deserve the series win.

If it wasn't for all the rain it would have been 2-1 by now.

Have a great chance today to do that.

90 down . 250 to go

Sai Kishore is a bowler, right? Or can he bat? Asking we have Axar and Kuldeep in the ranks so if he isnt an extraordinary spinner, I don't see him in the team. Sai Sudarshan and Easwaran are good shouts. I'm appalled how people have already sidelined Vihari. Nobody talks about the brilliant player. He can roll his arm over too much like Head or say Sehwag or Sachin from the yesteryears.

I also don't think Sarfaraz is in the right mindset at the moment. He is a phenomenal talent but have been playing on the up far too many times. I wish he learns to give respect to the bowlers when it's due. He is too good a player to be wasting the chances.

Contrary to the popular opinion here, I believe Jurel does not cut it. We need players who can score Daddy hundreds and not just 50s or below 150 scores. Jurel unfortunately doesn't seem like that kind of player. I would be happy to be proven wrong though.

In an ideal world, I would have this lineup:

Jaiswal
Easwaran
Pujara
Vihari
Gill/Rahul
Pant
Reddy
Sundar
Axar/Kuldeep/Jadeja/Akashdeep/Arshdeep (depending on the pitch)
Bumrah
Shami

Backups:
Siraj
Sarfaraz

 

[ddrap14]

Honestly I'd throw Marnus on and try and bowl something that tempts Rishabh

Edit: or him

Vihari is past. He is also commentating right now.

 

[Paranoid Kendroid]

Pujara

Oh god not him again please. The "test specialist" who shat the bed in both WTC finals despite playing plenty of county cricket. He has disappointed so much in those last years of his.

Also like @WubbaLubbaDubDub said, Vihari ain't it anymore.
