You Aussies are the real cowards. No talent, just Sledging, Sandpapers, Underarm bowling, cheat appeals and so on. Absolute cowards.
I'm Indian background and support India in this series.
This is a third world garbage mentality. Pathetic really.

Have to look at Indian team's flaws in a situation like this. They gave Aus this match with multiple **** ups

Whatever it takes!!!
I feel the rut started when we installed Ganguly as the BCCI supremo and he brought is 20 year old feud with Ravi Shastri along. AFAIC, it cost the team all its harmony and unity. First bringing Kumble in needlessly as a coach when the partnership of Shaz-Virat was working very well. Then, ensuring all his favorite media outlets ran stories about Virat's captaincy when he had to sit out the 3 tests in BG 2020-21. I think that is what broke Kohli more than just technical weaknesses. Obviously him hanging on since then is his and the selectors' fault as much as anyone's but as an overall take, I think Ganguly has done more to destroy Indian cricket in the last 7 years than anyone from anywhere. :(

Shastri as a commentator post coaching is a damp squib. He is over eager in pleasing every player and seem to have lost all rationality and objectivity.
Commentators know the score.

‘Bhogle has been covering all Indian Premier League seasons since 2009. He was dropped from the commentary team by BCCI in April 2016. No official reason was given, but according to media reports, it was due to a combination of factors including criticism from Indian players.’

Watch Harsha and DK and all the other ****wits in the Indian media once again completely throw a blind eye to Rohit and Kohli's incompetency

There are no analysts in India anymore. Just PR agents and ass kissers, afraid of getting banned by BCCI if they speak against their superstars.

Indian cricket won't progress to the levels it desires to when you have an organization thats running a worse dictatorship than the Pakistani army. No exaggeration there.

All these so called experts are fooling gullible fans in the name of 'level-headed' opinions.

This should be the last series for Agarkar as a selector too.

Mumbai lobby is stunting the growth of Indian cricket.

Not convinced by Gambhir as a coach. ODI series loss to Lanka in like 2 decades, whitewashed by NZ and now the final nail in the coffin with BGT loss.

Ultimately, it's results oriented business and he's shown nothing so far to indicate that he's the right man to take Indian cricket forward.

This still looks like a dressing room engulfed by the senior superstars and not the head coach of the team.
The only rationale here I think in Gambhir not dropping Rohit and Kohli so far is not to be seen as another 'Greg Chappel ' .

With roughly 40 overs left, and Jasiwal and Pant at the crease, I would have put money on India surviving with yet another draw. Anyway, well played Australia.

Unfortunately without higher leadership and inspiration, Indians are resorting to their nature. Petty, self-serving, lacking higher vision, weak, lack of winning instinct.

Disappointing to see.
