*Official* Australia in India 2010

[Top_Cat]

Not after Hussey had got out to a similar ball an over previously.

Mate, on that line, you'd be leaving it and I'd suggest 99% of players would have. It was borderline whether the wind from passing the bails actually knocked them off.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Any news on Ishant? If he's properly crocked we might see Sachin with the new cherry.

Sachin and Zaheer not a patch on Gavaskar and Desai tbh

Has Dhoni shelled another? On replay maybe not. Musta clipped his pads.

& North's a great player. Inked in for the Gabba, IMHO.

I'm watching a dodgy stream but it looked like the bat was the only thing near the ball there... commentator saying he dropped it as well.

Dhoni having a Kamran-esque day today.

 

[Xuhaib]

this is a special spell from Zaheer watching a good spell of reverse swing is my favourite thing in cricket.

 

[Matt79]

These two need to last to stumps.

EDIT: Nup, first instinct was right. Another drop.

Was an edge.

Notice Zaheer is only really reversing it one way, but the Australians aren't cottoning on. Strange.

Ponting really made batting look easy on this track TBH... I think we might see something similar from Sehwag when India bat with everyone else struggling to work it off the square.

 

[Uppercut]

Hughes HAS to come in for North next match.

In the middle order?

Surely you can't move Watto after his third consecutive century opening...

 

[Noble One]

North please never play for Australia again. I understand he had a cracking run early in his career, but he is the most unreliable middle order batsman in a very shaky lineup. What do the selectors really expect from him? He will never average greater than 40 in Test cricket. He is simply wasting time until the selectors grow a pair and drop him from the side.

This has been happening far too often with North. Zaheer bowled a fantastic delivery, but for ****s sake North get behind the ball. Please take three nice slip catches, bowl a big off-break that dismisses Dhoni then go crawl back to WA and never resurface again. We have far better batsman who are more deserving than North.

Makes me cringe this experience.

Fair enough, it wasn't the worst leave of all time, but a better batsman would've played it. Imo.

Second innings still to come; you never know.

yeah its not a road, 350 will be a good score I reckon.

To be honest, whilst I'd think it's madness myself, Watto managing the spinners so well today might just be the excuse they need.

Why not (Hughes at 6)? Can't be worse than North and gets him around the team.

 

[NasserFan207]

Why not drop Katich down?

Hughes/Watson opening pair could potentially be devastating.

 

[Matt79]

Watto shouldn't bat lower than 4, preferably 3 if he does move at some stage.

 

[vcs]

One more wicket from Bhajji today would be pretty ideal...

 

[Flem274*]

Shane Watson is batting like a champion. An allrounder able to be picked as an opening batsman alone is fantastic.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Watto beast.

 

[Matt79]

Good over there from Paine. Really like this kid.
