What a day. Best day of the season for us. Good to see pujara back to playing long innings. LOL at likes of shastri who think Rohit is a better batsman than him.

 

Saha's best innings by far.

 

Also think this is how SRJ should play always irrespective of situation coz if he tries to play "properly" he'll get out in no time at least if he's positive he'll make 20 - 30 runs min

 

If we'd normal Indian pitches like this from match 1 we'd have been 2-0 up. It's harder work but at least we don't give a sniff to opposition.

seriously?! how did we allow oz to bat out 98 overs on 5th day pitch like that :thumbdown:

 

marsh & comb played well but still there's a big qs mark on our bowlers esp ashwin. that difficult catch that karun dropped proved the difference in the end

 

ashwin needs to be dropped. he hasnt had any fizz in his bowling for a while now. get in BK for ishant & kuldeep for ashwin. or at least kuldeep for ishant.

 

worry now is dharamshala will suit oz more than india :fear1:

I think it was a great test match, not every test match has to produce a result. Great application by marsh and comb, probably one of the best test match in this season. This actually tested players.

 

Ya ashwin need to buckle up, both his batting and balling have taken a hit. Mohammed shami seems to be fit, time to get him back.

Yeah totally agreed..Amazing test match..Great amount of patience and technique was tested...Even after all those efforts they made it through and their 50s deserves an applaud for sure...

 

Ashwin was going good but frustration piled on after Jaddu was able to get more than him out of the wicket..That was Jaddu's kind of pitch, fast for spin worked...Ashwin still stuck with the flight method but that was easier to maneuver around a lot easier changing their position accordingly..Kumble could have suggested him to go more than 85kmph on regular basis during the break, would have made his performance a lot more better..

 

Regardless really enjoyable test and the essence of test cricket was really well shown in this...Should be a good next one too..

dont think it was a great match, bangalore one was the best of the season. this one was too flat with no deterioration on day 4/5 as it should have been

 

dont know what it is with our captains, first MS & now virat - they never start sessions with the 2 bowlers most likely to take wickets bowling in tandem :ack: it can be very costly. it cost us a test in eng 2011, sl in galle 2015 & maybe even here. its craaay craay.

 

there's something wrong with ashwin. he wasnt even getting that drift in the air that he was against nz/eng. irrespective we have to look to get in a wrist spinner who can take the pitch out of the equation. 2 finger spinners is not ideal.

 

oz hold all the cards now. even a draw will mean they keep the tropy & a 1-1 score will be like a huge win for them. so all the pressure is on india to make all the moves. plus read some reports that weather isnt great in dharamsala & it may be rain affected.

 

in cooler climes bhuvi might be able to get some swing in the air so we should deffo play him esp since oz are weak against swing too (remember hobart & philander). maybe we could even leave little grass on wicket since their seamers are all hit the deck type :scratchchin: but if we lose the toss then that may backfire
