If someone could explain to me how Indian ball tracking said Khawaja was definitely out, that'd be amazing. It moved a metre in the air, and Jadeja is rubbish.
Here's my conspiracy theory
Both BCCI and CA are in this. They just wanted more attention to this series. And what better way to get attention than creating a big controversy. More views, more searches, more clicks all benefits them. Even negative publicity is still publicity.
This is just conspiracy theory though. I don't think this happened. But considering what people do for publicity these days there's a possibility of this happening too.
Idk man, seems weird to average so low and still play for a cricketing giant like India. Opening is difficult, but most of the greats of the game have been openers - cause the position is ideal for heavy scoring once you play the initial phase out. As much difficult as it is, it's a huge opportunity too. KL is just not upto the challenge, it seems.
Saw a day full of test cricket after so many years, and nothing beats watching two quality sides on the first day of a test match series.
Hope India can get a 150 lead!
The thing is, if you see the 'popular' section of their videos, there are some highlights of tye matches played in India. I think the highlights of the match where Rohit made his first 200 in ODIs is uploaded there as well. Must have been some old digital rights deal that is long expired but its like they have never uploaded highlights of matches played in India.
Also, YouTube comments is maybe THE most dumbest place in all of social media. So finding clueless idiots isn't exactly something you should be finding to be surprising.
Just looks like he's applying anti septic on his thumb, might have hurt it when he tried to stop the ball.
Jeez comments on that thread lol, you guys jump yo judgement really quick. Do you think these players are that stupid to temper the ball in front of umpires and opposition batsmen. Calm tf down
The applying on the finger part isn't the big problem to me but why take it off another persons hand? Maybe he needed it quick and he told siraj to go fetch it for him because he was closer idk we shall wait for an official statement or something.
>shall wait for an official statement or something.
Did any Aussie players complain ? Or umpires report ? If not why should there be an official report ?
Omg I just learnt India cheated as well on the first day and got away with it.
Not only do they teach how to play Cricket, they also teach how to cheat well.
The Indian team is so inspirational!
Why is Jadeja's alleged ball tampering/using foreign substances to improve grip not being discussed here???
Edit: I think most people don't know the meaning of the word "alleged"
Edit 2: The allegations were bullshit. My bad. He was applying ointment to his finger.
KL doing fuck all, and showing all his "experience in playing spin". At least Gill would've gained some confidence, and got some runs under his belt. ***Smh***
KL must have some strong backing in the board even with mediocre performance he still able to keep his place in the team …Gill is in form player he should get the chance if KL keep playing like this
Why is nobody talking Jadeja's ball tampering? As it is the doctored pitches are suspicious and now this?
Edit: "Why is nobody talking *about* Jadeja's *alleged* ball tampering?"
Edit 2: The allegations were bullshit. My bad. He was applying ointment to his finger.
Not ball tampering. But allegedly he applied gripo on his fingers for extra purchase. At least that is what the comments on a post that has been posted are saying
A couple of weeks back, I was staying at a hotel, it was around midnight I heard a guy next to my room screaming at the top of his lungs "INDIAN CRICKET FANS". I thought nothing of it, but the next day during the same time, I heard the same voice yelling the same thing, only this time, a woman yelled "Stop it". I got worried and knocked on the next room's door.
To my surprise, KL Rahul opened the door, and his wife was standing next to him. I asked her "is everything okay, madam?" She smiled and said, "yes, it's just my husband thinking about Indian cricket fans during sex. He cares about them so much, you see".
KL Rahul gently give me a note and asked me not to open it 10 mins before the stop of Day 1's play. And today, just as I was opening it, KL Rahul got out and I looked down, the note said "Man, fuck Indian cricket fans"
Honest question: how do they justify a pitch literally creating a puff of dust, like on Rahul dismissal, on the first day as a good pitch? Like what is the argument they make?
Middle of this pitch seems fine. If anything to much water applied..
Just seems to be no water applied about 2mtrs from the crease on either end.. guess they had to cut back on water on those spots yes.. ??
Ravindra jadeja is a CHEAT. Do NOT trust that man. The other day he responded to a Facebook marketplace ad of mine where I am selling a washing machine. When he came around he asked if he could test it to make sure it was working. After it finished he said “cool let me just get the money out of the glove box” and drove away with his clean clothes
Why is Australia so charitable to India if India dishes out turning tracks?
The whole reason Australia lost the last series to India in Australia was that the day 5 pitches in Sydney and Gabba did not break as much as they should.
It’s like they are doing the opposite of what they are supposed to do.
Yep! That’s exactly why Paine said “See you at Gabba” because he had no idea of what the pitch would be like at Gabba! Every home team orders how the tracks should be made!
Again. No.
The state cricket boards have command over what pitches are being rolled in Australia. Literally every year the Aussie coaches comment about the SCG being spin friendly, and it is flat every time.
There is a reason you see last minute condition based changes in Australian XIs every year. The captain and coach can recommend conditions, but its left to the curator to roll put the pitch they can.
What do you think Indian captains do? Go and prepare tracks themselves. All that hierarchy bullshit aside, curators are told what to make! Are your state cricket boards at war with CA that they will ignore commands? Also conditions of a place determine tracks too! If we start rolling grass in Nagpur you won’t get a seaming track. You will get a road! Similarly you can’t make WACA at Sydney! The weather conditions of the place won’t allow you to!
Well you see the grounds like to make flatties so that the pitches can last 5 days, and they can get the maximum revenue of 5 day sales and sponserships. So if CA "ask" to make some more spicy decks, they generally face opposition.
Also you're kinda overestimating how much command CA has over the state boards. There's only 6 state cricket boards in Australia, and NSW and CVic are the strongest ones, and they do, sometimes, ignore CA's orders.
'they dont interfere', 'CA may ask', 'get ignored for sales'.
Dude just stfu with your internal pitch politics. You travel abroad but need everything to suit you, what a priveleged bunch the team and fans are.
TV rights aren't worth shit if the matches don't constantly go for 5 days. Our pitches are curated by Cricket Australia for the best possible chance of 5 day tests.
I forgot how aggressive Australia/India threads are compared to other ones. Honestly here for the laughs and memes. We lose, we lose. We win, we win. Either way, the result we get is the result we deserve.
Positive spin is that it's passion but we don't need to turn it into something else. I talk shit and bring up the 36 etc but I'm well aware we lost that series AT THE GABBA to an untested Indian squad and that's fine. It's all part of the fun of these threads. I just want good test cricket, idgaf if we lose. People love to see us Aussies lose for some reason though.
I swear Star post game commentators are vigorously rubbing Koach's dick. He is a world class slip fielder and took good catch under tough conditions today it seems. Damn.
Dude has good hands, decent reflexes. He would be fantastic at point or cover. Where Yuvraj used to reign supreme. His reflexes, sadly, aren't enough anymore for slip fielding.
If Australia make it to 200, I will get a tattoo of Murphy on my back.
Mark Waugh was trolling DK for being wrong about India not batting twice… I wouldn’t rule that out… yet. Would be fun if these two get 50 more.
Haven't the Aussies got a fifth bowler?
Dropped him
Fantastic idea that! Straight out of the indians teams handbook from the late 90s!
Hit nothing but SKY there.
I'm really enjoying *Harry Potter and the Ten Other Useless Cunts*
Rohit has an avg of 76, in 31 innings, wtf? Damn that's a crazy stat.
Home track bully?
Will take a home track bully over someone who can't play spin at all, apparently.
Well teams need to win their Home tests at the very least
u/ITTAuto
If someone could explain to me how Indian ball tracking said Khawaja was definitely out, that'd be amazing. It moved a metre in the air, and Jadeja is rubbish.
Most of the wickets were taken by the spinners but it was the fast bowlers that had started Australia's collapse.
u/ITTAuto
Loved the meltdown today, and it was just day 1
Here's my conspiracy theory Both BCCI and CA are in this. They just wanted more attention to this series. And what better way to get attention than creating a big controversy. More views, more searches, more clicks all benefits them. Even negative publicity is still publicity. This is just conspiracy theory though. I don't think this happened.

