India vs Australia Test Series 2017: What's happening to India???

What’s going on???

Cannot remember the last time India were bowled out for under 200 runs in three successive innings at home!!

**First Test, Pune
**1st Test: India v Australia at Pune, Feb 23-25, 2017 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Out of nowhere O’Keefe emerges to take 12 for 70 in the match. He wasn’t even a part of the team that recently played against Pakistan.

Second Test, Bengalaru
**AUS 40/0 (16.0 ov, DA Warner 23*, MT Renshaw 15*, R Ashwin 0/11) - Stumps | Live Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Lyon’s 8-fer (8 for 50) floors India again. Never thought he was that good a spinner.

Have India taken Australia lightly?

The irony is, before the Pak series Australia lost to South Africa 1-2 at home, their third successive loss at home.

South Africa in turn were comprehensively beaten in a four test series, 0-3 (the drawn game was ruined by rain!) in India in 2015. They were even struggling to score 200 in an innings, their highest score being 215 and lowest being 79!

This Aussie team has performed way better than them in India so far.

And I never considered Lyon as a miraculous out-of-the-world bowler. But this figure is like mind-boggling. And some people are saying he is better than shane warne. Ofcourse I disagree but nevertheless he has done great today.

So far Indian Cricket Equation is

Kohli scores = team win

Kohli dont score = team loose

Re: India vs Australia Test Series 2017: What’s happening to India???

Seems that Australia’s honeymoon in India is finally over.

Pujara and Ashwin fashion a remarkable comeback by India

The pitches are a nightmare for batsmen; both sides have yet to cross 300 in four innings

Now momentum is with India

While Kohli’s behaviour at times does exceed acceptable limits of aggression, it is funny to see an Australian crying about sledging now

Re: India vs Australia Test Series 2017: What’s happening to India???

Smith looked to the dressing room for help during a DRS LBW decision against him. That is simply cheating. Kohli stated he had told the umpires about Smith doing this earlier a COUPLE of times.

When this hallened, an Aussie commentator made an excuse - stating Smith may not have known the rules! And Ian Healy stated he lost respect for Kohli. All Kohli did was to bring Smiths cheating to the umpires attention.

Needless to say, the Match referee Broad from England didn’t find anything to punish Smith. The two umpires and 3rd umpire also from England.

Imagine if a sub continent or west indian player had resorted to tbis cheating.

Need to eliminate institutionalized discrimination from cricket.

When india plays other countfies, for the most part things are peaceful. Aussies can dish it out. And whine when someone sledges them.
