    Steven Smith vs Dale Steyn

    The reason Tendulkar doesn't have as great a peak as others is primarily because India was not playing that many tests during his peak years. And the test series that they did play were often 2 matches and sometimes 3 matches in his absolute peak. So Tendulkar didn't get complete opportunity to...

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Malcolm Marshall

    An ATG pacer needs around 10 years and 70+ Tests to tick off longevity.

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Malcolm Marshall

    McGrath is 13 years. Steyn is 14 years (including 1-2 yrs missed) Lillee is 13 years. Marshall is 13 years (including 2-3 yrs missed) You are misrepresenting things.

    **Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

    Jaiswal Rahul Gill Kohli Pant Rohit Sundar / Ashwin Reddy / Jadeja Akash Bumrah Siraj They will make just 1-2 changes. Akash in for Rana and maybe change their spinner. But ideally they should drop Reddy and play Jadeja and one off-spinner. India need a much better 5th bowler than Reddy as he...

    **Official** 2nd Test @Adelaide, 6th-10th December

    Pink ball can be quite unpredictable at times so I understand why it's seen that way. (mickey mouse)

    **Official** 2nd Test @Adelaide, 6th-10th December

    Wouldn't call it mickey mouse necessarily. It's just that Australia are far better with it, which is partly due to experience. And it's tailor made for someone like Starc who is gun with it, while in the next match he might look somewhat pedestrian after his initial spell.

    **Official** 2nd Test @Adelaide, 6th-10th December

    Glad that the Pink ball test is over. This pink ball skids and comes on quicker and bounces more too compared to a red ball. Indian batters were late to deliveries and couldn't adjust to the pink ball's extra bounce or movement either. Now that we move back to red ball, I am expecting a very...

    **Official** 2nd Test @Adelaide, 6th-10th December

    The Indian team management is bloody rigid. They don't anticipate well at all and sometimes don't even see the obvious. Only when the knockout punch is delivered they realise their mistake.

    **Official** 2nd Test @Adelaide, 6th-10th December

    Yet most of the Indian fans here wanted to keep him in the side despite knowing he is so inconsistent and leaks runs. Can't even bowl 3 consecutive deliveries in one area.

    **Official** 2nd Test @Adelaide, 6th-10th December

    Knew it was a massive blunder to persist with Harshit Rana for this test. Akashdeep was always gonna be much better than him as he's so consistent with his lines and lengths. A bit Shami like. Yet Gambhir went with this erratic toothless Rana. Australia had already seen him and were never gonna...

    **Official** 2nd Test @Adelaide, 6th-10th December

    There's a good chance India's going to get thrashed in this Test given their lack of experience with the pink ball. And I am travelling from tomorrow so fortunately or unfortunately I won't be able to follow some of the match. And it looks like batting first is a big advantage here in a pink...

    **Official** 2nd Test @Adelaide, 6th-10th December

    Ashwin has been batting in the nets. Even getting throw down session from Gambhir all of a sudden. He is very likely to play. Let's not forget his decent record in Adelaide, including with the pink ball. Akash Deep has been menacing with this ball in the nets so they might lean towards him over...

    **Official** 2nd Test @Adelaide, 6th-10th December

    The conditions aren't going to be that lively. Need to replace Sundar and Reddy with Jadeja and Ashwin as the pitch will take turn given the heat.

    Rank them : Donald, Imran and Akram

    Actually here is Donald's average against Australia after every test against them- It's often been high.

    India is not going away in cricket unlike the Windies. So you can safely rule out BGT falling away in the coming decades.
