SOUTH AFRICA- The chance of South Africa are very bright.                                                         Win over Pakistan and they are through to the final.                                                   

     INDIA  -if India win the Melbourne and Sydney, they will qualify for the WTC final without depending on other results. 

1. If India win the series 2-1 Sri Lanka need to acoid a whitewash against Austraia. 

2. If India draw the series 2-2 Sri Lanka need to beat Australia in the series by any margin. 

3.   If india draw the series 1-1 Sri Lanka must draw or beat Australia. 

                                                                                                                              SRI LANKA -   Even if Sri Lanka win both tests against Australia, they would only finish on 53.85,Which would then leave them at the mercy of other results.

 

AUSTRALIA -   To secure a sport in the final, they need to win two out of two test against India and at least win against one test out of two test in Sri Lanka.

VIRAT KOHLI OUTSIDE THE OFF STUMP PROPLEM AND SOLUTION

 NEW DELHI:  India's star batter Virat Kohli faced heavy criticism from fans after his old faction out side off stump mistake cost his wicket in ongoing test in Gabba.

KOHLI COME AND KOHLI GONE - Kohli,comes when India in 2 down early as opener Yashasvi Jasiswal (4) and Shubman Gill (1), out in no time and India need a partnership but his old mistake cost his wicket. As he niked wide out side the off stump ball of  Josh Haszlewood and wicketkeeper Alex carey made no mistake and he gone after score  Just 5 runs.

MOHAMMED KAIF said "every bowler irrespective of the number of matches he has played , knows where to target Kohli. there has been a pattern to Kohli's dismissals against pacers for quite a time now". 

REASON OF HIS FALL- what got him into trouble was his forward press. He didn't get emough time to get his hands out of the way on the fast Parth pitch. In relatively better conditions to bat in the second innings. Kohli took full advantage of the tiring Australian pacer with a century.

 HOW TO SLOVE - Undoubtedly is the best batsman of this area but  to slove this issue is not going to be easy its is to say but he needs to focus on playing the line more  thanthe length keeping his bat  close to his body, and adjusting his grip with a softer bolttom hand, and not playing a out side off stump deliveries.

KEY POINTS TO CONSIDER:

1 BAT POSITION- Keep the bat closer to the body   

                    

2 FOOTWORK ADJUSTMENT- Ensure proper footwork to get into the position to pay well on the merit of its line.

                  

3 GRIP ADJUSTMENT- Play with soft bottem hand to control the bat face 

                

4 KEEP LEAVE THE BALL- 

                 

Head And Smith Thrashed India as India Bowlers look clueless Day two at Gabba.

 DAY TWO OF  GABBA TEST- As series on the line as well as world test championship final spot another disappointed day for India. Indian bowlers look clue less against Australia especially Head and Smith as Australia score 405/7 and there are in the box seat in the end of day 2.

HEAD AND SMITH PARTNERSHIP - Head and Smith scored centuries and their partnership gone strength to strength and score 241 run stand for the fourth wicket. 

           

 HEAD WITH HIS ANOTHER HEADACHE INNINGS - Head continued his fine form as he score another ton against India and score 160 ball 152 run and complete his 10 ton in his career. 

                    

SMITH WITH THE 33RD OVERALL TON -When Head with his brisk knock Smith has historically enjoyed playing India in this format and got to his 10th ton  highest against India any player as he equal Root and score 101 run in 190 ball . 

              

JASPRIT BUMRAH WITH ANOTHER 5 FER- Bumrah though continued to be the gold standard of fast bowling. After the gloom of the opening day, the early start to day 2 was marked by a refreshing shade of powdery blue above The Gabba. And Bumrah take full advantage and got Khawaja and McSweeney cheaplly. and later when Head and Smith partnership hurt India he came and got them in same over and then take Marsh in next over as he take 5 wicket for 72 run.

                 

Brief scores- Australia 405/7 (Travis Head 152 and Steve snith 101; Bumrah 5-72)
