Why did Australia win the boxing day test?

[Niall]

RG sharma constant failings. Top order failed twice- KL out cheaply twice, RG Sharma out cheaply twice. << always a non performing top order is the main cause of a match lose.

everyone else contributed and cant be solely to blame.
Pant is a keeper bat, cant be blamed as hes not top order.

Bowlers did their job.

Pant is batting at five and has plenty of experience, he threw away his wicket twice and yesterday he opened the door to a collapse.

He, Rohit and Kohli were the three biggest flops for India this test and tbh all series IMO.

Off topic but do you like Mike Dean on var being a Tranmere fan ?

I know this thread has been made in jest but the application of Marnus and the lower order was pretty incredible

It wouldn’t been long ago that they would have gone down swinging, saying the pitch was unplayable and it was only a matter of time before you got ‘a ball with your name on it’.

[PlayerComparisons]

India didn’t show enough intent

- Too many celebrity endorsements
- Out of touch with young male voters

nah
defeated by the power of captain woke

Sundar was actually the right man for the job, but yeah the rotation sucked as did the other batsman.

Sorry, but his batting in the second innings was incredibly selfish. Which is odd given how well he played to the state of the match in the first dig.

TBF every RWFW knows if Cummins just did ads for Woodside Petroleum then we'd have won by an innings.

You absolutely know that a half dozen Daily Telegraph columnists are/were seething at the result when it happened

 

[Start da Game]

they took the last indian wicket before india could score the required runs

 

[CricAddict]

You missed the 2 biggest reasons of all. Rohit and Kohli.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

They were the better team. Funny how that works.

 

[social]

Mitch Marsh cheerleading was the difference

 

[Burgey]

Racist DRS the main factor tbh

 

[Anthony Clayden]

Joel didn't assist India enough.
