*Official* Australia in India 2010

[vcs]

Is it confirmed that Tendulkar is deadset against UDRS and the Board accepted what he said or is it just hearsay? Expressing some reservations against certain technologies is not the same as insisting against its adoption..

Not really sure but just do not see any other reason why BCCI would be opposed to it.. esp. if Neo are getting the technology in place anyways... Don't see them doing this for a Dravid or a Kumble, tbh...

 

[Uppercut]

Don't really see why Dravid or Tendulkar would be vehemently opposed to it either, though. You'd really expect them to see beyond the fact that it worked out badly for them in Sri Lanka when the system was being trialled. Especially given that both were part of the Sydney debacle.

still 10 hours left.................................................CWG gonna take some hitting with this tournament.........

 

[Jayzamann]

iirc, Tendulkar's only reservations were with Hawkeye, the rest of the system wasn't an issue with him. Could be wront.

 

[kingpin]

The series definitely gonna end

India 1-1 Australia

India 0-1 Australia

Bangalore has never been good for us...

Really looking forward to this contest...India's batting order is way too strong for Aussie bowlers imo. The only threat may be Johnson if some how he starts moving the ball it may be a bit tough. But i honestly don't see Australia winning this series. Unless Ponting comes out with some special innings in both test matches.
Certainly hope Bhajji plays would love to see his aggression against Australians. And truly hope to see Ishant to come back to prime form and do well....

Still nowt showing on any of then Sky Sports channels' listings regarding coverage. Although, and this is quite probably straw clutching, SS4's schedule is free until 3pm tomorrow so could still be a last min deal struck.

It's annoying cos there must be literally millions of expat and first and second generation Indian fans in the UK and several hundred thousand Aussies in Shepherds Bush alone.

On Sky's website now 5am set the the alarm get the coffee ready whoo hoo.

Think Hilfenhaus is going to be a key man in the Aussie attack. Don't think all of a sudden we'll see Johnson hooping it into the right-hander, and hopefully he's just going to concentrate on bowling at good pace, hitting the deck and being used in that strike bowler role. Hauritz we know is going to be attacked, but if Hilf manages to snick one or two out with the new ball it may mean the Indian batsmen may need to be a little more circumspect against the spinner.

Bollinger, if fit enough, will charge in all day, and I do like him, but this will be a big test in whether he can come back in the Indian heat, and break a set partnership.

Looking forward to seeing how Hilfenhaus goes about his business. Obviously up front he'll look to pitch it up and get whatever swing he can out of it, but it's when the ball gets older it'll be interesting. Think he could be key.

C'mon India, I believe in you. All logic points to a crushing loss, but India do tend to pull it out of the bag at home and I hope this is no exception.

Which logic? Players coming back from injury etc.?

Horrendous bowling form. Loads of players coming back (or not) from injury. Dravid on the way down, no match practice in FC cricket.

But as I say, India do tend to pull it out of the bag when it comes to crunch time.

I am pretty sure they will...

To be honest i don't think Hilfenhaus will be as threatening as Johnson because of his pace slightly less. If the pitch is what it says in the reports so far a bit moisture in it.. then Doug and Johnson should be more threatening. I was reading Johnson's interview and he seems pumped to go for it...that is always a good sign for a bowler coming from a tough series. He is imo Australia's main strike bowler with his lethal bouncers against the likes of Raina or may be even Sehwag...if he gets it going with swing...we have got a killer of a contest...

Just hope this guy finds some good rhythm he is a gun when on song.

Cannot wait, hope it is a great series.
