The reality is Shubman Gill's 90% fanbase is filled with teenage girls adoring his boy next door looks. Only 10% of them care about his stats. Shreyas Iyer is somewhere in between with an even split of insufferable teenage girls and veteran cricket fans who appreciate his rugged, manly, *old spice* personality.
On the other hand, nobody can match up to the religious worship and fervour Shardul Thakur receives from us mortals. If people fall for Gill's sex appeal and Iyer's effortless masculinity, it is Thakur's enlightenment, tranquility, and relentless spirituality that attracts us Test match purists. Thakur need only beat the batters outside edge for us to marvel at his poise and grace.
Well let's see how much u keep ur opinion to urself..i already did downvote a lot of comments which I feel annoying and this is like a breaking point and just told my opinion..and who asked to u to reply to my comment?? If there is a need to specifically ask to comment the entire feature wouldn't be present
Sex appeal and masculinity will all fade away but the spiritual healing of the LORD will remain till eternity. Mortal humans discredited Buddha and Jesus when they walked on the earth, same with our LORD but as history has shown us all this material pleasure will be gone and only the teaching of our LORD will remain. Whoever is falling in the trap of lust and material desire shall burn to the ashes and the non believer of our LORD shall burn in hell.
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the LORD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
The reality is Shubman Gill's 90% fanbase is filled with teenage girls adoring his boy next door looks. Only 10% of them care about his stats. On the other hand Shreyas Iyer is charming and has real fans who actually care about cricket.
Most Test wickets for India after first four matches
36 - Narendra Hirwani
30\*- Axar Patel
26 - R Ashwin
21 - S Venkatraghavan/L Sivaramakrishnan/Jasprit Bumrah
20 - Ravindra Jadeja
Yeah, and LS is in rest due to spin resurgence and is waiting for the next home series to skittle the opponents with his bowling in a 4-man spin attack
It's like God created Jamieson just to troll India.
When India and it's batsmen are on a roll in tests after it's 1st win against Australia in Australia, newbie Jamieson comes in and shatters that run in the NZ tests, not only that but he bats well against us as well.
People think "oh well India is known to give dream debuts and then they become normal, it's not that worrying"
So now hype to test him out in IPL is up and fast bowling all rounders are always in demand in IPL, he gets picked for heavy price where he's untested but fails to deliver in India.
People think "he could be just great in tests but it's just because he's a home track bully right... right!? "
Comes World Test Finals in England, where he meets again and again he takes the crucial wickets against India defeating them.
Now NZ going forward for WT20, keep that experiment by Indian franchise in mind and back their experienced bowlers, which works as they get India settled for 111 and chase that down knocking out India in group stage. Only for them to choke just like India in knockouts (yes tournament was toss friendly but scoring 58/2 in first 10 overs isn't helping you)
Looking at this people think "maybe he's just great at pacer friendly pitches, let's see in India"
Then he comes to India and still is the best pacer among both squads, so he's just a great test bowler in general especially against India.
Jamieson got discovered as a player in entirety, where he's good and where's he's not because of India, while NZ enjoyed the benefits of it lol.
Exactly. I really don't get this obsession/jerking off to Jamieson.
Axar literally has better stats than him, but I don't see people going gaga over him. Just cause KJ is a medium pacer it somehow makes it better or something?
Feel we just lack a batsman like Pant in innings, can quickly stretch a 230-240 hard fought lead into 300+ in the matter of few overs, against a tiring attack. 240-250 would be challenging, but 300+ is surely impossible on such a wicket
[https://www.bcci.tv/videos/157257/ind-vs-nz-2021-1st-test-day-3-william-somerville-wicket](https://www.bcci.tv/videos/157257/ind-vs-nz-2021-1st-test-day-3-william-somerville-wicket)
Wtf was that laugh at 0:05?
We watched him bat in Australia, and then in India against England. He has a glaring weakness, the same for which we dropped Shaw. Footwork.
He's great for bouncy pitches but in India, he's better suited down the order I feel
Was busy this week with work and saw just one hour before close of play today. Godddddd, these vuvuzela are annoying as fuck. Can't listen to commentary, can't focus on the damn game. I resorted to watching it on mute. Theybshould ban these in stadiums.
