Trichromatic Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 After 2 practice games, things can't go downhill from here. Whoever replaces openers will be better for sure. Bowling is already doing well, captain will select right combination in next 2 matches. Rahane, Kohli and Pujara are in form. Pant has been contributing. Next match will have flat pitch - so expecting a drawn game there. 4th test will be won by India after getting hang of Australian conditions completely after 4 practice games. @Cricketics @Global.Baba UrmiSinhaRay and Tridibans_16 1 1 Link to comment
Global.Baba Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 SCG should be our best bet but Australia have a better spinner than us MCG is 50-50 UrmiSinhaRay and Stan AF 1 1 Link to comment
sm332 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Most likely outcome is 3-1 to Oz largely because we wont take the hard calls needed to get team combo right sandsaims, Stan AF and UrmiSinhaRay 2 1 Link to comment
Deleted_User_1 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Lo @Cricketics Number Do aa gaya arsenic pee ke India is going to lose 1-2 or 1-3. Things are going to go downhill from here. Team management has no strategy and our batting is weak. Edited December 18, 2018 by dandaroy Real McCoy, UrmiSinhaRay and nevada 1 2 Link to comment
R!TTER Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 With this tail we won't win jack, criticize the top order all you want but this pathetic lot was the significant difference in England as well as here. Just because they're picking up wickets easily, on helpful wickets, doesn't mean they throw their wickets away! I mean I've seen the 1999 capitulation down under but even that lineup had a better trail than this bunch of chimps, unequivocally this is the worst tail I've seen in the last 40 years, after the spin quartet disbanded.

Cricketics Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 One can make the tail as much stronger, until your openers keep getting out cheaply every inning in partnership, it will be hard to win any test. Opening fix karo, sab theek hoyega. Warna bhagwan bharose . Link to comment
fineleg Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Openers extremely weak or newbie/rookie, 10-2 scores regular Batting temperament for most bats esp Rahane/Pant lacking, they hack and get out. Tailenders 8,9,10,11 contribute total 5-10 runs Draw not possible, 1-3 Aus win series UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
R!TTER Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Tail has to contribute & the difference, like I said, in the England series was that the old ball is relatively easier to score of. It's no secret why Curran & Buttler, Rashid scored lots down the order while England's top order capitulated in all but 1 innings. Same here, whoever you pick as openers will probably not last long enough against this attack, so we must strengthen our lower middle order as much as we can.

Austin 3:!6 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hope so...it will be a great shame and dissapointment if we dont win this series. I think we played some wonderful test cricket in all 3 away tours this year. This is the best I hv seen Indian fast bowlers bowled. The only reason we lost bcoz of our pathetic 4th innings batting. If we win the toss for next 2 games...we will win the series else no.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Tridibans_16 1 Link to comment
Adi BB Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Everything is toss dependent. Just put on a decent score and the opposition batsmen will crumble under pressure. Mcg might be a super patta so a draw might be a possibility with a bit of rain . India has won the third test in SENA this year so... UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
rtmohanlal Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 it would be worthy to note as to who does the most damage ..... a spinner in Lyon. If a spinner can cause more trouble to comparatively better players of spin bowling in Indians on AUS pitches, why can't our spinners as a group create more trouble to the lesser accomplished players of spin, the Aussies in AUS?????

prasen82 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I say let's go hyper aggressive and go in with 2 spinners- jadeja,ashwin, pandya, bumrah and shami. The spinners will just keep containing on one end- Negative line while pacers will try to attack full throttle on other end . Anyways ishant is only containing , jadeja can do the same. At least we will have batting till 9. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Pant is useless, sacrifice him for 3rd test , get Parthiv to open with Mayank, Add Aswin, Bhuvi and Pandya. Get rid of Umesh and sacrifice Ishant to get better batting from Bhuvi...We need to go with Mayank, Parthiv, Pujara, Kohli, Rahane, Vihari, Pandya, Ashwin, Bhuvi, Shami/Ishant, Bumrah Batting is very weak overseas, we need rear guard like a big fat ass!

R!TTER Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) It won't, good teams don't need toss to bail them out 9 times out of 10. As much as I admire our rankings I can't help but feel vindictive about some of the team selection & many batting/bowling policies this year, especially for away tours! We lost at Centurion, Southampton not because of the toss but we picked largely an inadequate squad for the conditions. We've probably lost just a couple or at most 3 tests due to the toss. Lord's being a prime example but even there going in with 2 spinners was a brain dead move, especially after the pitch was covered for 1 whole day due to the rains.

vijay50 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Expect kohli to chose the following brainless selection for 3rd test: Mayank Rahul/ Rohit pujara kohli rahane vihari/ Pandya Pant Ashwin/ Pandya Ishant Shami Bumrah They will brainlessly play Pandya like Umesh and he will make less than 10 runs. For some reason Kohli think Bhuvneshwar is trundler and doesn’t have faith in him and hence won’t play him. Anyday he is better than Pandya except Kohli who thinks otherwise. Link to comment
