Are India heading to Australia VULNERABLE? - SEN

[@sayantanpoali5877]

If Rohit remains Test captain, Dhoni era of test cricket will be back...Its a definite series win for the Aussies without Pujara....

[@krishnasa8916]

Pujara is not in the playing 11 for BGT already!!! Game is in next 17 days.. no time

[@murraysmith595]

That Aussie Top order looked Vulnerable last year. Head n Company bailed them out alot. Sami missing is a huge loss for India.

[@callofduty3807]

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.

[@MickMeginess]

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.

[@jamesbuesnel5054]

Yeah it's like office politics got fkd over now will never play again. Pretty sad

[@joedont9307]

Oh stop it.. Bancroft came up with that ridiculous idea himself.. and he can't bat on an international level. Give him a hundred innings and he'll average 20

[@paws_therapy]

Yeah absolutely right. Warner was the main culprit and surprisingly people forget it now.

No chance whatsoever of 5 0.

[@foliumofdescartes7949]

Australia need just 3 good days to beat this team of overhyped overpaid third grade lazy incompetent losers. They will thrash them 5-0, dont worry about the weather.

[@mikespearwood3914]

@@peternagy-im4be There was "no chance" of India losing 0-3 against NZ a month ago!

[@lxpang]

The conditions were foreign to NZ in the second and third tests. The first test was a moist seaming wicket with cloud cover, which the commentators and many analysts said was more like NZ than India. I thought the player of the match was Ajaz Patel in the third test per cricinfo.

[@sumbdi]

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.

[@SandipSharma-ei2mh]

How easily Robert is depicting the whole test series but let me tell you Cricket is a funny game!

[@NostalgicBastard]

Yes. We Indians are understanding it now. Don't worry we will understand more things during BGT when India lose 5-0

[@krishnasa8916]

0 - 5 White Wash for India in Australia this time!

[@Mhxhgc]

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. ❤

[@opalruby13]

The decks will not be very flat. Pitches in Australia have been lively in the last three seasons and the larger seam on the Kookaburra makes it tougher for batting than it used to be. There’s a reason why there have been few Test centuries in recent years.

[@regibala5487]

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

[@jamesbuesnel5054]

How can they say this when Australia's batting is just as unconvincing lol?

[@joedont9307]

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.

[@_ultimata_]

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.

[@dfb1976]

14.25 right on the nail - abrupt retirements/ sackings mid tour are highly likely

[@CRIC_BAE1]

Why did CA chickened out? Have proof of ball tampering then please go ahead and charge the player. Sour ball tamperers just blaming India...

[@Leoatwallacerockhole]

Thanks Robert Craddock for your acknowledging this win by the Kiwi.

[@dsulvadarius]

Wouldn't you say that Bumrah was missing from the Indian team?

[@aggplvc]

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.

[@thiru_asc1]

It is because of useless coach in Gambhir and his bunch of jokerd,who should be sacked

[@Leoatwallacerockhole]

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

[@mikespearwood3914]

The 2nd & 3rd tests, sure. But the 1st test was heavily in NZ's favour.

[@ethancoster1324]

Beware the wounded team

[@arunmahadevan4093]

Theyve certainly had a rude wake up call, but I wouldnt worry. These guys are used to criticism and pressure.Rohit and Kohli will relish the true Aussies decks. I expect the Indian team to regroup . A change of scene away from the chaos at home will actually be a relief for them.

[@Bhavik630]

Get out of your deep slumber and smell the Coffee. Both of them are on decline since past few years particularly Kohli and Rohit Sharma has never been a test great anyways. India will compete only if the youngsters like Jaiswal and Gill step up and Pant continues his swashbuckling form in Australia... Plus it will depend on how Australian bowlers tackle Bumrah

[@vishalkulkarni6046]

That’s just wishful thinking I recon .

[@arunmahadevan4093]

​@@Bhavik630Sure, it's a fact that Kohli and Rohit are on the decline. They will find a way to fight for ugly runs and make small contributions in the field . I still say India are good enough to win 2 tests, and if Aus implode against SL , NZ draw against Eng and SA have a middling home summer we will still have a shot at the WTC final !

[@NostalgicBastard]

Dude they passed their prime. In their prime they may have made a come back but those days are over now

[@Aman-nk5uq]

I agree. These decks are horrible and Australia might suit them. Let's see how it goes

[@rohanmarkjay]

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.

[@indianshamrocks6884]

5 match series is far too long for these days. There will be niggles and injuries at the end of it on both sides.

[@parkerklarke9150]

Rohit and Kohli need to be dropped

[@Hwyoshi96]

Without them scoring runs in Australia India has no chance sadly

[@sumbdi]

​@@Hwyoshi96in 2020-21 series VK and rohit didn't scored to many runs

Don't hurry to think they both are done in test cricket give them setbacks by dropping them especially Rohit and go grind in domestic red ball cricket It is sad to see Kohli is under achieved in test cricket and I still believe he has another 3-4 years cricket left in him considering his fitness.

Crash Craddock is so biased. I'm still trying to understand the dribble that comes out of his mouth.

[@kalpakg]

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.
