For some reason, Australia seemed to be very angry towards India on the field. yes Australia is known for their sledging. And they absolutely did not hold back in this match, Or should I say in this series? I guess Australia was just angry that India was exploiting or trying to exploit their home conditions against Australia. Of course, abusing home conditions he is going to be always a part of test cricket. Now Australia has a great chance to win the series if they only draw the next match. But India will have to win the next match to level the series. So the pressure is going to be on India.

Australians were angry and Indians were rude. Remember the way Virat Kohli elbowed Sam Konstas and the way Mohammed Siraj picked up the fight against Travis Head? This is not sledging. I would rather call it boorish behavior. In the end, Indians ended up as sore losers as everyone except Nitish Kumar Reddy and Jasprit Bumrah performed like club players. On top of that, Indian selectors failed to perform their job. They constantly chose inputs from Kohli/Rohit rather than selecting players based on their merit.

In the 4th Test match between Australia vs India, the Indian team has come out to bat in the 2nd Innings. They have scored 8 runs in 6 overs without losing any wickets. We have seen that the Indian team did not do well in the 1st Innings, but we are enjoying the match to see how well they can bat today. Let's see what the Indian team can do.

India did not bat very well in their second innings due to which they lost badly, India was all out for just 155 runs. However, Australia bowled well, due to which they defeated India very easily and took the series lead. Australia won the fourth Test match against India by a huge margin of 184 runs, of course Australia will try to do better in the next match. However, if India wins the fifth match, the series will be tied, but the performance of Australia in the game will not allow India to reach the winning stage. We have seen that Australia played well in the fourth match, of course they will be more confident and play well for the next match.

Personally, i want India to win the Test match and qualify for the World Cup final but India has given a very disappointing performance. India team didn't show the intent they are chasing the target except Yashasvi Jaiswal, they played a responsible batting but unfortunately missed his well deserved century by 16 runs short. Australia outstanding bowling especially spinner Nathan Lyon picked the 4 important wickets. India middle order couldn't score runs and not many open players could play well, no player could make the century and didn't payed a day to save test match so how can you accept that you are playing a competitive game, indian team are losing a one-sided game. Rohit Sharma has been flopping in the whole test, and still no performance in the second inning.

Now if Indian batsmen can make a comeback in the second innings then maybe they will win this match. I believe that Indian batsmen have the ability to beat the score up to 350 runs.
But here I do not see any such hope and the reason for this is the performance of Indian batsmen in the past matches. Especially their experienced batsmen are continuously failing and as a result of which Indian team has to be eliminated from this year's ICC World Test Championship.

Most of us including me believe too that Indian team Gona easily chased the 300+ target as they already scored same number in his first inning without any trouble but I think the difference compared to previous innings was last day lack of time/overs pressure and once again same kind of batting collapse but lower middle order didn't respond good they way they does in previous and that's some how become the reason of defeats. I think Pakistan defeat make indian chances to play WTC final a bit blury but now Indian team defeat in fourth test match of the series put a full stop on thier chance to the final and thus some major mistake cost him such terrible things.

Australia is dominating against India, they won another game and are leading the series by having two wins. No rain disturbed the game (like in the previous game) and clearly Australia won it very easily. Virat Kohli is not playing well and in this game i am of the opinion that he is getting older now almost likely to touch 38 in the next couple of the years and also his beared also turn white. He should retire after the next event Champtions Trophy and should not go for the ODI World Cup 2027, just retire it will be good for him too.

If Virat Kohli loses form, it takes a long time to find that form. We have seen in the last few years that even though the cricket board gave him chance to play again and again, he could not utilize that opportunity in any way. But towards the end, especially before the ODI World Cup, he came back to form. But time does not stand still for anyone, in my perspective he should definitely retire from all international cricket but if the board is satisfied with him, then any harm that would be the board's responsibility.

India batted 80 overs but they lost all their wickets in just 155. Except for Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant, the rest of the batsmen could not add any good score to the team. Australia is performing well at the moment and they will probably try to continue their winning streak.

I disagree with this statement as mostly were feeling because with current level of performance Indian team is having flaws in batting specially their top order not performing as they needed Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul all are out of touch and chasing 300+ on last day of test match has never been easy.

Worst part of this second Indian inning was we have just 2 batsmen able to score runs in double figure no other batsman done anything solid which increase their chances even for draw this second inning remembering me we were watching Australia vs Pakistan because we have good history of Pakistani team doing blunders like these and losing match even they can go for draw as well with this we also need to appreciate Australians which done impressive job and now leading BGT by 2–1.

