Another flop show by Team India

I think there were three main reasons to lose, 1. I feel this team has already departed since england tour and still some disputes are going on.. 2. Team always facing australians cheating based unfair appeals and umpires always go for their sides.. 3. Team selection is very poor, Kohli is useless in the team. instead R.Sharma,C.Pujara or S.Raina would be better choice. I believe these reasons according my opinion as my view..

I wouldn't call it a "flop show". Your bowlers were sensational to topple our top order batsmen very quickly. Our own three-pronged bowling attack was amazing to watch & out-performed all expectations. One cannot blame it on the pitch this time, as the grounds, they said, equally favoured both batsmen & bowlers. There was huge support for India at the stadium - The Swarmi Army I think they called it. The body paint was certainly "out there". It was a good game to watch in some excellent weather & there were some excellent displays from both sides. Let's hope we see fewer injuries & we can all see some great performances from now on.

Every One say world strong batting line up fail to chage the target of 292 runs where player who scoor more than 15000 runs in international level, My friends say the team india has perform like a club cricket team... Hope in the next Test match they perform very well as compare to this defeat..

This sequence of poor starts to tours is becoming embarrassing. For some reason, India always seems to lose the first match in any series. Then they do make a comeback in the second or third test, but by then they are only fighting to save the series. The same thing seems to have stuck again. This was a great chance for them to win the match. It was in their grasp in the third morning. They simply let it slip away from them with poor batting from there on!! Cheers! Ram

Truth is that INDIAN always underpeform. No baoy can say whether will beat or not. It is totaltly unpredictable from team INDIA thier performance. From the beginning to now you would have seen that they had lost the match which were in favour of them and won which are against them. Team INDIA man in blue is purely unpredictable. I can tell where they did the things wrong. 1. In the first inning they let Austrailia passed 300 didn't get out the tails easily. 2. First inning score was very good untill the sachin got out. Three of the batsmen, Laxman, Dhoni and Kholi didn't added anything to the score. It was Aswin who added few runs else lead would have been much more. Tails we can't aspect them to play but they also played poorly. 3.In second inning when Australia was struggling it was not possible for them to cross the score of 200. Bowlers let them score 240. Why can' they get off the tails? 4. Second inning batsmen get in the cell and they feel pressure of chasing a huge amount of runs. No body from beginning try to play good. All were just going to get out. It was funny to see that crossed the score of 150. Well 179 is not enough . If Team INDIA can't beat thier weak Austrailian team then they never going to win any series in Australia. I hope like other that they will perform better in 2012 but it is truly unpredictable their performance.

Hello vishalssgk , what makes me confused is that, if Aswin can score 61 runs in total, why the specialized batsmen can't ! Let us hope India will come back to the series the coming matches. India usually have a tendency to loss in the first match and to come back with more power. But, during the England series it was all gone .

I understand you feelings vishalssgk. Yeah it was very disappointing match. So called strong batting line up fell to inexperienced Australian bowling attack but credit must be given to Australian bowlers, they have bowled to a line which Indian batsmen do not like. So, this match is one more poor one for team India. In this match the turning point was in the first innings where India were 200 odd with lost of 3 wickets from there they just collapsed for 282. After this many chances were given to Hussey and Ponting which allowed them to score 240 runs. But the worst part is India's second innings. It is hard for India to come back in the series from here on.

Yeah definitely Indian bowlers have did everything they can and restricted Australia below 300. It was gettable for the classy Indian batsmen but they didn't showed any kind of responsibility and in my opinion they are are the only responsible for this loss. In the coming tests of course the batsmen has to perform well.

another misery for team india, i do not know when they are going to learn from the past mistakes they do this everytime. now what next we have 3 matches ahead of this and in australia this is going to be the most difficult task intresting to see what is going to be the dhoni strategy for rest of the games.
