India tour of Australia Nov'20-Jan'21

@asprin is also an Indian World Cup Winner denier I believe

Not only that, England didn't win a WC either.

@asprin pessimistic mode: Switched on

On the contrary, I regard that post as one that will sit in my positive collection.

That was Gold!

Prithvi Shaw will soon be seen in "Wonderful Australia" commercials that promote tourism in Australia. They can add a * to the T&C with a disclaimer stating you get to play at Australian cricket grounds but you are to portray the clown.

So the drop has costed us 68 runs so far. I would say baring the drop if someone said that Australia will be 270/5 at the end of the day with a bowling lineup who has played 3 test matches combined, I will take this. We can always expect a collapse from Aussies. Lets get the remaining 5 as quickly as possible. Would prefer 400 or less.

More racism for the Indian cricketers.

What happened? I do not see anything in the news.

I think it's fair to expect that a #3 should anticipate to be out on the field within the first hour of an innings more often than not (like 7/10 times). How many 50 or century opening partnerships do we get in this day and age? Should be part of the job description I reckon.

This line of thinking is what led India to play KL Rahul as the third opener instead of a certain Pujara and throw away a victory on the back of an ATG innings from Kohli at Edgbaston.

Don't forget Umesh. He was involved in a great partnership with Kohli. DK was a major disappointment in that match. KL Rahul as a no.3 because of the obsession to the belief- White ball form would bring you in form as a red-ball Cricketer.

Must be referring to this - not quite sure what this slang 'bloody grub' means though

But I really do not understand the mentality of such 'fans'. I know this kind of behavior is defended as 'banter' and 'getting under the opponent's skin', but I personally find it so pathetic (not just talking about Aussies here but such spectators in any country including India). What is the fun in this? Its just outright bullying and looks so stupid - you are name calling someone who has most likely achieved a sh!tlload more than you have and is representing there country while you are chugging overpriced beer in a plastic cup Absolute losers imo

270'ish for 5 doesn't look that bad from an India perspective. I am ready to see India lose this test by any margin considering the team we're playing, but so far, NOT BAD AT ALL MAN!!

I mean, from here on, a fight like what we did in SCG, is all that we need. Honestly I am not going to care dissecting the day's play. Getting 5 Aussie wickets before 300 to me, is still a good effort.

Indian fans are no less. May be we do it in the native language that is why they can't understand it. But Indians are nasty as well. I have witnessed it openly in stands.

Sundar and Siraj were called "grubs."

The thing I fear and feel shame about is what is going to happen is when these guys come to India.

I don't think they they are trying to banter or getting under the skin. They are just disgusting people who live by trying to bad mouth others.

Just like forum and social media trolls.

 

[RichieBGM]

Looks like 350 is now about best the Aussies can hope for. This Gabba deck has turned into a swinger's paradise this morning and this band of Indian rookie bowlers have taken full advantage..

 

[RichieBGM]

Useful tailender runs boys.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Washington has bowl well in this innings - kept it fairly simple wicket to wicket and with his height making use of the Gabba bounce to very good effect.


And Yeah TAIL wagging again - Susprise anybody
