cowboysfan Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 The 2nd test is almost lost.I have zero faith in our "batsmen".the important thing for the aussies is though now they know for certain our batsmen are as bad against spin as them.if they win one more toss they might wrest the BG trophy from us and we also will lose our WTC final spot. nitinbwj 1 Link to comment

Have you noticed the visiting scums never acknowledge the huge advantage they have had with the toss in both the games. They would have whined and moaned had they lost the toss and had to bat last on this wicket. cowboysfan, Under_Score, Vijy and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment

Sandeep99 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Australia should fire their captain and coach after this debacle. Knowing Indian batsmen, all they needed was 40 more runs to win this match. Only Ashwin, Iyer would have challenged them in the final innings. They literally committed suicide. Poor poor planning and execution. Shameful performance. coffee_rules, Vijy and nevada 3 Link to comment

They feasted on easy opposition at home but when faced with a testing situation abroad, they just gave up. The collapse is an utterly minnow like no show which undid all the hard work of the previous two days. Losing after putting up a 160-180 target and fighting till the end is one thing but this utter surrender in two back to back games is inexcusable. This has to be the most spineless Aussie team to have toured India. coffee_rules, Sandeep99 and Vijy 3 Link to comment

I will not be surprised if Bazball works against them, both home and away. Edited February 22, 2023 by Vijy Link to comment

But in England it will be a good contest I reckon. I think Oz can beat bazball but they need Cummins, starc and hazlewood to fire. Link to comment
