harsh1387 Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Boom boom with his fifer.. Kohli overbowled him but they had no option. Well deserved effort by bowlers again. 14 runs lead isn't ground breaking but from psychological point of view it's good.. Hopefully batters grow a spine and give a 270+ chase.

silentassassin Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Bowlers again lifted the team from hole dug by the batsmen Need couple of decent sessions with the bat tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooZoo Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Boom looked damn exhausted in the end. almost 24 overs in the day for a fast bowler and he was cranking it up to 90 MPH every over. We are blessed to have such a gem of a bowler but Kohli should not break him down. Should rest him for few ODIs to get fresh. Umesh is not really an asset on overseas pitches, he leaks far too many runs and releases the pressure created by Boom. Ishant with his height and awkward bounce would have been a better option on such a pitch. I wish we somehow find a decent left arm fast bowler, then this attack would be perfect. Boom, lala, Fit Siraj and leftie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGothamChampion Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 As expected, pathetic performance from Rahane and Pujara. I feel so bad for Virat Kohli right now. Dude is giving his best and there is absolutely zero support from rest of the batsmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtheK Posted January 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Thanks to Mr.Dravid Being spineless too, stupid team selection, playing 9 vs 11, and head coach sitting and going along. Dumb and Stupid. We might have lost out on a chance to win a series in SA just because of absolutely ridiculous team selection.

eddy4823 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Shubman Gill all guns blazing is anyday better than Rahane jisko Run nahi hai banane. One can expect him to be picked over Rahane for next Test India will play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll see him soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom, lala, Fit Siraj and leftie. True, he should definitely be rested, he still has one more innings of workload to take care of. Though the way we are batting won't be surprised if SA needs to chase less then 150. Ashwin also needs to be relooked, do we really need a spinner now Overseas, we are definitely missing jadeja, and if we have to play a spinner, Jadeja should always start ahead of Ashwin. This series has put that debate to an end. Mayank agarwal also has been exposed, and KL still needs to work hard, but should be persisted with. Ideally overseas this is how the team should look like now KL Rahul Rohit Gill Kohli Iyer/Vihari Pant Jadeja Thakur Shami Bumrah Ishant (Or let's find some one new) Edited January 13, 2022 by AtheK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentassassin Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Wrong time to get out Its just 29, but showed amazing grit, which is what Rahane is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooZoo Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Purane (Puji+Rahane) need to go. They have been given far too many chances and these odd 30s/40s once in a series are not helping at all. Putting unnecessary pressure on our bowlers to dig us out everytime where we should have won comfortably with half decent batting. Also, we are wasting our youngsters on the bench who should get these many chances to get settled at international level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinJo Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Gill usually goes on sick leave on difficult tours. I'm happy that they have forgotten Prithvi shaw who is just not a fit for test cricket at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 If only we had 40 more runs. Great innings by Pant though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harsh1387 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 So many people wanted Pant to be dropped after last match and were up in arms when I stated he is a rare talent and a match winner. Only if our tail has an iota of brain we could have managed 30-40 more runs. Kohli in first innings and now Pant in second innings ran out of partners. But, brilliant 100 which may or may not be match winning as 211 in my opinion is atleast 40-50 short. I don't blame Dravid. He is relatively new in his role. I blame selectors for keep selecting Pujara and Rahane. No spine at all and worst at their job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
