That's the cricinfo link to the match you were describing in your comment. Was just reiterating that India should have chased down that target if they had 25 overs to play in the final innings!!! Not impossible even in those days I believe.

Why is it still not lifted ? 

[Sandeep99]

I hope they're back, at least saves us the embarrassment of losing to a substandard side. Warner and Smith will ensure India gets that dignity of losing to a strong enough side.

[Zero_Unit]

Cric Aus should have known better. What were they thinking? Should have banned them for maybe 4-6 months at most. Already hurting their pocket. They Baned their best two players and thought they would still play like Champs? Even Afg will give this australian team without Warner + Smith a run for their money.

It is not just that, they did not show any urgency in  taking the wickets on final morning either. Old Cricinfo had match reports and also interviews.That was last time and only time India and Australia were on even keel in Australia. Aussies have gone on to become a dynasty by simple philosophy you play to win every game.

They SHOULD have won this match!!! 

Woah!! such a sureshot win we missed here..

[zen]

If we are going to lose anyways and in the process give rise to another Ind specialist, why not have these two back?

[Nikola]

Highly doubt now they will release bans. If they have to do then will be in next few days else might just comeback in march for IPL.

You expect Gavaskar, Amarnath and Vengsarkar to chase at 5 RPO on Day 5 in an overseas tests in a time when RR used to be in the 2.5-3 range

No, score at 4 rpo for 25-30 overs. Which wasn’t impossible

In 1975, it may have been understandable. This is from 1985, we were already WC champs. Srikanth was opener and scored 86(89) in first innings. It could have been at least attempted, something doesn't add up.

So why did Ind bat for only 25 overs if they could bat for 30 or more?

 

If we have to judge things based on scorecards, we could have won many games

I have not seen the match to comment on this .... I was dragged in to this by a Sachin fan because I rate Gavaskar as Ind's best test batsman

You tell me  just calculate overs and days. You could see that srikanth is trying while best bat is blowing air

 Wasnt it such calculations to conclude that graveyards have better bats than the ones most have have seen?

They batted only 25 overs because it rained after tea.Rain was in forecast and everyone in the team knew about. Srikanth also did not show any urgency .
