Cricketics Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 One of the best. Gave us some grey hair but this is what you want in Test cricket. Even stevens for bats and bowlers. It had something for everyone Curator did brilliant beetle, nevada, Under_Score and 2 others 5 Link to comment
sm332 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Yup excellent wicket - result in late Day 5, runs if you had patience and skill. Wickets if you had skill and perseverance. nevada and beetle 2 Link to comment

How many genuine wicket taking deliveries were there compared to wild slogs and reaching out to wide deliveries from both sides? Indian batting team from 2003 or Aussie team with Smith and Warner would have scored 450 plus Edited December 10, 2018 by CSK Fan flamy and Clarke 2 Link to comment

The fact that pitch had something for bowlers all day is what I like as a bowler personally. beetle 1 Link to comment

Ram Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I absolutely loving the 200-300 innings score trends in test cricket these days.. This is what 10+ of T20 cricket can do to batsmens' defenses. :) Straight Drive 1 Link to comment

First two in safferland and 1,4,5 tests in engerland were all close, I didn't enjoy :p Close tests are only enjoyable when we win.. Link to comment
Temujin Khaghan Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Also guys we are a good all-round team. Lol when the Sena visit us war is one-sided starting from first contact of bat and ball. Even if we lost in SA and eng, we atleast put an effort. Whereas when Sena visit us, they can take moral victory if they avoid innings defeat. Aus managed to win a single test during our homeground onslaught.

True that - would not trust anyone in this Indian line up other than Kohli, Pujara (and maybe Rahane) to last an hour against skilled bowling on challenging conditions..

Yes, the real beauty of the game lies in these 300-350 run pitches which tend to support all kind of bowlers. I mean look spinners came into play along with all the seamers also. Batsmen had to work hard for runs but those who showed patience did go on to make the difference. I wish we have more such games around the world. Straight Drive and Under_Score 2 Link to comment

Its not that the pithces are getting more bowler friendly, its just that batsmen are becoming progressively worse at constructing a test innings.. Straight Drive 1 Link to comment

I remember seeing many Indian line ups at their peak struggle in Australia. Not all of them came to the party together every time. Sometimes it was Dravid or sometimes it was Tendulkar but never the whole line up together consistently. Yes there were odd performances where we would rack big numbers but then it wasn’t consistent. This Aussie attack is as good as any attack on this pitch. Hazlewood might not be Mcgrath yet but he is quality and as effective as Mcgrath. Starc you can compare with Lee who has been on and off for Australia and Cummins plays the role of Gilespie. Al in all, this Australian bowlers are as good together, only difference is that the past cricketers performed well together andwere bigger names. I am not too sure if our plauers at peak would habe racked up 450 plus every time on this same track as mentioned above. Link to comment

The technique has been compromised as well along with patience and temperament to build a long test innings. Link to comment
SUMO Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I like 400 first innings pitch which yeilds result. There should be scope of a double century if someone is on ATG mode on the day. Link to comment
