***Official Australia in India***

[archie mac]

Poetry apparantly.

"Poetry. ****ing poetry."

You would think after Jones and Greig they would be much more careful

 

[pasag]

Clarke has a history of getting out towards the close of play. Will be very surprised if he's there at stumps. Looks like he's working himself out of form as well, seems a while since he creamed off that ton effortlessly in the WI.

 

[pup11]

Zaheer could trouble Clarke if the ball moves for him.

 

[duffer]

That was a good good shout.

EDIT: FFS Rudi.

 

[Mister Wright]

Clarke putting Katich to shame with a SR of 8.82.

 

[duffer]

I think the Hussey and Dhoni decisions more than cancel out the Ganguly let off.

 

[Craig]

If Australia loses another wicket, would White come in as NWM?

That's not how it works mate, a bad decision is a bad decisions irrespective of the fact in which team' favour that bad decision might be going in, would somebody bring back those ****ing referrals please..........

Nah, Lee or Johnson might come in as NWM.

I meant in respect to people who want to complain about umpiring. Am tired of championing the referal cause, just accepted they aren't there and we have to cop it if they go against us. Still frustrating that the option is there but we haven't used it.

EDIT: What the, why is that angry smiley there? Please ignore it.

Nah, really doubt it. White's part of the batting lineup; expected to score runs. If a nightwatchman was needed it'd be Lee or Johnson I reckon.

 

[Bees]

Doesn't seem like there'll be a wicket before stumps, though.

 

[duffer]

Nah, these two looking a lot more comfy out there.

Fair enough, was thinking along the lines when South Africa used to throw Mark Boucher in as NWM a few times and he got a century or two as a result.

Zaheer looking 10 times better then any of our bowlers looked. Hope Dhoni doesn't bowl him into the ground though.

Didn't John Wirght once say he had all the ability in the world but was too easily content to be world class. Shame, his Test record doesn't do his talent justice.

 

[Craig]

Hussey to be not out over night and Clarke to get out.

 

[duffer]

Even if we don't get another wicket tonight we've seen how long it's taken these guys to get in and they'll have to do it all again tommorow morning. Another wicket would be comforting though.

Nope

Both Hussey and Dhoni decisions were questionable but I can understand why the umps decided the way they did

However, there is zero doubt that Ganguly was out and cost Oz 60 runs off his bat alone plus would've exposed the tailon day one

 

[pasag]

If they manage to see out the first 20 or so overs tomorrow, it could be hard work for India with only four bowlers (fingers crossed). Not sure why Ganguly isn't given a bowl these days.
