***Official Australia in India***

[pup11]

Congrats Gambhir, series quickly slipping away here.

Well mate tbh the fast bowlers have done most things right today, the pitch is a good one to bat on and the Indian batsmen have applied them well too, but still the Aussie quicks have sort of kept them in check for most of the day, but again the lack of a quality spinner has hurt Australia really bad, one can't really expect Aussie quicks to bowl through the day and still be effective.

 

[Demolition Man]

Clarke getting a bit of flight, interesting.

 

[IndGunner]

When was the last time he cared about the over rate?

Well he does talk about it affecting his bowling choices and today it is criminally behind he has to pull it in or there will be consequences. hes in a spot of bother

I dont know i think this is more bowler freindly than the mohali. With uneven bounce etc i think Lee wasnt utilised enough as well as clark (but he maybe be an injury concern). It is quite sad that the old ball is not reversing but the since the over problems he cant afford to be let fast bowlers from both ends go but whr the hell is the reverse?

 

[IndGunner]

100 runs off 20 overs vry nice

 

[IndGunner]

OH?? run out oh noes.

edit: Phew. he looks home

Well fielded mitch, his fielding and his batting are decent

 

[IndGunner]

Ok its finally happened here comes katich 2 test matches in.

lol ponting misfields :P

edit: edge of the second ball

Finally Katich is being given a bowl, hope he can get a breakthrough here...

EDIT: Jeez, Katto getting some good purchase of the track too!!

 

[Manee]

Katich on and immediately an edge.

 

[Demolition Man]

*gasp* an Aussie turning the ball ??

 

[IndGunner]

Well u cant expect him to do much when these batsmen are so comfortable. btw nice one gambhir his new highest test score previous was 131 against B'desh

 

[silentstriker]

I'm pretty happy with the turn Katich is getting. So is Mishra I think.

lol yea im bored ok. what can i say..

 

[honestbharani]

HB obviously too busy calling for the head of Gary Kirsten for the 3rd test loss to realise that India are in the driving seat still.

To each his own.



I definitely felt India didn't hit the match hard like Australia, but I guess, thinking abt it now, it was to be expected given the way they were pilloried by the media... Still do think they will be doubly difficult in this game compared to Mohali...

 

[pup11]

Clarke seems to have hurt his back, i guess it was only a matter of time before that happened, seriously Australia are being stupid risking Clarke' batting and his health by making him bowl all these overs on this tour.

 

[Demolition Man]

That looked out, bowden busy looking at his feet.

So what only win by 160 this eh

Banter between Katto and Gambhir. *yawn*

Loving this by Gambhir, Aussies trying to be all street but coming off as majorly petulant.
