#IndvAus #TestSeries 2017

#Test Match 4 - #Dharamshala

Australian captain #SteveSmith is embroiled in another #Cheating #Scandal only this time he is the one pointing the finger.

An #Angry Smith appeared to mouth the words "f------ cheat" after India's #MuraliVijay had claimed a low #Catch which was later overturned by the video #Umpire.

 

Smith's 'f------ cheat' outburst Smith's 'f------ cheat' outburst

Australian skipper Steve Smith is caught on camera mouthing the words 'f------ cheat' after India's Murali Vijay had claimed a low catch. 

The Australian camp refused to weigh into what Smith said on Monday night but the visitors are now open to claims of double standards after Smith's foul-mouthed dressing room outburst.

The Vijay incident was a line-ball call where even with the aid of close-up video angles it cannot be conclusively proven whether the fielder had gotten his fingers under the ball.

It is common for players in such situations to let the video umpire deliberate but Vijay rushed off the field to pad up in preparation to open India's innings. #Australia's #Batting #Coach #GraemeHick believed #Vijay should have stayed until a final #Verdict was reached. 

"Having fielded in slip or close to the bat myself sometimes you're not 100 per cent sure. He would have felt that go into his fingers and felt it was a clean catch," Hick said. "Once the batter or whoever it may be is gone to the review than fair enough, maybe the fielders should stand around and wait. "The process is in place. At times the series has been a little bit heated but I think this game has been played in very good spirit and he obviously thought he had a clean catch. It goes upstairs, come back and get on with the game."

Jadeja and Wade's sledging caught on mic

 

#Jadeja and #Wade's sledging caught on #mic. Stump-microphones have recorded Matthew Wade's and Steve Smith's row with Ravindra Jadeja on the third day of the final Test.

"You called me it. I just want to know what it is," Wade was heard saying on the stump effects mic said after Jadeja addressed him in Hindi.

"I just want to know what it is, hello?

"We're alright, I'll get a selfie with him at the end of the game. We'll put it on Instagram", Jadeja said after play: "I was just telling Wade that we will meet and have dinner once you guys have lost the Test."

Meanwhile, India regain Border-Gavaskar trophy

  

India regained #BorderGavaskarTrophy by beating Australia 2-1 in the test series. On Day 4, India wasted no time chasing their 87 runs to victory and not even two early wickets from #PatCummins could stop them.

IndvAus Test Series 2017 - India Regain Border-Gavaskar Trophy At Dharamshala

#INDvAUS #TestSeries 2017

#DHARAMSALA: #SteveSmith says #Australia have taken giant strides to slay their subcontinental demons despite their brave campaign in #India ending with a heavy defeat in the deciding #TestMatch, by 8 wickets.

 

In one of the most intense series in recent memory, the last test match finished in anti-climactic fashion after Australia capitulated in their second innings leaving India just 108 to win and their #Bowlers were unable to conjure the miracle required to retain the #BorderGavaskar #Trophy.

Unfortunately for them, a series that had seen numerous momentum swings had no wicked final twist as India showed why they are the best #TestTeam in the world, particularly on #HomeSoil.

 

The visitors hunted for clumps of wickets but instead bowed out amid a flurry of boundaries from an Indian #Batting line-up undaunted by the fourth-innings run chase.

Australia never appeared a genuine winning chance, their only cause for optimism coming when Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara fell in the same over with 60 still needed.

Led by #LokeshRahul's sixth half-century of the series, the world No.1 test side sealed a seventh consecutive series victory midway through the first session, cruising home by eight wickets.

Although bitterly disappointed to fall at the final hurdle, the Australians, who had lost nine consecutive Tests in Asia before this series, exceeded all expectations this campaign.

India were without #ViratKohli, their inspirational, though out of form, captain; they had been given an unusually bouncy subcontinental pitch and they had won the toss.
