Let Rahane take control over the selection and strategy for rest of the series.

goose Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Adelaide 2003 and Kolkata 2001 to name just two were far superior. Melbourne 2020 is a great comeback from one test to the next, possibly the greatest, which has happened many times over for other nations. sandeep 1

There are always many ways to look at things - Adelaide 2003 is a special memory for me, but arguably the Aus bowling was much weaker back then, even as the batting was stronger, and was also helped because of no DRS. express bowling 1

True. I define a comeback as coming back from the brink over the course of a test. We were never behind in this test. Call it semantics but as impressive as it was were never behind

Call it semantics but as impressive as it was were never behind I hear you, but you are diminishing the pressure of being 0-1 down in the series, and also the WTC impact. Along with missing our top 2 pace bowlers and one of our primary batsman. This was pretty special goosy. Let's enjoy it! This team has underwhelmed and disappointed us on many occasions, quality wins like this one deserve their due.

India was in the drivers seat in T1, but Paine with the bat (helped with drops), and the Aus bowlers flipped a potential loss into a massacre.
coffee_rules Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Ravi Shastri notwithstanding, he needs to be slapped, slapped very hard. But, nobody expected India to win the next match after 36 ao. Hence, it is a great comeback. Greatest, is all cheerleader lingo. Phupha Chachawale UNESCO awardwali zabaan.

The mentality of getting ecstatic and content with the odd victory has to change, that's the whole point of appointing highly paid coaches - to take the team to the next level. We are not Zimbabwe or Bangladesh to gloat about the occasional win. express bowling 1

The actor kicking the other guy is Vadivelu a legend in this part of the world. The movie has many funny scenes and is extremely popular.

Did Shastri talk, he should have been taking the blame for that debacle. Any good coach takes all blame when team fails and gives all the credit to players when team does well.If this guy wants to show his face only after good things then he needs to be kicked out. nevada 1

"You know to be rolled over for 36 and then three days later to get up and be ready to punch was outstanding. The boys deserve all the credit for the character they have shown. Real character."
