***Official*** Australia in India

[Perm]

Look Cricket is religion for most of the Indians, so i am not really suprised that they really care about their lives.

Yup pretty much. Similar to Rugby League in PNG.

Tad unusual for Clarke to be batting ahead of Symonds ITFP really, usually bats below him.

Not since Martyn retired. Clarke has occupied the #4 spot mostly. Sometimes Hussey bats there. Symonds sits at #5.

Can anybody tell me why is Gilly so keen on wearing Voges's shirt (#24) when he is batting??
Tough conditions these to play cricket in its really hot and humid out there.

Secret love affair?

A bet?

Clarke has really done well since he has started batting at no.4 since the CB series so i don't see any reason why he should be batting at any other slot.

I was hoping Symonds would bat at 3 with Ponting out, but yeah you're right Symonds seems to have that 3rd drop spot locked up.

Roy....!!

 

[Mister Wright]

Symonds turning it on now. That cover drive was superb!

 

[Mister Wright]

What a 6!

 

[pup11]

I have a feeling this pitch might really crumble in the 2nd innings and it has already started to show signs of dual bounce and its been slow right from the start of the game so batting 2nd time around on this pitch could be really tough.

Is it just me or does Harbajhan develop a very noticeable jerk and kink in his arm when he bowls his quicker one?

Symonds getting going here!

 

[pup11]

Agrro between Hayden and Harbhajan and i just love it!!

 

[pup11]

Good contest this between the spinners and Hayden and Symmo.

 

[Mister Wright]

Wish I could hit them that far not hitting the middle of the bat.

 

[pup11]

Symonds is all pumped up and boy that was superb 6 of Powar's bowling.

Just you .

 

[Johnners]

Ah....What all Qlders dream of. A Hayden/Symonds partnership. Hopes this goes the distance.

Nah, it's not.

Quality pun including James though

 

[pup11]

Dear o dear that was a bit of a mix up between Symonds and Hayden, but Uthappa was just not able to gather the ball properly.

 

[Mister Wright]

Gotta love Hayden's concern for Symonds when a run out opportunity arrises. He's marking his mark while Symonds is powering back to his crease. Classic.

Let me rephrase. All Die Hard Queenslanders.

Time to change your avatar mate.

How about an avatar bet for Bathurst this weekend?
