Prior to today, Indian cricket had only one test series whitewash at home in its entire history. Now, it has 2 in 12 months— if this isn’t the lowest point in Indian cricket then don’t know what is. The need of the hour is for the custodians of the game to put their heads

Gautam Gambhir on his future as coach: “That’s up to the BCCI to decide. Indian cricket is important, I am not important. Don’t forget that I’m the same guy under whom we drew in England, won champions trophy, won Asia Cup”

Shukri Conrad’s ‘grovel’ comment can best be classified as a sledge. Not to be compared to Tony Greig’s 1976 comment— different times, different context. Calling the latest utterance insulting or racist is a classic piece of overstatement.

India can’t chase 500– not enough time nor does the batting inspire any confidence. What does SA gain from continuing to bat? They may very well be confident that 3 sessions are enough to get 10 wickets, but why not grab 4 sessions when you can afford it.

India have been guilty of thinking too far ahead into this test match— score quick, take lead, put pressure etc. When ideal approach would have been to play it session by session and aim at closing in on 489 first. 3 days was a long time. Events unfold rapidly in the last 2 days.

SA reached 489 following all the key tenets of test match batting- patients, grind and defence followed by attack. India wants to get there on optimism, good vibes and aura.

As fine a 100 as this is by Travis Head, but once Australia were set only 205 to win, there was very little doubt that in improving pitch conditions the home team wouldn’t chase it. In that sense this win in Perth can largely be attributed to the Aussies bowlers who scuttled
