It's not the first time he's behaved like this to home umpires. I remember a game in IPL where he was even more a prick. It's a really really bad look into the superstar culture of Indian cricket when you see an umpire who theoretically has the authority to tell someone like Kohli to go get ****ed, look like he's trying his best to not lose his job and aquiesce to the bullying.
Naah. We are the best.
Or seven.
Moeen did well overall, got Kohli twice, and produced a lot of unplayable deliveries. You can blame him for bowling a few bad deliveries here and there, but Bess is the same. Maybe going with three spinners would have helped? and Moeen shouldn't be your main spinner IMO. He can bat at 7(or open) and provide support to the main bowlers.
. Having said that, why can't Moeen simply open in SC conditions and go after the bowlers? I think that's the best way his batting can be used in these conditions.
You are right, but we are kind of expecting him to do too much with the bat because we are looking at him as Jadeja's replacement. But if you are just looking at him as a bowling-allrounder, he has great potential as he is someone who can bowl according to the conditions(go for the wickets or block the flow of runs if the pitch isn't favourable) and bat at number 8 to score useful 30s and 40s.
India have won the last 2 series in Australia. Apart from Bumrah who have been India's hard length bowlers? Even Ishant proved more effective in the series he played by moving the ball.
I would prefer a duration of over 5 years to see where our seam attack ranks among the best of all time. The year 2025 will give a good picture of it, till then I am content that we have a pretty good seam attack.Naah. We are the best.

Since Bumrah's debut.
Stat's don't lie. Don't fall for the narratives set up by the Aus/Eng media. They overhype their players a lot.
Nathan Lyon isn't an ATG or anywhere close to Ashwin. He is a solid good to very good spinner. Nothing more.
Anderson/Broad aren't ATGs. They are very good players who are great at home and adequate away. Nothing more.
Daily reminder that Thakur got warned for intimidatory bowling.
That's 7 words
Ishant Sharma does not move the ball much in Australia, Shami too does not get too much lateral movement when he's bowling in Australia. Both bowled at good pace and made the most of the bounce offered by the pitch. Our recent series triumph in 2020/21 was more due to brilliant teamwork than individual performances by bowlers, rare to happen again.
Like the first test of this series or even the series in 2012? Look mate, you seem to be new here. Just wondering if you've thought about youtube or cricinfo to discuss your cricket thoughts?
Something tells me he's very familiar with CW
His response to the post about Gambhiring was ITSTL.
Not many, one greentop in about ten matches.
Yeah green tops in England are rare as ****.
Agree it should have been Rohit. Ashwin was obviously great, but Rohit's knock was more special in the match context and pretty much won the Test on Day 1.
