India had the best record from 2015 to 2021 away from home. Easily. They performed everywhere. 

It all happen3d under kohli who was a fast bowlers captain. Then this moron dravball and roball both ruined all the hard work. All down the drain. 

 

 

I agree Dravid has ruined it. But Indian during that time played on most bowler firendly wickets or Australia without Steve Smith and Warner.

 

See we were in too much hurry to crown them as great. they were good but never great yet IMO.

While India will make spectators slit their throat by dead batting on dead pitches

It takes great courage to watch them.

Cummins and McDonald just go drown yourselves. 180 runs in 25 overs. Worst captaincy and tactics. No excuses.

[putrevus]

178 runs in a session, wow. Aussies have no idea what hit them.

 

Don't see highly talented batsmen  but they sure are playing to their strengths without fear of failure.

Head getting a taste of his own medicine.

3.40pm This session has realised 178 runs from 25 overs! An utterly preposterous bout of acceleration as England put the brawl into Bazball,

But that was a flat pitch.

Most of the Oz pitches are flat pitches. They bowl ball after ball at same spot and find edges. Guys like kohli will easily fall for it. That is why he averages only 19 against Cummins 

[vvvslaxman]

They miss 2 more fast bowlers if we used Indian logic 

[vvvslaxman]

This looks worse than our show in 5th test. Absilute shellacking. If you deep dive and analyze the wickets Australia earned with good balls is very less in this series. Most of the time they gifted their wickets.

[vvvslaxman]

How the heck Australia scored only 317 on this dead pitch 

[Frustrated]

Finally, Bazball had the last laugh.   

[Kothili]

Keep preparing these kind of pitches and accelerate the demise of Test cricket.

Can't blame them when the other side got only 317

[Lord]

Someone was saying last game that Crawley is crap and has no future

[Bigg Brother]

Brilliant batting by Crawley. He has middled almost every single ball.

First day pitch is not necessarily the same as a 2nd day pitch and England have the better conditions. But no excuse for the Aussie shitshow. This pitch is BS either way. Flat as a "Manchester" pitch.

Oz pitches are flat too. England bowling got better after inclusion of woakes and wood. Plus they have a proper spinner. Oz bowling is one dimensional. Not like they will run through them on day 1.
