Hi Raghav:

I'm curious. You're clearly a citizen of India. Why then:

I Support only two International cricket teams:
1. Blackcaps
2. Any team playing against India

?

Just curious.

I cant answer this question many a times in this forum my friend....I request you to go to previous threads of CW to get the answer...

Anyways, I appreciate your curiosity!

Day 2 just kicked off at the Junction Oval at 12.24 pm local time.

Thought Wise's comments int he paaper today re. getting Tendulkar out were great. Good to see it meant so much to him, imo.

 

[Laurrz]

4/121 ganguly goes!!

 

[Raghav]

Love the start for Victoria! Ganguly gone!

Edit: Dravid the danger man must be the big wicket before lunch

 

[Laurrz]

dont think Dravid cares about runs atm... just wanting some time in the middle

Siddle has bowled to him a lot

Yes, as always! He is a sedate cricketer who thinks minutes spend on the ground on tour games are his runs

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah, which explains why he has 9683 test runs @ 55.97.

Really Fantastic cricketer who is suited for all conditions. Perfect technique that only a great ball can go through his defence.

I was just checking weather over in Melbourne, Heavy showers are predicted today.. seems the play will be halted again today also at some time or the other

 

[Mister Wright]

Gotta love how they've been on the field for what half an hour? And they still take lunch at the scheduled time. What a joke.

The rain looks like it's setting in now, some ominous clouds around.

Both Slats and Chappeli are a part of the Channel 9 commentary team so i don't know how would they manage to work with ESPN-Star at the same time.

Chappell is signed up with ESPN STAR as well

Slats i was not sure...but think he might do both...as chappel will and i think gavasakr will most probably will be doing it for channel 9

I drove to the Junction Oval today hoping to see any play, and as I was parking the rain came.

FFS!

Will have to settle for the Boxing Day test only it seems.

This is absoultely dreadful planning by the Boad of Confusion, Corruption and Incompetence muppets.

Its hard enough trying tom compete with Australia but when you dodn't even give your team the best chance of competing by scheduling one tour game, you've shot yourself in the foot big time beforehand.

I think INdia are going to lose very badly - 3-0 or 4-0 coming up - I will be pleased if I'm proven wrong but the signs are not good.

More warm up games, less ODIs, less series' - when will they learn?

I am not sure whether you are right or wrong on the first 3-4 lines, But I am pretty sure that the last 6 words are damn right.

I predict 3-0 to aussies.

Cant see much, if any, cricket being played today either.
