***Official*** India in Australia 2014-5

[Crazy Sam]

Australia may have missed a trick, but at the end of the day India was still unable to take 20 wickets in a match and didn't even seem interested in taking quick wickets/progressing the game this morning when it was still in the balance.

 

[Pratters]

Great result for India. I hope they give Rahul another chance in the next test.

Congrats to Australia on winning the series.

Anyone thinking smith's captaincy should've been more aggressive doesn't see the bigger picture.

 

[indiaholic]

Hard to be too harsh. He batted India out of the game and therefore won the series. Win would've been a nice bonus but he secured the trophy.

I feel the trophy would have been secure even if India was set a target of 340 in about 80 overs.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Fixed

Ahaahaha ****

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dhoni can **** off, in no ways did he "dictate terms"

He said that?

Don't think it matters. Wasn't a bad match to show a conservative bit of captaincy. Losing here would've been pretty stupid.

Anyways, gentleman, ladies, and ****s like Jono, the Border-Gavaskar series is Australia's for the moment.

We lost 3 wickets and after that we were always going to try for a draw. I know India had nothing to lose but another loss in Australia-England would be not meant much for us. This is our first non loss result in the two countries after 14 consecutive losses.

 

[Swingpanzee]

He said that?

Yeah he was like "Happy with the bowlers, the field settings were good and we could dictate terms"

Absolute. ****ing. ****wit.

Great result for India. I hope they give Rahul another chance in the next test.

Congrats to Australia on winning the series.

This is what makes Dhoni think he can just jump over the low bar. Call Dhoni and India out, Pratters #BeTheChangeYouWantToSee

Absolute. ****ing. ****wit.

I think being happy with the bowlers is a far more heinous statement.

i hope this means we get two days of legside pies to feast on at sydney

And how many series have you lost since 2011?

 

[Antihippy]

I actually do wonder if there are indian fans happy with this result.

Other than being happy about not collapsing in the final overs again.

Love listening to Gavaskar when he's pissed off at India.

I some one who is really pissed with the defensive captaincy of Dhoni of the last 3 years or so. He is a very average test captain imo. However, in this test, after losing 3 test wickets, and the run rate required and runs required not very low, it would have been stupid to try to go for the win, given the 14 previous losses. It's progress. Shows the steps we have taken and is not the same poor side as in the last 3 whitewashes.

uh. lord's, trent bridge.

Add the absence of a second slip to the list of poor decisions.

He didn't say that? He said he was happy with the bowling in the second innings, we did well and we were able to dictate terms.
