This loss will hurt real bad

[BeautifulGame]

Hope the likes of Kohli Vijay Pujara and Rahane can recover for the rest of the series Still respect to Kohli :hatsoff: What a knock as good as any knock played by Dravid Sachin or VVS in Aus

[fineleg]

^ This is like SRT in Chennai vs Pak. Bloody stranded by rest of morons. Poor Kohli and Vijay

BS anti jinx thread by OP after posting big in match thread :giggle:

Man this is so bad,we just played so recklessly thats why it hurts more.

[Switchblade]

Awful batting by rest of the batsman

[asterix]

You cannot t get a better pitch than this in the first match...still lots of positives from the match... Need few tweaking in the team...

[wanted_desi]

Hope they kick out the garbage from team. (Dhawan, NOHit)

[Switchblade]

Yeah its time am sure a few of the remaining followers of r sharmas cricket begin to see where the fellows headed.

Well he has fans in the team so he isn't going anywhere

[Temujin Khaghan]

after sachin's retirement, iam not emotionally involved anymore.

[amiret]

perfect batting pitch and the batsmen played so well for 4 days and 70 Overs . we have gifted Aus an easy victory.

[sm332]

just no fight from most of the team - damn shame Vijay and Kohli deserved better - and this does hurt

[achilles]

Pakistan revisited. Grabbed the game from the jaws of defeat and stuffing the game back into the mouth of the opposition.

[nevada]

I hope not. It should give them encouragement that they are capable of competing on equal terms. Time for the rest of the failure batsmen to step and show some commitment.

[amiret]

This was a perfect South Africa type Choke. India did not deserve to lose. Due to the inexperience in the middle & lower order we just threw away our best chance of winning a Test in Aus.

Problem is the batting is limited you cannot win with 3-4 batsman when you have a long tail

[sweetaskandy]

I thought you may win it for awhile. Then I went to sleep - just got up an hour ago for a bit of cycling and watched this unfold. FTR Rohit Sharma is freaking crap!

[nevada]

Last session collapses aren't uncommon in tests and the way Lyon was bowling, wickets were bound to fall. If the pitch was benign, none of the bowlers threatening then we can say it is a choke job but that isn't the case here.

[Sidhoni]

SA, NZ and now Aus. We are making this a habit, losing/drawing first test of a tour from a position where we should have won.
