Does watching a slow motion replay not count as "using the technology"? Surely the clear evidence presented to the eyes is more reliable than the arbitrary evidence provided to the ears
lol you can’t “did back” to someone by beating them at YOUR home. If Australia did this in idk Mumbai or Chennai or something then cool but Australia beating India in Australia should be default result from Australia’s POV
No. This is nothing like that. Brisbane was a come from behind win for Ind. No one gave Ind a legit shot until hey actually did it. Here, Aus has been in front pretty much every day in the series since the Perth test. Ind have just about kept themselves in the scheme of things. Even without Lyon, they were already over 250 ahead and that probably would have been enough even then.
GG at The G, beautifully described by The FWCP. I get the feeling that Rishabh Pant is someone you wouldn't want too close to a big red button with "DON'T PRESS!" written on it. Which bowler needs to be sacrificed for the batting woes this time?
Gavaskar after the game said the deviation with Jaiswal's dismissal may have been an optical illusion and noone challenged him...Embarrassing stuff from Channel 7
@chrismead5751 there's a very easy way to politely push back against someone. It's what makes sports commentary relevant. If people are too scared to speak up against Gavaskar then that's a bit sad
@@woopimagpieBut their kids or their kid's kids will probably support Australia. At least in a still successful and functioning multicultral country that should happen.
Washington Sundar sealed their fate when he didn’t do nearly enough to farm the strike at the end instead leaving Bumrah and Siraj to be burned alive at the stake. They may have still lost when the new ball came but their demise was sealed
100%. It was quite ridiculous that he was not even attempting to take a single. He doesn't take the single and Bumrah gets out, and he still doesn't learn and lets Siraj front up. Doubt if they would have lasted the new ball but approach didn't show a lot of sense. Not to mention Bumrah having no idea where his off stump is and getting out repeatedly playing a ball at 6th stump, but he is a bowler and it is to be expected I guess.
Great stuff guys as usual, and Geoff loved you Guardian commentary. I am happy to be viewed as a cricket dullard forever from watching test cricket, what a game.
That LBW decision annoyed the crap out of me. The rules around DRS reviews for LBW are a joke because they are so inconsistent. It is already bad enough that the one ball can have two different review results depending on the initial decision by the central umpire, but the decision against Starc with the rejected Jaiwal LBW is a complete joke. Half the ball has to hit the stump, but for some reason the bails are not factored into that decision because they sit higher than the stumps even though the bails form part of the wicket and at least one has to be dislodged for bowled and run out decisions. If an "out" decision for LBW is reviewed by the batter and the ball is just nicking the very top of the bail, the LBW stands because the bails are factored into the decision, but when the bowler reviews a not out decision they aren't factored in. Make sense out of that if you can. The ICC needs to review everything about DRS and make things more consistent.
Same with marnus in the first innings or Aus could be at 96-7.. diff match situation. Steve Smith tried to leave the ball in the gabba test and it was plumb but umpire gave notout and it was umpires call. He scored 100 and got his form @@garthwmangan
@@garthwmangansame with Smith. We you don't attempt a shot and get hit on the pad then you should be given out if it hit 10 % of the stump bcz you don't attempt to play. Umpires gave notout and it was umpires call
Just how good is test cricket. 5 days of gripping entertaiment. I couldnt even tell you who Glenn Maxwell of Jake Fraser is right now, and couldn't care less about T20. It's such a salad form of cricket
Not understanding the difference between aggressive batting in the test arena vs. the pajama cricket of T20 is smoothbrain like behaviour. You're basic.
Saw Geoff late on Day 4, didn't say hi because you were mid conversation and looked a little stressed but love both your work! What a wonderful match deserving of the series after two teasers that turned into beltings and a third that petered out with the weather.
Just to reiterate, on TV Simon Taufel was consulted in real time about the Jaiswal decision and he said the third umpire should have stopped after the video review since the big deviation already confirmed it was out and according to umpiring protocols that was all that was required. Under the protocols the third umpire didn't need to check snicko at all, indeed all it did was muddy the waters.
9:55 Footy reference, and VFL Park to boot! Great review, gentlemen. That is now 7 out of the last 8 tests that India have been very ordinary. A win in Sydney would erase all that. No rain is forecast. Will Starc be fit? Toss could be huge.
