After Adelaide test every commentator was saying that this is Australia's best bowling quartet ever, and after Brisbane test.....PITCH DIDN'T HELP ???!!! SERIOUSLY!!!???
@@sushmadevi3152 they lost because Indian batsmen got the better of them. Pat Cummins is the only bowler in their side who is a threat in every country
Gilly is a wise cricketer and great human being. Surely among one of the most loved Australian criketer in India. Reagarding Lyon, I personally think he bowled brilliantly, it's just that Indians played him really well.
India played i think may be by looking at australian strengths before Gabba test match may be and that solving issues may be to break Jinx of losing in Brisbane was may be determined india did according to plans may be so that india break Jinx of losing in Brisbane i think may be
*one big thing Gilly missed* Pitches were playable on Day 5, but the credit should go to Indian batsmen and blame should go to Aus bowling attack. If Day 5 pitch was too easy to play then how did Siraj and Shardul go through entire Aussie team on Day 4?? both of them barely had any experience among them. And this was the situation after Aussies won 3 tosses, if india had won even one of the those 3 tosses, that match would have been totally one sided. Imagine if India got to bat on Day1 in Gabba, Aussies had bowled 131 overs at the end of Sydney test, if put to bowl again they would have conceded 400+ runs!!
Respect gilli, but Tim won the last 3 tosses. Which is one more thing that makes this series the stuff of dreams. I think it’s unfair to keep saying the the pitches didn’t deteriorate, that they were 2nd and 3rd day pitches when 1) your bowlers bowled badly & 2) the captain of all men drops catches. The aussies weren’t good enough, Lyon is overrated, Starc is erratic, and Hazelwood isn’t Waqar Younis. You just can’t rely on Smith the batsman and Cummins the bowler.
I agree with most of your points except (1) Lyon is overrated. He's not. In fact, he remains one of the World's best and UNDER-RATED bowlers. Throughout the series, Lyon was undone by his thick-headed and pompous captain. Almost EVERY crucial catch Paine dropped that would have been a Turning Point in the game was off Lyon's bowling. Moreover, Lyon has always bowled well across the world and no player has genuinely dominated him. So its unfair to say he is overrated. (2) Waqar Younis is NOT a great benchmark for comparison. To be honest, I rate .... Akram, Akthar, Aamir as far far better bowlers than him. Please look at his bowling trend. As soon as BALL TAMPERING started getting scrutinized heavily, his vicious in-swinging toe-crusher yorkers almost immediately disappeared ! Anyway, these are just my personal opinions and not trying to enter into any debate. For the record, you are completely entitled to your own opinion and I respect it.
So whenever India lose,we only praise the opposition?And our commentators and experts never say they expected more from so and so? Use your head. .it wasan excellent analysis after reading the crap from guys like deep dasgupta and others.
Congrats to the young Indian team for their historic & heroic victory as they majestically rose from the ashes. Gilchrist was a class act as a player and is a class act as a human.
One thing I learned from this podcast is that cricket experts all around the world learn from harsha Bhogle's wealth of cricket knowledge and just his aura and aesthetic way of putting things. Truly, he is the most artistic commentator out there right now
With all due credits to this great Indian team. 1) when an inexperianced less talented UNKNOWN team A plays a good TEAM B . Most probable result is TEAM B wins 2) when a inexperienced good talented UNKNOWN TEAM A plays a good TEAM B. Team A will win most probably. With teams relying so much on DATA to build thier game strategies... this indian team is full of surprises from the game plan stand point for Australia. the whole bunch of this incredible Indian players were relatively UNKNOWN from test data perspective.
Hmmm which side? Never thought too much about that. I was just impressed with his natural fluency and choice of words - I would not mind having that talent.
The level of language isn't difficult to achieve if it's your native tongue. The hard part is the eloquence and clarity - that comes over time with incessant speaking practice. Try to do a jockey's job over radio for a month, you'll notice significant improvement in your vocal skills. Our everyday conversations don't help because they are mostly fragmented words and incomplete sentences; infused with too much slang and colloquialism.
