Pakistan's phattu batting bar Shan Masood briefly is never going to work here. You can have one batsman playing like this. Not everyone.

Shan is their best bet

That is applicable for good sides not for a side like Pakistan lol. They will lose regardless. If anything some questioned the decision of cummins not bowling first.

After they tricked us in wc 2023 final, no one can ever doubt the Aussies intelligence anymore when it comes to making correct decisions post winning tosses.

Greatest moment in test history was when pant clenched his fist and threw an uppercut into the air to celebrate our phenomenal victory  against Australia at the gabba. 

 

As great as kohli is or was, even he would never be able to help us secure a series win by scoring a match winning knock in sena. Not even rohit. 

Ghujara at his best achieved that feat too.

Pakistan would have been destroyed in the first morning. IN this case both decisions would work the same way.

This is interesting....  But India won crucial toss in D/N game & lost last time.  Then lost all tosses but won the series.  

That's why Chasing 320+ 4th inns in Gabba has to be one of the greatest acts ever in cricket history.  Pitch was spitting even in Aussie inns.  That Steve Smith dismissal comes to mind. 

 

We will likely play our first test in Perth too next year. 

 

Out of all pitches perth is the hardest to chase in 4th innings. So basically impossible to lose toss and win. To me kohli s best ever century was the one he scored in perth in 2018 series.. it was amazing.. if you see Amazon Prime THE TEST they talk about that innings though india lost the test as it was virtually Impossible to bat in 4th innings with huge cracks. Adelaide on the other hand is the easiest. India lost the d/n in adelaide due to one bad session although they were ahead in the game. India nearly chased down aussies in 2014 around 360 odd when Vijay played one of the best 99s you ll ever seesnd kohli scored a century. If not for wriddhinan saha s brainfade of a shot after hitting a six we would have won it with kohli in prime.  Even australia came close to chasing indias score in the first test in 2018 in Adelaide .. lyon nearly got them home..if you go back further in 1992 aus india series, india also

nearly chased 370 odd with Azhar scoring a masterful century and we lost by 35 odd runs..

Trundler Shahzad proving to be a nightmare for the Aus batters.  His 125-130 kmph thunderbolts are good enough, it seems.

Present day Choker Smith gone, didn't even score a 50 another waste of a start.

[AKane]

Get Head out soon. He won't score 39 off of 121 balls like Khawaja.

[Number]

Not sure how consistent Travis Head will be in test cricket.

He won Aus the WTC 2023 single handedly.

Khawja making sure Pakistan can draw one test match in decades.