Glad you mentioned Carey whose great game behind the stumps included not deflecting those crucial catches taken at 1st slip. Carey's just had one of the all-time great keeping calendar years with 46 dismissals at a rate of >5/test - a rate which has only been achieved 3 times previously (Haddin & de Villiers in 2013 & Boucher in 1998). In 2023 Carey's 54 dismissals (including 10 stumpings!) at ~4.1/test was excellent but he's gone up another notch.
Pant's an instinctive cricketer. His instincts when he sees a ball like that is to put it into the crowd. Sometimes it's hard to go against your instincts. Head's tongue in cheek comment about bowling some long hops was pretty much accurate.
Pant got struck on the arm by Cummins before he got out. He was in discomfort and probably wanted to strike out. That’s my hypothesis for his brainfade.
Aussies deserve to be 2-1, well they should have been 3-1 if not for the rain lol. They were the better team through and through! As an Indian fan, I hope we can make it 2-2 but for that to happen, our senior batters need to come through + the team selection needs to come right in Sydney!
It is so interesting reading the Aussie media and comments. Who have done NOTHING but criticised, and belittled Cummins for years. "Dont tell me how to live MY life", "you knifed Langer", suddenly they are all in love with the guy! No wonder Pat likes it more in India than he does here. Sure they can be petty but they give him way more respect than you lot!
Adam’s dopamine rush comment is so astute. Like I think about these things but cricket comms just call it blood rush or brain fade and it’s so much more nuanced than that.
This series showed why KL Rahul will always be a mediocre batsman. People said he is in red hot form and all he has to showcase is a couple of 70+ scores. Smith and Head were almost out of form before the series started and both of them hit a couple of 100+. Now the belle of the ball. Kohli isn't going to retire willingly from the Test team as it's not in his nature to give up. So he needs to be dropped and for that Indian Test Fans need to run online campaigns/ discussions/ trends. His influence comes from his power which comes from his brand. Exactly why he doesn't even play ugly shots coz 'To look good' is more important than grinding it out. Come 2025, it will be 6 years that Kohli has been a blight on the Indian Test Team. A freaking blight! And what a special player Pat Cummins is. An all-round impact as always. Magnificent.
@@ethancoster1324 Yes. But even then he won't be consistent. He has a career of 10+ years now. All people have to say regarding him is that he has centuries in SENA countries but nothing about what those centuries led to the final team impact! Rahane was really good in that aspect. His good scores (100s or even 50s) in SENA led to many Indian wins/ draws.
@ethancoster1324 Because he wasn't consistent. BGT 2018 in Australia- His failures continued so his state friend Mayank Agarwal opened in the third test. His failures piled up in 2022 and so he was dropped in BGT 2023 4th test and Gill was brought in. His spot has changed these many years not to accommodate others but to accommodate him somehow in the team.
the other controversy that is winding up the Indian fans is Head's wicket celebration. I think he was making a golf analogy, but I can see how it could be interpreted as a visual obscenity. 😂
Not fair to single out Pant... Rohit, Kohli got out the same way. Most of all, I was absolutely puzzled by Jaiswal's approach. Even as he was losing partners at the other end, he kept going for those booming drives on the rise, playing and missing a lot in the process. What was the point of that? Sure enough, he also got out trying to play another expansive attacking shot. More than the decision, his shot selection should be under scrutiny.
you should be very proud of your cricket side they are very "australian-like" in how they play the game they fight tooth and nail and scrap for everything and thats probably the ultimate compliment I can give another cricket side
By no means a classic. Comprehensively won by Aussies. 4/15 sessions probably India won otherwise India was behind as was the case in the previous two tests.
The Jaiswal decision was probably correct, but regarding the Jaiswal-Head interaction, I am quite certain Head was just playing to the cameras knowing that the cameras would be on them.
i think india erred by playing for the draw. I think they have players who just bat better going after it and could of heaped the pressure right on the aussies, they had more than enough firepower to get 340 odd in 90 overs... in saying that they still nearly got the draw
Adam, why did Pant try and blast Head? Um, it's Risbah Pant? He managed to last a whole session batting against his natural attacking instincts. Head comes on and he couldn't help himself. You can't understand that? He lives his life on the edge (nearly killed himself in a car accident). The fact that Pant is at no.5 is probably more a problem than you have analyzed. Also, no problem with the light? They had switched on the lights on in the 76th over. Jaiswal ...? Don't forget his probably already a bit mind-fucked about the team and where he is out after yesterday's dressing down from Rohit a couple of times. BTW, great analysis of the Jaiswal dismissal, but what about his umpire's call escape on the Starc LBW?
