Gollum Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 How many feel this way? Hard fought draws in SENA are so rare, especially with us being behind the game for first 4 days.....and losing Jaddu, few other players not 100% fit. SENA wins we have several, but that 4th innings effort was something special. Super Pant, Monk Che and topped off with an ATG partnership between an injured guy and another guy with a dozen body bruises. Against one of the greatest bowling attacks ever assembled. Amazing warrior mentality!!!!! Tridibans_16 1 Link to comment

Amazing warrior mentality!!!!! Absolutely. I have never felt this proud of our boys. MCG was a great result but 2 results like that in a row against a powerful full strength Australian side and that too on their own turf and batting 2nd with a severely depleted, injury hit side is just amazing. Sounds like some Tolkienesque fantasy faction with the hero overcoming impossible odds. And to think all this happened after we had hit rock bottom at 36 all out.

Vickydev Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 No...MCG for me was daddy of all comebacks, I havent felt so proud of the team for a while Link to comment
Cricketics Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 No comaprison. Both enjoyable for different reasons. This Draw has its own special place because Aussies could just get 3 wickets all day today. We were badly marred with injuries in this innings and all injured players were yet to bat. Guess what, two injured players actually saved the game today and ensured the third injured player is not exposed along with the depleted tail which can be blown away in 10 balls. Special special draw this. sandeep, beetle and bowl_out 3 Link to comment

ravishingravi Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 This team under Rahane are like dogged Aussie teams of the past. Doesn’t give up. Frustrated, sandsaims and beetle 3 Link to comment
Gollum Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 MCG was like Anand surprising Carlsen in opening, getting initiative, navigating complex middlegame better and in the end winning easily, G3 Sochi WCC 2014 . SCG was like Anand getting a bad position with black, outplayed for most parts, close to lost position but then hanging in there for 120 moves (G7 Sochi: longest game ever in a championship) and drawing it in the end a full piece down. I like the miracle rearguard better, so SCG for me. sandeep, Scarface, sorak and 2 others 2 1 2 Link to comment

urbestfriend Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 SCG for me..COming to 5th morning, I was hoping against the hope that we dont go to Gabba 1-2 behind. Link to comment
neel roy Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) In last ten years there has been 5 draws in Australia.. 4 of them featured India. Melbourne Sydney ( 2014) Sydney ( 2018) Sydney (2021). India could have won 2. Edited January 11, 2021 by neel roy beetle and sandeep 1 1 Link to comment
Serpico Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 as a whole match, enjoyed MCG more. For one day's play, today has been one of the most gratifying moments in test cricket. Headingly 2019 tier for me.. nearly zero hope in the morning.. zero hope even when pant was smashing it.. just waiting for inevitable collapse.. zero hope after pujara getting out.. just amazing stuff what ashwin and vihari have done, its like something out of a day dream beetle and sandeep 1 1 Link to comment
adi B Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I normally go for wins but this definitely rates higher than a solo win ,same as that Napier effort was better than the 1st test win . This one is for ages ,no team ,I repeat no team can reciprocate a similar result against this ATG Aus bowling attack in their own backyard Laaloo 1 Link to comment

I predicted outs in the live match threads here by posting "gone" or "out" and my predictions come true as a batsman actually gets out after I post. Link to comment