This was Just India were having Better bowlers than Aussies as well Aussies Just thought easy walkover for them when they saw India were without Top Players playing..
Gilly - You are my The Favourite Wicktekeeper batsmen, but I disagree with you on this is The Greatest Win. Show me one match where handicaps rise to the occasion & turn the series tables from 36 down. Please show me it's a challenge. If you can't accept that's show you are blind ego maniac & can't accept the fact that Indians can pull something extraordinary like this. Man up Gilly.
Australia is a true sport loving country. Not many countries can be so open hearted in their appreciation of a opponent team. I was truly struck by how admiring even young Australian kids of this Indian team’s performance. I must say my admiration for the Australian spirit has grown many fold.
If the aussies blame the pitch for the loss, i am sorry that argument doesn't stand. The aussie bowlers were meant to take 20 wickets on their home pitches and this was a home series for them not away!! A quartret of bowlers with over 1000 wickets was overshadowed by a group from india who have less than 50 wickets with two of them who made their debut in the test. It is the depth of the Indian team and the outstanding India A program which gives the closest prep to international teams for all those players who are in the squad. You couldn't expect someone like a shardul thakur picking up 7 wickets and score 67 runs in a test in the 2000's and early 2010's on his first proper full test match home or away. Give credit where it is due! No need to be a sour patch and blame the pitches when you have total control over them! Accept the defeat, give the opponents their due share of praise and move forward!
If this was not the greatest series win ever, then please tell me which one is? And what did that ‘greatest’ series win have that this series win did not? Let’s catch some bias.
The greatest Test Series ever was India vs Australia in 2001. It was the greatest Australian side ever (on a 16 match winning streak) against an India reeling from the effects of players being banned for match fixing under a new captain. India lost the first match in Mumbai by an innings but came back to win the next match in Kolkata after following on (second time in a 200 years of test cricket) whilst trailing by 350 runs but scoring 680 in the 2nd and then bowling out the Aussies for 212. Post which India also won in Chennai in similar circumstances to eventually win the series by 2-1. Let me reiterate that this was the greatest Australian side in history led by Steve Waugh having the likes of Warne, McGrath, Gillespie, Langer, Hayden Gilchrist amongst others (A team of champions) on a 16 match winning streak after winning in Mumbai. That to me is the greatest Test series of all time. It is probably not remembered across media in Australia and England due to Ashes 2005, but where else would you find an underdog coming back to win a test match and then the series after following on against the greatest Test side ever assembled ?
@@diptarshis - Some good points there you made, however, also remember that 1. Indian team had names like Sachin, Dravid, Ganguly, Laxman, Zaheer-which was not the case this time around. In fact, this time around we did not even have the 2nd tier team. 2. Home team always has an automatic advantage due to conditions and pitches-this was even more true back in 2001 days. For e.g. Having our fast bowlers do well in Aussie conditions (like this time) is bigger than Bhajji doing well in our own backyard. Also note that even the greatest fast bowling attack in India (in 2001) is not as lethal as the same type of attack in Australian pitches-which is what India faced this time around. 3. Being bowled out for a mere 36 and then escaping from that definite loss in Sydney, and then winning the almost lost game in The Gabba-was no less than winning after a follow-on, if not greater. So in that regards, 2001 and 2021 can be evened out. In the end, at least the conditions were in our favor in 2001. At least, we had the best possible team from the available members in 2001. At least, there was no soul crushing 36 all out in 2001. This time around, you could not come up with a single reason why India should win the series after 36 all out. Back then you had a few things to hang on to at least-such as conditions and big names in the playing XI.
