Nahin bhaiyyon.  We have not shown enough.  Enough will be when the Ozzie-Brisbane narrative is never repeated again. 

Let there be enough left for one more fight and victory.  The team has come this far, they should not be satisfied.  They should not relax and take their foot of the pedal.  Both team and fans should expect nothing but a win and go all out to achieve it.  Eff the odds.  

 

Unrealistic expectation.

Its not about being satisfied , u can expect a team to win in Aus after loosing so many main players. Aussies cudnt win at home after loosing 2 players here we have lost so many  that this almost looks like a India B team

IF 36 ao didnt happen, we would have won the series already with the draw in sydney. oh well

All true.  But they are not the Indian cricket team.  Just because they couldn't doesn't mean India can't.  No one thought India could bat out 30 overs let alone 120 in Sydney.  If it does not happen, whatever.  But sometimes just saying "we've shown enough" can cause players to relax.  It's like winning a tough WC semifinal against a great team.  Awesome, but not enough.  Finals khelna baaki hain.

Really sad. 

I am fine with 2-1. Fought hard after 36 all out. That's all that matters. Infact, if they meekly surrender in 4th test, I won't say anything. You can only do so much with a half working machine. Same applies for the human body.

Let's not say anything derogatory if they lose.  But, right now, let the TM and others around the team keep feeding them the confidence that they can win.  All it takes is for a couple or 3 batsmen to click and blunt out the Ozzie bowlers.  Adrenaline does wonders sometimes.

We shouldn’t care about injuries. When you play for the country all are same. From Shaw to Kohli.. you are representing a nation not a franchisee..so ten years down the line people wont say oh india had so many injuries.. they ll just look at results.. as people see 2004 results which India lost 2-1 with tendulkar out with tennis elbow and chennai 5th day scuppered due to rain. Same goes for 2003/4 series. Everyone says we drew 1-1 .. nobody sees whether mcgrath or warne played..

I don't think intensity was missing in NZ tour..  Planning sure was.  Also panauti captain lost both tosses.  2nd test was pretty close & we could have won if not for meek surrender of batting & Our bowlers inability to clean up tail & Jamieson.  They will give u pattas in tour games so it doesn't even matter. 

NZ is an enigma we have to crack even at ICC tourneys where they always beat us. 

 

Against England we need to play more county games before we tour no doubt.  They always lose one odd game in every series against good sides but are extremely hard to put away.  Even Good Aussie sides of 2000's have found it tough to beat them in 4-5 match series.  Two match test series are lottery in Eng which SL won in 2014.

We need a team at the top of their game & solid preparation to beat them & a gun swing bowler 

 

Hahaha so true. N.z always troll us by giving phattas lmao. Then when we play it's a mamba. We need to make right selections for n.z and prepare in this conditions. Clearly Gill excelled in tour games. So did Siraj. Yet those 2 weren't picked for n.z. also losing Bhuvi was huge against England and n.z. had he been there I think we could have beaten England in England along with boomrah missing first 2 games ofocurse. Too much chopping and changing. Absolutely need to play county yes for prep. Also avoid short format before a major test series but mullah talks. So......

 

Regarding n.z who prepares for a major test series by playing t29 and odi lmao? 

 

We should have played tour games under their swing Condtions and get used to the weather etc. Oh well..next time.

Oh yes. Rain can go heavy for most part. 

[nitinbwj]

I have a bad feeling that Warner might explode. Smith won’t get out as usual. Our only chance is to bat and bat big.

have a feeling rahane will produce something like this

Draw nahin chahiye.  5 days of play and an India win.  The only downside is the slacking at work for me.  Already happening over the past few days.

nothing to lose and wounded spells danger for the Aussies - i think we could do it

Murli Vijay scored a ton in 2014 in Gabba..  We lost the game though.  Kohli failed in that game in otherwise a tour played on pattas. 

I think Rohit will like the extra bounce & if he survives first few overs he'll score a ton as well. 

[Serpico]

I think aussie bowlers will also be very tired even if not injured. Lyon has completely flopped, Starc looked useless against top order batsmen and Green is just cannon fodder. All the weight is on Cummins and Hazlewood mostly.. if our openers can give us good start again, pujara and rahane has best opportunity to get some big 100s.

 

Remember how exhausted they were in sydney in last tour.. our batsmen have piled on 600+ runs for the loss of 5 wickets.. we might not even need any support from lower order. If we win toss and bat first, it will be very stressful for aussie bowlers to bowl another 100+ overs just 3 days after 138 overs.. come on lads we still have hope
