How the table turns... if you think about it then this whole situation is quite hilarious from both sides. Grin

Few years back Australian media/ Experts / Almost everyone used to say that Indians are scared to play in the Australia but now every one says that they are scared to play in the certain ground. People forget that they are still playing in Australia's home turf be it Gabba, Adelaide, Melbourne or Sydney.

BTW, is anyone going to argue, if I claim that New Zealand is having the best pace bowling lineup right now?

No argument when i look at Boult, Southee, Wagner stats

Sri Lanka in a lot of trouble against South Africa. They are at 98/6, with Wiaan Mulder and Anrich Nortje having picked up three wickets each. Mulder is just 22 years old and if New Zealand or England can convince him to get a passport with them, then he is going to be such a good asset for them. I wasn't expecting much from Sri Lanka anyway.. so not much surprised.

BTW, is anyone going to argue, if I claim that New Zealand is having the best pace bowling lineup right now? Kyle Jamieson is playing his 6th test match, and so far he has picked up 30 wickets at an average of 14.33. And they have enough depth in their squad, with bowlers such as Neil Wagner, Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry.

That's why i am not following this series and also not the srilanka/ south africa one (Srilanka are 5 down for only 88 in the 2nd test). The only series which is interesting at the moment is India Australia one and third test will start on Jan 7. However there are some doubts that indian team may refuse to go to Brisbane to play the test.

The doubt is regarding the 4th Test and it is highly unlikely India will be travelling to Brisbane as they do not want to undergo hard quarantine once again and CA have to find a solution for that but it will not help Australia as their players want the final Test to be in Brisbane as it is their favorite hunting ground while i am sure the Indian team will avoid going as they have a poor record if i remember correctly and they will use the quarantine as an excuse Cheesy

.

Isn't it a childish approach by the Indians to avoid the defeat because of the bad record history in Brisbane. Even if you have zero winning record in a certain ground, you can still win the match because every day is a new day. Look like its a superstition approach by the Indian team.

This is more sort of a drama by the Indian team. If you look at the history, the indian team has never won a test at the Gabba so its obvious they don't want to go there and lose the test match. I don't think this has anything to do with strict lockdown.

NZ is again on top in the 2nd test at christchurch and it seems they will bowl out pakistan under 300 today. Kyle Jamieson bowled a nice spell and took 5 wickets while Southee took 2 wickets. NZ can easily white wash the series with 2-0 win.

The whole series was one-sided. So far Pakistan has not won a single match. In the previous Test match, they could not reach 300 runs in any innings. I hope this match they will not be able to make 300 in any innings.
Their first innings is over, and they have lost all their wickets for 297 runs. I hope NZ will win this match easily.

They might get bundle up before reaching 300 mark but it was excellent batting performance from Pakistani batmen on green pitch, considering Babar is not playing and they still manage to reach respectable total.

Azhar Ali and Mohammad Rizwan are the sole players that played well and the tail end supported them to reach 297 runs, the openers are struggling while playing in green turf and they need to find a good opening pair to be competitive and what happened to Babar Azam as he is the best player in the side.

Kyle Jamieson was the standout bowler and it looks like he was the find of the season for New Zealand as a second change bowler and with his huge frame he is troubling the batsman with his awkward length.

They are collapsing here n there but overall their batters doing excellent job when comparing with India. I remember Kiwis literally demolished Indian batting line up. For Indians Kyle Jamieson was another avatar of Sam Curran.

Can't you wait for few days before announcing the results ? The match is not in anyone favor as yet. Who knows if NZ batsmen also get out quickly tomorrow ?

Back to back boundaries, only 7 runs needed to touch 300

All out on 297, can't reach the psychological figure of 300.

About Kyle Jamieson its nothing new mostly standout bowlers or reserved damaged Pakistani batting in history as well but currently I am happy now batting is some improving after arrival of Younas Khan as batting coach hopefully in future we will have some more good from these guys but few issues still hanging around due to poor selection from selectors they never going with merit which is very serious issue now sudden retirment from Muhammad Aamir is also creating serious talks about selection and management hopefully we will able to have some good news about merit policy if they want to improve Pakistan cricket.

Yeah, Melbourne was better choice and now Indian team also don't want to play in Queensland due to new restrictions and its hard to disagree as it tough to go in bubble again for 14 days.

Indian team not keen on travelling to Brisbane for fourth Test

Quote

The visitors have been very clear since arriving in Australia that once they were done with their initial 14-day quarantine at the start of the tour, they be treated as anyone else around Australia in terms of freedom of movement. And with fears now that they would be back in a less porous bubble which is likely to see their travel being limited from hotel to stadium to back upon reaching Brisbane, via Sydney, the Indians are keener to stay away.

"If you look at it, we were quarantining for 14 days in Dubai before landing in Sydney and doing so for another 14 days. That means we were in a hard bubble for nearly a month before coming out. What we don't want now is to quarantine again at the end of the tour," a source in the Indian team told Cricbuzz.

Follow up

Aussie don't like the idea of playing back 2 back game in Sydney, well you can't blame them as Gabba is strong hold for Australia and Graveyard for Indian team.

We prefer not to play back-to-back Tests in Sydney: Wade

News coming out that Rohit, Pant, Gill, Shaw and Saini are in quarantine as they broke some bio bubble protocols. They were allowed to go outside though but some fans spotted them, one fan even paid their bill.

Its not good to hear this news. I still think that they should of just played the third test match in Melbourne but now with the virus growing in NSW and now here in Victoria it is making it hard for the series to go on as borders are now shut to NSW and Queensland have shut their borders to NSW so after this test match in Sydney I don't know what they are going to do about the fourth test match which is meant to be played in Brisbane. The ACB have some big decisions to make right now.

Yeah, Melbourne was better choice and now Indian team also don't want to play in Queensland due to new restrictions and its hard to disagree as it tough to go in bubble again for 14 days.

One of the fans (Navdeep Singh) claimed that Rishabh Pant hugged him, after it was revealed that he had paid the bill. He quickly deleted the tweet after a few minutes of posting it, but Cricket Australia and the Australian government is looking in to it very seriously. Quarantine breaches put a lot of trouble for the Pakistani team, while they were visiting New Zealand. Visiting teams need to understand that the governments take these restrictions very seriously.

It all depends now on the Australian government, these guys would be punished for sure but what kind of punishment has to be decided. This same incident in NZ created a lot of problem and embarrassment for pakistan board.

In the meantime Sourav Ganguly went through an emergency heart surgery and doing fine.

Of course Rohit is going to replace Mayank Agarwal for sure because in both the matches shaw and Agarwal didn't give a good start to their innings which bring the struggle in real quick for other batsmen so having an experienced opener will solve a lot of problems in the middle order batsmen if they did then all the three departments of the Indian team will look too strong.

Rohit Sharma is not a regular opener in Test matches even though he is the regular openers in T20 and ODI and playing against moving balls will cause some issues as Rohit Sharma is not playing for a while and he was injured even during the IPL.

Quote from: SaShiRaJaVu on January 02, 2021, 06:34:48 PM

~So what happens if they are quarantined and how many days they will be kept under observation and in normal circumstances it is one week and with that the situation, is it possible for them to play the next match and if not it will be a huge setback as Gill will be the player that will be missing from the team and who will be replacing him.

They are in isolation with the rest of the team but they are allowed to practice separately and there are no reports regarding them missing the next match and no confirmation from the BCCI either regarding the situation.
