  1. I feel sads for Kuldeep. Guy cant get a match. Not sure if India made right call picking Sundar over him. and they kept mentioning Sundar had not played any first class match since 2017 before the Gabba test. I still dont know why - was he not good enough to merit selection for his state team? Or he had no interest in first class? Or something else?
  2. This is true. I am not very good with timing of things.
  3. With that said, Stokes to bat for my life. Jadeja to field for it. Neither to bowl for it.
  4. I was looking at only stats. Jadeja is better by some margin on difference between batting avg and bowling avg over last 5 years: https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=allround_average;qualmin1=20;qualval1=matches;spanmin1=01+jan+2016;spanval1=span;template=results;type=allround
  5. Stfu you nerds with Pc v mac. Wth is this? The 90s.
  6. Also since this is home series, Rohit gonna hit like 3 centuries in 4 matches.
  7. BCCI hasnt officially said anything about selection beyond 2 matches, so not sure. but seriously i wasnt watching and jadeja has become the best all rounder in the world. His batting avg over last 3 yrs is good enough to merit selection as the fifth specialist batsman (above Ajinkya) right now. Crazy. (Though I am not suggesting this, just reviewing the stats).
  8. tests are just not financially sustainable/viable unless it involves one of the big 3. And the big 3 dont play long series except with themselves and some traditional rivals. and thats why icc members made the rule to allow 2 test match series. Otherwise, hard to see each country getting to 6 series each in 2 years. you really cant blame the kiwis. They are a small dinky country. They did best given their circumstances. as much as i test cricket, it definitely is on its way out. younger kids definitely dont care about it. I see some of the next generation of players not even trying for test - just t20 and odi. Bang bang, yorker wowzas You know it when commentators have to mention how amazing it is in every single session of every single match. If it was something more cricket fans agreed with, you wouldnt have to say it everytime. But test match is going the way of manual transmissions - whether we accept it or not with all that said, test championship is an awesome idea gives value to dead rubber matches - gives india reason to go for win instead of draw on the fourth match and merely retain the border gavaskar trophy.
  9. Indian selectors can never take bold steps. Just keep Ajinkya as test captain .. or at least until he loses a test. Ajinkya is so calm under pressure or bad news (like losing every single first choice bowler). He has this demeanor of come what may, we will figure it out. It definitely had its effect on calming the team. And he can lead by example too.. last innings yesterday and in Melbourne after the 36. Kohli is much more of an emotional being and that suits the whiz bang formats so much more.
  10. He definitely frustrated me. But he frustrated Starc and Lyon so much more. Made them completely useless.
  11. I said India couldnt score 150 batting 4th in this pitch. I guess no one told Gill, Pujara, and Pant. highest successful chase at gabba. first aussie loss since 1988. india back to back series win in oz. so much young talent discovered. With that said, i love pat cummins. He is sooooo good. Just as good as McGrath
  12. Damn. This series is definitely one of the best ever. India coming back after down 0-1 to this with a B team.
  13. Dude. Just retire. Come back later if needed. Dont keep on messing this up. This is probably last chance to go for the win. But send in Pant. Not Agarwal.
  14. Shubman Gill. Holy hell. Only 21. This guy is going to break all the records.
  15. Lol. He is continuing. Great.
  16. Oh this is perfect retire hurt Pujara. Cmon. This is it to get Pant out.
  17. Pitch was worse on day 4 than day 5. Or these aussie quicks are tired and not able to hit the cracks. They could probably go for it at this point... it seems even Pujara is speeding it up after lunch. Pant, Thakur, and Washington need to get promoted if we lose wickets with runs flowing. Akinkya and Mayank with the rearguard to draw it out if needed.
  18. Yeah, hard to see India making even 150 on this pitch now. Only chance is to promote Pant and Thakur as 3 and 4 and just go bang bang and see if they can luck in with some runs - time to play T20. If not, Pujara, Ajinkya, Agarwal, and Washington to block it out. And lots of prayers.
  19. India got really really strong bench. Ipl doing wonders even for test matches.
  20. Pant is a player you have to keep around for 15 matches. Average at best (but mostly garbage) in 14 of those. Then the one where he makes you question if he is the best batsman on the team. If he played another 10 overs, India would have won.
  21. There are no batsman after these two. Jadeja dont count. These guys cant get out. No dreams of a win.
  22. Pant is the man. Almost pulled a rabbit out of the hat. But still Australia’s game to lose with an hour to go and 5 wickets in hand.
