What's wrong with the Australian top order. Almost everyone is playing like shit.

You have a fairly good cricketing sense but sometimes you say bizarre stuff, i don't why but okay. Roll Eyes

Well... I understand that they were trying to score runs as quickly as possible, but scoring 445 in the first innings and then being reduced to 89/7 in the second innings was like perplexing. And even worse, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep were among the wickets. IMO, this is was an unexpected turn of events. Now India's morale will be boosted after today's performance. At the moment, the series is drawn 1-1, and now no one can predict the outcome of the next two tests, scheduled to be played at Melbourne and Sydney respectively.

Yes, Australia came on the 5th day and tried to score quickly but they lost 89/7, it is really confusing to see the difference in runs between the first innings and the second innings. Moreover, it was a really sad ending where the match was drawn between the two teams, with the third Test match ending with an unexpected twist at the last minute. However, since the series is currently tied 1-1, we cannot predict who will win the next two matches. However, in these two matches, India and Australia will try hard to maintain their dominance and win the series.

Earned some decent profit by betting on a draw between India and Australia and I hope the remaining tests don't get washed out. 4th test is the big one for both teams and I am expecting India to win this series now.

Damn. This stunned me. Am a fan of Ashwin and it feels sad to see such a legend retired from international cricket, but the silver lining is that he is still playing in the IPL.

Who would've thought that scoreline would read 1-1 after the 3rd Gabba test? I didn't, in the best case scenario I was expecting at least 2-1 or worst 3-0 to Australia.

Australia scheduled the series strategically and opted for Perth, Adelaide (pink ball), and Gabba as the first 3 test venues. They were aiming for the lead before going to Melbourne and Sydney. So I'd say India are back in the series and might have a slight advantage despite a lack of form in the batting lineup or supporting hand to Bumrah.

What's wrong with the Australian top order. Almost everyone is playing like shit. They are now 28/4, with almost the entire top order and half of middle order back in pavilion - Nathan McSweeney, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne and Mitchell Marsh. And this time Jasprit Bumrah is getting excellent support from Akash Deep, and both of them have taken 2 wickets apiece. But the problem for India is that two in-form batsmen are at the crease now - Travis Head and Steven Smith.

They were trying to play aggresive because they had good lead already and wanted India to bat quick, if they had played defense India would have had much harder time to get breakthroughs.

They weren't in mood of draw I guess, and were confident in their bowling, Hazlewood is injured though, so that sucks for them.

BUT, rain is definitely in mood of draw.

What’s going on in this test match, Unbelievable !!! Look like Australia want the result in any case. They made a quick 89 runs but lost so many wickets in the process. 89 runs in 18 overs , could have been much better if they didn’t lose all these wickets. The Australian top order totally failed but Travis Head again give some resistance, made 17. Pat Cummins scoring a quick 22 in 10 balls and then they declare.

Australia might be thinking to get all the Indian team out in one and half session but again the rain ruin their chances to give it a try. Well even though the match will be draw but it was thrilling first and second session today.

On the 5th day, the Australian team did not perform well in batting in the second innings. Currently, the Australian team has lost their main wickets with few runs, Australia has scored 89 runs in just 18 overs and lost 7 wickets. The bowling performance of the Indian team was very good at the beginning of this match and Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah have bowled exceptionally well. Each of them has bowled well against Australia and has taken wickets, due to which the Australian team could not increase the runs today. However, at the moment, the lead of the Australian team is 274, if they can bowl out the Australian team soon today, then India will have a lot of chances. Since there is still a lot of chance of Australia winning, if the Indian team can bat well today, then they will also have a chance of winning.

Tea has been taken, and at the most 30-35 overs remain in this match. On top of that, rain is expected to resume at any time from now. Given this, it is impossible for India to chase down the target of 274. And that means that they are out of contention for the WTC finals unless miracles happen in the next few months. BTW, Bumrah was again exceptional. Australian batsmen doesn't know how to handle him, and this time even Travis Head and Steven Smith were unable to score too many runs.

Since there is still a lot of chance of Australia winning, if the Indian team can bat well today, then they will also have a chance of winning.

