***Official*** Australia in India

[Dissector]

Is Symonds trying to run Haddin out?

Given how terrible India is at chasing targets I don't think anything much more than 250 will be possible. Despite Haddin's best efforts I think Australia will get close to 300 unless someone (Sreesanth?) can get some quick wickets.

32 in last 10...hmmm

something about to happen me thinks

 

[Dissector]

And it looks like Haddin has finally got his act together. Looking pretty ominous for India.

 

[SJS]

SIX !

First boundary in 11 overs.

Haddin is much more comfortable against off-spin rather than the ball spinning away from him.

Lol @ Rameez Raja how he took a dig at Yuvraj saying how he would enjoy batting on this pitch which has no bounce or movement.

I dont know if its a dig. Its spot on in its accuracy. What else is expected from experts by way of comments ? I am no big fan of Rameez by the way.

 

[pup11]

No i am not saying what Raja said is wrong but i was just loling at the way he said that.

Rameez says some very cliched things by the way.

He just said after Sreesanth's last over, "Australia fast closing the gap on India"

Huh !!

Anyone can explain whats that supposed to mean here with Australia batting first and at 196 for 4 in 36 overs ?

Symmo brings up his 50 and he has been superb form throughout this series.

Not in this particular innings.

 

[pup11]

Haddin has changed his bat 3 or 4 times already in this innings now what's up with that??

 

[pasag]

Haddin gone. At least it's not Symonds.

 

[SJS]

Haddin has changed his bat 3 or 4 times already in this innings now what's up with that??

The edge is not wide enough. It keeps missing the ball

 

[pup11]

Haddin's sorry knock finally comes to an end.

Haddin's sorry knock finally comes to an end.

Wasn't that bad really, needed to stick around with Symonds and help get the innings back on track. Did the job, could have done better, but far from poor.

 

[SJS]

Haddin's sorry knock finally comes to an end.

I have heard so much passionate stuff from Aussie friends hereabout how good he is. I am afraid, despite the runs he has got at times, somehow he hasn't been convincing for me.

Maybe one needs to see more of him.

 

[pup11]

What a superb shot from Hopesy to get of the mark.

 

[SJS]

148.8 kmph and 148.0 kmph - the last two deliveries by Sreesanth.

SJS Haddin is a gun batsman but when he was in such gunning form after the first 2 games he was dropped and after sitting out for sometime he was brought back into the side and its never easy to come in straight away and start scoring runs in pressure situations.
