That bat and ball competiton today between Cummins and Kohli

[Cricketics]

I thought that is what the real test cricket lovers would love to watch. Even though our player is on the defenive end, but Cummins bowled a brilliant spell to Kohli. It was just top class, world class bowling effort by Cummins when he bowled to Kohli. 

 

Kohli counter attacked when India were in trouble. He took Hazlewood out of the attack but the replacement Cummins came out with a fiery spell to keep Kohli in check. 

 

This is what you want to watch as a test cricket fan. Cummins gave his all today and has been doing through out this series when he is batting, bowling or fielding. What a top player he is.

 

 

I loved the way Kohli handled him and he did try and had some plays and misses of Cummins but he would remind himself to not play the same shot again and come on the backfoot and play to the merit.

 

The battle was brilliant and perhaps the most fun to watch on Day 2 how well Cummins ran in and bowled fast with venom, intensity and passion and how our too player managed to survive.

 

Also loved Rahane’s attacking stroke play, reminiscence of the previous tour where he attacked Johnson.

 

Brilliant  day of test cricket on day 2.

Yes, Rahane on song is must and some sight as he doesn’t hold it back and likes to play his shots. A man of such class is always fun to watch in test cricket while on end end a serious battle is being fought. He takes away the pressure of the other batsman.

 

Actually for that matter, Pujara again was on cusp of playing another classy grinding knock if not for that down the leg unlucky dismissal, clearly our best bat so far in this series by a country mile. He contributed well again yesterday.

That 24 in the game context is worth at least 50.

True as it got Kohli going on the other end and fristrated many Aussie bowlers. Sucks the way he got out as Aussies really don’t know how else to get him out at this time as he has spent over 12 hours already in just 3 innings in games which haven’t seen big score. He is a big concern for Aussie attack whenever he comes in to bat.

Yes Kohli was immense today, mixed nerve jangling restraint with attack.

Fours and sixes are all well and good but the satisfaction of making the bowler stray a touch too straight allowing you to work an easy single after overs and overs of probing bowling must be one of the great feelings of batting.

This.

 

They have no clue how to get him out. The best bowling attack has no clue. Its amazing. And how good is kohli. An other amazing series.

Get a feeling that it's bowlers like Cummins who can trouble him the most. Fast on 5th stump hit the deck bowler  with the occasional sucker ball for driving
