India v Australia: Virat Kohli says Steve O'Keefe was made to 'look dangerous' in Pune Test

For those like me who were playing yesterday and missed all the days play. 17 mins of cricket pr0n

17 minutes of pure bliss.....

Watching highlights on Fox sports as i missed yesterdays play, they skipped Kohlis wicket!

 

[StingBitten]

The selectors and coaches came into the series with a plan. Winning the first test by 333 runs isn't going to get them running to try out plan B.

I'm not sure if dropping one player for another is exactly effecting 'Plan-B'. However I think you're right, they're not dropping anyone unless someone drops the bucket in the second test.

O'Keefe made him look the opposite, is undangerous a word?

Well, yeah

But that is Ravindra Jadeja's career too...

No surprise, whoever cuts cricket highlights for foxsports is clueless they often leave out vital parts of the match while showing lbw drs reviews where the ball missed by a foot.

 

[Outshined]

Did we actually just roll India by 333 runs inside 3 days in India?

Someone call the Turbanator to double check.

Thank you. Was on a plane all day and missed it. Have taped it so I will watch it again but thank you so much.

Appreciate it.

I'd say his first ton in India in a momentous victory would have to be in the top 2-3 tons of his career. Especially given 40 wickets fell for 757 runs (ave of 18.9). Marvellous century.

Watching the highlight on Fox Sports, and I just realised that India's second innings lasted 203 deliveries - 1 more than Smith faced on his own. That tells me it was a bloody good knock!!!

Has anyone thought about investigating India's efforts both in the field and batting.
no.1 . Our bowling wasn't exactly unplayable.
no.2 . My mother-in-law could have caught better using her arse cheeks.
no.3 . Some of those shots were not the strokes of so called elite cricketers.
no. 4 .Something's not quite right,but we'll take it.

tattoos and earrings have just made it to India, at that rate they'll work out how to use the DRS in about 2025

Yep im investigating it closely for about the 8th time.

I like how Steve O'Keefe sucks because he bowls an accurate, repeatable line and length rather than putting massive turn on the ball yet we laud guys like McGrath, Stuart Clark, Hazlewood who largely do/did the same thing and got wickets with subtle seam movement.

 

[frankrizzo]

As surprising as it is still seems like a fair few aussies that don't rate hazlewood that highly either.

Ludicrous

No past, current or future Indian player can ever come close to matching Harbys total arsehattery.

I think he wears his turban too tight. To suggest India lost because of the pitch is real head in the sand stuff.

Mid 130's a touch more formiddable pace for nibbling it around.

If SOK backs it up next test, on what will undoubtedly be a less helpful surface, I am sure he will get a lot of kudos. Lyon could have easily had a bunch more wickets and SOK's performance would simply have been excellent rather than record breaking.

The bloke took 6/35. Twice. And has 200+ wickets @ 24 in "less helpful" Australian conditions. He's hardly a one innings wonder.

Maybe Harby should be more critical of his team's butterfingered fieldsmen......

Yes, India's 300 year old tradition of tattooing has really taken a long time to fully take root over there hasn't it.

They lost to the second ranked team in the world.

6 months ago Australia got destroyed by a team with 3 test class players, 3-0. How is one more suspicious than the other?

I don't know kohli comes pretty close

Well for the masses that barely follow test cricket outside outside of the home summer and the ashes, let alone shield cricket, he is exactly that, a one match wonder.

I hope he smashes it at test level but its hardly surprising he has struggled for profile

Kohli is antagonistic but he hasn't done anything near the levels of what Singh has done in the past
