Border Gavaskar Trophy, India v Australia, 4th Test 9-13 March, 1430hrs at Ahmedabad

Who are Indian fans going to worship and go apeshit over when Kohli retires? He was the successor to Tendulkar but I don't see a successor for him.

 

[ABAB]

They already got one last match champ

The other pitches were fine

Debatable, at least 3 of them should be classified as poor. The 1st one the curators only watered one half of the pitch lol and this one was clearly prepared for a draw. The pitch for the 2nd Test still finished within 3 days.

Pant when he returns

 

[JimmyBC]

If we're minnows then why couldn't India beat us in the final? It's not like we beat Bangladesh or Zimbabwe in the final, we beat one of the best teams.

You lucked into it no one rated you the best test side in the world for a second.

The first two were 'average"

 

[Moonwatcher]

I can’t wait to get them to The Gabba !

India won the last test there.

 

[Xtreme]

India doing the run chase pretty easily at present, Australia needs to kick into gear if they want to win this test match.

The first two provided an awesome result

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Will India get a poor pitch rating for the entire series???

No.

 

[windyhill]

India won the last test there.

Yes mate, I was being sarcastic !

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

India won the last test there.

That pitch sucked, didn't break up at all.

Probably because it was the last test of the series but the Gabba has always been the first test of the series but Indians didn't want to play there first up.

Gill? Maybe Pant if he comes back.

 

[deanc]

There’s Bazball, this is Snoozeball, get on with it, pitch is flat as a pancake, no wonder this format is dying.

Are you actually watching live or just following on Cricinfo..?
While this deck has no lateral movement, from the outset it's also been slow and low and now has an increasing hint of variable bounce - conditions which do not allow easy runs, notwithstanding poor bowling...

 

[Nuggetz]

need gill to make a big one like uzzie

 

[sydney_gws]

This gill innings is giving me flash backs to the game where we somehow let dhoni score 220. Dhoni had more lives than a cat that innings.

Have we dropped him? I am not following each ball, just checking scores

SKY?

Pant when he returns

I think you mean if

 

[Plugger35]

You lucked into it no one rated you the best test side in the world for a second.

Maybe not but we were one of the best sides hence why we made the final and we were due for some luck after being robbed in the World Cup final.

Probably helped NZ playing 2 tests v Eng in Eng just before the final and India coming in cold....but hey kudos to NZ for taking advantage of that.

 

[Plugger35]

SKY?

In ODIs and T20s sure but he probably won't make it as a test batsman.

Pant may be the best candidate if he can get back to full fitness again, he is good enough to play all 3 formats.

 

[Belnakor]

Have we dropped him? I am not following each ball, just checking scores

He has been lucky not to play on 3-4 times but no drops. His mid hits have gone for four most of the time. Just having a charmed innings.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Explain to me why Starc is bowling just before the 2nd new ball is due... whilst under bowling 2 of our spinners who have been more economical & taken the wickets...

 

[GOAUS!]

I think you mean if

Well I'm being hopeful. He would be a loss to cricket, although fully understandable if he doesn't return. Still he's got the most clear upside of the current Indian crop.

What planet are you on. Sorry WA, should've known