That last session is a tough pill to swallow. Pant is going to get and deserve the brickbats coming his way. This is a temperament issue. Ind want him to be a Head type but Head makes big hundreds when he gets in. Pant is more a Carey type. Good for quick fifties and the occasional hundred, but not a reliable number 5, which is a very important position. He has made 20-30 most times he has batted but not one score above 50 this series. There isn't much new that can be said about Rohit and Kohli. I'm honestly kind of tired of repeating myself. Rohit probably looked the most comfortable he has looked all series today and I was really hoping he would bed in for a fifty at least. Dismissal was just kind of against the run of play. Kohli is the same old same old. You just know he will nick one sooner or later and he will look fine until then. Jaiswal showed grit again. Him, NKR, and Rahul along with Bumrah of course, are the only ones who will seemingly make it out of this series without being seriously scathed. Have to give huge plaudits to Cummins. If Bumrah is the freak of nature in the Ind side, Cummins is the same on the other end. Gets the vital wickets, makes the crucial runs, and captains well. He's pretty much the whole package as an Aus cricketer.
We have seen the ball deviate after it passes the bat N' number of times. Here he was overturning the decision of the onfield umpire. Nothing was conclusive. One sees a lot number of people gloating because they got away, honestly.
I’ll tell u this, if pant is as fault for playing a reckless shot then so is kohli and Rohit as well. If the objective is to play for a draw what the hell are these guys going ?? I’m gutted.
Stat - in India's last 7 test matches india ius 1-5 with a draw * weather saves them in Brisbane. This just goes to show how bad India are right now they have one player that saves them constantly if they did not have him or he gets injured they are screwed
on pant , he must have thought that by taking down head aussies might panic and then forced to bowl quicks and leme put some overs into their legs to make sure they're still fatigued at sydney ... he must have over assured of their teams draw and decided to persue his overseeing ! make sense coz when jaiswal getting lost in in his head pant bring him down through the middle session ! idn who would've conveyed the idea to them ... sucker mover foreseeing. and on jasiwal decision ,rohit himself told on press that he'd hit it so yeah umpire's safe ...
How on earth the third umpire over rule the main umpire when the fact is the snicko is not working or not showing snicks, as per rule if no snicko then third umpire should follow the on field Umpire,while it is another point that jaiswal may have nicked the ball
@@thiru_asc1 It is not a rule that the third umpire has to look at snicko. As Geoff explained, if there is a clear deflection then the third umpire is within his rights to use that as evidence that it is out.
Australia has been BY FAR the better team. We were saved by the rain in the last test, but this time without weather they got their win. Virat and Rohit need to get on with things. I do think Virat has more cricket, more good cricket, in him, but if hes unable to stay at the crease, he is not contributing in any significant way. There are many others waiting in line to take that spot and maybe they won't settle in immediately, but thats better than Virat keeping a spot from youngsters. And Rohit is not a test player at all. He shouldn't be on our test team. We had a great balanced side without him in the first test with the right captain at the helm. I prefer the old Australian way of selecting the team and selecting the captain from the 11 players playing, rather than a player taking up space in the 11 just because they are the captain.
As someone from Perth, your Perth slander is hilarious and deserved. The never ending excuses are embarrassing. Club cricket, Damian Oliver, not enough WA players in the team, FIFO workers, too hot...
Pant was seen as a future captain and the next in line Vice Captain. I think that dream is over now. Bumrah is certain to be captain after SCG, but it’ll be interesting to see who is the vice captain. Not a lot of options there. KL is terrible with leadership, Pant is brainless sometimes with batting/DRS. Wonder if it’ll be someone young like Jaiswal.
Can you guys please discuss Mitch Marsh? I know he always attracts vitriolic comments online, so I would like your considered commentary on his place in the side.
He still found ways to contribute with two well taken chances. I think he holds his spot in the team with the win but I don’t agree with it. His career numbers in tests with bat and ball speak for themselves, it’s not great reading. Nothing against him, he’s had some great moments in all formats, but his output this series with bat and ball doesn’t justify a spot in the team.