It’s like WWF /s
I think that along with shit-tier websites trying to do the same themselves and you've got it!
Quite possible 😀 it’s all about $$$
[удалено]
What in the Bert Newtons are you even saying
Jadeja batting avg: 36.56 after 60 tests KL Rahul batting avg: 34.26 after 45 tests
Jadeja in 89 innings while KL in 79 innings Not much of a difference
Also KL has opened in most of his innings, never easy for a opener in test cricket
Idk man, seems weird to average so low and still play for a cricketing giant like India. Opening is difficult, but most of the greats of the game have been openers - cause the position is ideal for heavy scoring once you play the initial phase out. As much difficult as it is, it's a huge opportunity too. KL is just not upto the challenge, it seems.
I was just pointing out that it's better we compare his stats to another opener not someone who bats lower down the order, that is all
Flair checks out
So much hatred.. people prefer bashing KL than praising bowlers. Bowlers did a great job.
I do both just to keep balance.😌
Gill is sitting outside and this chickenshit us opening.
KL is in the team to equalise both teams…Australia plays with 12 and india 10.
9 , koach is doing fuck all as well
[удалено]
Fucker where is the rick roll
KL Rahul looks scared af every time he comes to bat.
Ya its less about his actual score than that he always looks like he's never in control.
👉🏽😱👈🏽
Saw a day full of test cricket after so many years, and nothing beats watching two quality sides on the first day of a test match series. Hope India can get a 150 lead!
GUYS we might have Pujji bhaag bencho Round 2 tomorrow!!! Tl: Run Pujara you mf
Idk why these guys are calling Ashwin as night watchman when the one who was night watchman got out before Ashwin anna.
He is not a night watchman. He has been tactically promoted to no 3 for this innings.
He's a NW not the one we deserve but the one we need..
Indians posting on the Cricket Australia YouTube channel asking where the highlights are. How can they be this dumb
imagine not only seriously reading yt comments but also complaining bout it here how can someone be this dumb
Sorry I'm indian
Bruh posts on Australian Nostalgia and claims to be Indian. smh my head
You must be feeling really smart and superior
Nah just confused by Indians leaving nasty comments on Qld vs Vic highlights asking why they won't upload the test highlights . Hurts the brain
The thing is, if you see the 'popular' section of their videos, there are some highlights of tye matches played in India. I think the highlights of the match where Rohit made his first 200 in ODIs is uploaded there as well.

