Against England & Australia, out of 9 tosses, India managed to lose 7..

Incidentally, last time around Australia won all four of the tosses to go with winning three of them this time... thats quite some luck to win 7 out of the last 8 tosses.

Winning the toss tends to be a big advantage as you not only bat first in easier conditions but also you don't have to bat last and chase a target, which is never easy.

This is why there should always be much more assistance in the pitch in the 1st session of Day 1 to balance out not having to bat last, but instead you tend to get better conditions first up too. Double advantage.

Australia really should have got 400+ and India likely would've lost it there and then..

well I guess I'll be saying "Is it hello" a lot from now on

Edit: Jaddu should have told him if you were good enough to play in IPL you would've known.

Toss hasn't played any role in this series TBH. Apart from the low and slow Ranchi pitch, the other matches barely made it to day 4.

"Ask the one who's a better cricketer than you, mate. He is actually good enough to play in the IPL and picked up a few words, Maxwell I mean. Oh oh wait, I meant Warner. Ah damn it, maybe Starc. Hmm, pretty much anyone who isn't you I guess"

Oh no! When you reflect on it though we just didn't have the batting depth beyond Smith so I think a 2-1 scoreline is pretty fair. Let's hope we can weed a few out tomorrow to make it look respectable.

India man, they are a true giant at home. Kudos.

 

[indiaholic]

I don't think that's fair.. Maxwell, Renshaw, Handscomb, Marsh, and Wade have all played crucial knocks in this series.

really mothers say that to their sons in parsi households...?! holy crap!

as far as the test (and series) goes, australia still in with a chance, it's not like our 4th innings record is stellar or something...a couple of early wickets and the floodgates could easily open...

It is never abusive.. When I moved to Delhi, after the first year I was calling all my closest friends chutiye.. And that was a new normal. This is something like that and when it comes from a grandparent, it is kinda cute lol

If you aren't using such "cute" words you aren't even close.

Two crucial decisions backfired on us yesterday.

1. Shaun Marsh coming out to bat just before tea with a defensive mindset and limited movement = sitting duck or more accurately a sitting 1.

2. Wade taking the extra run on the misfield (thinking he'd get through for 3) which exposed Hazelwood for a full over.

Hopefully we get Rahul and Pujara out before the score reaches 30 which may make India nervous. It will have to be Cummins IMO.

WAC Tendulkar is

If nothing else goodcomes out of the series, this has made it worthwhile.

 

[srbhkshk]

I am not quite sure of anyone giving Australia a chance here, I know stranger things have happened in cricket but the target isn't even 105 now, it's 87 runs for 10 wickets and the morning session seems to be the best one to bat anyway. I mean this team has been superior (overwhelmingly or marginally) in 16 of the last 19 tests they have played and for all the great cricket Australia have displayed[11 out of 10 marks to them] India have still been the better team in 3 out of 4 matches so far.

I think my fav moment/day in this series from an Aus perspective was the draw. I would have backed us to crumble 99 times out of 100 (indeed, as we did today) but we didn't. That's a big step forward.

Reflecting on India, I will definitely be keeping an eye out for Jadeja and KL Rahul moving forward. Particularly Rahul, I like his attitude.

After Australia lost the 2nd test. I thought the moral would be down and out due to all the hard work the've put in, in the first test and first 4-5 sessions of 2nd test. But credit to the team for coming back strong in the 3rd test and stepping their game up.

ok...with friends (male friends that is) i completely get the interchange...grandmothers and mothers calling their sons/grandsons that in a normal setting kind of boggles the mind a bit, i guess i have to be in the situation to understand the "cuteness" involved...

Video isn't available, so I don't know if Wade got an answer to this important question.

but what DOES it actually mean? The guys down at the local Indian restaurant keep calling me that so it confuses me greatly, does it mean buddy?
