8 wickets in one session? WTF? Are you kidding me? I mean seriously. :tears: :tears:. I'm heartbroken. This match deserved a draw, no way Aus deserved the victory, got lucky with Vijay's wicket. So damn lucky. Absolutely sickening way to get out. What a pathetic and totally undeserved break for the Aussies esp that excessive appealing mug Lyon.

Virat Kohli played one of the greatest test innings of all time only to lose by 48 runs because of senseless choking. Why god why. Why is life so fucking unfair?!? :tears: :tears:

Ahhh words can't describe how awful I'm feeling right now. Sudden collapse. Heartbreak AS PER USUAL against the disgusting excessive appealing-sledging Australians. Why does India always suffer heartbreak vs Austalia esp in Australia? God is this painful pattern ever gonna end?

SIGH there are days you wish you weren't born. This loss hurts like hell

You can always start watching some other sports when Cricket sucks, like Football (american), NBA, nomsayin?

Just a shot in the dark, but maybe because Australia is always better than India.

I love curling. It is so breathtakingly fast and skilful compared to cricket.

Test Cricket>>most other sport

India always choke hard in AUssie land, then again you guys should be glad, at least you have your wins on the subcontinent to keep you content :lol:

 

[leng jai]

I haven't followed cricket much since Mark Waugh retired but it always seems like Australia is the recipient of the most ridiculous chokes.

Same with England, they usually get obliterated down under, and do much better at home.
Beating India in India though is as difficult, on a par with how difficult India finds it to win down here.
I'm glad I got to see Sachin Tendulkar's last innings at the SCG though, he is a legend.

Always welcome to support the Indian team mang.

Aussies are better in Aus conditions but there have been quite a few instances where India should've won but were undone by bad umpiring. Yea I know that sounds like sour grapes but I'm calling it as I see it. :shrug:

:lol: I see what you did there bud. It's just been my longtime wish that India win a test series in Australia. That's all I really want in cricket as an Indian fan.

Haven't seen the great Australian team of Steve Waugh or Ponting's invincibles? That was a great time to be an Aussie

Mark Waugh was such a beautiful batsman, so easy on the eye. Damien Martyn too, wonder if you've seen him.

Let me tell you - I'm an Indian and I've seen Sachin play live and some of the other great Australians like Ponting but I've never seen a more beautiful player LIVE than Damien Martyn. God he was just gorgeous.

I'm just venting mate, don't mind me. Just heartbroken that India couldn't pull it out yesterday after Kohli's magnificent innings.

But I love how the Aussies love and respect Sachin , watching Sachin get standing ovations in Australia is one of my fondest memories of an era I grew up in. That must've been a special moment for you to watch Sachin's last innings.

Look I love that the Aussies play their cricket hard and they play positive cricket. It makes for exciting cricket and they're leaders of the sport. But I didn't like Ponting's ways, though he's one of the greatest batsmen of all time. I've read reports that Aussies didn't like Ponting as much too. :shrug:

Did you watch the match mate? What did you make out of it?

Damien Martyn was a poor man's Mark Waugh. I remember Martyn's career was derailed by a string of poor umpiring decisions.

Cricket is a gentleman's game, the SCG crowd have great cricket knowledge, and show the utmost respect to the opposition.
I've been following cricket since the 80's, back in the day that the West Indies were almost unbeatable with their 4 pronged pace attack, and then batsmen like Viv Richards, Desmond Haynes et al.
I did not see a lot of the Adelaide Test match, but kept in tune with the scores.
My young fellow watched nearly the whole thing (finished school for the year), and it went right down to the wire according to him.
Look forward to the next one.