I mean very disappointed with Rohit and virat but players Rishabh is just to get famous on social media...he doesn't think about the team.. When virat is in form he has won us the games many times ..When he is out of form how many players have won us the game?? Scoring 50s 100s is useless if you can't win us the game..
india lost due to confusion whether to go for win or draw....as all the wickets happened playing unnecessarilyconfused shots by rohit, kohli, pant, jaiswal....in the end the last wicket of lyon and boland proved decisive...as if india were chasing 280 they would have approached with more clarity and better shots...
Indian team playing with just 3batters in Jaiswal, Rahul and Reddy this series as rest of them hardly have performed,pity KL Rahul who was unceremoniously pushed down to no 1 again and breaking his confidence,the responsibility of this series defeat should be taken by Rohit for his pathetic captaincy and terrible batting along with King Kohli who id equally responsible,Hope rohit retires immediately.. Cummins Captaincy was great to watch as long with his fine bowling

Don't worry mate. Kohli and Sharma won't let the Aussies down. Kohli will find a way to edge one off even if they are having a beer fielding in slips.

Adam, why did Pant try and blast Head? Um, it's Risbah Pant? He managed to last a whole session batting against his natural attacking instincts. Head comes on and he couldn't help himself. You can't understand that? He lives his life on the edge (nearly killed himself in a car accident). The fact that Pant is at no.5 is probably more a problem than you have analyzed. Also, no problem with the light? They had switched on the lights on in the 76th over. Jaiswal ...? Don't forget his probably already a bit mind-fucked about the team and where he is out after yesterday's dressing down from Rohit a couple of times. BTW, great analysis of the Jaiswal dismissal, but what about his umpire's call escape on the Starc LBW?
Alright then, who's this RUclipsr with a major dopamine deficit? We need names...
All of us, honestly
Would have been a different story if it was an lbw review by India with nothing on snicko but visible deviation off the bat.
If there was visible deviation then it would have been overturned, that's the point of the system
@ Indeed, I was referring to the supposed outrage from one contingent of fans.
That last session is a tough pill to swallow. Pant is going to get and deserve the brickbats coming his way. This is a temperament issue. Ind want him to be a Head type but Head makes big hundreds when he gets in. Pant is more a Carey type. Good for quick fifties and the occasional hundred, but not a reliable number 5, which is a very important position. He has made 20-30 most times he has batted but not one score above 50 this series. There isn't much new that can be said about Rohit and Kohli. I'm honestly kind of tired of repeating myself. Rohit probably looked the most comfortable he has looked all series today and I was really hoping he would bed in for a fifty at least. Dismissal was just kind of against the run of play. Kohli is the same old same old. You just know he will nick one sooner or later and he will look fine until then. Jaiswal showed grit again. Him, NKR, and Rahul along with Bumrah of course, are the only ones who will seemingly make it out of this series without being seriously scathed. Have to give huge plaudits to Cummins. If Bumrah is the freak of nature in the Ind side, Cummins is the same on the other end. Gets the vital wickets, makes the crucial runs, and captains well. He's pretty much the whole package as an Aus cricketer.
India got a Much Deserved defeat.. just feel sad for Real King Bumrah n Reddy Washi n Yashasvi..
We have seen the ball deviate after it passes the bat N' number of times. Here he was overturning the decision of the onfield umpire. Nothing was conclusive. One sees a lot number of people gloating because they got away, honestly.
Wow. What the hell.
I’ll tell u this, if pant is as fault for playing a reckless shot then so is kohli and Rohit as well. If the objective is to play for a draw what the hell are these guys going ?? I’m gutted.
Stat - in India's last 7 test matches india ius 1-5 with a draw * weather saves them in Brisbane. This just goes to show how bad India are right now they have one player that saves them constantly if they did not have him or he gets injured they are screwed
on pant , he must have thought that by taking down head aussies might panic and then forced to bowl quicks and leme put some overs into their legs to make sure they're still fatigued at sydney ... he must have over assured of their teams draw and decided to persue his overseeing ! make sense coz when jaiswal getting lost in in his head pant bring him down through the middle session ! idn who would've conveyed the idea to them ... sucker mover foreseeing. and on jasiwal decision ,rohit himself told on press that he'd hit it so yeah umpire's safe ...
Turn around teams and put your hand on your heart, would you be released same openion if SM on bat.😂😂😂😂
Jaiswal should be fined for dissent.
