 How many wickets did Bumrah take in the chase?

 

2021 finals was a lottery due to weather. Winning the toss was winning the match.

 

What did stud Junior Gill do in both finals.

Bumrah took only 2 to fall to bowling. Rest did nothing, not even contain.

 

2021 wasn't lottery. We batted poorly in first innings and even worse in 2nd when we needed to bat out a session only.

 

Yes seniors failing is okay we should ask juniors to score who are in and out.

But for Pant/Jaddu we would have lost by an innings

Andu is embarassing himself. Should retire now.

he won't... he will crawl to 700, and stokes will drag him to 800 too. their batting may be bazball, but their bowling resembles dravball (dravid ball).

Now Aus need to compensate it with some serious clinical bowling.

 

Put an end to bazball nonsense right now!

Aus bowling is very light. half fit Hazel, and 2 LOI bowlers in green and marsh. too much on the cummer and stark

400 would have made them overwhelming favourites. They simply haven't found a way around Woakes. Toss is actually a good excuse for the first 3 Tests but not for this one. They have beaten by a skilled bowler in these conditions. They need atleast 350 to put pressure on England.

Kohli lost 10 tosses in a row against Joe root

Is there something sinister about English coins?

No I think some people are just lucky

 

Kohli lost 11 out of 13 tosses against Joe Root. 3 of those came in India so its not the coin

Eng beat us after we scored 420 in 5th Test 2022, that too without batting well. Entirely possible especially if you bat well and match first innings score.

You win the toss and bowl first  and give up 462 then you don't deserve to win the match. Batting stunk but bowlers are the reason why India lost the match.

What happened to Aussie bowling, it has gone from being best to almost worst all in a series.

 

Their bowling is based on disciplined line and length for long periods. If you can disturb that you can  handle them. We did that several times against them in Australia against much better attacks. One match where Pant made 158 and Jaddu made 96. They played bazball even back then against them.

But that was a flat pitch.

100%. No reason why you can't defend 370. 

 

Under 330 sure. But not more than that. 

 

That's what happens when you come right after IPL. Your body isn't used to test. Takes time to adjust. 

 

Bumrah was also captain don't forget. Captain kohli would have helped us win there if he was captain.
