Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

On the other hand, On day 3 Afganistan couldn't perform well from the beginning but a few times later Rahamat Shah earned 139 runs from 275 balls and Afganistan collected 291/7. And the total lead for Afganistan is 205 runs. I hope Afghanistan left the innings from 250+ runs.

Afghanistan has already taken a decent lead in this match. Now they are favourite to win the match. I was thinking that they will take a lead of 100 runs maximum as they were losing the wickets continuously. But the 6th and 7th wicket partnership has turned the game in their favour now. 250+ runs lead will almost ensure the victory for Afghanistan. The pitch doesn't really looks good for batting.

You are right. Afghanistan has already taken a big lead. Afghanistan has lost 7 wickets and has been able to take a lead of 205 runs. Considering the condition of the pitch, it can be called a big collection. Because it is difficult to make a big collection in the last innings on this pitch. Also, the performance of Zimbabwean players is very erratic. It cannot be said for sure whether Zimbabwean batsmen will be able to bat well in the last innings.

Afghanistan must thank Rahmat Shah. Rahmat Shah's innings of 139 runs has made this match competitive again. And Afghanistan also has a big chance of winning. Apart from Rahmat Shah, Ismat Alam has batted well. Ismat has scored 64 runs. Ismat and Rashid will start the next day. Both are quite experienced.

Pakistan can somehow score 400 then that would be a big achievement for them.

Yes. I agree with you. If Pakistan collects 400+ runs then it will be the biggest achievement for Pakistan. On the other hand, On day 3 Afganistan couldn't perform well from the beginning but a few times later Rahamat Shah earned 139 runs from 275 balls and Afganistan collected 291/7. And the total lead for Afganistan is 205 runs. I hope Afghanistan left the innings from 250+ runs.

Ismat Alam has already scored a good score and he is definitely set on the pitch so there is a chance of him getting a century. Rashid Khan will also try. If these two players can bat for a long time then there is a possibility of this score being 300+. And if the score goes to that level then Afghanistan has a great chance of winning this Test. But it is not certain because we saw in the first Test that Afghanistan set a score of 699 and Zimbabwe scored 586. But overall I see another win for Afghanistan in this Test.

South Africa vs Pakistan, 2nd Test at Cape Town. South Africa collect a huge score for Pakistan to win. To chase the score of 616 runs on day 2 Pakistan already lost top order batsman. Ryan Ricklton did 259 runs from 343 balls including 29 fours and 3 sixes, Temba Bavuma 106 from 179 balls, and Kyle Verreynne got 100 from 147 balls. For their outstanding batting South Africa got a winning figure with Pakistan. Other hand, Pakistan is playing on the field right now. Pakistan already lost 3 top order batsmen to collect 20 in total then left 3 major wickets. It's a shame for Pakistan. I think Pakistan can't grow up to 200 + runs.

Pakistan in terrible position in second test. South African batsmen scored runs freely while the Pakistani bowlers were helplessly watching them scoring runs. Seems like South Africa will win this test too and march towards WTC final by doing a whitewash in this test series. The only hope left for Pakistan is Babar and Rizwan, if they both can score runs then Pakistan might avoid follow-on and draw the test. Keeping in view the present form of Babar Azam, it seems difficult that he will score some runs at this critical time. 

Lack of leadership moral is also down, and we have too much internal politics involved, so I have strong feeling most chances Pakistan will lose this match by huge margin and also will have last spot in WTC league table because nothing positive happening we have good bowlers but sadly no one giving them proper guideline with inexperience which is favoring team like South Africa, and now they are having good chance of going through with big win.
We have one double century and two centuries for South Africa while we have 4 bowlers for Pakistan with 100+ runs conceded by them its now regular work for them due to poor coaching.

No doubt the Pakistani team is facing a lot of problems and challenges, but we can't be sad, there is still hope, and we may see some changes in the team for their next matches. Now, Pakistan is doing very poorly, and Babar and Rizwan are not players who can be trusted because their performance has dropped. Chasing such a huge target is very hard, and they already lost one match. In the second match, the target is high, which we will obviously lose, but we never expected such performance from the team. Let's see what is happening, maybe after the loss of this match, the Pakistan team will realize their mistakes, and in the next matches, they will do something better.

Afghanistan players are batting very badly in the second test match. The team had to score only 157 runs in the first innings. Zimbabwe has managed to take a decent lead. And in the second innings too we are not seeing a good performance from the Afghanistan players. The Afghanistan team has scored 46 runs and lost 3 wickets. SIkandar Raza and Muzarbani are also able to bowl well in the second innings.

Zimbabwe managed to score 243 runs in the first innings. The team was able to take a lead of 86 runs. And Zimbabwe is still ahead by 40 runs. Looking at the batting of the Afghan players, it does not seem that they will be able to score big in the second innings. Afghanistan will probably lose all the wickets before 200 in the second innings too.

