***Official Australia in India***

Not as good as Michael Clarke who, according to Cricinfo, has apparently just bowled 4 overs in a row. Impressive to bowl from both ends but poor umpiring.

Lol...yeah, just saw that. Wanted to see Krejza's figures after he got smoked for 2 sixes and a 4 and it has Clarke bowling at both ends.

Cricinfo is incredibly useless.

Krezja' biggest problem is that his accuracy sucks, he is bowling two or three boundary balls in an over and serving easy runs on a platter atm.

I fixed your post.

Yeah that's fair enough too.

Come on, credit where credit's due, eh? He's bowled a few maiden balls.

Actually bowled a maiden over at one point.

He's quite obviously bowled absolute trash today though - not even my biased defence can absolve him of that. I know he can bowl much better than this though - regularly in fact - so let's hope he brings his best game to the Tests if he plays.

If the Aussies selectors are watching this canning of Krezja, then they should be thinking about sending Casson to India, because he might not be special but he surely won't get himself disgraced like Krezja has, he has been ridiculously awful today.

Yes he would, Bracken on the other hand...

Hey, if he gets picked, I'll be hoping he gets some poles too. His whole selection just has a bit of a Hail Mary quality to it on the part of the selectors and you know what the suckiest part of it is? He probably is quite a decent bowler but likely won't get another opportunity to show it. Selectors can't just toy with someone's career like that, really unfair.

When exactly was he regularly bowling better than this will securing a career average of 45?

 

[Lambu]

Thats a good hundred by Rohit there.He needs to do this regularly.

edit:Just as I type he is dismissed by mitch,who it must be said is the luckiest guy in the world.

Sharma gone good knock from him, anyways Johnson gets his 3rd wicket and Krezja finally makes himself useful by taking a catch.

 

[Top_Cat]

Good on Ponting for giving Krejza some overs at least. That Sharma has belted a ton here, in the context of a series he's unlikely to take part in, is meaningless. But at least he gets to throw some down at decent opposition. Might be looked back upon in hindsight as a genius move....

 

[Salamuddin]

The amount of crap that you pout (when it comes to Ganguly) is beyond anyone's imagination. You top yourself everytime. The guy has been treated like dirt since 2005 and people still claim that he is there because of politics ?

What crap ?

His poor record against Australia is fact. His last series was extremely poor.
His fielding is not very good and his running between the wickets is terrible.
Considering Australia will likely adopt similar tactics to what they did in 2004, you need players who can rotate the strike and put the pressure back on the Aussie bowlers.
Ganguly is the worst of the big 4 in that respect.

What honestly does he have to offer going forward ?

You are saying Casson could bowl any worse then Krezja has, you are probably not watching the game, but Krezja has been AWFUL, there is no discipline, he is bowling huge no-balls, full-tosses, half-volley's, long-hops every over.

These are why these matches are so vital, would have been absurd if Ponting didn't bowl him and at least we can have an answer to one of the lineup questions. I'd bowl him heaps for the rest of the match as well, just to see, in hope really.

You never know, someone might get injured or could be horribly out of form, and next thing we know Sharma could be making his test debut in this series.

Casson is crap though and I wouldn't want to see him anywhere near the side.

Yep, agree with that.
