Published by Webster

The left-arm spinner Manav Suthar made a brilliant performance during his test debut, picking a six-wicket haul, guiding India to dismiss Afghanistan for 152 runs and enforce the follow-on on day 03 in the one-off test played at New Chandigarh. He returned with figures of 6/33 in 22 overs, becoming the tenth bowler and seventh spinner from the country to claim a five-wicket haul on Test debut. This will be a second best performance by an Indian bowler on debut, behind Narendra Hirwani’s 8/61 against the West Indies in 1988. He also became the second India bowler after Amit Mishra to pick five-wickets in his maiden test innings. Resuming the game on day 03, where Afghanistan lost 5 wickets for 113 runs, they struggled against India’s lethal bowling attack. Prasidh Krishna bagged the wicket of Azmatullah Omarzai for the duck before Manav Suthar dominated the ground.

It surpasses the previous best follow-on total of 372/7 set by Australia in Johannesburg in 1902, over 122 years ago. The record of the highest follow-on total in South Africa belongs to …

What is Follow-on Score for India vs Australia at Melbourne

Published by Webster

AUS vs IND 4th Test: India walked out to bat in their first innings where they scored 164/5 by the end of day 02 at Melbourne. Australia won the toss and batter first where Sam Konstas, Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja scored half-centuries helping the side for a solid start. Steve Smith scored 140 runs and ensured that Australia reached nearly 500 in their innings. Ultimately Australia were bundled out for 474 runs. With India losing five wickets before crossing half of the target, India could get bowled out before chasing the target. If India bowled out for low scores there is a possibility for a follow-on in the fourth test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. What is Follow-on? The follow-on rule is applicable only for test cricket. The fule comes to be applicable when the team batting second in a test match fails to narrow the gap between their total and opposition total below 200 runs. In that case, the team with more runs can ask the other team bat again in the match. …

Refuting the criticism from some sections, former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri said that the moment when Team India avoided the follow-on during the drawn third Test match at Brisbane, was worth “celebration” and that it will lift the visitors as they gear up for the crucial fourth Test of the series, a Boxing Day affair, starting from December 26 onwards at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Despite being behind staring at a huge loss, India’s resilience on the final day of the third Test against Australia in Brisbane proved to be a defining moment in the ongoing series as it provided the team with a psychological boost ahead of the Boxing Day Test at the MCG, according to former coach Ravi Shastri.

India’s Reaction To Avoiding Follow-On In 3rd Australia Test Receives Big Verdict: “Can’t Control…”

Published by Webster

Australia’s veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon said a few of his team members were surprised over the reaction of members of the Indian team over avoiding the follow-on on Day Four of the third Test at Gabba. At the Gabba, the last wicket partnership between Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep helped India avoid the follow-on and averted a potential innings defeat. As soon as Akash got a thick outside edge over gully for four off Pat Cummins, it led to jubilant reactions and high-fives amongst captain Rohit Sharma, head coach Gautam Gambhir and talismanic batter Virat Kohli. “There’s a few of us who spoke about (how we’re) surprised about their reaction. We have played well and driven the game to where we are. Frustrating but we are still sitting in the changing room 185 in front. I still feel if we bat well, we can push for an Australian win.” “We can’t control the weather. What we can control is our process. Especially against Jasprit Bumrah, he’s been excellent this series.

Australia spinner Nathan Lyon said he and his fellow Australian teammates were surprised to see the reactions that came from the Indian dressing room after they avoided the follow-on on the fourth day of the third Test at Gabba. The 47-run stand for the 10th-wicket between Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep has helped India avoid the follow-on in the Brisbane Test. When the two joined in the middle, India were 213 for 9, still 36 runs away from avoiding follow-on. With eight runs needed to avoid follow-on, Cummins finally put a ball fuller and Akash went for a flamboyant on-the-up hack, and the ball flew off the inside-edge past the stumps. A message came out from the Indian dressing room. “It was just to tell him to calm down, that it could be done in singles,” KL Rahul detailed later. Akash did calm down but it was with a rather nonchalant upper-slash over slips that got India across the line of safety. Akash Deep makes sure India avoid the follow-on and then smashes Pat Cummins …
