Sri Lanka have lost just 3 wickets. And Sri Lanka have managed to collect a big score of 242 by losing 3 wickets. So it can be expected that Sri Lanka will be able to collect more than 450 in their first innings. Because on this pitch, South African bowlers are not able to make any advantage.

We were proved wrong. We thought it won't be hard for Sri Lanka to score more than 450 runs. But the African bowlers did an amazing job. As I said in my previous posts, it's not like South african bowlers cannot do anything. They have a good bowling line up and they can take all the wickets in a single session. Credit to Dane Paterson who took five wickets and did not let Sri Lanka to take lead.

South Africans lose four wickets already and have a 283 runs lead and it is the first session of day four. If they play the remaining two sessions, I hope they will be able to take a lead of 450 which will be enough to win the match. Meanwhile, South africa lose another wicket while I was writing.

Temba Bavuma is in excellent form

Although Sri Lanka's top order played well, the middle order and lower order batsmen could not bat well. That is why Sri Lanka's innings stopped at 328 runs. South Africa was able to take a lead of 30 runs. The way Sri Lanka started their innings, many of us thought that Sri Lanka would collect 400+ very easily. But Sri Lanka's batsmen failed to bat responsibly.

South Africa is not able to play very well in the second innings. Before the lunch break, South Africa managed to collect 282 runs and lost 8 wickets. It is likely that South Africa will lose all its wickets before collecting 300 runs. Even if the target of 320+ is given, it will be enough to win if the South African bowlers are able to bowl in a controlled manner from the beginning of the innings.

After winning the first match, the Indian team was being so much confident for the second test match and showed aggression but they forgot that they were playing against Australia, the team who dominated them two times in ICC recent tournament since last 2 to 3 years.

Travis Head was named as the player of the match and he deserved to be because to score 140 is not easy for any batsman. In the second innings, Australia just had to make 19 runs to win and they chased it, such an easy win for them in the second test match.

From the first innings of India, Australia was stronger as when India came to bat for the first time they were just able to score 180, that is I don't think is a good target. While chasing it Australia scored 337 and got the lead of many runs. Then when India came to bat again and with effort from Nitish Kumar Reddy (42 runs) they were able to make 175 runs. Don't know why there were in a hurry to score runs ? Clearly there was no planning in the Indian camp.

Australia chased the target without losing even a single wicket. The target was nothing but still Nathan McSweeney and Usman Khawaja did not lose thier wickets and after 3.2 overs they were the winners.

1st inning: 44.1 overs/all out and 2nd inning: 36.5 overs/ all out. You don't deserve to win when your team can't even bat for 100 overs in 2 innings.

For some reason, intent merchants led by Rohit are not keen to face enough balls and only looking to score at a faster rate. In both India's innings, RR was well over 4 RPO. On flat decks, it works but when the pitch has enough spice for bowlers then you as a batter do the hard yards and then bring your aggressive mindset, it's 5-day test cricket not T-20 or ODI.

Indeed. India played way too aggressive, no batter tried to stay on crease, everyone tried to hit bowls that should have been left alone. KL that was seen in first match was not found in second test either.

You look at first match lineup and second match, second match's lineup is better in every way, yet India wins the first and loses the second.

If Shami comes back in third test, it should be Siraj that should be benched. Way too much of attitude for skills, and those who are actually skilled don't show that much of aggression (Starc, Bumrah).

This match literally ended in two days, I feel sad about my entertainment more so, lol.

India could not play as well as they did in the 1st Test against Australia in the 2nd Test. That is why their winning provability of in the 2nd Test is very low while the Australian team is doing well. Indian batting is quite reliable and the remaining players have enough ability to lift the team from this situation. But there is a question whether they will be able to show that ability or not. At the moment, both Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rishabh Pant are batting well and both of them will have to play for a long time. Both of them will have to show exceptional performance at the moment otherwise there is no possibility of winning this match. Some unexpected things happen in cricket which no one imagined. If India is able to do that tomorrow, that will be promising. As this is a 5-match Test series, Australia will definitely win the 2nd Test match.

Disastrous performance from India during the last 50 minutes or so.

Sadly, India lost the second test match. Now again the whole nation will be against Rohit Sharma. They will hate him for the team’s loss. But deep down we know that this is a collective game, and everyone has failed in the batting. We need to also praise the Aussie bowlers. They did great bowling, for which they were able to restrict the Indian batters. Was the inclusion of Ashwin over Washi a good choice? Washington could have added more batting depth to the team, according to me.

