***Official Australia in India***

[pup11]

Nah if anything lost the Aussies that Test, was their batting in the first innings. The Aussies bowled fine and it's not as if India got away to a flyer and posted huge scores. No-one got 400 in the match.

I think rather than just terming it as an Aussie batting failure, one also needs to give credit to the way the Indians bowled, they didn't try to bang the ball in short like the Aussie bowlers, the Indian bowlers pitched the ball up and the ball swung for them and that's what really caused the Aussie batsmen all the problems in the first innings and even in the 2nd innings, because had it not been for Clarke' knock and Johnson' breezy knock in the end the 2nd innings scorecard would have also looked equally woeful.

If they lost about distraction, India need to drum something up. It's our form of 'mental disintigration', I suppose.

I rather doubt it was the reason for the loss though.

Loved how riled up people at my work got when they saw that Foxtel ad for this series with Bhajji doing the "just bring it" routine.

This is going to be sooooooo awesome, footy will be over and time for some Badri-love.

When the voice over started I thought what a horribly crap ad, then when Harbhajan came on the screen I burst out laughing. Brilliant to say the least, one of my favourite ads of the year.

 

[Pratters]

Any youtube link for the ad?

 

[pup11]

Me interested in watching that ad too now.

 

[silentstriker]

Yea, I want to see it too.

 

[Jakester1288]

The Austar ad I presume?

He says all this ****, like "We will feed you, we will entertain you, we will mesmerize you, and finally, we will beat you". Just lost him some more respect from me to be honest, especially after someof his earlier tour comments.

Yeah, thought it was a beauty of an ad too.

Yeah, was discussing that earlier in the week with m00pheh. Quality ad.

1st Test Pitch

 

[Woodster]

I will be surprised if the pitch is as the curator suggests. Doesn't appear to make a great deal of sense, when you consider the strengths of the Australia and India side respectively. Although I'm all for pitches with a bit in it for everyone.
