Today's match is between India A and Australia A. In which I was seeing Australia A win. India A's batsmen have scored only 161 runs which is a shame. Their batsmen should have set a target of at least 300, which would have proved difficult for Australia A. But the performance of the Australia A bowler was very high due to which he would start taking wickets and runs less when under pressure. Australia A batsmen have scored 53 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in 17 overs and their game will continue. In which the game has been stopped due to stumps. But I have full hope that India A will lose this match.

Australia losing wickets in the early morning of the 2nd day and this makes it very difficult to predict as who will win this test match. Australia are 85 for 5 now and they still trail by 72 runs. All hopes for Australia now rest with Marcus Harris as he is only set batsman playing at 39. If he can play a big innings and other players give him a partnership, Australia may reach the Indian total, else they may go out early.

I think the key to this match is anyone from any team playing a big inning and that will take the game in their favor. I think even in the 2nd innings it will be low scoring totals from both teams.

The weakest point for India was their batting line-up while their batting line-up is better than the batting line-up of the strongest teams in the world. New Zealand is a strong team in all other formats, including Tests, but if Bangladesh or any other team had performed like this instead of India, things might have been accepted. But it is hard to accept that India have lost three consecutive Test matches on Indian soil. In the third match, India had many good chances to win but India failed to capitalize on those opportunities. If they had batted in T20 style with such a small target of runs, they might have won this match but they lost this match while playing against time.

Yes India loss in Test series at home was surprising. They have strong team that can bat well but they struggled against New Zealand. Losing three matches in row on their own soil is unexpected. New Zealand is strong team in many formats including Test cricket. However India performance was disappointing. In third match India had many chances to win but did not take them. If they had batted more aggressively like in T20 cricket they might have won. The target was small but India cautious approach led to defeat.

Not that New Zealand has won the only Test match against India. New Zealand toured India and played three consecutive Test matches against India in which India lost all three. It is natural to criticize such a performance by India as they had ample opportunity to turn around where they have always failed. It has been seen in every match that Indian batsmen can do well in the first innings but they fail in the second innings. New Zealand have won all three of these matches against India and have beaten India by huge margins in all three matches so this series is considered a historic one.

Not only the Indian national team but also their A team is struggling in batting these days. We have the 2nd and the final unofficial test match between India A and Australia A today. In this match, they have again failed in the batting and have made only 138 runs with 8 wickets down. They lost the previous test match too when they made only 107 runs in the first innings and today also they were having a hard time batting first. I think they would have preferred to bat in the second but it was Australia A who chose to field first.

Where everyone failed in batting today, it is only Dhruv Jurel who is batting at 77 and is still playing. I doubt if he can complete his century as he is short of partners. Only two wickets are left.

Today was the first day of the second test match and so far both teams are going equal, the pitch is not so good for batting meanwhile good for the bowling that is why India has lost all their wickets early at the low score of 161 and now the India A team also doing well as they have picked 2 wickets when Australia reached to just 53 runs but I think Australia A will give the target of more than 250 because they can steady the game, I am pretty sure about this. Let's see what's going on and what more awesome things we find in this game of test before we see the India Australia test series.

Given the unpredictable performance of India A, it is likely that India A will fail to do well against Australia A in this match as well. However, if India A's bowlers can prevent Australia A from scoring 108 runs tomorrow, then India A may have some opportunities. But the question here is, can India A make their bowling line-up suicidal? I think it is very important for India A to try hard to draw this series.

I am still hoping good for the Indian A team because this is the pitch of Melbourne and some days before there was the match between Pakistan and Australia in which both teams were facing problems in batting because the pitch is totally made for bowling and now the pitch is exactly behaving or set whatever you would like to say as in Pakistan match.

The pitch is bowling pitch and if in this stage, India will perform amazing and good bowling, no one can beat them in this ground. Australia A vs India A, the match is in the pressure mode for both teams. Australia A may seem to be at some advantage at the current stage but things can change pretty quickly if India takes some quick wickets tomorrow early morning.

After long wait second unofficial test match among India A squad against Australia A squad is begun today and previous first match was finished few days ago and in this match Australia A squad performance was unbelievable and they defeated against strong squad India A squad. First day of second test match was played today also first inning was finished by India A squad. Australian bowling inning performance was impressive in first day and they destroyed all batter of India A squad for only 161 scores. Just middle order batters succeeded to express their best strength and also build long inning. Dhruv Jurel single batter just collected 80 scores of total scores 161. If Indian A bowlers will deliver same performance like their batters them their squad will face very bad defeat because Australia A squad is in full form and have great chance to get victory in this match.

