Awta

Mitch to shine with the new ball.

 

[duffer]

I guess your mental state at having lost almost all hope in Australian team, but objectively speaking Clark's drop was the only possible solution for Ricky Ponting.

Ah here we go, lee starts with a wide off the first ball, Harmison, 2006-07 Ashes, anyone?

Dude, you must be trolling.

 

[four_or_six]

What a bizarre team.

 

[honestbharani]

Aussies have got nothing to lose here though... Even their most faithful fans seem to have given up.


Guys like Krezja and White may just play out of their skins because at the worst case, even if they fail miserably, only the selectors will get blamed.. It might help them get on and play really well..


India have to be very very careful...

Well, **** this

Matchbox Twenty - All Your Reasons

Why don't you just go away?
I can't seem to get my head straight.
There's so much I need to say,
It could take all day.

Yeah, but what you got,
I don't need it,
I can't listen,
To all your reasons.
Wake up,
I don't feel it,
I can't listen,
To all your reasons.

You're bad mood just ties my hands,
Turns my cartwheels into head stands.
I've done everything I can,
You get old, I have.

Yeah, but what you got,
I don't need it,
I can't listen,
To all your reasons.
Wake up,
I don't feel it,
I can't listen,
To all your reasons.

Why?
You don't help me none,
So warn down, so torn up,
Still in love.

Yeah, but what you got,
I don't need it,
I can't listen,
To all your reasons.
Wake up,
I don't feel it,
I can't listen,
To all your reasons.

Woman,
I don't need it,
I can't listen,
To all your reasons.
Wake up,
I don't feel it,
I can't listen,
To all your reasons.

Why?
Do I?
Do I?
Tell me why?
Ooh baby, tell me why?

Winning the toss was so vital, particularly with Australia dropping Stuart Clark (wtf?). India have it on their plate now, this series can be theirs if they apply themselves.

 

[Precambrian]

BTW, Awesome bounce here!! Maybe I was terribly wrong abt Clark.

Remember reading similar posts in cape town test in early 2007... Boy did that one have a painful ending......

 

[Johnners]

No maybe about it at all.

ABC blokes astounded about how prominent the bowlers footmarks are on the pitch already, are they really that bad?

 

[Precambrian]

Good bounce, good carry! This looks like an Australian wicket.

 

[pasag]

S Clark - current series - 73 overs, 161 runs, 2 wickets, Avg - 80.5, SR - 212.

Assuming Nagpur is similar to other pitches this series, he will be the first one to be struck of. Nothing surprising there!

Wat?

 

[pasag]

Sehwag to score 100 before lunch, Trumper style.

 

[Precambrian]

Awesome cover-drive by Vijay! India 25-0 in 3 overs.

 

[honestbharani]

Good bounce, good carry! This looks like an Australian wicket.

losing the toss was perhaps a blessing in disguise for them, then..

 

[Alysum]

India RR 8.33

Mr Selectors this is what happens when you don't have a Clark...

 

[NUFAN]

When was the last time Australia didn't have a bowler averaging under 30?

 

[Jono]

Remember reading similar posts in cape town test in early 2007... Boy did that one have a painful ending......

Haha so true. Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar played two of the worst innings I've ever seen them play.

The only time I've ever actually been disgusted watching either of them bat.

 

[Precambrian]

Wat?

I am sorry for judging this pitch before seeing. Clark should have been there.

BIG ground this! 80 metres on either side. Australian-like.