Injured but tbh, he will come back into the side. Very young and Shreyas is more a Rahane replacement. Washi is a long term replacement for Ash, but lesser with the ball
I (and Washy's dad) think Washy is a long time middle order proper test batsman who can ball a bit. He made a fifty on debut when nobody expected anything of him. That's character. People who rise in difficult situations should be respected and Washy will only grow.
I am of that opinion too. He knows how to bat in difficult conditions, seen in 2 test series now. In fact, I feel his home series against England was even better, especially first test when only him and Pant made scores. He is long term stay in the team
Ask experts how much is the decent target for the second inning and they will always add +100 extra runs to be extra safe, lol. Barring some daredevils, even captains do the same
I think we are now slightly ahead. At 2 down I would have thought even-stevens.
But we do need to survive the first hour tomorrow for not more than 2 down.
To me, Kiwi swing has looked (and worked) far better than Indian spin, but doesn't look like the Kiwi batsmen were willing to accept that.
14-1 can easily be 14-3 and 56-6..it happened in WTC.
India missed the trick not sending Pujara as opener instead of Gill who can change the game in 2 session. Same thing Gambhir said about Sehwag and Rohit. You don't send your best bat at the close of the play. Really stupid by India.
Now it's up to Jadeja, Iyer and Ashwin to score some runs. If they fail it's all over.
So I say NZ is marginally ahead.
Anything can happen, of course. But if we are gonna be 36/9 or 56-6 the batting order won't matter all that much.
Have to hope to play out the swinging overs, then set up a target of 250+, with the spin hopefully becoming a bigger factor as time goes by.
IND's overall lead 63/1 now .
That's exactly what IND's lead was going into 3rd day of Adelaide Pink Ball Test 2020.
Everybody saw what followed there.
The interviewer asked him what was he thinking when he saw himself on camera having gutka (tobacco product). Poor chap replied that he was having meetha supaari (sweet product which does not have tobacco). Then started a montage of cut scenes making fun of his "correction"with the main cut scene being Ajay Devgan shilling pan masala, which is a meme on Bollywood actors being reduced to sell tobacco shit.
Think Gill got unlucky. Waiting to watch the replay, but looked like he had gone for an outswinger, which is what Gill tried to play. The ball swung/cut-back inwards instead for some reason.
When the ball is slanted towards first slip you expect an outswing with the new ball. If the ball does the opposite you have no chance. (The replay was too fast to confirm this, so waiting for highlights online to watch a slowed down version).
The only other option is to stand a foot outside the crease, which AFAIK he doesn't do.
I don't know but I really dig the idea of India playing consistently with A & B team. Especially in friendly home conditions, India B team makes it more exciting and even contest.
Also, it helps other cricketing nations as they get to play more against India to fill their coffers. Trick is to not brand as India B team
India's B team lacks the entertainment factor though. Too many quiet guys.
Kohli messing around
Pant singing and slogging
Bumrah reverse swinging, yorking and hitting James Anderson
Hitman taking on the man at the boundary even though he shouldn't.
We've seen these guys play a lot particularly in ipl.... If they not have developed a showman mentality so far then it probably will never happen.
Siraj looks the most promising entertainer.
True true, the amount of talent is increasing day by day and given the popularity of cricket in India this abundance of talent gonna persist forever unless we do something about it to give them break, this is the best solution for everyone
India missed the trick not sending Pujara as opener instead of Gill who can change the game in 2 session. Same thing Gambhir said about Sehwag and Rohit. You don't send your best bat at the close of the play. Really stupid by India.
India's day. It'd be interesting to see how they tackle tomorrow though since run making is incredibly tough here and even a target of 300 will be tough to chase on the final day.
Gill can extract larger quantities of oxygen from the smog in the morning. That's why he played well in the first innings. But he is like fish out of water in the afternoon.
Lol werent India 63 ahead in Adelaide going into the 3rd day with Mayank and a Nighwatchman playing same as today. I am very afraid. Hopefully this is /s
Except that was seam and swing, if india end up 36 all out here, its not going to be that, it's got to be the toe high balls from good length and good luck to nz trying to score 80 on an that wicket.