Rohit Sharma did not play well. But did Virat Kohli play well? These two are the most experienced and talented players in the Indian squad. But India did not get a good performance from these two in this match. I will not blame Rohit Sharma alone. Every batsman in the Indian squad is responsible for India's defeat. The batsmen batted very badly in this match. India scored only 180 runs in the first innings. In the second innings, they scored only 175 runs. Shubman Gill and Nitish Reddy batted a little better. But it was not enough.

Every batsman in the Indian squad is very talented. There is no doubt about it. Even then, the reason why Indian batsmen cannot bat well against Australian bowlers needs to be found. And I would say that the Indian team management should make changes in the squad. Batsmen who are consistently failing to play well cannot be given too many opportunities.

Epic comeback by the Aussies in their own backyard. The result could have been different if India could have removed Head a whole lot earlier. Kohli is easily a better captain than Rohit in the test format.

Also, South Africa almost sealed their test too thanks to Bavuma who is on a crazy high these days. 3 one sided tests basically(Aus, SA, Eng).

I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹

South Africa are batting in the second innings and they have been able to bat well, after winning the first Test match brilliantly, they are playing endlessly to get to the verge of victory in the second Test as well. Today, South Africa has lost only four wickets while batting and the way they are scoring runs, they have a plan to score more runs than in the first innings. Since we have seen that the Sri Lankan team was able to bat well, if South Africa has to win the series in today's match, they will have to bat very well and give a huge lead. Already, the South African team has been able to give a lead of 248 runs, they still have enough wickets in hand, so if they play well, they can give a lead of 350+ runs. If the partnership of these two David Bedingham and Temba Bavuma can survive, then South Africa will definitely be able to give a big lead to Sri Lanka.

I agree that putting all the blame solely on Rohit is not very fair. That said, he is not in the best of form for the last 5-6 months or so. IMO, Jasprit Bumrah was the only Indian player who met the expectations. None of the others got their act right. But then, for how long India is going to be dependent on Bumrah? He had his fair share of injury troubles in recent times. For starters, I would like the selectors to kick out Mohammed Siraj from the playing XI. He bowls like shit, and behaves like a monkey on the ground.

Your prediction was right, hosts Australia beat India by 10 wickets in the second test match. In the second test match India's poor batting performance may have shocked everyone. After losing to India in the first Test, Australia made a great comeback in the second Test and defeated the mighty India by a huge margin. Watching the batting of the Indian batsmen in the first and second innings of the second Test match, it was surprising that they could not score more than 200 runs in any of the innings. Although the Indian batting line-up is very strong, they could not show their strong batting in the second Test match against Australia.

I was very disappointed with India's batting. In the last few Test matches, we have seen that India batted poorly in the first innings, but batted well in the second innings and were able to give a big target. In the first Test match against Australia, we also saw that India was able to score a big total in the second innings. And that is why India won the first match.

But in the second Test match, the Indian batsmen batted very poorly. India scored only 180 runs in the first innings. Their batting was even weaker in the second innings. India lost 9 wickets for 166 runs. Nitish Kumar Reddy scored the highest 42 runs. Apart from that, no other batsman could bat well. Pat Cummins took 5 wickets.

The Indian team was able to take a lead of only 9 runs. Even if they gave a target of at least 100-150 runs, perhaps the Indian bowlers could have made the match competitive. It is difficult to accept such a poor performance from India's strong squad.

Disastrous performance from India during the last 50 minutes or so. They lost 3 more wickets and they are still trailing by 2 runs with just 2 wickets in hand. Eventually, Australia may be asked to bat twice and India may therefore avoid innings defeat. But overall, this was a pathetic performance, from both the batsmen and bowlers for India. They failed to make a total of 200 in each of their innings, and then all bowlers except Jasprit Bumrah were wayward as well as expensive.

Australia batted well on the second day, the way they scored runs was really great. Australia has lost 7 wickets at the moment, but India has managed to achieve the target and give a big lead. Australia has only three wickets left at the moment, so they will be all out, but if Australia can give India a lead of 200 runs in the end, it will be very difficult for India. Australia must bat well at the moment to give a big lead, Australia has given India a lead of 135 runs at the moment, but they will try to give a bigger lead.

India were in trouble from the start of second test match as we have amazing Mitchel Starc took 6 wickets now we are having troubling start of their second inning even we have some decent bowling but 52 for 2 is looking not good Rahul and Jaiswal both gone right now we have Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli on crease they needed to be have spent time and give good partnership to team for reducing lead of Australia which is currently still stand on 100 runs.