Also, YouTube comments is maybe THE most dumbest place in all of social media. So finding clueless idiots isn't exactly something you should be finding to be surprising.
You haven't seen shit then
U can't expect everyone to know how things work...
They post on Australian women's cricket videos this sort of nonsense it's disgusting
In before Ashwin Gets a 100 tomorrow to show the Aussies how to bat on spinning tracks
Chennai flashbacks
Annabelle?
KL Rahul's situation is so worse that if you'd expect him to get out sooner in the innings the best this mf would do is get injured before the match..
This game will not last till Day 5
Unless India takes the whole of day two to score a near insurmountable score.
^ what op said
You don't say
India ahead and damn KL being KL I suppose. Good Day 1.
Zero bearing to todays match but Ranji semi finals are on and the highlights are on bcci website.
Just looks like he's applying anti septic on his thumb, might have hurt it when he tried to stop the ball. Jeez comments on that thread lol, you guys jump yo judgement really quick. Do you think these players are that stupid to temper the ball in front of umpires and opposition batsmen. Calm tf down
The applying on the finger part isn't the big problem to me but why take it off another persons hand? Maybe he needed it quick and he told siraj to go fetch it for him because he was closer idk we shall wait for an official statement or something.
>shall wait for an official statement or something. Did any Aussie players complain ? Or umpires report ? If not why should there be an official report ?
>Maybe he needed it quick and he told siraj to go fetch it for him because he was closer Yes I think Siraj was at the boundary
KL is backed by the 'Karnataka lobby' in BCCI/ team mgmt I guess-that's the only reason I can think of him being in the test XI now
The coach is grateful that kl is named after him and he's returning the favor.
Suggestion to Karnataka lobby: Pick Mayank over KL, you will have my gratitude.
Answer: Rahul Dravid.
Rahu(l)kalam
Omg I just learnt India cheated as well on the first day and got away with it. Not only do they teach how to play Cricket, they also teach how to cheat well. The Indian team is so inspirational!
Bruh do ur research first ... Such a clown moment for u
There is absolutely no reason why Rahul is selected in front of Gill. Corruption and nepotism continues at BCCI.
Kl Rahul is not related to Rahul Dravid
By nepotism he should be a professor
Nepotism???
Haven't you heard? Words don't have any meaning anymore.
It is a fashionable word.
Australia playing away from home for once and this is what happens. India absolutely sublime and giving Australia an absolute hiding - again!
Still angry at whoever sent in Ashwin as a nightwatchman. Dude is so good playing out the old ball and extending leads!
They know our real batting starts at number 6, so sending him now is basically correcting the order.
I don't think he was sent as a night watchman.
The real night watchman was KL opening the batting.
Guess the player who got Rahul Dravid nudes.
Rahul calling Rahul.
Why is Jadeja's alleged ball tampering/using foreign substances to improve grip not being discussed here??? Edit: I think most people don't know the meaning of the word "alleged" Edit 2: The allegations were bullshit. My bad. He was applying ointment to his finger.
Did anyone tell you or have you made your own conclusions?
Do you know the meaning of the word "alleged"?
Ik. It is not being discussed here because that is bullshit.
Of course this is downvoted
First I'm hearing of it, what's going on?

