**Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

lol

Kohli is utterly useless. Doesn't look for singles but goes and does that instead.

In future there should be no place for mentally weak players in the side however technically good they are or how prolific they are in the domestic circuit. Cricket is not about technicality or just talent but about GRIT AND RESILIENCE. Look at Cummins, Lyon or any other Australian blood . And that's what India lacks over decades. We have witnessed it in 2023 ODI world cup finals. Remember Zaheer Khan's atrocious wide first over in the 2003 World Cup final that set the tone of the game with his visible fear and mental fragility. Mentally unfit cricketers who fail time and again in crunch situations are the biggest bane of Indian Cricket. That's why India don't win any major tournaments

Use of bold font - inspirational.

Use of CAPITAL LETTERS all the time - ****ing annoying.

Frank Worrell > Virat Kohli

 

[Burgey]

Jeez he’s a shell these days, Virat. It’s sad to watch

 

[Son Of Coco]

The commentators saying India almost gone here...they bat down to ten for ****'s sake. When they are 80/8, they'll then be 'almost gone'.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Also it makes a difference when catches aren’t dropped doesn’t it

India have been a bit unlucky to see Khawaja hold both of those.

Jeez he’s a shell these days, Virat. It’s sad to watch

I don't see you spilling tears though

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

**** yeah!

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

We've only really lost KL tbf. The other two, do they even count?

Jadeja and Reddy have been their better bats as well and they're yet to come.

thankfully not in LO formats. its confined to red ball cricket. He doesnt play Ranji trophy to keep in nick either. They think its too good for them.

In the past, players used to play red ball during their off season e.g. County or Shield for the aussies, or Ranji for the indians. This culture has gone due to too many LO formats.

Can't believe he failed in the most important innings of his entire career.

You gotta name me more important innings in the context of the match situation and the series.


I can't think of many and I think I've probably watched at least 90% of his test innings through his career. Melbourne in 2014 when he came in with no runs and his 50 odd helped save the game? His 230 was pretty great too against England since it wasn't great for India when he came in, but I feel they probably would have won that game regardless. This one is up there in terms of what the team needed.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

We achieved sweet ****all in that session. Didn't make any runs, lost three sticks.

 

[SkyBlue]

Indian media have been busy gushing about individual performances of Bumrah and Nitish without realizing we've been second best for most of the series, not just this game

Pretty embarrassing to listen to likes of Harsha and Karthik on cricbuzz. I'm sure they'll be mum on Rohit and Kohli as usual after this game ends. ****ing PR agents.

Would be a deserved loss. You cannot win trophies by chasing the opposition for most of the series.

If this fat prick of a captain has any respect for the team and the fans, he would sit out for the final test.

Nah I genuinely wanted a big swan song from him this tour. Been a great player.

I haven't heard of a single person who hasn't realized and admitted that India has been second best for most of the series. India has a very long history of being second best in away series and relying on exceptional performances from 1-2 people to keep them competitive.

 

[vicleggie]

Zero resilience, zero application, zero intent, zero enthusiasm. **** both Kohli and Rohit

 

[Redbacks]

You’ve been hacked!

You're trying to compare innings where he did well with one that hadn't happened yet.

Just here for the Kohli slander