After losing the first innings, Afghanistan's batsmen are not playing so well in the second innings.  Afghanistan batsmen scored 157 runs in the first innings and 291 runs in the second innings in 91 overs and lost 7 wickets. Zimbabwean players have scored 243 runs in the first innings and have just played the second innings.  For Afghanistan, this win is tougher than ever as the Zimbabwean batsmen need only 209 runs to win this match which they can easily achieve. Afghanistan have played a very poor game, if their batting was good, Zimbabwe could not have got a good target. In their first match as well, both of them performed well, but due to some reasons, the match was drawn.  But in this match we got the results and the Afghanistan team seems to have more chances to win the test match because the leads have crossed 200

[UmerIdrees]

India outstanding comeback in bowling was that they all out Australia at 181 runs and started their second inning with just 4-run lead. At the end of day 2, India lost 6 wickets at just 141 runs and led by 145 runs. Beau Webster debut player played an outclassed inning of 57 runs and reached team score to 180 runs. India's bowling performance was amazing. Prasidh Krishna picked three wickets in the first inning by giving only 42 runs, and Muhammad Siraj also picked the three crucial wickets and assisted India in bowling out Australia at 181 runs. India's batting line collapsed at 78 runs in a loss of 4 main wickets, and it was very difficult for them to cross the 200-run target in this test match. Australia is the favorite now to win the match if they restrict India to under 190 runs in the second inning of a test match.

India did not make good scores in both innings and this time too they are likely to lose the match but their bowling is also good as they bowled the Aussies at only 181.

It is the last match of this series and such an important game for India to win it becasue it helps them to draw the series and save them from the loss of the series. However, only a miracle can save India in this position. Australia clearly are looking stronger here.

In 1 st turn, both teams played and both played very poor. Afghanistan team made 157 runs and lost all wickets. Their opening was poor and made great pressure to team and both lost wicket Malik and Riaz for few runs. Raza and Newman stopped the Batsman of Afghanistan team for 157 runs in 1 st turn. Raza took down 3 wickets in 12 overs and gave 30 runs. Newman dismissed 3 wickets in 8.3 overs and gave 42 runs. First 3 Batsman of Zimbabwe team was showed poor effort and all made only few runs. Raza scored 61 runs in 104 balls and hitted six 4s. Craig made 75 runs in 165 balls and hitting two 6s and four 4s. 2 nd turn of Afghanistan is start and they lost 7 wickets but now they playing good and made 291 runs but need more 100+ runs for win. Let's see what happen in 2 nd test game and 1 st was draw.

South Africa vs Pakistan, 2nd Test at Cape Town. South Africa collect a huge score for Pakistan to win. To chase the score of 616 runs on day 2 Pakistan already lost top order batsman.

The Pakistan team is under a bit of pressure after losing wickets at the beginning of the lead of 615 runs given by South Africa. If Babar Azam and Rizwan bat responsibly, maybe they can collect some good runs, now it is very important to form a partnership between these two batsmen, otherwise Pakistan will not be able to overcome the huge run lead given by South Africa. But Pakistan's bowlers should have bowled more responsibly as the South African batsmen scored a massive 615 runs. South Africa bats very well against Pakistan by African batsmen. Since Pakistan's bowlers did not bowl well, Pakistan's batsmen should bat responsibly, otherwise Pakistan will not have a chance to win the Test match against South Africa.

Not a bit of under pressure Pakistan team were in a lots of under pressure by South African batsmen in the first and now it is also seems that they were going to be in a pressure by South African bowlers also. Babar Azam and the Mohammad Rizwan is still on the strike but I won't think that only two of them have the ability to take over the Pakistan team from this situation like the 600+ run.

And I think Pakistan team should rethinking about their dependency on few player like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan. Until now I won't think there was any chance for Pakistan and also want to mention that South African team confirm this match win when they cross the 600 run.

Pakistan is in a very critical situation handling the pressure. For now, the first innings score is far from what they've reached, losing three wickets. South African players have batted well. Particularly, Rickelton had maintained a 75+ strike rate, which is the reason the South African team was able to reach 615 runs in two days of play. If the score is low, the Pakistan team could've focused on standing wicket. Now they're in a pressure situation to score as well as stand wicket. In this tough situation, the Pakistan team will score a maximum of 300 to 350 runs, not above that. It is kind of a win for the South African team, but there are matches in which twists and turns take place on the last day. Let's wait and see how things are going to happen in this match.

India had a good winning opportunity as the Australian team ended its first innings for 181 runs. India opened the second innings in a very bad way, and now, in the first session of the third day, they're at 156/9, which is just a 160-run lead. Maybe the Indian team will score another 10 to 20 runs. If that happens, the lead will be around 175 runs. Australia will play in a much more responsible way in the second innings as they've got more time. This is going to be a series win for Australia.

