Bumrah is a good bowler and there should be youngester in the team which will be the captain of the team . They should give chance the players who are too young. Rohit Sharma should retire from ODI and test because there should be change in the Indian cricket because we saw the last matches performance of Indian team which is very bad againt Australia team .

Australian team is best team of the world and they proved in last few matches.Indian team play good in the India and when India team is out of the country they struggled in the foreign countries. Indian team should give their best try against Australia because Australia is not like PAk and Sri Lanka and their players are highly professionals.

There is a simple reason why Australia has the most number of trophies in any of the ICC competitions. The players are selfless and the team bonding is extremely strong. On the other hand, look at the Indian team. There is one gang led by Rohit and Kohli, and another led by Dhoni loyalists such as Jadeja. Then there are several smaller gangs, such as the ones by Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer. The team selection is made on the basis of achieving the equilibrium between different gangs, rather than going for the best player.

Are you sure that there are grouping in the Indian Squad ? The era of Ms Dhoni was very successful one while the current era of Virat / Sharma is also good one for the Indian team. If there were politics in the India team, then they would not have been so much successful.

Also I think Australia has won most ICC trophies as they were world champions (ODI) for three consecutive times and at that time India were not so powerful team as they are these days.

It is true that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have lost their charisma at present. On the other hand, considering the current bad state of Indian cricket, Indian cricket needs to be reformed very soon. So that the Indian cricket team can always stand tall in the cricket world. In my opinion, the Indian cricket team needs young players instead of old players. I think the young players will be able to change the image of Indian cricket.
Time has come for these two to retire from test format. Not only they are not scoring runs, but also they are preventing more promising younger players from finding a place in the playing XI. Abhimanyu Easwaran was included in the squad for the BGT, but he is yet to make his debut for India as the legacy players can't be dropped. There are other promising players as well, such as Dhruv Jurel, Sai Sudharsan, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devdutt Padikkal. At the same time, Australia is experimenting with plenty of young players, such as Sam Konstas and Nathan McSweeney.   
Rohit Sharma will be 38 in few months and Virat Kohli is already 36 with their age and performance level they needed to give up for youngsters but having permanent spot into Indian team is always honour with no player wants to announce about his retirement until he faces consequences same happening in case of these legendary players because they needed to announce about this as soon as possible.

We have sudden announcement from R Ashwin which is criticized but right decision even he was also having huge financial incentive just because of part of Team India same happening for these both players so they don't want to lose this, but now it's time to have something clear and play just for IPL is surely better deal for them instead of having things like these which are going around them.

According to Cricbuzz, Travis Head has suffered a groin injury, and his participation in the next Test is uncertain. Travis Head is the headache for India. If he does not play in the next match, India won't have to face this guy! I hope Jaiswal will find himself as well.

Yes, Travis head not playing in the next match can be a bonus for the Indian team however it is still the Indian batsmen who have to perform if India are to win the matches.

In some of the previous games of India across ODI and the test matches in which Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli played, I did not see a good and wonderful game by them. Both are not in the best of form. Two test matches are left here and the biggest event Champions Trophy is on the head in which they need to perform too. Maybe after 2027 they will retire from all formats and we will never see them again and will miss these legends.

2027 is a long way ahead for Rohit Sharma, I doubt he will last long after this series if he failed to perform atleast decently cause lot of talented Indian cricketers are waiting in the queue but the only thing in their way is the star player status which can only hold the position for certain period.

Already there are talks in the Indian former cricketer about missing the fire power after the first match which they implies Bumrah to lead for the series even if Rohit back into the squad.

^^ Poor kid faced Peak Bumrah on a spicy pitch and had to empty a slot for another guy and possibly on easy decks. 

On second thought, he wasn't an opener but a middle order batter so one can make a case for his exclusion.

Nathan McSweeney is apparently devastated over his omission from the squad, while the 19-year old Sam Konstas seems to be ecstatic. I am a bit sympathetic towards McSweeney. Hardly anyone in the Australian squad apart from Travis Head have scored runs consistently so far in this series, and I believe that McSweeney has been made some sort of a scapegoat. Why is Usman Khawaja still in the squad? When was the last time he scored a half-century in tests? BTW, Marnus Labuschagne is also not in great form.

Some weird stuff is currently ongoing between the Indian cricket team and the Australian media. Heard that Jadeja and the Aussies had a difference of opinions regarding language due to which a match between background teams was cancelled.

Wonder what actually happened since two sides to the story were reported. Bad stuff right before Christmas and New Year for both teams.

Till the very end, Australia had an advantage. But when Bumrah and company destroyed the Australians in second innings and had them struggling at 89/7, that advantage vanished. The next match will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and the Aussie batsmen have no idea on how to face Jasprit Bumrah. At the moment, Bumrah has taken a total of 21 wickets in three matches, at an average of 10.90.
Actually, you aren't looking at the big picture here. Australia was going in for the kill which is why they were trying to score a small score to add to the target as quickly as possible which is what exactly happened.

They probably didn't mind their wickets falling quickly since the target looked good, but it was all in vain ultimately. This is why it's 50:50 for both teams going into the 4th test.