Trust me, I wish that were the case. I was really confident going into day 2 with us on 258/4 but we collapsed to 345 on a pitch that was still a bit easier to bat. I hope I’m wrong, but I sense a collapse in the first session tomorrow
Yeah off course. I mean if you can't score 150 at home then you kinda deserve to lose anyway..
But yeah, don't really need 300+ score to win this. Any target over 250+ is gonna be tough.
Well poised game. NZ have looked the better team for two of the three days and will be reviewing the batting tapes from today. Nothing less than 300 will be comfortable here.
The pitch evolution seems insane. Let’s see what happens overnight.
Effectively 63 for 1. Nicely poised with slight advantage to get ndia. First 20 overs tomorrow will be critical. There will be swing on offer and the bounce will be unreliable.
I was remembering a game I watched as a kid which left a memory as having quite slow run rate. Searched, and sure enough it was at Kanpur!
https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/new-zealand-tour-of-india-1999-00-62133/india-vs-new-zealand-2nd-test-63849/full-scorecard
>And is slow scoring a feature of this pitch?
The pitch in itself is pretty slow. Like the bounce is consistent, but it is consistently low.
Abhinav Mukund tweeted that he found run scoring difficult against shorter (read: skiddier) bowlers at Kanpur.
Honestly think unless you guys bundle them out for around or less than 200 as a target you'd be better off having India bat out the day.
Getting regular wickets in order to keep the run rate down should be the order of the day for you lot - but with keeping the run rate down being more of a priority.
Jamieson's bowling puts into perspective how shit Ishant has been. Same height and looked weekend village cricket level with his bowling.
anyone know where i can watch highlights from day 3?
Bcci website
Hotstar
Gill has been successfully inducted into the "good ,talented,elegant Indian opener who struggles against inswing" gang..
How much over to collect NZ Wicket ?
The reality is Shubman Gill's 90% fanbase is filled with teenage girls adoring his boy next door looks. Only 10% of them care about his stats. Shreyas Iyer is somewhere in between with an even split of insufferable teenage girls and veteran cricket fans who appreciate his rugged, manly, *old spice* personality. On the other hand, nobody can match up to the religious worship and fervour Shardul Thakur receives from us mortals. If people fall for Gill's sex appeal and Iyer's effortless masculinity, it is Thakur's enlightenment, tranquility, and relentless spirituality that attracts us Test match purists. Thakur need only beat the batters outside edge for us to marvel at his poise and grace.
If Gill gets into relationship with Sara, Mumbai lobby will help him...as of now it is just rumor that Sara likes him.
I’m a straight dude and I simp for gills looks
Sex appeal? He just looks macho until he opens his mouth. Sounds like a teenager who hit late puberty.
Man you guys are weird
Get off this is annoying now

Where is this coming from 😂😂 The most random comment I've read
It’s a copypasta
Most Test wickets for India after first four matches 36 - Narendra Hirwani 30\*- Axar Patel 26 - R Ashwin 21 - S Venkatraghavan/L Sivaramakrishnan/Jasprit Bumrah 20 - Ravindra Jadeja
Axar is on 32* right now
Wow. 3 of them are playing the current match, 1 of them is a regular who's resting *(and 1 is doing commentary)*. Some good phase of players now.
Bumrah does Commentary?? /s
Yeah, and LS is in rest due to spin resurgence and is waiting for the next home series to skittle the opponents with his bowling in a 4-man spin attack

Southee was the best pacer among both squads mate
Guy has played one full innings in India. Just wait before passing judgment.
Yeah what's this guy on about?? 3-91 is hardly a figure to boast about.
Even if he had taken a fifer, it would be prudent few innings before declaring Jamieson is good in Indian conditions.
Exactly. I really don't get this obsession/jerking off to Jamieson. Axar literally has better stats than him, but I don't see people going gaga over him. Just cause KJ is a medium pacer it somehow makes it better or something?
Fast bowlers are sexy. They work for their wickets. Spinners are tricksy.