Travis Head is surely hero for the Australia as his impressive inning help them for having good lead and control in this second test match after losing first badly at the Perth.

At the end of day 2, india scored 128 runs in a loss of 5 wickets. India trails by 29 runs. After that they will start to lead. Rishabh Pant is the only hope for India. If they play a responsible inning then India sets a decent target otherwise, there is no chance of India getting back in this match. Australia needs the crucial wicket of Rishabh Pan. From Australia Travis Head played an outstanding inning scored 140 runs from just 141 balls and helped Australia score a huge total in the first inning of a second test match. I think Australia all out indian team under 200 runs and a small target of approximately 50 runs will easily chase it. Australia is winning this match maybe with ten wickets and level the series with 1-1.

In the first match, we saw that India was able to bat very well in the second innings and gave a big target. Especially every batsman in the top order was able to bat well. But I don't see any possibility of India winning the second match. India scored only 180 runs in the first innings. At the end of the second day in the second innings, India lost 5 wickets and scored only 128 runs. India is still 29 runs behind Australia. It is very unlikely that India will give a big target. Even giving a target of 100 runs is difficult for India.

It will be very difficult for India to win this Test. Indian batsmen did not bat well in the first innings and did not bat well in the second innings either. India's top order batsmen have all failed. So far India have scored 128 runs in the 2nd innings losing 5 wickets. Losing 5 important wickets, India is under pressure at the moment. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rishabh Pant are in batting now if they both can bat well with patience then their score will be a little bigger. Looking at the performance of the Indian batsmen, it seems doubtful that they will be able to score 200 plus runs. Australia has more chances to win this match. If Australia wins this match, the series will be tied 1-1. Now let's see how many runs India can give the target.

I don't see any chance for New Zealand to make a comeback. New Zealand is definitely going to lose this match. We saw New Zealand's defeat in the first match as well. And it can be said for sure that New Zealand is going to lose by a big margin in the second match as well.

At the end of the first innings, England has managed to take a big lead of 155 runs. In the second innings, New Zealand's bowlers are not able to make any advantage. New Zealand's bowlers have barely managed to take 5 wickets. England has scored 378 runs. And at the moment, England is leading by a big margin of 533 runs. England will give a target of at least 600 runs in this match. New Zealand's batsmen are also not in good form. So, batting at such a big target, New Zealand will definitely lose by a big margin.

It is certain that England is going to win this match. New Zealand batted very badly in the first innings. However, if New Zealand bowlers had been able to bowl under control in the second innings, then the match would have been competitive. But New Zealand bowlers were not able to bowl well. Tim Southee and Matt Henry took two wickets each. However, each gave away a lot of runs. England have made a huge total of 378 in just 5 overs. It is unlikely that New Zealand will win the target of 600 runs. England are leading by 533 runs at the end of the second day.

Australia has only three wickets left at the moment, so they will be all out, but if Australia can give India a lead of 200 runs in the end, it will be very difficult for India. Australia must bat well at the moment to give a big lead, Australia has given India a lead of 135 runs at the moment, but they will try to give a bigger lead.

Australia is a strong and fast playing team due to which they have scored as many runs in the first innings as India have in both innings. India bowling and batting are both weak due to which they are not able to face Australia. They should target more strongly in the second innings because the more they target, the better their bowling will be and they will be able to control Australia. But whichever way you take this game Australia has won this match. So India had to play well in the first innings. Australia bowling and batting were also very strong due to which they scored 337 runs in the first innings itself. It has become very difficult for India to win this match.

South Africa's player's have performed brilliantly in the second innings in which their batsmen have lost only 3 wickets in 47 overs so far due to their good effort and their batsmen have scored 162 runs. If you look at their first innings, their batsmen have scored 358 runs. If they give as much target in the second innings as they did in the first innings, then the game can be tough for Sri Lanka because their player's scored low 328 runs in the first innings. Due to which the game is very impressive and interesting. If the Sri Lankan batsmen fail to score the same number of runs in the second innings, South Africa will win the match. Sri Lanka's bowling and South Africa's batting are almost as slow as both are not taking advantage of each other. But I think South Africa will be able to give Sri Lanka a big target.

To be honest, I did not think that South Africa would take the lead in the first innings. Every batsman in the top order of Sri Lanka batted very responsibly. Sri Lanka lost their fourth batsman for 261 runs. The top order batsmen batted very well. However, after the loss of the fourth wicket, no other batsman could stay at the crease for long. And Sri Lanka lost all their wickets after scoring just 67 runs. If the lower order batsmen had batted a little better, this match would have been more competitive.