BGT currently hanging in balance with both teams are on level Boxing Day test match is going to be important, but now I am feeling Australia is going with advantage because their batting is doing good, and bowling attack is also balanced but Indian batting struggling and now bowling is also having problems even few are talking they have enough replacements but Jasprit Bumrah alone is not capable of winning test matches.

Indian team needs few changes in bowling then having some improvement in batting can bring things back into control because if they fail surely it's going to be against them sometime decisions like Ashwin had brought negativity in teams confidence and players moral also gone badly down because things like these are now not good specially while you have opponent like Australia.

I would disagree. IMO, either India is having the upper hand, or both the teams are having equal advantage. Till the very end, Australia had an advantage. But when Bumrah and company destroyed the Australians in second innings and had them struggling at 89/7, that advantage vanished. The next match will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and the Aussie batsmen have no idea on how to face Jasprit Bumrah.

Indian team has done well in recent Test series against Australia. They have won one game lost one game and tied one game so  series is very close. Even though India batsmen have not been playing well, I think that when they start playing well again they will score a lot of runs. It is just matter of time before they start playing better and when they do India will have better chance of winning. Team ability to adjust to problems and keep trying will be very important in remaining games and I hope they will play even better.

Just as the Indian team has performed well in the past, the Indian team is also performing well or giving good results in the present. Moreover, in the recent Test series they are playing against Australia, they may not have performed in such a way that we can mention it as a very bad performance. So far these two teams have played a total of three Test matches against each other. Out of those three matches, India won the first match, Australia won the second match and the third match was a draw.

But India's batting line-up has been performing poorly in this series, their team players are not in form at all. Whenever these experienced Indian batsmen return to form, they will be able to score a lot of runs.

Somehow I agreed it's not going to have any impact on series but as mentioned Indian team is going to miss the services of R Ashwin in Melbourne and Sydney even have good all-rounders, but they still not perform like we have this legendary spin bowler here in these matches for me this is going to have serious problem even now they missed chance of having another win on Australian soil just because of Ashwin this dubious decision.

Now it's good time for the Indian team and management to talk with players and have few things just like we have in SENA teams if they are going to leave or having retirement they needed to announce about this before having things because this is surely manageable, and they can do better things for the future having sudden announcements like these are never been obliged in future with this now for me chances for win in series and having chance of WTC final almost ended.
I see your point that R Ashwin retirement might not change series result much. But his absence in Melbourne and Sydney will be noticeable because India other players even though they are good can not bowl spin as well as Ashwin. This decision might have stopped India from winning important game in Australia. Indian team management should now make sure to talk openly with players about their plans to retire. This would help them plan better for future like teams in other countries do. When players suddenly retire it can cause problems and I think India chances of winning series and making it to WTC final have gotten much smaller.
I agree with you. Indian team is losing the matches but luckily Indian team because they  became successful to draw last match but in the next match rain will not help Indian team, So they should try to win next match and they should improve their performance in bowling and batting as well . Indian team is not playing well in the outside from their country because they like to play in India but they should be ready for every kind of situation and Australian team is top team of the World and we will see the WTC cup and these team will be in the front of each other but Indian team have to make strong their batting and bowling in which they are lacking but they are repeating the same mistakes.

We know that Indian International test cricket team is one of the best team of the World and Australian test cricket team is also best team of the World. But we didn't expect that kind of poor quality performance by Indian team because in the past Indian team gave brilliant result in test matches and in the home grounds Indian team played well but we can say that Indian players are Lions on their own ground but in the foreign countries they are are dominant team .

Australian team caught Indian batters very well and all World is watching the drama of Indian cricket team.Indian team should work on the batting performance because they need improvement in the mindset because they are not playing on their home ground and they should try to make big partnership and if they make good partnership then India could win next match but most chances that India will lose this series.
Just as the Indian team has performed well in the past, the Indian team is also performing well or giving good results in the present. Moreover, in the recent Test series they are playing against Australia, they may not have performed in such a way that we can mention it as a very bad performance.

Even if nothing changes with R Ashwin retirement but still i think that there should be SOPs for everything including retirement. It is never good to retire right in the middle of the tour and disturb the team plan. Unless there is something very urgent, R Ashwin could have waited for the series to end or if he knew he could not play the full series, he could have taken the retirement before the Aussie series  Huh

Why i am saying there should be some standard procedures for the retirement too, otherwise someday you may see a player retiring, lets say on the 2nd day of the test match  Cheesy
This has to be some of the dumbest shit that I have ever heard of in my entire life. Are you seriously blaming a legend like Ashwin for retiring out of the blue when most people didn't want him to retire?

He is one of the greatest spinners and all-rounders in this beautiful sport and has served his country really, really well. Think!

I think you have misunderstood me. Where did i told that anything about the Ashwin performance? I know he is a legend and if we talk about the spinners, then after Anil Kumble he has the most test wickets for the India team. That is indeed an honor for him. Infact he took 537 tickets in the test matches and he played 106 tests for the Indian team.

Why you are blaming Ashwin? For the last few years, he was always sidelined and ignored by the selectors. On top of that, the Kohli-Rohit axis always created issues for him while he was in the squad. In the end, he decided that enough was enough. What is the point in having a permanent slot in the playing XI for a low quality player such as Mohammed Siraj, while Ashwin being kept at the bench most of the time? At this point, there is no connection between selection probability and performance in the Indian team.