I expected that kind of situation but at one time I thought that match could be draw but Indian players lose their temprament and that was the person they lost the match in the end. I am happy and I prayed to win of SA and SA won the match against Pakistan and Pak team could not do anything by winning any match but SA qualified for WTC final and most probably Australia and SA will in the final and Indian team is almost out of the game of WTC final but Still Indian team has hope because Australia team will play 3 matches which decides that they will play the final or some other team will play the final.There are 90 percent chances of India to out of the game of WTC final and congratulations to South African team to play excellent against Pakistan team but Pakistan could stop SA team to go into final but that is perfect slap on the face of Indians .

We have seen that the Indian team did not do well in the 1st Innings, but we are enjoying the match to see how well they can bat today. Let's see what the Indian team can do.

The fourth game of the India tour to Australia completed. Australia played very well in both innings and won this game easily. Look at their first innings in which Australia scored 474 runs, playing first, it was very difficult for India as it included Australia bowling which was very difficult in which the Indian batsmen could only score 369 runs. Australia batsmen scored 234 runs in the second innings which was a good effort for India but the Indian batsmen could only score 155 runs and would end the match with 180 runs. The bowling of other Indian teams was quite good but even better was Australia who conceded only 155 runs. The last match of this series will be played to see who plays better as Australia has won 2 matches so far and India has one more last match to decide whether this series will be a draw or Australia will win.

It's been a decade since Aus won a Boxing Day test against India so it would be nice to see them win.

2014 - Draw
2018- India
2020- India
2024 - TBD

Australians finally end up there decade of drought by winning 2025 Boxing day test. There were strong predictions till tea of fifth days play that this test match will end in a draw but 7 wickets went down in final session that changed the result of the game. Bizarre performance from Indian batters in second innings, just two batters were able to make it to double figures. India made 155 in second innings, thanks to 88 runs partnership between Jaiswal and Pant otherwise India second innings will be concluded under 100 runs.

I disagree. There is a possibility that the ball swung on its own right next to his glove and the snicko proved that by showing no big spike at all. What's the point of such high tech devices if you can't trust what they are outputting?

I respect what you think, but there was a little spike and you can't deny that. It wasn't completely a flat line. Usually, umpire doesn't consider such small spikes to make decisions. There can always be some error in technology. The swing of the ball was clearly visible to the naked eye. Ball tracking system should clear your doubts. Do you really believe that a ball can swing in this way?

If you still think that it was an unfair decision and the ball had swung on it's own, then you are just saying it all from your emotion.

It was clearly visible on ball tracking system. Controversial things happen in cricket, but it was a fair decision by the 3rd umpire.

I mean it does not make much sense to me what you are saying — how does ball swing on it's own right in the air? And even if absurdly it does, why did it deflect right next to glove and not before or after?

Despite being Indian cricket fan, I would have been more annoyed if it was given not out.

It wasn't without trouble in first innings, India were 191/6 then Nitish Reddy and Washington partnership saved them that helped India accumulate 300+.

They could have tried to bat quickly, to give the other team a chance to bowl them out etc.

Aggressive batting style won't help any team to win this test series. Because the pitch has nothing for the bowlers. They have made completely flat pitch. Afghanistan would only lose the wickets quickly if they tried to play in aggressive style. Now their batsmen are trying to make records of run in their name as they won't be able to win the match. It will end as a draw for sure.

There is nothing much left in this test match except that I am waiting to see Hashmatullah Shahidi score a double century. Also Afsar Zazai is batting on 46 and hopefully he will make his half century too on the last day of this test match.

Earlier Rahmat Shah played a superb innings of 434 runs. It was a classical test match innings as he took 474 balls to make these runs. He was in no hurry and played every ball on its merit.

The two sessions of the fifth day of the test match which was held between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe are already almost at the end i.e. the first innings of both the teams is over on the fifth day. If we look at the run statistics of both the teams then one thing must be clear that the total runs of both the teams in both the innings is 1285(Zim 586, Afg 699) .

Two batsmen from Afghanistan have scored double century and 3 batsman from Zimbabwe has scored 3 century ie five batsmen have collected 9 hundred runs together. It will not be wrong if we consider this match as a run test match.

However, Afghanistan were bowled out for 699 in the first innings and at the moment Afghanistan have taken their first innings lead by 113 runs. If Afghanistan can bowl out Zimbabwe very quickly with 55 overs to play, there is a chance of a miracle victory for Afghanistan.

Once Jaiswal—Pant had settled I thought, may be they should go for the target rather than cruising towards draw but as things turned out, even draw is looking out of sight at the moment.

Pant had lost his patience and got out for a bad decision. It was completely unnecessary to go for a six. India didn't had any chance to win the match during that time. Maybe he had lost his patience there for playing slowly.

It was hittable ball so may be that's why. I assumed it was going for six runs moment he hit the shot but it got caught and I was disbelief.