I agree. He didn't accept the decision and hung around for far too long after given out despite admitting to (I believe) Head that he hit it.
How on earth the third umpire over rule the main umpire when the fact is the snicko is not working or not showing snicks, as per rule if no snicko then third umpire should follow the on field Umpire,while it is another point that jaiswal may have nicked the ball
@@thiru_asc1 It is not a rule that the third umpire has to look at snicko. As Geoff explained, if there is a clear deflection then the third umpire is within his rights to use that as evidence that it is out.
Australia has been BY FAR the better team. We were saved by the rain in the last test, but this time without weather they got their win. Virat and Rohit need to get on with things. I do think Virat has more cricket, more good cricket, in him, but if hes unable to stay at the crease, he is not contributing in any significant way. There are many others waiting in line to take that spot and maybe they won't settle in immediately, but thats better than Virat keeping a spot from youngsters.
And Rohit is not a test player at all. He shouldn't be on our test team. We had a great balanced side without him in the first test with the right captain at the helm. I prefer the old Australian way of selecting the team and selecting the captain from the 11 players playing, rather than a player taking up space in the 11 just because they are the captain.
As someone from Perth, your Perth slander is hilarious and deserved. The never ending excuses are embarrassing. Club cricket, Damian Oliver, not enough WA players in the team, FIFO workers, too hot...
Optus had solid crowds for match 1 given it was more or less a 3 day test.
Pant is an amazing player but he's made some pretty poor shot choices here. Arguably it's cost India a lot.
Pant was seen as a future captain and the next in line Vice Captain. I think that dream is over now.
Bumrah is certain to be captain after SCG, but it’ll be interesting to see who is the vice captain. Not a lot of options there. KL is terrible with leadership, Pant is brainless sometimes with batting/DRS. Wonder if it’ll be someone young like Jaiswal.
Can you guys please discuss Mitch Marsh? I know he always attracts vitriolic comments online, so I would like your considered commentary on his place in the side.
We will do tomorrow, for sure
He still found ways to contribute with two well taken chances. I think he holds his spot in the team with the win but I don’t agree with it. His career numbers in tests with bat and ball speak for themselves, it’s not great reading.
Nothing against him, he’s had some great moments in all formats, but his output this series with bat and ball doesn’t justify a spot in the team.
He’s only there because Green isn’t.
How many blow-flies had to die to make Geoff’s slacks???
Test cricket won. Also australia.
Rohit needs to stand down!
I mean very disappointed with Rohit and virat but players Rishabh is just to get famous on social media...he doesn't think about the team..
When virat is in form he has won us the games many times ..When he is out of form how many players have won us the game??
Scoring 50s 100s is useless if you can't win us the game..
You two are fucking hilarious and pretty good with your observations, just a bit too long other wise good job
india lost due to confusion whether to go for win or draw....as all the wickets happened playing unnecessarilyconfused shots by rohit, kohli, pant, jaiswal....in the end the last wicket of lyon and boland proved decisive...as if india were chasing 280 they would have approached with more clarity and better shots...
Ohhh confusion was it.
Lol
India' s defeat is due to "Rohit &Kohli Famine"!
Quit it with the ^Scorchies" please, you sound so smug C-dawg
Indian team playing with just 3batters in Jaiswal, Rahul and Reddy this series as rest of them hardly have performed,pity KL Rahul who was unceremoniously pushed down to no 1 again and breaking his confidence,the responsibility of this series defeat should be taken by Rohit for his pathetic captaincy and terrible batting along with King Kohli who id equally responsible,Hope rohit retires immediately.. Cummins Captaincy was great to watch as long with his fine bowling
Saying they had given up the chase after 27 overs is surely just plain misleading. Could always have tried escalating at the back end
They were too far out at that stage, can't just start playing T20 on a Day 5 Test pitch
@@FinalWordCricket I’m certain he wouldn’t have played that shot if at least the Indian camp thought they could win
@@bwils11_wrong
Australia did not win, india lost due to stupid shot selection by pant and jaiswal...
Nah Australia won
Pant was a knucklehead, and at that stage there was no reason for Jaiswal to try hook a short ball.
Such a stupid and ignorant comment.
That's cool man. It's 2-1 Australia. Cry me amoré
Look in the score book.
W for Australia.
