2nd Test at the MCG, Melbourne, 26 Dec - 30 Dec 2020

[Spark]

superb innings. epitome of a captain's knock

 

[Burgey]

Top knock that. Well played

 

[OverratedSanity]

Awesome innings that. Couple of chances but looked rock solid after a long time.

50+ with the bat

25 with the ball

been a legendary allrounder. 5 more years of that will be epic

There's a reason why I was laughing when he slid to 12th in the CPL draft. (even if I don't particularly like him)

 

[Gnske]

Oof that's right up there with the classic Rahane overseas knocks, maybe even better.

 

[StephenZA]

Nice from Rahane.

 

[trundler]

Fantastic innings. Pleased to see him score runs after being under scrutiny.

 

[morgieb]

Great knock from Rahane. World-class.

 

[Line and Length]

Rahane's having a very good game.

Low averages against the best teams I see

yeah nz have been one of the if not the best test team over the past few years. or at least building to it. no shame in that low average.

 

[Burgey]

Lol Jadeja gone for a Tosca

Batting against Southee? Half of the Kiwis here would laugh at you for that suggestion.

 

[OverratedSanity]

In terms of just the pressure factor coming into the game, thats an immense hundred. Ran kohli out previous game, huge scrutiny on his form, having to take over captaincy after 36 allout....

not like it's a fluke though - there's a fair argument to be made that had it not been for his astute captaincy in 2017 at dharamshala, steve smith would have found enough support to steamroll his way to winning that series on his own

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Rahane was right to run Kohli out

Jamieson mate. Best cricketer in the world.

 

[Teja.]

You have to skip over Pujara/Kohli and go to Laxman's times to find an innings of this cream quality. What a knock. What a player.

Delivered at the time of Indian cricket's tryst with destiny. One of the ATG knocks.

 

[Burgey]

That piece of debris confirming Melbourne really is garbage
