***Official*** India in Australia

[NUFAN]

Ok. Anyways, the match starts at 02:30 GMT. Which is 57 or so minutes..

Both the Singhs dropped for Irfan and Virenda.

Hmm, the batting and bowling lineup is bolstered, though I would have liked to see Ponting continue his bunny ways. I hope he doesn't let loose here.

I thought for a second that RP Singh was dropped too! Thankfully not.

 

[Johnners]

Haha, yeah I thought it meant RP for a second and had a wtf moment.

 

[Johnners]

First time I'll ever be following an Australian home test from 'the office'

Currently in Singapore doing an internship in a law firm, and whilst the cricket coverage on cable here is awesome (two dedicated cricket channels), that's useless when you're stuck in the office.

Cricinfo ftw.

Nah, just listen at abc.net.au/cricket, and tell those who don't like it to bugger off (this is only recommended if you don't value your job )

Good move, bring in an in-form batsman and decent swing bowler for a spinner (that will prove useless on this pitch) and an out-of-form middle-order batsman. I would've done the same except dropped Jaffer...

If Australia bowl first will Tait take the new pill with Lee, considering Lee has som new-found consistency and Johnson' been largely ineffective?

 

[Johnners]

Reckon they will, it seems silly bringing Tait into the team and not giving him the new ball. Would still bowl Clark at first change as well, drop Mitch down the order so to speak.

 

[pasag]

Manan please come on MSN for a sec.

Wouldn't be the first time.

Which means that teenager from Melbourne who threw the massive party doesn't get to own Laila McKinnon again tonight. That was hilarious.

It was a face-off of the completely incompetent...it would have been an extremely close points decision in my opinion. McKinnon could string together a sentence, so she goes one up there. On the other hand, she was fronting ACA...

 

[howardj]

I wouldn't mind owning Leila.

 

[Captain Cricket]

I wouldn't mind owning Leila.

 

[Captain Cricket]

Coverage on Channel 9 started. Play starts in about 15 minutes.

The bedroom chat would be fantastic: "Are you going to take off those pyjamas and apologise to the nation for only lasting 3 hours tonight SOC?"

 

[Captain Cricket]

India win the toss and elect to bat.

Ps. I would say that to Leila lol

 

[Nate]

Will be interesting to see how Jonners goes for this Test. He's very much flown under the radar and it'll be good to see how he can bowl without so much pressure.

 

[Jono]

Wow. No work to do at all, and the cricket is about to start.

So tempted to catch the MRT home and go watch the cricket. I don't think anyone would notice I'm gone

 

[Johnners]

Haha, can you listen to it online at least Jono?
