Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self

If Australia's top or middle order doesn't perform well, it's most probably game-over for them in my opinion.

Don't forget our own top-middle order lol

They are not in good nick either. Rohit only played 1 match winning knock, Gill is a replacement but he needs to grab an opportunity with both hands. Pujara looked way too good in the last inning but he needs to repeat this in the next match. Kohli is just making Pikachu face, every time he gets out. Iyer also needs to take responsibility.

The Indore pitch got 3 demerit points from ICC and was stated of poor quality which did not offer a good competition between bat and bowl. I think it's pretty much correct considering how short the match lasted it was too skewed for spinners ball not coming on the bat at all. I don't mind pitches favouring spinners or pacers but matches should alteast last till 4th day always on international level. That's the whole point of a test match. Pitch is first two matches was still fine as some or the other team managed to bat for some time atleast but this time both teams struggled badly.

It is not about the pitch. Just think of the performance coming from the Indian batters. Whatever the demerits, the home players should've the better understanding and perform well. Here everything took place in the opposite way with Australia playing well against the home team. All that required is the pressure free game, Australia in its second innings have scored 78 runs losing a wicket. They didn't had any pressure and it is already known the match is theirs.
