where Toss will have less of a say

Toss has barely had a say.

Why does everyone seem to be under the impression that producing a road is how to beat Australia?

Australia aren't generally too bothered when it comes to batting on a road...

Slow low road with a bit of turn not the Aussie kind of road with bounce

Hazelwood such a passenger this game. Drop im.

Yep, as long as it's decent pace in it that's easily their best type of service. Usually pitches like this that are their undoing.

Yep.

But if we bat lie we did this test, we may as well throw in the towel.

Have a word with your curators. I think roads would suit India more, like that final wicket against England where you just batted them out of the game. Turners actually bite you in the bum as it basically means anyone can turn it as well as Ashwin - if not better. Ashwin and Jadeja are more impressive on wickets which do not turn so dramatically.

Exactly.
No one was expecting this pitch though after a full season of decent pitches. So random. The curator though seemed to have a thing against Indian cricket because he was a good fast bowler in his day but had been denied selection despite even showcasing his talent through injuring Gavaskar once with his pace in domestic competitive..

 

[ajdude]

so happy for Lyon, he's bowled really really well

 

[Top_Cat]

Farming the strike at 9 down in this game? Hahaha

 

[Son Of Coco]

India are going to have to learn to play spin in Indian conditions if they want to compete with Australia over there.

They don't seem to have a spinner in S.O'Keefe's class.

 

[Compton]

The pitch wasn't India's problem in this test, playing **** cricket was.

 

[Gnske]

Omfg we did it.

End the series, I don't care about the result. We win regardless.

 

[adub]

Good for Lyon to get some deserved wickets at the end.

 

[Top_Cat]

Yep.

But if we bat lie we did this test, we may as well throw in the towel.

I wouldn't back India's top-3 to fail like this two games in a row, personally.

Any bars in Pune that can refuse SOK entry?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Absolutely pathetic. Most embarassing defeat in years.

Well done Australia. Totally outplayed us.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Smith scored more today than India did in either innings.

 

[Shri]

Disgusting performance. Completely out played in all departments. Well played crims.

 

[Starfighter]

333 runs. What a fantastic number to win by.