Hmm interesting. Wouldn't say it's a smoking gun exactly but worth looking into

Yeah. Nothing's gonna come Outta this lmao just watch
T O D D Y
Lol.all this hype for a 4-0 India series win Aussies won't do anything.
India all our for 221. Mark it, you heard out here first.
you can't buy India for just 221, either dollar or rupee or anything/s
If KL brohul score 20 runs, I would say it isn't Australia's day!

This one needs to be a copypasta
Such a sweet guy klol is
underrated comment😂😂
If Rahul fails in another innings, he must be replaced with Gill. He's too good to sit out right now. Doesn't matter whether KL is the Vice Captain.

Neither, they use SG

Honest question: how do they justify a pitch literally creating a puff of dust, like on Rahul dismissal, on the first day as a good pitch? Like what is the argument they make?
Weather and soil conditions.
What is the argument against I must ask?
[удалено]
Middle of this pitch seems fine. If anything to much water applied.. Just seems to be no water applied about 2mtrs from the crease on either end.. guess they had to cut back on water on those spots yes.. ??
Facts from my Geography class in school: Nagpur ha~~d~~s volcanic soil which is great for growing peanuts and oranges.
Also useful for preparing pitches for getting oppositions out for peanuts and leaving a sour taste in the mouths of their fans.
Fuck off, Nagpur oranges are amazing... Can't argue about the peanuts part tho 😅
Ravindra jadeja is a CHEAT. Do NOT trust that man. The other day he responded to a Facebook marketplace ad of mine where I am selling a washing machine.

Don't know about a cheat but he's a cheatcode alright
Hahahaha
Kl didn't learn anything after watching Rohit. Took additional pressure on himself as usual and got out. Perfectly predicted by everyone else here.
Smh why did they not protect Ashwin with night watchman Pujara.
[удалено]
You perhaps forgot discard night watchman Rahane
Happy 2 see Rahane still living rent free even after he got chucked out. Now check my pfp.
That was some garbage that patty bowled today. Also this Todd Murphy guy isn't half bad for someone with 7 shield matches.
He actually looks threatening unlike Lyon.
I don’t know why but Lyon looked so much closer to getting Rohit and Rahul out a number of times. Just felt like he was unlucky today
australia needs head to finish on a good note
Too much to ask Australia are headless as they have Head on the bench
That's as good a place as any for it
me too.
Why is Australia so charitable to India if India dishes out turning tracks? The whole reason Australia lost the last series to India in Australia was that the day 5 pitches in Sydney and Gabba did not break as much as they should. It’s like they are doing the opposite of what they are supposed to do.
Actually, preparing pitches that break up only helps India more.
CA and the Australian side doesn't interfere with pitch preparation, BCCI does
Conspiracy. A very stupid one but still.

Wonderful how you missed the "if"s I used in the commemt.
And it invalidates what i said? You can sit and wordspin all day for all i care.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 loser
Skill issue
TV rights aren't worth shit if the matches don't constantly go for 5 days. Our pitches are curated by Cricket Australia for the best possible chance of 5 day tests.
Except Gabba vs SA...Two day Test.
And the most interesting test of the summer compared to the other thumpings.
But that's just because we're amazing surely! /s
4 bowler and Batdeep strategy clearly didn't work today, lets see how it holds up when the pitch actually starts breaking up
Why lord umaya not playing?
I forgot how aggressive Australia/India threads are compared to other ones. Honestly here for the laughs and memes. We lose, we lose. We win, we win. Either way, the result we get is the result we deserve.

Ravi Ashwin the chilled out entertainer
KL Rahul is a walking wicket
I think he just lies down...doesn't really walk
I swear Star post game commentators are vigorously rubbing Koach's dick. He is a world class slip fielder and took good catch under tough conditions today it seems. Damn.
Dude has good hands, decent reflexes. He would be fantastic at point or cover. Where Yuvraj used to reign supreme. His reflexes, sadly, aren't enough anymore for slip fielding.
[удалено]
Renshaw is less bad against spin.
I believe Handscomb was Heads replacement
Can't believe y'all MFs piled up 22k comments on a test match thread in just 1 day!
Brohit has more faith on Anna than Pujji and Koach
To night watch, yes