@@jigarp999 Names like Laxman, Dravid were not household names in 2001 ( Not atleast before that series ). Zaheer Khan was a good bowler, not a great bowler. There were players like Venkatapathy Raju, Shiv Sundar Das, Sameer Dighe (debut), Sairaj Bahutule (debut) in that squad along with Harbhajan Singh who was playing only his 5th or 6th test and on the verge of quitting cricket to go drive trucks in Canada. The miracle of surviving follow on and winning, the miracle of a rookie spinner on the verge of quitting being the first Indian to take a hat-trick in tests (and then going on to take 30 wickets in the series and winning Man of the Series award), a relative newcomer to the squad scoring 281 against possibly the greatest spin bowlers and swing bowlers of all time far supercede the miracle of winning after scoring 36 all out abroad. The points working in your favour are - 36 all out, Overseas, 2nd string squad debilitated by injuries. The points working in my favour are - Really bad squad condition and a weak squad depth (demoralised squad who had lost to Pakistan and South Africa that year, suffering from the match fixing scandal), losing comprehensively against the greatest team in history in the first test, coming back after being made to follow on against the greatest team in history with a 16 match winning streak, Winning again in the decider with only 1 fast bowler with the Rookie spinner taking 30 wickets in total. Finally, please do not refer to home conditions as an advantage as India did not have Anil Kumble for that series who was the only great spinner in that squad at the time. We had spinners like Harbhajan (playing his 5th or 6th match), Raju, Bahutule (debut). Others like Zaheer, Agarkar and Srinath were either good (not great) or relative new comers. Also note that the impact of that team in 2001 was incredible. It attracted sponsors made cricketers household names and put India onto the next level since then.
@@diptarshis - This time around India was defeated by SA, Eng, NZ before Aus tour and so I don’t believe that the team of 2001 was any more demoralized than this one. The playing XI in 2001 series were fairly stable and did not have a new XI playing in every game like this time around. A new combination every game and on top of that having players injured during the test match (not before) is like playing with half the squad. At least, 2001 team had all players fit during the play and there weren’t this many forced changes after every game. So to sum it up -If you were to put on paper the XI that played in 2001 vs the XI in Gabba before the game in Gabba begun, most will agree that 2001 Indian side was much stronger. The chance of 2001 Indian team bouncing back from any situation IN India was much greater than this Indian team bouncing back after 36 all out IN Aus. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree, but anyways, always good to have a meaningful and respectful conversation vs. having a swearing match. Cheers.
It was like last man standing with all the body blows ..Rocky style ....Jokes apart let's give credit where it's due...Kudos to Virat Kohli for making this team so fierce that every individual takes a lot of pride in their performance .....
Australia played fairly well, they had the best bowling attack.The best batting attack as well.India on the other hand had a new set of players who had almost no exposure to International cricket.The confidence that the young guys have is amazing.They fought hard to prove that they will not give up when the "going gets tough".Win or loose Aus vs India is always interesting. Huge fan of Gilcrist.He is admired all over.The best team wins.This must be the spirit with sport
Gilly has more knowledge on cricket & life in general than many stalwarts of Fox & Seven. Also he is the most gentle sportsperson - He does co-operative, respecting & equal discussion with female co-commentators.
Brave effort from a inexperienced Indian side wasnt it. Respects to Gilly. Weve truly won the hearts n minds of Aussies thank u my friends in Australia. Australians were good but our Indian boys were much better n outplayed the much experienced Aussie side. We were without biggies like Kohli KL Rahul Ishant Sharma Bhumbra Shami n still we won. For me this is the best overseas victory for India n for every Indian n Australian it was a shocker too. Hello n hi 5 to Adam Gilchrist from Sam India.
Adam Gilchrist: great comments. Great sportsman. This series (ODI + T20 capped by the Tests) was stunning with its dramatic highs, lows and number of cricketers involved - perhaps an all-time record considering the number of players India used!!
None of what gilchrist said was not happy. He was very lost for the words. He doesn't want to talk about being outplayed. Be happy gilly. The better team has won. Although he got lots of opportunities to play in IPL and be able to do other things in India has not opened him up much.
