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

[govinda indian fan]

Terrible game awereness from Washington. Exposed tail to aussies

 

[Spark]

Phenomenal last day bowling effort but geez India have thrown it away there in that last session

 

[halba]

final stick done.

Changes for SCG- Rest Starc(Jhye in) - M Marsh gets dropped - Beau webster in.

India- Prasidh comes in for Deep. Rohit sharma to be dropped, Devdutt or Easwaran make their Australia debut.

 

[Kirkut]

I hope playing risky strokes when playing for the draw is something that dies a quick death in the next decade. It always strikes me as unbelievably dumb and selfish and I'm downright amazed it's been tolerated to this point.

Tbf, it was this approach that won us the Gabba test. None of the shots played by Pant made sense in textbook sense.

 

[Xix2565]

Congrats Australia, well played. Don't have much to say about India's performance that doesn't involve cursing.

 

[Gnske]

Btw Marsh is getting selected again and there's nothing any of you can do about it

 

[govinda indian fan]

Snicko fails India again

Defund the ICC immediately Jay Shah

Stop rubbing salt mate

ah thanks for reminding me of this chump's existence. Between him, Sharma, and Kohli, makes most losses easy to digest.

 

[cricman]

India have nothing to play for, rest Bumrah and have a go at it again during the next Test Cycle.

 

[Spikey]

Sundar refusing to farm the strike to ensure we lose the series thus forcing Rohit and Kohli into retirement and giving us hope for the future. He's playing the long game. WAFG.

i've heard of strike management but selection management? washington's dream indeed

I was referring to Jaiswal lol. When there was no chance of a win.

 

[Spark]

India really didn't deserve to go into the final test with the series levelled. Don't think batting the day out here was an uphill task.

Seven wickets in hand at tea in the last session and they don't even last 'til the new ball - that's really really poor tbh

 

[vicleggie]

Total poo today
Terrible shots by Kohli, Rohit and Pant.

Team spirit is obviously shot

 

[Redbacks]

The King of Kogarah set the tone

 

[Gnske]

Stop rubbing salt mate

I'm on your side. Aren't you upset about the umpiring on top of half your team being manchild garbage?

 

[Starfighter]

Phenomenal last day bowling effort but geez India have thrown it away there in that last session

Shades of the 2008 SCG collapse

 

[Kraken]

Pant has enough runs in the bank having won multiple games for his country, but he would feel terrible rn about starting the rot

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

India don't have close to the same extent of bowling depth in these conditions and Smith was never going to stay anonymous throughout the series.

And India’s batting is at an all time now. Still Bumrah single handedly has managed to make it competitive. If he has another great game at Sydney, would be hard not to rank this as possibly the greatest series by any bowler in Aus

 

[Darwin Award]

Bumrah bags a Boxing Day test pair and duck number 8 for the year.

Congrats Australia and now 2-1 up.

The current series score still flatters India.

it's so funny during tea watching Ponting and Fleming conclude that yes MMarsh probably should be dropped.......but it's because of his lack of bowling.