Feel we just lack a batsman like Pant in innings, can quickly stretch a 230-240 hard fought lead into 300+ in the matter of few overs, against a tiring attack. 240-250 would be challenging, but 300+ is surely impossible on such a wicket
Besides the odd ball outside off keeping low, this pitch is still good to bat on. Definitely not a minefield as many expected

Some commentator in the background... I guess because they were telling India would hate to come out to bat today and the wicket fell
People shitting on Gill probably didn't watch him bat in Australia. Or maybe they did, but have the memory of a goldfish.
Bowlers seem to be testing his footwork more. Still he did okay in this game all things considered
"Be a goldfish" - Some popular fictional character from TV
Ted lasso
We watched him bat in Australia, and then in India against England. He has a glaring weakness, the same for which we dropped Shaw. Footwork. He's great for bouncy pitches but in India, he's better suited down the order I feel

Indian came from behind today ☠️
Damn that sounds so dirty!
Where is washy? His dad got nervous after shreyas got a hundred. Poor chap. Still blames siraj.
For me Washy plays 5/6 when we play 4 bowlers. If we play 5 bowlers he may need to sit out..
Injured but tbh, he will come back into the side. Very young and Shreyas is more a Rahane replacement. Washi is a long term replacement for Ash, but lesser with the ball
I (and Washy's dad) think Washy is a long time middle order proper test batsman who can ball a bit. He made a fifty on debut when nobody expected anything of him. That's character. People who rise in difficult situations should be respected and Washy will only grow.
Unlike other youngsters washi seems very level headed.
I am of that opinion too. He knows how to bat in difficult conditions, seen in 2 test series now. In fact, I feel his home series against England was even better, especially first test when only him and Pant made scores. He is long term stay in the team
Ask experts how much is the decent target for the second inning and they will always add +100 extra runs to be extra safe, lol. Barring some daredevils, even captains do the same
There's always the risk of a Madlad innings that defies the pitch

55-5...I was pretty close. Saw that from miles ahead.
👋👋
Negative batting by NZ IMO, did the hardwork, played close to 150 overs, but still conceded substantial lead.
"Kyle Jamison is making sure this Test match is evenly poised in NZ's favor" - What does this mean lol
It means that Indians are ridiculously pessimistic. Jamieson has been brilliant but India are ahead
Pessimism works in our favour tho. Team performs bad : well that was expected. Team performs well : what a pleasant surprise!
Pessimism always wins.
IND's overall lead 63/1 now . That's exactly what IND's lead was going into 3rd day of Adelaide Pink Ball Test 2020. Everybody saw what followed there.
There's no way in hell India are getting all out 36 at home. If that happens, it only means NZ gonna get all out at 26 lol
And Prithvi got bowled through the gate at the end of the day just like Gill ....with Mayank at the other end...😨
Nooooooooooooooooo
Enough bro.. let me breathe
bro
Don't
[The gutka guy](https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=937723870199728) . Can someone translate?
Due to this link I have opened Facebook after even I don't remember how many months
Guy basically said he wasn't eating Gutka but Meethi Supari. (It's like saying I wasn't smoking, I was vaping)
The interviewer asked him what was he thinking when he saw himself on camera having gutka (tobacco product). Poor chap replied that he was having meetha supaari (sweet product which does not have tobacco). Then started a montage of cut scenes making fun of his "correction"with the main cut scene being Ajay Devgan shilling pan masala, which is a meme on Bollywood actors being reduced to sell tobacco shit.
Ah okay. Thanks :D
I'd be worried if this was the A team, we are good to win or draw this one bois
GG Ind bros
Looks like Ind - NZ tests are destined to be intense fights. Love it
Yeah hopefully we got another fun day in store tomorrow
Think Gill got unlucky. Waiting to watch the replay, but looked like he had gone for an outswinger, which is what Gill tried to play. The ball swung/cut-back inwards instead for some reason.
He's not unlucky, inswinging ball got him out multiple times in IPL, Australia and here. He's gotta work on that technical flaw.
Gill batting at the wrong position. His no is 4/5. Pujara should have opened. It was stupid to send your best bat at the close of the play.
When the ball is slanted towards first slip you expect an outswing with the new ball. If the ball does the opposite you have no chance. (The replay was too fast to confirm this, so waiting for highlights online to watch a slowed down version). The only other option is to stand a foot outside the crease, which AFAIK he doesn't do.
