With Smith and Warner... Without half our team. This will go down as a legendary series win.

As for aus... it’s the bowling really that has to be examined. Cummins aside, it’s been rubbish almost all series.
Its the whole team that needs to be examined.

Burns got selected with zero form because Langer likes him
Wade opened when he is not an opener
The team needs Smith and Labs to get runs or else small totals
Starc is out of form
Lyon is close to being done
Panie has probably had the worst series by an Aussie captain in a long time
Bowling plans have been crap.

its frustrating to see as an Australian has they never bothered to make changes.

Greatest ever. In a daze. Can’t believe what we’ve seen. So many days waking up at 5am.

With the notable exception of one asshole in here... congrats to you Indian fans. A quite unbelievable win against a near full strength Aus outfit. Pretty disappointing for us here but I love that India had the guts to go for it. Pretty courageous given a draw would have amounted to the same as a win.

That's why I enjoy beating you lot, cos you're such a shit bloke.

Go and cry :lol:

Full credit must go to India though, fantastic depth and never gave up.

Would Rahane get the Test captaincy gig full time?

India are going to smash us in India but that series in England should be a cracker.

An Indian win was the least likely outcome at the start of day today.. Aus managed the game very poorly. let this inexperienced Indian batting control the pace.. Pujara did his bit holding an end down.. Gill, Pant .. timed it beautifully.

Will never happen even though he's a better captain than Kohli (and so is Rohit in ODIs). We are a country of hero worshippers

There was 1% chace given for Indian win. Warne was going about crack for two days. Take that..

I though we would get white washed after the first test and Kohli leaving.
My sport watching life has peaked. What a moment. 15 years of watching test cricket. Nothing like this. There is a few here who’ve been watching as long or longer and posting, would know what it feels like.

Shock, the scum bag appears after a win. Have you no grace?

See, the difference is you genuinely are a shit bloke. Aggressive, smarmy, sanctimonious, yet frustratingly not smart enough to offer anything approaching an insightful opinion. It’s entirely you I’ve got a vendetta against, not a cricket team.

Incredible win for India! Pant what an innings.
Paine should be sacked as Aussie captain.

Yeah, agree with all points. I’m hopeful that Pucovski can address the hole in our top order, but I’m not sure Green is good enough with the ball to cement his place. It’s a fecking shame, as this team has great potential

Just hope Pujara's contribution to the chase is appreciated more. He tired the shit out of their bowlers

Green is still on load management until his back is 100%

But Pucovski will be the opener that we have been crying out for, Need to drop Starc for Pattinson or Jye Richardson.

Do you think I’m so fickle as to be irked by this? We lost to a better team, I’m actually quite delighted there was a result - any result. I’m as impressed by India this test as I am certain that you’re a graceless feckwit. If that constitutes crying then I assure you, buddy, that I am in hysterics.

Haha. Very true. He couldn't get himself to acknowledge that the 3rd string Indian bowling attack was able to swing the ball better than the aussies.

Yeah, couldn’t agree more re Pattinson and Richardson.
The next issue is replacing Lyon...

All of your last five-six posts have been continously abusing me. You genuinely should calm down.

Look, you're both shit blokes. Leave it out of the thread.

It should be, but it won't. Without Pujara quite likely we lose this series 2-1.

The problem is that the Aussies don’t have a 5th bowler who can take on workload to give other bowlers a test. Green did well with the bat but no great with the ball. If they had a 5th bowlers, the others could be rested and come back with sharper spells.