This victory stands apart. Before this test they, the Indians had almost chased down the 400 runs target in the third test. So it is almost a repeat of the third test, but here they chased the target. Definitely after the ball tampering episode the morale of the Aussies has taken a beating. They are no longer considered invincible. They are stripped of that auea.
Gilly, the forever diplomatic. Takes so many pauses to answer in circles for something simple. The most awesome batsman to watch but the most boring person for a Podcast. I would rather listen to audio of rain drops.
Trust me we Indians would have lost heart and would have cursed our players if we had played full strength and lost to a weaker side at home ... Aussies are class apart when it comes to appreciating good cricket of opponents...
I think that name is only to represent that it was not the first or even the second choice team. Don't be too sentimental about it. What's wrong in him being an Aussie being biased towards the Aussies. Sanjay Manjrekar was vilified for not being pro-India all the time. Double standards?
@@salludalian2005 yeah that's true but if u listened to the commentary it was mostly one sided too.....not something you would expect for the majority hearing it from the other side of the world
All aussies are shellshocked - they have just lost 2 in a row. It will take decades to understand that you can’t bully a team to submission, to behave less partisan in the commentary box. Heck, I still can’t believe that for such a massive series as this, they could get no Indian presence in the box (I’m discounting 5 mins of harsha). Time again, it was Isa Guha v the rest. The commentary actually became comical and pathetic on the last day of the series.
Bro why are you making such videos ? Why we can’t see Adam and Mitchell You should emphasize on presenting these videos with live conversation with video too
Australia played the same set of bowlers last series 2017-18 and this series too... India had faced Cummins, Hazlewood, Starc and Lyon for thousands of overs and that is where Australian team selection made a mistake. They should have bought in Jhye Richardson for Starc who was clearly out of form. They are saying Lyon didnt bowl at his best which is unfair cos it was Tim Payne who missed all those crucial catches and stumpings off Lyon. In a nutshell Tim Payne had a poor series as a keeper and it cost Australia the series. Having said that Well Done Rahane and Young India👍👍👍👌👌👌
Yeah. NZ eng bought Jamieson Curran and they did major damage. Curran robbed 2 games from India and Jamieson had big impact. I wonder if aus go with same bowling line up in coming ashes. But this quartet has been amazing though....I'm sure they will bring their best in ashes.
Paine missed Pant in Sydney and Brisbane he made them pay. Paine has to go sorry. 5 continued to be a problem for Australia. Warner was not right entire series.
India always had a good team But they payed for their own personal glory like Tendulkar and this team played as a group !! Pujara Rahane ashwin Bumrah are selfless players!!
@@sagitariusa8962 No one denies he's a great player - and he was also incredibly selfish, especially towards the end of good career. Remember how he refused to tour Australia because he wanted to play his last test in Mumbai so his mommy could watch him play? It put a massive blot on his entire career.
Yeah why not? 10 other players dont score and play their part, we blame the one guy who scored runs irrespective or opposition and country. Pujara scores 50 and others play their part with 90s and unbeaten 80s and win the game and he is is selfless. Rahane scores 1 100 in a 4 game series and doesnt get another 50 across 6 innings, he is selfless. I guess, scoring runs is selfish. If only games are won by getting out cheaply.
India lost toss Ind have lot of challenges with key players injuries Very low experience bowlers in aus soil ...don't give bull shit reasons like pitch didn't help, aus bowlers not bowled well... Only credit to Indian team...
@Andrew Belcroft You know nothing. Come out of your imagination. As australian crowd you applauded our spirit and I appreciate that but your cricket legends dont want to give complete credit to Indian players but keep finding pity reasons for Australian loss. Your team is not the best anymore, digest that fact. And about our love for the team? have no doubts, we love our heroes. No one is stoning anybody's house. I will look at the mirror mate but you wake up from your imagination first... 🤣🤣🤣
@Andrew Belcroft see there it is.. You are still in your dreams. Far away from reality and not able to accept your defeat. Stop hating Indians mate. Stop cooking up stories.