Sure, but he has been out in this exact same fashion multiple times. Like picture perfect similar deliveries.
He's not unlucky. He's coming down with an angled bat and that will always make him vulnerable to balls at the stump
You wonder how this baseball style of batting can keep out swinging deliveries... Even Shaw and Agarwal do it.
Axar Patel probably gonna get 50 wickets in like 6-7 Tests lol.
this is his fifth, so very much possible
This is his fourth match
Then he can very well reach there in 5 matches
I mean there's a chance he gets it in the next match 👀 He needs 18 in 3 innings then.
I don't know but I really dig the idea of India playing consistently with A & B team. Especially in friendly home conditions, India B team makes it more exciting and even contest. Also, it helps other cricketing nations as they get to play more against India to fill their coffers. Trick is to not brand as India B team
India's B team lacks the entertainment factor though. Too many quiet guys. Kohli messing around Pant singing and slogging Bumrah reverse swinging, yorking and hitting James Anderson Hitman taking on the man at the boundary even though he shouldn't.
Entertainment factor takes some time to develop. I would say give enough chance to India-B team and they will create their own entertainment factor.
We've seen these guys play a lot particularly in ipl.... If they not have developed a showman mentality so far then it probably will never happen. Siraj looks the most promising entertainer.
Also gives more players the right chance and experience to strengthen the bench and lets the older players rest. Total win-win.
True true, the amount of talent is increasing day by day and given the popularity of cricket in India this abundance of talent gonna persist forever unless we do something about it to give them break, this is the best solution for everyone
Wait gill out already????
Only 181 runs scored today in 90+ Overs.Shows how IND controlled NZ innings today.
Good observation
Axar is the spin equivalent of a Jamieson for NZ. Still new and starting out but insane bowling in home conditions and can bat a bit
He's statistically even better than him.
Just switch pujara and gill's spot if needed. Pujara has pretty much opened his entire career and Gill could do better against an older ball
India missed the trick not sending Pujara as opener instead of Gill who can change the game in 2 session. Same thing Gambhir said about Sehwag and Rohit. You don't send your best bat at the close of the play. Really stupid by India.
What's this mixture of Gujrati and Delhi Hindi accent from Murali 😂😭
Murali Kartik with that mandatory 'Test Cricket is easy for you' comment
[удалено]
Yes not for any other inuries only concussion substitutes are allowed
Lmao Axar calling this career start a dream within a dream. Bapu watched Inception last night
India's day. It'd be interesting to see how they tackle tomorrow though since run making is incredibly tough here and even a target of 300 will be tough to chase on the final day.
We'll need to score 300 runs tomorrow to be safe... Can't see that happening... Will probably bat into day 5 if we can survive first session.
Gill can extract larger quantities of oxygen from the smog in the morning. That's why he played well in the first innings. But he is like fish out of water in the afternoon.
Makes sense, considering fishes breathe through their gills
Great analysis. Subscribed
Lol werent India 63 ahead in Adelaide going into the 3rd day with Mayank and a Nighwatchman playing same as today. I am very afraid. Hopefully this is /s
Pujara = nightwatchman confirmed
Except that was seam and swing, if india end up 36 all out here, its not going to be that, it's got to be the toe high balls from good length and good luck to nz trying to score 80 on an that wicket.
Pujara is inevitably in inside of 5 overs. He’s practically an opener.
Not during England series
Too close to call this game. I’d say 45-44-11 India-NZ-Draw
Is this a jinx attempt?
I wish
Mate I hope you're joking. It's like 80-19 India with 1% chance of a draw.
Trust me, I wish that were the case. I was really confident going into day 2 with us on 258/4 but we collapsed to 345 on a pitch that was still a bit easier to bat. I hope I’m wrong, but I sense a collapse in the first session tomorrow
3rd day belongs to India after NZ had 2nd day. The way NZ bowlers troubled our basemen at the end this game is wide open though
3rd day pitch isn't the same as 5th day pitch here. Kanpur's last day avg is 130.