Australia's batting disaster has reduced the chances of winning the match. India still need 267 runs to win and have all the wickets. The weather has become a major factor during the second session of the fifth day and the lack of light has made it difficult to play on the field. However, it seems that the current Test match is likely to be drawn. I will praise the Indian bowlers because they did not allow the Australian batsmen to score runs in the second innings and still have a chance to win the match. Bumrah took 3 valuable wickets for 18 runs in 6 overs, besides Siraj and Akash Deep took 2 wickets each. If India can hold their own like on the fifth day, this Test will undoubtedly be a draw. And if India is able to take the lead given by Australia, then there is a chance of winning. However, the notable thing about the match is India's avoidance of follow-on and Akash Deep batting well as a bowler and taking the team to a respectable position by forming a partnership with Bumrah.

India scored only 252 runs for the loss of 9 wickets on the fourth day, the batting performance of the Indian team was not that good. Although the Australian team bowled well in this match, a few batsmen of the Indian team were able to bat patiently, otherwise they would have been all out long ago. Thanks to these two batsmen, Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul, the Indian team has been able to reach 252 runs so far, and all the other batsmen have not done well. Most of the batsmen have been out for a short run, however, India may not win this match because it is not possible for them to meet the target given by Australia. Moreover, since the Indian team has only one wicket left at the moment, they will be all out and I think they may be all out early tomorrow.

You only see good batting performances from KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, yes they batted well. Then you should notice that Akashdeep and Bhumra made a very important pair towards the end. Maybe India would have follow on in the third Test match against Australia if the pair had not built patiently. Even if India do not win this match, they still have a chance to draw the third Test match. Indians are bowling very well today, Australia have already lost four wickets for just 28 runs in their second innings. If the Indians can draw the third Test match, they might have a chance of winning this series, for that they will definitely have to bowl very well today.

The result of this match is definitely going to be a draw.

I think none of the team is the winner for this match. Australia played well but their country weather did not support them. Due to the constant rain intervals, we may not see the complete game and it will be drawn. Each team will get one point in the World Test Championship.

One wicket for the Indian team still remains, let's see which bowler will get this wicket. The way Australia played in this test, they deserve victory but as I said the weather was hard on them. However, after this game, two matches are still left and the series stands at 1-1. India and Australia both have a chance to make a comeback.

On the fifth morning, India lost the last wicket of Akash Deep and he was out on 31 runs. Man, he has done his job for the team. No matter how we see the overall performance of the Indian batting Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah did played well. (Jasprit Bumrah was good at bowling too).

As expected, the rain stopped the match on the fifth day too and players are waiting for the game to start. I think if there is no game possible in an hour or so, the match can be called off because even if we have the remaining days play, the result will be a draw.

New Zealand vs England, last test match is started. England already won last two test matches and won the series already. In the first Inngins of this match, New Zealand scored 347 runs which was a big amount of runs even from previous Matches where Tom Latham(63) and Mitchell Santner(76) did a half century each. Matthew Potts got four wickets each. But when it came to England turn, they did a poor score this time, 143 runs only where no player afford to score even a single half century. Apart from that, New Zealand team more dedicated as the result, they scored 453-10 runs which was another higher runs. Where Kane Williamson(156) Showed us a legendary century. And rest of players did well enough. Afterwards, second innings is ongoing, england did 187-5 runs yet. Jacob Bethell(74) did a decent amount of runs. England Still need 465 runs to surpass the Targeted runs given and i don't think English would afford this runs in such condition when they lost most of their batsmen. Now its time to see, how long English can survive in batting

England team won the series but last game New Zealand team won. England made bad decision when they won toss and they gave a Bat chance to New Zealand and New Zealand effort in 1 st turn was good in both batting and bowling. They made 347 runs, Mitchell made 76 runs in 117 balls and hitted ten 4s and two 6s. England team performed worst in 1 st turn and made great pressure to team and they made 142 runs only and New Zealand bowling was brilliant in this game, Henry took 4 wickets in 13.4 overs, Will and Mitchell also bowled well and each took 3 wickets. In 2 nd turn of New Zealand, new Zealand made more high runs 453 run and gave to England more 700+ plus to chase. England team played game under pressure and in 2 nd turn they chased only 234 runs and lost the game. Congratulations New Zealand team to win game and this effort needs in past 2 games.

The England team has already won the series 2-1, and the performance in the first two matches wasn't to the level. In the final test match, the New Zealand team has performed really well, and it is really a combined effort as the contribution is there from each and every player. The second match is really bad, as the total score of the New Zealand team from both innings was just 384 runs. In the first innings the team performed really badly, scoring just 125 runs. After a three-test match series win against India (3-0), New Zealand has lost against England. After this series, the New Zealand team doesn't have a test match series for a long time.

