silentassassin Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 This has to be the best win since that Perth win in 2008. The morale was completely down after the 1st test. Virat, Rohit, Shami Ishanth. 4 players unavailable. 1 bowler gets injured 2nd innings. Still we boss the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Hawk Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 India's first win away from home when they have fielded first since Aug 2010 when they beat Sri Lanka by five wickets at Colombo PSS. First defeat in a home Test for Australia after winning the toss since the seven-run defeat to NZ in Hobart in 2011/12.Most wins for India at an overseas venue:4 MCG, Melbourne (14 Tests) 3 Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain (13 Tests) 3 Sabina Park, Kingston (13 Tests) 3 SSC, Colombo (9 Tests) Ajinkya Rahane is the second Indian captain to win each of his first three Tests as captain after MS Dhoni. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 What an awesome victory, especially after 36 all out. Shows the character and the fightback ability of the team. One of the best ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAZ Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Great win..!! I feel we will go on to win the series 3-1. Rohit should come in for Mayank & Natrajan for Umesh. Gill has to be person who got us this win, He gave us good starts in both the innings. Mayank & Shaw have disappointed, They should look at Gill as all 3 of them got same opportunity & look at the scores at the end of the innings. You won't got so many chances as there is soo much competition now. Vihari is good player at #6 contributed in both the matches not much but still if your #6 gets you 25-30 you would take that. Don't think KL should be played in the tests yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harsh1387 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Brilliant win. Back against the wall. 36 humiliation which could break any teams morale. I will rate this win as high as the Perth one in 2008. We couldn't win the series then. We can win it now. I want Warner to play next game. I want us to beat their best XI even when we don't have our best XI playing. Positives- Gill- brilliant temperament in both innings. No nervous jitters. Ya, he got lucky with couple of drops but was flawless in 2nd innings.Rahane- Very good Captaincy, brilliant batting and return to form is good omen for rest of series. A true gentleman like Rahul Dravid. New players like Gill will benefit from him and Pujara.Siraj- So, his Ranji exploits weren't exaggerated and he can bowl a good line and length all day.. very impressive debut. Jadeja- he should be a starter in all matches unless it's a green top like NZ. MVP since long. Period.Ashwin- probably bowling his best. The pressure he creates is invaluable. Bumrah- we are lucky to have him. Enough said.Pant- One drop catch aside was reasonably good with the gloves. However, his counterattacking 29 and that 50+ partnership with Rahane when we were struggling for momentum was precious. Will only get better with confidence. Vihari- Doing reasonably well at 5/6 and holding out one end. But, I would like him to make some 50+ scores soon. Negatives- Mayank- Technical issues and lack of confidence is apparent in his dismissals. Might get replaced by Rohit in next match.Pujara- Dip in form but hopefully does well in next one. He is undroppable overseas. Seems Saini will play next game if Umesh isn't fit. I would have liked to try Natrajan but team management prefers Saini.After the sadness of 36 it's good to be happy for another 9 days [emoji3][emoji3]Sent from my SM-A505F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentassassin Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Natarajan hardly has experience in tests. Saini is also good with red ball He has great record in A side. He has pace as well.. Its obvious change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZooZoo Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) BC I had a long day of work ahead due to which i had to sleep after India bowled Australia out. Imagine the nervousness when i woke up and checked the score first thing in my phone. What a relief Edited December 29, 2020 by ZooZoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentassassin Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) Great thread this. Do give it a read. Mayank deserves to be backed. Should not be dropped after 2 flop matches. TBH, there's no evidence that Rohit will come and perform in Aus. I wouldn't drop Mayank and paly Gill at no 4.

Big Boss Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Sacrifice Vihari if needed. Absolutely no faith on Rohit Sharma as an opener in tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but someone has messed up his technique and stance. Maybe it was to play more aggressively in ipl or ODI's, he needs to sit with the batting coach and sort it out.

Mayank shouldn't be dropped yet and Vihari seriously doesn't deserve to be dropped specially for and overseas failure like KL Rahul. Also, Burns is dropped and Warner and Pucvoski are joining the squad which means Head might be dropped too and Wade will play at his spot.
