***Official*** India in Australia

[Turbinator]

Oh yeah and congrats Australia.

And as SS said, not mad at India at all. Just mad at... destiny (I guess). Too stunned atm.

I said it in jest, Bill may be senile

"may" ????

Less question marks over that than the Symonds appeal

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Both teams played very well, and it should have finished in a draw with the umpiring taken into effect. Props to india for taking it to the aussies for once, let us hope that we see a fair match umpiring wise next test and see who truly is the best team. I am sure we will be in for a good battle.

Good call, in my opinion. Was a brilliant contest somewhat marred by some questionable decisions both ways (yes, I concede more went against the Indians than not). The WACA test will hopefully be competitive - too bad I'm in ****ing Sydney and I'll miss it.

 

[LJMJ]

So, Bucknor or Benson?

Whose your pick for Man of the Match?

Looks like the crew chose Bucknor! Symonds winning is pretty much Bucknor winning in disguise. Good choice I must say.

 

[Agent TBY]

Was hopping mad for a good couple of minutes, then realised I didn't care much for Cricket anyway.

India - Australia's just that special.

Interesting, we still haven't seen a replay of the Sharma dismissal.

 

[Perm]

Symonds MOTM. I have no opinion about that decision at all.

Yeah, knew it would happen. He put in the performance, so it's a fair decision.

 

[roseboy64]

Always the case isn't it that the team that's had the worse of it loses. Tsk tsk.

 

[Turbinator]

Not so fast, buddy.

You taken up writing for Hallmark?

 

[silentstriker]

I had expected India to lose 3-0 and 4-0, and now they will I think - but I didn't expect them to play as well as they did. I'm pretty happy with India, TBH.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

It was a good call. Without wanting it to sound like sour grapes, if the umpiring hadn't been so poor, then this may have been the greatest Test I've seen.

Certainly one of the best. The umpiring added to the drama in its own way, but it really was an amazing match regardless. Reminds me a lot of the Adelaide test last year against England, in terms of the way the result came about.

I do feel for Kumble though. Played a fantastic innings under intense pressure.

 

[Days of Grace]

Man of the match has to be Andrew Symonds. Bowled beautifully, but most of all his absolute chanceless innings when Australia were in trouble.

Sad that India are not good enough to cut it against this great Australia team. 4-0 now for my liking.

 

[shankar]

Brilliant effort from India and Australia. But very undeserving victory this.

 

[archie mac]

Ponting having a real go at Tony Greig on the radio

 

[sideshowtim]

I'm bloody pumped. I was jumping around everywhere. I love this team so so much.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Interesting, we still haven't seen a replay of the Sharma dismissal.

Not sure there was much in i - just hanging around much like Clarke and waiting to actually be given out.

 

[duffer]

Feel so sorry for Anil, stranded while three fell at the other end.

Kumble = Trooper. Love him to death.

 

[pasag]

Whatchu talkin' bout Willis?

I've never hoped that the opposition would hold on for a draw before now. A very strange feeling.

After nearly a year, he posts!

 

[Pratters]

It is only fair sportsmanship to congratulate Australia. So my congrats to Australia and the Australian fans out here. India and Indian fans will be terribly sad and I am no different.

 

[vic_orthdox]

I'm going to throw it out there before seeing a replay - he didn't hit it.

Haha, nah, he smashed it.
