Rohit has terrible body language. Lazy, negative, low self-confidence. Worse than many 90s Indian players tbh. Why the hell was he given the captaincy over Bumrah. They should have kept Bumrah as captain the whole series.

It's '21 in reverse. The shittier captain has come back this time.

His batting average as captain is 33.14. He isn't making a lot of runs of late.

Just watched the YouTube highlights of yesterday.

That block through the covers for 4 by Rahul off the off-spinner , that beat the chaser by 20m. That is sport at its worse. Utter bullshit by the batmakers.

As interesting as watching a race between a catamaran and a mono-hull.

This should be Rohit's last test series. He might himself retire if it doesn't go well.

While Australia is better placed you can’t say for certain they’ll capitalise. There is such a huge range between the potential and flakiness of their batting you wouldn’t be surprised if they conceded a deficit or built up enough of a lead to win by an innings.

the batting rot started before rohit became captain so you can’t blame him

from all accounts these guys work extremely hard so idk if the lazy thing applies in the sense that him being a fat **** is influencing others

he should be blamed for poor tactics, having no backup plans and letting the game drift

Rohit comes across as a bloke who would prefer heading straight on to KFC over post play brain storming sessions after a tough day like that tbh. Infact he'd probably do that in most regular days and he would certainly get the backing of Rishab and Safraz on that decision

I think it'd be up to Bumrah again. Tomorrow is a good day to bat but even on good days, Bumrah is a handful. I hear some chatter about a possible declaration on the 3rd session and that's crazy talk for me. Firstly you can't totally rule out the possibility of them collapsing in a heap in the first session but if they get to bat well, surely they should look to bat big and grind India down. Its only the second day and a big score would do really well for this batting line up
Yeah I think unless they’re like 6 or 7 down without a set batsman heading into the last part of the day (a distinct possibility tbf) they’ll want to make as many as they can while the going is good

Actually 90s player were not really lazy, just batshit scared of facing steep bounce.

Marnus looking confident here. Finding the fielders but his mindset looks way better than in Perth.

Do you guys want to watch cricket or soap operas? No idea why body language is such a focus here, not like it means anything.

Siraj should be fined for dissent there. Ran the whole pitch celebrating a wkt without even looking at the umpire