@@diptarshis absolutely agree with you 👍
What Australian bowlers missed was reverse swing, that’s it, none of their bowlers were swinging it in
Or the sand paper 😉
@@henapra hat
Reverse swing has never been seen after Cape Town
It was like last man standing with all the body blows ..Rocky style ....Jokes apart let's give credit where it's due...Kudos to Virat Kohli for making this team so fierce that every individual takes a lot of pride in their performance .....
Australia played fairly well, they had the best bowling attack.The best batting attack as well.India on the other hand had a new set of players who had almost no exposure to International cricket.The confidence that the young guys have is amazing.They fought hard to prove that they will not give up when the "going gets tough".Win or loose Aus vs India is always interesting. Huge fan of Gilcrist.He is admired all over.The best team wins.This must be the spirit with sport
Gilly has more knowledge on cricket & life in general than many stalwarts of Fox & Seven. Also he is the most gentle sportsperson - He does co-operative, respecting & equal discussion with female co-commentators.
Brave effort from a inexperienced Indian side wasnt it. Respects to Gilly. Weve truly won the hearts n minds of Aussies thank u my friends in Australia. Australians were good but our Indian boys were much better n outplayed the much experienced Aussie side. We were without biggies like Kohli KL Rahul Ishant Sharma Bhumbra Shami n still we won. For me this is the best overseas victory for India n for every Indian n Australian it was a shocker too. Hello n hi 5 to Adam Gilchrist from Sam India.
Adam Gilchrist: great comments. Great sportsman. This series (ODI + T20 capped by the Tests) was stunning with its dramatic highs, lows and number of cricketers involved - perhaps an all-time record considering the number of players India used!!
Wait a minute !
Did he say burn effigies 🤔
I never knew that happens in Australia 🙄
Vinod Menon it doesn’t happen here , this is civilised nation !
@@vrajeshparikh4163 Lol
Twice in row with or without warner Smith you can't beat us Indians 🇮🇳
With kohli without kohli
Aussies should start playing cricket rather than SLEDGING 😂🤣
Yes really
Greg chappell statement that if India get there act together they can be unbeatable we will now just wait and watch
It’s for every team in any sports nothing special about it
@Andrew Belcroft Say that again? xD
None of what gilchrist said was not happy. He was very lost for the words. He doesn't want to talk about being outplayed. Be happy gilly. The better team has won. Although he got lots of opportunities to play in IPL and be able to do other things in India has not opened him up much.
He is an Aussie ,he should be down. As we should be when we lose something. The similarity Between us is that we love cricket very much.
Gilly is a true great of the game!
This victory stands apart. Before this test they, the Indians had almost chased down the 400 runs target in the third test. So it is almost a repeat of the third test, but here they chased the target. Definitely after the ball tampering episode the morale of the Aussies has taken a beating. They are no longer considered invincible. They are stripped of that auea.
Gilchrist clearly is biting his lips to not be able to accept and acknowledge what happened.
Gilly, the forever diplomatic. Takes so many pauses to answer in circles for something simple. The most awesome batsman to watch but the most boring person for a Podcast. I would rather listen to audio of rain drops.
India is at the top bolteeeeee 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Test cricket has own
Australia to England
Hum bhi pele gaye the tum bhi pele jaoge🔥😂😂
Trust me we Indians would have lost heart and would have cursed our players if we had played full strength and lost to a weaker side at home ... Aussies are class apart when it comes to appreciating good cricket of opponents...
aus earned lot of money through ths series...Well Done Team India
Gilchrist is no nice man he is just another Aussie being an Aussie just can't accept they got beaten by a better team they have to name it B C team
I think that name is only to represent that it was not the first or even the second choice team. Don't be too sentimental about it. What's wrong in him being an Aussie being biased towards the Aussies. Sanjay Manjrekar was vilified for not being pro-India all the time. Double standards?