The sight of disappointment was clearly seen on the face of Australian players when they failed to take the last wicket. I saw that, when Akash Deep hit the boundary to avoid follow-on, the Indian dressing room was delighted with joy. My real concern is that a strong team like India is now happy and trying for draws instead of wins. They need to seriously look at the players regarding their bad performances. Moreover, Gambhir needs to be held responsible here along with the batting coach. Gambhir demanded all the changes in staff and coaches and still was not able to give the required performance from the team. With this draw, the chances of the Indian team playing in the WTC final are decreasing.

The 9th wicket fell on 213 runs and the last Indian partnership took them to 252 runs and still going. The disappointment from Australia was very obvious because the only way to win this test was to make India follow-on and then hope to get them out on the last day. Now that there is no follow-on, the match will be drawn.

Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah will remember this innings for a long time. They almost save this test match from an obvious loss.

Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep have stood wicket and supported the team to draw the match. It was Rahul and Jadeja who took the team from the worst situation and scored runs. Even in the last day, Australia will try to win the match. Even now India trails by 193 runs, and Bumrah with Akash Deep might score another 30-50 runs. If the climate is supporting, the Australia team will score 150 runs in the first session and request the India team to chase the target.

It will be interesting especially when India are desperately trying to avoid the follow-on with one wicket after the other. 10&11 finally managed to avoid the follow-on.
Now it can certainly be said that this match has 90% chance of a draw especially if India could not avoid the follow on then maybe Australia would have bowled India out very quickly tomorrow in the second innings and they would have tried to win in T20 style batting. But that won't be possible because if Australia starts the second innings tomorrow and tries to give India a big run target then it might be necessary to play a session in which case India can definitely bat till 60 overs in two innings then there is no possibility of India getting all out i.e. The match will be a draw.

After having superb bowling spell Jasprit Bumrah done good job with bat as well for India which helps them for avoiding follow-on and now most chances we will be having draw result for this match because if tomorrow we have early wicket for the Australia then still they have to bat and give target which could be not less than 350 then we will have not enough time for Australia to bowled out India with rain is still having his part on fifth day play.
Indian batting is surely feeling heat as we have nothing good from their top order, but we have good time for KL Rahul as first ball drop from Steven Smith helps him for registering 84 runs and also have good partnership with Ravindra Jadeja which bring India into game in rain hit third test match of BGT series at the end surely Australians were frustrated due to tail enders effort which have 39 runs for the 10th wicket.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma could not bat well in this match either. However, due to the big innings of KL Rahul and Jadeja, India was able to collect 250+. Rahul was able to play an innings of 84 and Jadeja was able to play an innings of 77 runs. At the end of the fourth day, India was able to collect 252 runs and India lost 9 wickets. India batted badly. India is still behind Australia by a big margin of 193 runs. But even then, India will not have any problem in drawing the match. Because the match has been delayed due to rain on every day of this match. Two innings are not finished yet in 4 days. The result of this match is definitely going to be a draw.

Interesting stuff in the end to avoid the follow-on, the match was probably done for Indians otherwise. Surviving Starc and Cummins is no easy feat, yet my bois Bumrah and Akashdeep played gutsy! Akashdeep impressed me real good, with just this innings I would have him in next match, Siraj can sit.

Yeh it's quite difficult to face Australian bowling trio(starc, cummin, Hazelwood ) in such situation where they already got momentum and having dominance over Indian top batter, at that point bumrah and deep face them when thier top batter already lose his wicket easily against them. Anyway through such vital last contribution from tail under safed indian team from follow on now definitely things will goes toward draw.

In third match, we have target of 659, but England bundled out on 234 which give consolation win to New Zealand which was having the worst time after beating India in India but lost important test series against England with the score of 1–2 Mitchell Santner score 125 runs and took 7 wickets as he was man of the match and Harry Brook took man of the series award after having 350 runs in three matches.

Yeh new Zealand having very awful results in his previous test matches like again SiriLankan and now against england but finally they make a comeback and scored phenomenal, I think it's too late for them but still a bit worth it and will help player to regain his confidence back, to be honest I was expecting such 400+ type Innings from them in their previous match but I think due to pressure mounting situation they were not able to get the situation and thus lose it but now finally with a handsome results they make things for colour ful for southee at end of his career
