***Official Australia in India***

[SirBloody Idiot]

One of the worst bowling attacks in the world at the moment, IMO.

 

[NUFAN]

I am absolutely dumbfounded that White has been retained ahead of Clark.

This is just crazy, imagine if a fast bowler like Lee gets injured, we'd have an attack of Johnson, Watson, Krejza, White..

 

[Precambrian]

So in other words, he's been about as effective as the rest of the Australian bowlers on this tour?

But he's been better, because atleast he has gone at a low economy rate. The only bowler who has looked likely keeping the Indian batsmen in check this series.

Not really. The thing is that the Indians managed to decode his style of bowling last summer in Aus, and they confirmed it here. Usual "outside off stump" deliveries were left alone, and the incoming ones despatched. Clark never looked menacing enough at any point this series.

Pretty awesome tail though, Johnson at 11 is better than most teams number 8.

Thats one way to look at it.

This is the other.

 

[Precambrian]

Australia will be lucky if they escape with a draw here, and over the moon if they win!

Good old Mervyn Hughes, as the touring selector, favours White once again.

Seriously, do we not have anybody more qualified than Hughes?

 

[_Ed_]

Although I shouldn't do that...they'll probably still rip through our batting lineup later in the month.

I've said it before, but we really need to look at the selectors. They have started to pick insane (subcontinent-like) selections for the sake of it, and they are backfiring ridiculously.

 

[Johnners]

Lost for words at the moment. I mean, I could see what they were trying to do by playing White at 8 for the first 3 tests, but this is just absolute bull****, dropping (unless of course his elbow is injured again?) arguably the best test seamer in the world (top 5 at worst).

 

[pasag]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Am boycotting this Test.

Go, India!

What a joke.

This is the worst selected Australian side ever.

Looking forward to India scoring 2/600 dec.

Subcontinent-like?

 

[duffer]

Draw written all over this one. Can't see India declaring any time soon over the next couple of days.

 

[duffer]

Subcontinent-like?

Random/illogical/brainless? All apply.

 

[Johnners]

Well, at least we have something to blame now when we lose this series (the selectors were absolutely abysmal etc. etc.)

 

[Alysum]

Lost the toss, lost the game... we really need to bat first... But lets wait and see what the new wicket is like a bit first before saying India will score 2/600

 

[social]

Everybody knows my thoughts on the Oz selectors and this is just another example of why I think that way

 

[Precambrian]

Ok, India have got their morning candy, now to make it count.

Massive LOLS. 14 wickets at 28.21, streaks ahead of all the Indian pacers and second best of everyone in the series.

Am not a Precambrian fan.

Losing the toss is a big blow in itself but on top of that dropping Clark, as far as i am concerned this game is already gone.
