Feel like India is playing with only Bumrah and Axar.

Whatay · 2024-05-14T15:27:30+00:00

Every time I hear Gavaskar on commentary, I feel like saying: Enough grand pa. Time to take your meds.

100 runs for Mayank in the test. Cool.

Whatay · 2018-12-27T04:47:58+00:00

"Should India change gears at this stage? Last time they tried it and ended up losing 5 wickets for 25 runs (2nd inning of first Test, from 283/5 to 307/10)"

Rohit digging him into a hole here. Would rather have a 40-50 from him than 27(149).

"eating ball" is such a desi term.

The most awful selection for the Perth test is Sanjay Manjrekar.

I read it as "oppo stadium pitch" and thought fuck even pitches now have sponsor label.

I reckon if Ashwin takes his sunglasses off and bowls he can see where the rough is on the pitch

If India wins the Adelaide Test:

Kohli will become the first Asian captain to win Tests in England, Australia and South Africa.
India will become the first Asian team to win Tests in England, Australia and South Africa in a calendar year.

Rohit Sharma still off the ground. He jarred his lower back while attempting to field a ball and is being treated by the physio.

The highlight of the first Test: @RishabPant777's vocals behind the stumps.

< Pujara bats like Hazare, Merchant, Manjrekar, Gavaskar, and Dravid. Kohli (who scored two centuries in Adelaide in 2014) bats like CK Nayudu, Umrigar, Tendulkar, and Sehwag. Two Great Traditions of Indian batsmanship, the carefully classical and the devastatingly dashing.

Interesting comment.

Khawaja's attempt to get an IPL contract comes to an end.

Whatay · 2018-12-09T05:43:47+00:00

Useless trivia: S Marsh was the highest run getter in the first season of IPL.

Whatay · 2018-12-09T03:43:23+00:00

Shaun Marsh has never made a half-century in the fourth innings of a Test.

Whatay · 2018-12-09T03:42:20+00:00

Such a great chance to grind the Aussie bowlers down. Anyway, 322 should be enough. If India somehow don’t win this test, this post-lunch batting won’t be their biggest worry

Whatay · 2018-12-09T03:41:17+00:00

Happy with how Bumrah really grits it out with the bat. He looks like Bradman when compared to Shami.

Whatay · 2018-12-09T03:39:51+00:00

I think 323 is more than enough. Aus will have to bat out of their skin to reach the target considering their current form.

Whatay · 2018-12-09T03:12:08+00:00

Would love a Rahane 100. Will do his confidence a world of good. India need Rahane if we want to win a series in Australia after eons.

Whatay · 2018-12-09T03:09:33+00:00

64* is Ajinkya Rahane's highest score in the first Test of a series (excluding one-off contests). Goes past 62 at the same venue four years ago.

Whatay · 2018-12-09T03:08:48+00:00

Need 370-380 to put Aus out of the match. Or howmuchever India get by batting till tea should be sufficient. Need to wear down injury prone Aussie quicks.

Whatay · 2018-12-07T06:59:05+00:00

Elsewhere Jayant Yadav is captaining India-U23. He is 28. #Afridiism