@@salludalian2005 🙏
@@anmolkabra638 🙏
@@salludalian2005 yeah that's true but if u listened to the commentary it was mostly one sided too.....not something you would expect for the majority hearing it from the other side of the world
All aussies are shellshocked - they have just lost 2 in a row. It will take decades to understand that you can’t bully a team to submission, to behave less partisan in the commentary box. Heck, I still can’t believe that for such a massive series as this, they could get no Indian presence in the box (I’m discounting 5 mins of harsha). Time again, it was Isa Guha v the rest. The commentary actually became comical and pathetic on the last day of the series.
Bro why are you making such videos ?
Why we can’t see Adam and Mitchell
You should emphasize on presenting these videos with live conversation with video too
Australia played the same set of bowlers last series 2017-18 and this series too... India had faced Cummins, Hazlewood, Starc and Lyon for thousands of overs and that is where Australian team selection made a mistake. They should have bought in Jhye Richardson for Starc who was clearly out of form. They are saying Lyon didnt bowl at his best which is unfair cos it was Tim Payne who missed all those crucial catches and stumpings off Lyon. In a nutshell Tim Payne had a poor series as a keeper and it cost Australia the series. Having said that Well Done Rahane and Young India👍👍👍👌👌👌
Yeah. NZ eng bought Jamieson Curran and they did major damage. Curran robbed 2 games from India and Jamieson had big impact. I wonder if aus go with same bowling line up in coming ashes. But this quartet has been amazing though....I'm sure they will bring their best in ashes.
All said in Hindsight
Poor fielding denied this series among the one of best.
I totally disagree with gilly because this is the best series of all time
Gilly is one of the nicest Australian cricketers. I never liked Australian cricket team bcoz of cocky characters.
What is the name of the podcast?
Please upload with actual video.
Paine missed Pant in Sydney and Brisbane he made them pay. Paine has to go sorry. 5 continued to be a problem for Australia. Warner was not right entire series.
Where do I get these podcast on Google podcast?
Nothing New, As Usual old Australian sour crying after losing.
India always had a good team
But they payed for their own personal glory like Tendulkar and this team played as a group !! Pujara Rahane ashwin Bumrah are selfless players!!
Oh yes, the runs Tendulkar scored went to his account, they weren't added to the team total. What a selfish player indeed.
@@sagitariusa8962 No one denies he's a great player - and he was also incredibly selfish, especially towards the end of good career. Remember how he refused to tour Australia because he wanted to play his last test in Mumbai so his mommy could watch him play? It put a massive blot on his entire career.
@@echochamber8350 What alternate universe was India going to tour Australia after Windies at home?
Yeah why not? 10 other players dont score and play their part, we blame the one guy who scored runs irrespective or opposition and country. Pujara scores 50 and others play their part with 90s and unbeaten 80s and win the game and he is is selfless. Rahane scores 1 100 in a 4 game series and doesnt get another 50 across 6 innings, he is selfless. I guess, scoring runs is selfish. If only games are won by getting out cheaply.
@@jakkammadasku Before. Not after. 😀
India lost toss
Ind have lot of challenges with key players injuries
Very low experience bowlers in aus soil
...don't give bull shit reasons like pitch didn't help, aus bowlers not bowled well...
Only credit to Indian team...
Starc has to go. Payne has to go. Garry gotta go. Wanker Warner bye mate.
Lol
Australians still cant digest defeat!!!
@Andrew Belcroft I guess you live a parallel world brother
@Andrew Belcroft You know nothing. Come out of your imagination. As australian crowd you applauded our spirit and I appreciate that but your cricket legends dont want to give complete credit to Indian players but keep finding pity reasons for Australian loss. Your team is not the best anymore, digest that fact. And about our love for the team? have no doubts, we love our heroes. No one is stoning anybody's house. I will look at the mirror mate but you wake up from your imagination first... 🤣🤣🤣
@Andrew Belcroft see there it is.. You are still in your dreams. Far away from reality and not able to accept your defeat. Stop hating Indians mate. Stop cooking up stories.
@@bhayya007 even Indians cannot mdigest semi final loss to kiwis they say it's because of rain