The last game was won by the Australia A team which is why still I am thinking that this time too Australia will get the win, India A have to improve their batting then I think there may be more chances for them to win the game but so far Australia is leading the game, it is the Australian home ground and they have played a lot of matches there, the biggest advantage is this and yeah Australia is in advantage. We can Australia has chased 40 percent of the target today and tomorrow I hope Australia will convert their trail into the lead. The Australia A team trail by 108 runs.

In the first innings of India, they have lost their back to back 4 wickets and after that one or two players came who made at least 30 scores each and then also lost their wickets, such an poor performance. I was surprised that KL Rahul, who is such a big name of the Indian cricket has out on 4 by the A team of Australia. It proves that it is very good choice to leave KL Rahul out of the Indian main squad, he is not a pro player any more, he is not a game changer any more for the Indians. KL Rahul is now history.

Given the unpredictable performance of India A, it is likely that India A will fail to do well against Australia A in this match as well. However, if India A's bowlers can prevent Australia A from scoring 108 runs tomorrow, then India A may have some opportunities.

Look, the Indian batting line-up is very strong but they could not perform consistently against New Zealand which resulted in a surprise Test series defeat by New Zealand. This is probably the first time I have seen Indian team lose three Test matches in a row against a team. In the third Test match between India and New Zealand, the Indian batsmen were unable to win despite a small target, mainly due to poor batting performances. The Indian team's top order batsmen and lower order batsmen performed worst in the third Test match. I was surprised by the batting performance of veteran Virat Kohli, who did not perform well in either of the two innings of the third Test match.

Indian batting lineup was strong now they are strong on papers as things are completely change in recent time they were on their lowest level in series against New Zealand at home their next two challenges are going to be more challenging them while they will visit Australia and England.

Even now their new generation players are facing problems to play spinners which is the biggest concern for them with pitches selection is also going against them suddenly while we will have good Indian team in all formats things are taking quick changes which are surely going to create problems for them for having better performance at home and away now it's time for them to bring changes into their domestic system because this will surely bring good changes for them in test format which is now biggest challenge for the selectors.

Both the Indian batting line and the bowling line are good but they are really sad for them on their home ground against New Zealand. Moreover, they have not won a single match out of the three matches, which is surprising, but they have lost at home. Here I will say that the problem in India was mainly the bowling problem, due to which the New Zealand team had a good bowling line, due to which India was able to easily control them. India was not able to meet the small target in the 3rd Test match, which is even more painful for them. Basically, I think this match was unfortunate for India and fortunate for New Zealand. Basically, the experienced batsmen also did not perform well in this Test match, besides, the bowling line did not do so well. Overall, I think there are a lot of mistakes in India's game. However, Virat Kohli is not doing well in the commentary and now he is batting with frustration in every match, due to which he is not able to score good scores for the team.

Rishabh Pant didn't batted comfortably. If he had settled in, and batted for a few hours, then we could agree on that. But he came with his guns blazing and was trying to smash each and every ball out of the park. Luck was on his side and he managed to survive for 57 balls. But then, I would not say that he was comfortable out there. The pitch was not suitable for international cricket, and there is no doubt regarding this. It gave the spinners an undue advantage. The only difference this time was that it backfired on the Indians as Mitchell Santner and Ajax Patel roasted them.

Yes you are right Rishabh Pant batting style was very aggressive but it did not look like he was comfortable. He tried to hit every ball as far as possible depending on luck instead of playing carefully. Even though he managed to stay in for 57 balls it was clear he was struggling. Condition of pitch was not good enough for international cricket. It helped spin bowlers too much. Usually this would help India but surprisingly Mitchell Santner and Axar Patel used spin to India disadvantage. Pant batting plan and pitch conditions together led to unexpected result.

Yes ,you are right. Pant was the only person who played well from Indian side . He played well in both innings and made half centuries in both innings. Shubman Gill played excellent in first inning and he made 90 runs which made made some interesting but after that Indian bowlers could not perform well and also Indian team did not play well in second inning and all team out by making only 121 runs. Rishab Pant made 60 runs in 59 balls and Sunder made 38 runs in 36 balls . But performance of all team of India was poor in second inning except Pant.Virat Kohli made only 5 runs in two innings of this match and Indian fans had great expectations from that player and that player will do well in next matches,that is expected.

The main problem for the Indian team was in the batting line, as the batsmen of the Indian team could not withstand the extra pressure of the New Zealand bowling. Due to which the Indian team lost in a disappointing manner and created a losing record by losing three consecutive Test matches at home. At present, the batsmen of the Indian team are responsible for such a result of the Indian team, but in this match, even though the game was under the control of the Indian team in the last innings, the batsmen in the top batting list were aggressive and the batsmen in the top batting list were under maximum pressure. And in the last minute the Indian team collapsed after collecting 121 runs.

