Shout out to Carey . Shored up his spot as keeper batsman.

Yeah, kept well up to the stumps for Boland and Marsh.

I also liked very much how he organised the close in field when Lyon was bowling with everyone in short.

I am now prepared to consider him as an alternate Captain.

Just got home and watching the replay.
That Jaiswal dismissal in slo mo was not out. A ridiculous decision on review. This test was plagued by non lbw calls of which Jaiswal was a beneficiary today but no way could you over turn that. Cost India the series. Shameful umpiring/ not that bit icc processes.
No way that was conclusive and if a flatline snicko and no hot spot it's simply a not out going with umpires calll
Indian fans at the ground every right to be pissed off
Jesus, your therapist has a lot of work to do. They showed the ball tracking deflection, and Jaiswal has admitted he hit it. So explain again, how the right decision is a poor one?
 
A bizarre admission if true. Even accepting the recklessness of telling Pant he is allowed to go big in a hail mary attempt at a win, surely once that wicket falls you have to protect the wicket of your last recognized batsman.

And then you publicly admit such stupidity, as if it is going to make you look better?
Clearly they change strategy after Pant got out but we bowled well and took wickets. Both Reddy and Jadeja didn't get out to poor shots, Jaiswal was probably tired and saw a chance to score.

My other half is also Indian, and her family are utterly embarrassed by the way the majority of their supporters act.
My other half is Mekeo, but I speak Hindi and most of the Indians I speak to are equally embarrassed.
 
western royboy Adelaide Hawk PhatBoy can a decent cricket poster watch the replay of the Jaiswal dismissal.
it was given not out and over turned on review
your verdict not out/inconclusive and umpires call/ overturned and out?
I'll happily accept their call
OK, I'm going to try to give you a pretty reasoned response even though you didn't tag me .

It's the latter . Watch the replay a few times and use your experience playing ( if you did ) . It's a classic off the glove deflection from a hook/pull shot down the leg side.
It probably even glanced the the splice on the way through .
Watch the trajectory of the ball from contact to the keeper .
It slows up at point of where it did/would make contact from the glove.

It's not unusual that he may not have felt this . The gloves now around the thumb are pretty solid so even a half decent contact with him swivelling around as the ball come past may not register with him.

100% no doubt he was out .
 
Not sure if it’s been mentioned here yet, but Rohit said in the press conference that the team strategy was to go for the win in the last session, hence Pant and Jaiswal teeing off. Absolutely idiotic stuff, basically asking to get the sack with tactics like that when they were no chance of getting those runs.
Don't think that's what he meant

They wanted to position themselves into a position where they could go for the target in the final session.

But they didn't because they started slowly, lost three wickets in a clump before lunch and we bowled too well.

Pant's shot selection was all on him. Chasing the runs had gone by that stage.

This is fair. He was clearly rattled and talking word salad after the game.

His interview with Isha, he sounded like Kamala Harris.