I was looking at the test bowling averages for Indian bowlers:

Jasprit Bumrah: 19.42
Mohammed Siraj: 30.87
Prasidh Krishna: 26.00
Mohammed Shami: 27.71
Shardul Thakur: 28.38
Ravindra Jadeja: 24.10
Ravichandran Ashwin: 24.00
Washington Sundar: 25.20
Mukesh Kumar: 25.57
 
Out of these bowlers, Siraj is the only one with a >30 average. I am not sure how he is able to find an automatic spot in the playing XI every time. Perhaps close relations with Kohli and Rohit helps.

Maybe back home Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can be held accountable for the air of inclusion in Mohammad Siraj's squad. A bowler must be held accountable for scoring runs at an economic rate of over 30 which does not reflect the bowling power and skill of a bowler. Today's match is a definite loss and Australia will win if they can add 25 runs in the conditions of the Test so far. Not only will India's bowlers be held accountable for their bowling, but some of the senior players, including Virat Kohli, will also be held accountable for their batting.

One thing is true that India's batsmen have played worst compared to India's bowlers, especially the senior players of their team. At the moment, India's senior players, i.e. the senior batsmen of their team, are not playing well. Despite having so many of India's best batsmen, only one batsman from their team scored a half-century. If Rishabh Pant had not scored 61 runs, India might have been all out for a much lower runs. The way Australian batsmen performed against India, I think Indian batsmen should learn from Australian batsmen how to bat well. We saw that in today's match too, the Australian cricket team won the Test match against India, meaning they won the fifth Test match against India.

India team performed badly in both batting and bowling, despite their efforts in this match, they failed. Because in the second innings, India team was helpless with only two bowlers, Boland and Pat Cummins, these two bowlers collected 9 wickets. But Australia team did a lot better in batting performance and Australia team won by losing only 4 wickets, this is the biggest failure for India team.
 In this whole innings, Australia team did the best and most important batting performance, India team lost this match due to the poor performance of the attacking batsmen of India team.

India eliminated from the Test Championship after losing the Test series to Australia and this was a big blow for them. Due to injuries, Bumrah could not bowl well and other bowlers could not bowl well. Not only bowling, but also batting did not show good performance. India, who won the toss and elected to bat, scored only 185 runs in the first innings and lost all their wickets. The Australian team also did not bat well in reply and lost all their wickets for only 181 runs. The second innings was even more disappointing for India as they scored only 157 runs which became an easy target for Australia.

I was disappointed with the batting of both the teams and the low runs in the Tests, there was not much excitement in the game, although this win has secured a place in the final of the Test Championship to be held in June for Australia. Australia's opponent in the Test Championship is South Africa and it is expected that both the teams will have a great fight to win.

The Indian team lost the match against Australia due to bad batting and bowling, this is definitely a big failure for them. The Australian team performed well due to which they won the series. It was really interesting and the match was very aggressive. Cummins and Boland both had excellent bowling, they really succeeded in putting India under pressure very easily and India lost due to their failure in batting. Australia won the match by losing four wickets and getting 6 wickets, in short, the batting and bowling of the Australian team was excellent due to which they were able to win the series.

Out of these bowlers, Siraj is the only one with a >30 average. I am not sure how he is able to find an automatic spot in the playing XI every time. Perhaps close relations with Kohli and Rohit helps.

Fans hate Siraj due to his overboard antics but IMO these stats are misleading because they indicate career average and not Australia specific stats.

Bumrah is one of the greatest bowlers to play cricket. Siraj has a better run in Australia than Shami. Krishna and Mukesh are new and comparison with Thakur Saab is not good because Thakur was all rounder and can't bowl 30-35 overs in a match or long spell in 4-5 test match series.

You need a workhorse for this, very few bowlers are cut for such a workload. That's why Siraj gets a seat in the squad, Shami is also a workhorse and in the upcoming lot, the likes of Akasdeep and Mukesh fit the bill (Krishna is fragile)

Comparison with Jaddu, Ash and Sundar is not a fair argument because Spinners had no role in this series. Even Lyon didn't get to ball 50-60 overs in total by playing 5 test match series.

PS: We needed a Pujara badly and Shami ( outdue to injury) and also golden arm of Lord Thakur.

Agreed! The Indian batting and bowling lines are so bad. Australia beat India. It's a big failure for the Indian Cricket Team. Australia vs India, 5th Test at Sydney. India started batting first then the delivery their worst playing in 1st innings. They only collect 185 runs from all wickets. For the cheassing this figure Australia reach only 181 runs from all out. In the 3rd innings, India pick 157 runs from all out. For chasing this dream figure Australia easily touched it only left 4 wickets. In the ending innings, Travis Head and Beau Webster's combination of delivery won the toffee. I think this pitch is a bowling pitch. Congratulations to the victory team.

[libert19]

Bumrah's absence sucked so bad, knew there was no chance India will be able to defend such low total without him, even with him possibly. This was just bad day to watch.

Now, on WTC finalists Australia vs SA, I'll be cheering for South Africa, Aussies are so good, it's good to see them defeated.
