World Test Championship Final - India vs Australia

[Raj-Hindustani]

Yep... and then this happened:

and we won/retained the Border-Gavasker trophy.


Eng last was 2 - 2 draw but we lost the one off...


Who do you replace them with ?

Who would be your captain if you fire Rohit from the job ?

Who takes Kohli's place ?

Give new talents a chance because, as of 2013, these superstars haven't been able to perform effectively in major tournaments and win them. It's better to lose moving forward with new and young talents than to have the same thing happen again with these legends.

England team is a good example of this. how they changed from the disaster to the top and even now changing the cricket with Bazball.


Who do you replace them with ?
New players - why can't give them the opportunity?

Who would be your captain if you fire Rohit from the job?
learn from Australia and England on this. They don't need any superstars for the caption job.

Who takes Kohli's place ?
why? If this is a belief or way of thinking, then players like Sachin Tendulkar should continue to play until they are 60 years old. if the name alone suffices.

Again thanks to lower-order batsmen and bowlers.... not to superstars

Gill, KL Rahul, Pant (hope he returns soon), Siraj etc.. they have been blooding some talent. Ek saath thodai na sabko dhakka de ka kick out kar sakte he ? Spl Kohli and Rohit who you want gone

Bazball.

Haan, Eng done amazing with McCullum. Special coming together of a great coach and amazing players.

New players - why can't give them the opportunity?

they keep getting, ab har banda Kohli level nahi hota na, ki ek baar jersey mili to aag laga de dunia me and instant legend ban jae, its a process. It'll be hit or miss with many, sadly. Best guys go on to play 10 - 15 years as regulars.

learn from Australia and England on this.

different captain for white and red ball teams, different teams even ?

we are kind of doing it, Shami, Pujara, Ishant, Ajinkya and others never get a look in with 1day and 20over squads, Hardik is India T-20 captain. Learn, but don't ape and blind copy from Eng etc.

why? If this is a belief or way of thinking, then players like Sachin Tendulkar should continue to play until they are 60 years old. if the name alone suffices.

Sachin hardly ever had a lean phase, and quit at 41 or something, as did Dhoni.

Abhi theek chal ra hai, of course, always room to improve, but its been on an upward trajectory for a while.

Sri Lanka and WI ka dekho, once kings dominating the game, languishing today as almost minnows.

Long term stability (and performances) mangta !

Again thanks to lower-order batsmen and bowlers.... not to superstars

fir tu jamahir bhikari type logic laa raha hai ?

kal ko fielders taking good catches at the boundary jita de toh tu bolega but bowling bekar thi, ball boundary pe jaani hi nahi thi !

Leave it, bro, only i can say that with such a mentality, We will not win any major tournament. Thanks

Decent recovery but India are still waay behind in the game. Aus lead by 296 end of day 3.. best we can hope for is to fight for a draw.

As things stand, even if we skittle them out for say, another 100 here on, that'll still leave us staring at an almost 400 run chase in 4 - 5 remaining sessions ?

Unless Sharma, Kohli, Gill and co. go loco

*fingers crossed

Good luck to brave Indian Team

350 - 380 India get Australia out
They will win . It could be a fascinating day of cricket .

Am in two minds right now , I know it’ll be a great day but Ashes starts next week also .

Having a cup of tea & a strong smoke & contemplating to go watch the game & champions league final later also .. thinking ...

Good luck India

sweeeet !!

go man, this is a pretty special game.. besides, there's 5 ashes games coming up.

imagine if Kohli and Sharma get stuck into the aussies and decide to make a game of it, or if siraj and shami skittle them out quickly early today. Aussie quicks are also very impressive, cummins, boland, stark, green.

Who the F is this KS Bharat? Seriously BCCI couldn't find any better wicket keeper batsman to send in WTC except for a guy who's only played 3 Test matches. And seeing Rohit Sharma's poor fitness and form he shouldn't even be in Playing 11 forget being captain. Indian wasn't series about this match and makes us look even more foolish for supporting them. Some fightback from bowlers and lower order batsman managed to save us the humiliation of an innings defeat but still they'd be lucky to draw this match.

Agree, Ishan Kishan should be doing the glovework, Pant style agressive bat, he's also a lefty.

Sharma's fitness has always been poor, he's a gainda, a powerful janwar.

340 lead now.. not looking good but let's see

 

[kmc_chacko]

Who do you replace them with ?

Who would be your captain if you fire Rohit from the job ?

Who takes Kohli's place ?

Problem is not who lead them problem will be who will replace them we don't have stable middle order batsman's who can carry forward atleast like Pujara, Kohli & Rahane (we can't always expect to have Dravid, Sachin, Laxman).

Other than Shreyas Iyer, Mayank Agarwal India can try Sarfaraz Khan, Yashasvi Jaiswal & Rinku Singh in the middle orders in local tours, so that they can replace existing middle order players one by one at a time.

 

[mangochutney]

Seems Australia will win .
