***Official Australia in India***

[pup11]

I am lovin' the intent in Haydos' batting atm.

 

[Nate]

Australia for the win. Haydo's double ton. Etc.

 

[pup11]

Ffs Rp..

Haha, he fielded more like the man he is currently fielding for.

 

[Johnners]

I honestly picture you as one of the fanatics that go and watch Australia from cricket to marbles.

Have actually only ever seen the Australian cricket team play live though, and no other national teams.

 

[Uppercut]

Not sure whether this is actually a tactic or Australia's way of saying "cbf".

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Cricinfo :- "I am told that after Sehwag got away with that thick edge, Ponting walked up to him and suggested that he shoud have walked"

Don't know if that is true but If Ponting indeed said that then I must say - Sehwag should have said STFU.

Agreed, but it is worth keeping in mind Sehwag's comments before the series about Australia being cheats, and the outrage over Symonds not walking in Sydney. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Ponting pointed that out.

Who is RP on for?

 

[G.I.Joe]

Agreed entirely. Let's not forget that Kumble has an outstanding record in Delhi, including that famous 10/74 he took against Pakistan.

Hasn't the pitch been relaid since then?

 

[pup11]

Will somebody tell Gavaskar to shut the hell up...

 

[pasag]

Hmm, Hayden looking great but hope he settles down for the long grind and doesn't throw his wicket away. I think this is less of positive intent and more of last roll of the dice stuff, maybe.

 

[duffer]

Horrific ground fielding from us though. Maybe Dhoni was right by waiting so long?

 

[Uppercut]

WTF. Thought i could get some work done with some batting-out-time cricket in the background and check it out every time a wicket falls. Back to the drawing board...

Trying to hit him self in to form imo.
Will probably settle down I think......

 

[pasag]

Yep, no way out. Didn't look out in real time either.

I think Hayden's batting atm>>>>>>>Gavaskar's commentary atm by a pretty substantial amount (was gonna put this in the relevant thread but decided it was no place for jesting)

 

[andyc]

First bit of play I've watched so far of this game, has been entertaining at least.

Sometimes i get the feeling chasing teams let one opening batsman play in one-day mode, and on the off-chance it's his day, they can pick up a win. Once he's out, the rest of the team bat out time. Think it's what India did with Sehwag last test.

But here, Katich is humming along too. And they can't possibly be serious...

[duffer]

Ugh, going to the gym. Praying it's a lot different when I get back.

 

[thierry henry]

Is that Hayden I could hear effing and blinding through the stump mic? Just referred to someone as a "f*cking sook"?
