***Official Australia in India***

Well if u go back to the previous test Australia whr bowling the same line to LAx and Gambhir yet no one mentioned any sanctions or anything..

India bowled maybe a max of what 20 overs of the negative bowling?
I never said anywhere that the Australians shouldn't be wided for bowling a negative line, did i, and still when Lax and Gambhir were batting despite the outside off line the Australian bowlers bowled, they had plenty of 1's and 2's on offer as most of the Aussie fielders were on the boundary.

Ok then how long do you think india would have been able to have done it today just gimme a ball park figure im just curious how the umpire would be able to judge it? 5 maidens or something lol.
Edit: Ah ok disregard this then
It's certainly not the first time this has happened. The most famous time is with Giles to Tendulkar. I also remember being at the 'G when India toured some years ago and saw McGrath deliverl Sachin about nine maidens in a row by bowling the dry line outside of off-stump. It was very defensive and negative bowling.

I know thats what ive been saying it happens all the time but pup is getting animated only now about it. Its a viable way of putting pressure on. It the bowler saying Hit me if u can. And then u bring the rare one back into the batsmen and get em lbw or something
