How easily Robert is depicting the whole test series but let me tell you Cricket is a funny game!
Rohit and kholi have to be dropped
India can win the Australian series really blessings in as disgusting
Previously Rahane captained and won the series in Australian soil without Rohit and Kholi with young players
So no worries
0 – 5 White Wash for India in Australia this time!
Why did CA chickened out? Have proof of ball tampering then please go ahead and charge the player. Sour ball tamperers just blaming India…
Australia must make sure that you win 5-0. As an Indian fan it's the only way India can escape from Rohit, Virat, Jadeja etc
Finally a discussion on this 5-0 for Aussies is highly likely barring weather intervention in Melbourne or Sydney
14.25 right on the nail – abrupt retirements/ sackings mid tour are highly likely
Crash Craddock is so biased. I'm still trying to understand the dribble that comes out of his mouth.
Indian youngsters getting retired
Because of no chance in india to select
Well now that everyone has started getting so negative with comments like 5-0 for aussies gives me confidence..i can see a similar kind of environment when india were bowled out for 36 in Adelaide..I am quite positive about vk getting runs in australia..And hopefully rohit takes some time play around 50-60 balls before playing aggressively..Yes I agree that defeating BD within 2 days made them complacent..they underestimated the nz team as they had lost 2-0 to SL..It's well known that many Indian batsmen struggle against spin and specifically left arm..then what was the reason of preparing turners…You had a template of beating England 4-1 which were definitely not rank turners and should have continued with the same..Also if you had decided that you would be playing on rank turners then why did you select Siraj..You could have easily selected Axar Patel and that would have been a gamechanger..look at his performance with the bat in bgt which was played in India, the test in BD where he scored a crucial 30 runs..he could have also negated azaz patel and santner to a certain extent..look at his performance with the bat in bgt which was played in India and also the other test matches including the test in BD where he scored a crucial 30 runs.Nz is a class team which are expert in strategizing and then collectively coming up with a performance..you understimated them and you deserved to lose..but having said that I still feel India will put up a much better show in aus..The conditions are different with the pitches having bounce and pace and they should do well. Funnily everyone seems to be writing them off now and this is exactly the situation where I have seen Indian team making a comeback with a vengeance multiple times.
Aust have had a problem taking 20 Indian wickets in the last 2 home series. They have good bowlers but if the decks are very flat the Indians can grind them down. Does India have the batsmen capable of that anymore? We will see. Looking fwd to a fascinating series. ❤
That Aussie Top order looked Vulnerable last year. Head n Company bailed them out alot. Sami missing is a huge loss for India.
Wouldn't you say that Bumrah was missing from the Indian team?
I still believe India 3-2 .
I really do feel sorry for Bancroft,was scoring mountains of runs while Warner was scoring none but had to bide his time while Warner had his farewell tour. The same guy that encouraged Bancroft to use the sandpaper. And now Warner has happily sailed off into the sunset while Bancrofts rich vein of form has ended and Gerard and Robert are drawing a line through Bancrofts career.
Only comparison in modern times is India themselves winning a series in Australia after being bowled out for 36 in the first test and having almost their entire first choice team injured over the course of the series.
46-36-26
Aussies are very good cricketers and near invincible in their own backyard in test cricket. So its very likely and possible they will win 5-0. But its equally possible India become combative and fight hard like they did last time. If that happens Aussies will find it hard to beat India and India might even win a test match or two its possible they may narrowly win the series. Both results are possible which is why it makes this series brilliant for neutral cricket fans like myself.
If India is vulnerable you guys should be scared
How can they say this when Australia's batting is just as unconvincing lol?
Beware the wounded team
Wow NZ forever the whipping post have come up with the greatest series sweep in Cricket history 3 zip in India against an Indian team full of current stars with the bat and the ball on wickets tailor made for the Indian spinners wooohoo. This news is only good enough to come second after Aussie v India B
Thanks Robert Craddock for your acknowledging this win by the Kiwi.
I still feel Aus 3-2. Def India low on confidence
We have to watch out
Aussie batting line up is weak too honestly. Onĺy one opener .. our 3 and 4 are totally out of touch.
Hopefully mcsweeney and webster join the batting ranks soon.
India going as underdogs has always worked in our favour, pressure ll be on Australia to win so in a way that's good for India.
need to get back Pujara and Rahane immediately
This Indian team are not able to handle the pressure when they are put under the scope. That's what I have noticed. Every time things don't go Rohit's way, he just seems lost and almost gives up and waits for something to happen. The pressure gets to him and he isn't able to handle it.
a team does not lose a match only because of the coach… at this level a coach is only a mentor and does the analysis, it is entirely upto to the arrogant celebrity like players to go out there and perform. Virat and Rohit are not fools not to understand what is happening, let us not forget these people earn atleast 5 Cr everyday, there are not doing national duty here, there are only playing for money . when you get paid so much you should be answerable to the people of this nation who follow you like idiots for such dismal and embarassing performance. you cant just come to india do a couple ad shoots make 20 crores, not score runs and then again go back to UK to spend time with family.
India will win again in Australia by three tests to two.
India has become a pu$$y team. Defeat them 5-0 then only gambhir rohit and kohli will walk off from India team.
Goes to show just how ignorant this journalist is, when he doesn't even know who the Indian pace bowlers actually are, let alone their qualities. Typical Aussie insular arrogance.
To Indian players – this is what happens when you don't play domestic cricket
Smith will bail out Aussies!! Again carry in his best form !
5 match series is far too long for these days. There will be niggles and injuries at the end of it on both sides.
Indias batting cannot stand up against australia frontline seemers they dropped pujara and rahane why cant they drop kohli and rohit both of them are in poor form australia will demolish this batting line up but i still feel kohli will show up.If they get sweep i would like to see if rohit ia left as captain. Pujara made a hundred and still he is not in the squad thats not fair. I love to see kohli bat but but players must be picked on form not name.
Ashwin is not bowling well at all he needs to be dropped and bring a new face.
This could be the last series we could see kohli and rohit in test cricket. But i know kohli will be uo for the fighr
New coach just before the BGT might have been the worst descision by BCCI. India really need to pull back from NZ loss.
Is Trump an Australian? Asking since he is a convicted felon.
I hope somehow someone convince kohli to be test captain again and if rohit fails in BGT ..he should be dropped ( i am saying this because he has a specific problem with incoming delivery from fast bowlers..while kohli was getting out in different ways)
If kohli also fails miserably he also needs to be dropped
I still hope that India does well in BGT because of the experience that current squad has in Australia ..players like Rohit, gill, kohli, pant, rahul, jadeja, ashwin, bumrah,siraj ..have all played in Australia before..if they use their experience and played collectively..india can still win bgt..
And my personal opinion:
Never doubt Indian team
