All hail Ashwin and Jadeja!

 

Edit - The domination is still not gone all thanks to them.

Clarke was out bad pad off Ashwin early in his innings, no DRS then. Went on to score 140.

 

Sachin batted beautifully for his 80 odd, Kohli 100, and Dhoni with his best ever test innings, counter attacking 200as we racked up almost 600.

 

Pattinson was breathing fire in that match, thought the next great fast bowler had arrived.

‘I was considered as a failed captain’: Virat Kohli on not winning ICC trophies

 

“Look, you play to win tournaments. I captained in Champions Trophy 2017 (reached the final), 2019 WOrld CUp (reached the semifinal), I captained in World Test Championship (reached the final), and T20 World Cup in 2021 (failed to qualify for the knockouts). After three (four) ICC tournaments, I was considered as a failed captain,” said Kohli.

two sixes off lyon to finish that small chase.  Almost reminiscent of his younger days..

also debut series of Jadeja (not counting solitary Test v Eng)

[R!TTER]

Talking about home domination we shouldn't be playing Eng in Jan, at least not up north. Only 1 team has beaten us in a series in the hotter spring/summer season in the last 40 odd years - SA in 2000, though it could be argued whether some of the team members were really committed to winning for India!

 

Heat is one of the main reasons why Oz have done worse than Eng, because they played in the hotter seasons as compared to Eng in cooler autumn/winter over the last 20 odd years! First match should start no earlier than Feb down & that too down south.

Wo bhi kya din the 

[ThirtyD.]

However crap Kohli was in his limited overs captaincy, he's legacy of strong showing in tests will always remain a plus. With non-performing 3-5 (including Kohli), India managed to stay dominant. Imagine if we had competent 3-5 batsmen.

I saw this match live on the stadium. One of the days i visited. Saw Shane watson upclose.