Yes it might have been noticed by all that India lost three consecutive Test matches against New Zealand due to their poor batting performance. We may all know that Indian batsmen are very strong and they can perform well against any strong team. Moreover, India's batting lineup is stronger than any other country in the cricket world, yet they performed worst against New Zealand. When Rishabh Pant batted for India in the second innings of the third Test match, we thought maybe India would win this match. But when he was dismissed by Ajaz Patel for 64 runs, India's chances to win of that match were greatly reduced, as a result of which they lost to New Zealand by just 25 runs till the end.

The weakest point for India was their batting line-up while their batting line-up is better than the batting line-up of the strongest teams in the world. New Zealand is a strong team in all other formats, including Tests, but if Bangladesh or any other team had performed like this instead of India, things might have been accepted.

India goal was achievable but their batsmen faced tough task staying on pitch. Rishabh Pant performed exceptionally well especially after top players were dismissed early. However his nervousness took over leading to careless shots that ultimately led to his dismissal..If Pant had played more defensively India might have won game. His partnership with Washington Sundar looked promising but unfortunately they failed to seize opportunity. Pant inconsistency was costly and more controlled innings could have changed outcome in India favor. Pant potential and talent were evident but his impatience proved detrimental.

This was the first time in last 33 attempts that India failed to achieve a score under 200 while they are chasing in the last inning so as we already know we have too many records broken by New Zealand in this series due to poor quality of Indian batting and their new generation players completely fail to play average spin bowling of New Zealand because we all know India is one of the best team which can play good to spinners.

But, luck was not near India in this home series which is first time whitewashes by any team in India with it's also first time New Zealand won any series with this score but now all ended and time for looking into future instead of leaking of wounds.

Washington Sunder and Kuldeep Yadav can replace this current duo of legendary spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja after few months because it's time for having changes in team which are essential for the success in the future.

We all know that it was a difficult pitch. And moreover, batting becomes 2x tougher in the 4th inning. Still, Rishav managed to score good runs, which was really impressive to see. I think the controversial out decision was the main reason for the Indian loss. We now hope that the Indian team will go as an underdog in BGT and will aim for a clean sweep against Australia to play the WTC finals. It’s hard but still possible.

No doubt Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are world class spinners but they did took the wickets and played their part. Ravindra Jadeja took 5 wickets in the first innings and 5 in the 2nd innings. Along with him Washington Sundar took four wickets in the first innings. Ravichandran Ashwin also played his part and took 3 wickets in the 2nd innings. If India had won the match, then we might have Ravindra Jadeja as the player of the match as he took 10 wickets in the game.

Are you blaming the pitch alone that caused batting to be unplayable and the whole team got out at 121 Huh

Remember it was the same pitch where Rishabh Pant was batting comfortably. He made 64 in 57 balls only.

Rishabh Pant didn't batted comfortably. If he had settled in, and batted for a few hours, then we could agree on that. But he came with his guns blazing and was trying to smash each and every ball out of the park. Luck was on his side and he managed to survive for 57 balls. But then, I would not say that he was comfortable out there. The pitch was not suitable for international cricket, and there is no doubt regarding this. It gave the spinners an undue advantage. The only difference this time was that it backfired on the Indians as Mitchell Santner and Ajax Patel roasted them.

Yes it is very much known that the majority cause of this series loss for Indian team is due to their batting. Also if we only look at the last match it was not only that Indian team batted poorly but also it was not an healthy performance of batting by New Zealand team too.

New Zealand made 235 in the first innings and then making only 174 in the 2nd innings wasn't any good batting display. It is only that Indian team have lost the test, everyone is looking at thier batting performances and not really talking about the same New Zealand poor batting. We usually forget the bad performance if the team have managed to win the match somehow.

Do you really think that the Kiwis batted poorly? Remember that it was a dust bowl and spinners were having an undue advantage. On top of that, India had some of the best spinners in the world right now in their playing XI (Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja). Despite all this, New Zealand managed 235 in their first innings, with Will Young and Daryl Mitchell both getting half-centuries. And in the second innings it was the turn of Will Young to take the Kiwis to a respectable total.

I would like to say that in all the few test matches that the New Zealand team has played against India, they have performed consistently i.e. they have batted and bowled well. If we say that the New Zealand cricket team may have taken advantage of the spin bowlers against India, we should also remember that India also has the best spin bowlers. In fact, it is not possible to win a match only depending on the bowlers, the batsmen also have to perform well overall, only then it is possible to win in any match.

India need to learn from the mistakes they made against New Zealand and improve themselves so that they can perform well in the next matches.