Unfortunately after Pant, Indian team fell like dominoes.

In the last stages of the match, Pakistan reached close to the win but no problem they have lost the game, they are already out from the WTC because their performance was so poor in the previous series of test matches since Shan Masood became the captain of the team, won just single series against England but that does not make value if you lost from Bangladesh, Australia and one other team. Now they are losing from South Africa too. At the same time, even in the England series where the Pakistan won, there was not a good game from Shan Masood and did not make a good impact as captain for the team.

Unfortunately all pakistani team effort goes in vain because they unable to divert results in thier favor at very last stage of the game, when they have strong took grip on game but due to crucial and unexpected partnership of tail under rabada and janson things goes out of pak hands and thus lose. To be honest when they took a 150 around lead at that time no one except Pakistan to make a comeback but due to firey performance of Abbas they make a comeback of team on a track to victory and it was look like may be indian will have chance to play WTC final but later they unable to finish things according to required and thus not only runied indian chance to play Final but provide opportunity to his opponent to get 1-0 lead in test series

I think South Africa was doing good until they started to bat in the 2nd innings. After losing the three quick wickets, they needed to change their mind set as they were losing wickets quickly and they need someone to stay on the batting crease. The runs would have come automatically it was just a matter of staying on the wicket.

I wasn't expecting Kagiso Rabada to make 31 runs at the end when it matter the most. I think his partnership with Marco Jansen saved the game for South Africa.

With the way they kept South Africa under pressure for 148 runs, it is easy to assume that Pakistan could have won if they could have taken a little more run lead. Shame on Pakistan as Mohammad Abbas bowled brilliantly but could not get the win in the end. But we can't believe that Rabada and Marco Jansen will have such a wonderful partnership in this test match. These two batsmen taught how to bat in adversity. However, I hope that Pakistan will win the second test match.

Yes, the way Rabada and Marco Jansen led the team to victory can be emulated by any team in the world. Getting such a victory is great and inspiring for any team where the top level and middle level batsmen fail to play as expected. Pakistan fans assumed that they would defeat South Africa but the result was the opposite because the lower order players of a team are capable of showing good play and bringing victory to the team.

South Africa was pressure-free in the first half and was batting well till the tea break. Mainly because of the excellent bowling of pacer Abbas, they had to put up some pressure. Abbas returned to the field after almost three years and bowled brilliantly and took 6 wickets for 54 runs in 19.3 overs in the second innings which was very challenging for the opposing team. After the eighth wicket was taken out of the 99 runs of the match, everyone assumed that South Africa would lose. However, these two batsmen ignored all the pressure and batted well and took their team to the final of the Test Championship which is commendable.

We have seen that the Indian team did not do well in the 1st Innings, but we are enjoying the match to see how well they can bat today. Let's see what the Indian team can do.

India did not bat very well in their second innings due to which they lost badly, India was all out for just 155 runs. However, Australia bowled well, due to which they defeated India very easily and took the series lead. Australia won the fourth Test match against India by a huge margin of 184 runs, of course Australia will try to do better in the next match. However, if India wins the fifth match, the series will be tied, but the performance of Australia in the game will not allow India to reach the winning stage. We have seen that Australia played well in the fourth match, of course they will be more confident and play well for the next match.

What a rollercoaster of a test. This is easily one of the best tests played in recent history. At one point, both India and Australia had the upper hand and it seemed evenly balanced until the Indians collapsed like dominoes in the 2nd innings.

Jaiswal's 3rd umpire call was bogus since it wasn't 100% clear that he snicked the ball while Rohit and Virat are competing for the worst baggage award these days. This series would have already gone to the Aussies if it wasn't for the rain interference in the previous test.

It seemed a bit strange to me that the Australians would lose their wickets so quickly in the second innings, to be honest it was unexpected for me.
But anyway, that is also part of the game and that is why we will enjoy this fourth Test series. Although I thought that Australia would score another 400+ runs in this match and set a target of 500 for the Indian team, it is no longer possible to do so as they only have one wicket to go.
Anyway, even then, the Australian team has only one wicket I think there will late at least 350 Runs from the Indian team. And that would be fair enough for winning against the Indian team.

You were right with your prediction. Australia already won the match. I don't know what is wrong with the top-order batters of India. They have been constantly failing for the last couple of matches. Australia had the same issue in a couple of matches. They also had batting failure in a couple of matches. Sometimes the bowlers played better than the batters. India had a chance to chase these runs. But they couldn't.

Today, I saw a Facebook reel where Travis Head was inappropriately celebrating a wicket. People making memes and saying Head has some personal issues with India. This guy is taking over Indian bowlers in every format.