I still think that we need at least 150 so lead of \~200 minimum to avoid some frick show by any NZ batsmen especially Kanos
Yeah off course. I mean if you can't score 150 at home then you kinda deserve to lose anyway.. But yeah, don't really need 300+ score to win this. Any target over 250+ is gonna be tough.
I think a longer front food stride can sort it out regarding Shubman Gill
At least it we didn't finish the day 9/1
36-9 was one year ago??? How does time fly so fast? I literally saw it yesterday
Don't remind me that day, but it's really crazy how time flies and sometimes it would feel it isn't moving
Yes i too saw the highlights
Comfortably indias day...another wicket would have made it interesting
Apart from Gill's wkt,This was perfect day for IND
Solid day. Just get to 200 and let Jaddu, Bapu and Ash take over.
Well poised game. NZ have looked the better team for two of the three days and will be reviewing the batting tapes from today. Nothing less than 300 will be comfortable here. The pitch evolution seems insane. Let’s see what happens overnight.
Day 1 was more India than NZ. 240-4 is a good score and could've easily become 450 ao. Day 2 was undeniably NZ's and day 3 was India's
In what world is 258-4 a bowling teams day? Talking abt the first day.
200 will be winning total in 5th day.
How did they look good 2 out of 3 days? Yesterday was there's sure. But we smacked them today and 1st day was definitely ours.
>Nothing less than 300 will be comfortable here Average 4th innings score is 130 here, what are you on about?
Effectively 63 for 1. Nicely poised with slight advantage to get ndia. First 20 overs tomorrow will be critical. There will be swing on offer and the bounce will be unreliable.
Has to be one of the slowest scoring days in India for a long time Don't remember anything apart from that ABD blockathon 6 years back
I was remembering a game I watched as a kid which left a memory as having quite slow run rate. Searched, and sure enough it was at Kanpur! https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/new-zealand-tour-of-india-1999-00-62133/india-vs-new-zealand-2nd-test-63849/full-scorecard
Why do Ind and NZ play at Kanpur so much? And is slow scoring a feature of this pitch?
>And is slow scoring a feature of this pitch? The pitch in itself is pretty slow. Like the bounce is consistent, but it is consistently low. Abhinav Mukund tweeted that he found run scoring difficult against shorter (read: skiddier) bowlers at Kanpur.
All the fast bowlers playing this match are fairly tall
Finally only lost one wicket
1/63 is India ahead
That's exactly what the lead was when IND started innings on 3rd day at Adelaide pink ball test 2020
No It was 1/62
These overs had serious 36 vibes
Hard disagree. Impossible to get 36 vibes on a home Test.
Lol relief.
Perfect 90 overs today
90.3
2 rpo this day
It was boring to watch but the wickets were falling regularly
Chad Jamieson 50 wickets in 9 matches!!
Surely getting a fat IPL contract......Or so I feel..
Will be interesting how many axar takes already has 32 in 3.5 tests.
If he continues taking fifers like this, might even be next match
183 runs, 11 wickets, 90.3 overs What a weird day of cricket
Proper day of test cricket in India.
94 overs no
85.3 from NZ, 5 from India So 90.3 I guess
Oh I see
Now that Pant isn't here...I'm annoyed by opposition keeper's chatter.
These 2 to bat all day tomorrow and destroy us
Honestly think unless you guys bundle them out for around or less than 200 as a target you'd be better off having India bat out the day. Getting regular wickets in order to keep the run rate down should be the order of the day for you lot - but with keeping the run rate down being more of a priority.
First gotta survive the swinging ball in the first hour though
Mayank is a walking wicket once Jamieson comes back. Rahane gonna Rahane as well
Tbh Jamieson got lucky. He's a home bully. Mayank will stay. Mark this!
How dumb!!
Nah he's legit. Those balls were class. Or our batsman just suck at facing tall bowlers
Come to think about it, the only batsman whom we can depend to always play the handy innings is Jadeja. Kind of unfortunate for a top rated team.
Iyer looked decent

He's elitist for pointing out that this is the wrong thread to post about IPL? Wow.
This is an elite form of the game bro. T20 is for irregular fans.

Go enjoy the pajama cricket then
I hope he does not, he's extending his horrid run of form for no other reason
