Takeaways for India after BGT:

1. Need 4 seamers in the XI not just bowling allrounders

2. Spin cupboard looks bare. How many Ranji bowlers today can walk into an international XI?

3. A young fresh minded captain is needed. Possibly Pant.

So this is it!

Sharma lost 0-3 to Kiwis,

Destroyed India by taking back captaincy in Adelaide,

Made sure India lost at MCG with poor team selection,

Lost us the 'treasure' Bumrah with work overload,

Lost the BGT,

TY Sir Vadapav !

@starsportsindia.bsky.social Ramesh sir, how is it correct that India took in Washi and Jadeja in XI when Harshit Rana was left out on this bowling pitch?

Why wld Bumrah open with Siraj who sprays the new ball and wont bottle up one end?

Bumrah shoulda trusted Prasidh Krishna who's got good pace and coulda troubled the Aus batters early on.

India are heading into their comfortable and consistent
150 all out 😜😅

Chalte Sharma kept out too late !

If only better sense prevailed and Bumrah had carried on as captain, India could well be 2-1 now and clearly looking to win the BGT.

This brouhaha over team selection, tiring bowlers and incohesive unit coulda been left to dust.

Going by India coach press meet,

there seems to be a delightful prospect that vadapav Sharma may not play at SCG 😍

India will now realise the importance of Pujara, Vihari who could bottle one end up.

In their crazed T20 mindset to batting, they have made 150 scores 8 times in the last 14 test innings.

This guy Nitish is gold. He can block and also up the scoring. Hope his game isnt destroyed by IPL.

Why India lost at MCG:
1. Disturbing the well set opening combo Jais-KL.
It was disaster to send in Rohit to open in first innings in an important game. And repeat it in the second outing when decision was taken to enforce a draw.

So here we are, glad India is back to batting form!

err... i mean they are back to 150-160 totals in tests 😀😁

#AUSvIND

hmmm. India are getting back into the 160 all out mode
🤣🤣
December 30, 2024 at 6:13 AM
Daft thinking from team tank !

Why send in Nitish after Jadeja when he's made a hundred in the prev innings ?!
December 30, 2024 at 5:26 AM
Pant done nothing this series and needs to be punished for pulling that long hop to the fielders throat!

Jurel is anyway a better bet at SCG.
December 30, 2024 at 4:54 AM
Another brain fade from Chalte Sharma in pushing himself again as opener when team decided to enforce a draw!

His game at the moment isnt even suited to garden cricket and he wants to blockathon the Aus bowlers?!

KL Rahul shoulda opened with Jaiswal.

Predict Lyon and Boland to run through India on day 5 at the G

Thats it then.

Cummins can declare overnight and India will be all out by lunch.

And I hope to God, Sharma will have the courage to retire tomorrow.

2-1 Australia heading into SCG 😛

Vadapav shld resign from captaincy now at close of Day 4 and hand over to Kohli.

Forget the dropped catch at 91-6, what was he doing to drift the game from a win to sure shot defeat at 228-9 ?!

He allowed 137 runs from lower order when he couldnt make half those runs in this series !
December 29, 2024 at 7:10 AM
Jaiswal dropped the BGT series and the WCT finals with that drop !

😅😅
December 29, 2024 at 6:01 AM
A sensible and winning trick Cummins can do is to declare now. 262 as a target is un-gettable for India.

And, if he's thinking of 350ish that will waste time and make India bat out for a draw !

Aus 116-6 44 overs.

India have lost the plot and cant chase down beyond 200 !
What they shld try to do is to restrict scoring to a trickle and play out time.

Draw is the best result and Sydney here we come !
December 29, 2024 at 3:57 AM
Yea, Aus 91-6 and like I said India will rue they didnt get close to the first inngs score of 474.

Have to blame one person only - Vadapav Sharma - for contributing immensely for team defeats and for shunting poor KL up and down the order!
Day 4 lunch MCG:
unless Aus get all out in next 50 runs, doesnt look like India's game at all.
India shld be kicking themselves the top order didnt get them close to the Aus total !

KL Rahul is the real selfless one here. He isnt a grafter, he is a stroke maker and has to curb his instincts for the team's cause.
This will surely dent his run making since he has to shepherd Jaiswal. And be ready to flit up and down the order at the whim of vadapav Rohit !
