*Official* Australia in India 2010

[Spark]

Nice pair of shots there.

 

[Athlai]

wooooot!

 

[BoyBrumby]

This counter attack puts Hussey's 17 off 76 in its proper perspective IMHO.

 

[Spark]

To be fair Paine started out pretty slow as well.

 

[GotSpin]

Good to mitch back in the runs as well. Been fairly ****house with the willow recently. Really adds strength to our batting when he clicks

 

[Xuhaib]

Ohja is too predictable to be top class back him to pick up hauls on a turner.

This counter attack puts Hussey's 17 off 76 in its proper perspective IMHO.

Paine was on 3 from 30 balls at one point

 

[BoyBrumby]

wooooot!

Played, fella. Thought it was good bet but didn't wanna say anything in case I put the mockers on.

Was a bit different at the time but yeah I agree; was a really poor innings no matter which way you look at it.

Anyway it's just about time for Paine to get out in a really strange way; such as he is.

Yeah, Murali Karthik should be first choice back up spinner if they are not going to play Mishra or Chawla.

Crucial thing is he's gone on with it tho. I know it's an easy game from my sofa, but if you set yourself to not get out and then do it makes all the effort look bit pointless.

Was a bit worried when Watto got out that Australia would crumble in a heap around him tbh.

I said this yesterday. He bowls the same delivery every time, reminds me of Panesar actually.

 

[aussie tragic]

Paine is making it extremely difficult for Haddin to get his spot back. I read haddin was named in the nsw 2nd XI - does anyone know how he went?

I read that he was supposed to play 28-30 Sep, however that was the U23 futures league. From what I can figure, the NSW 2nd XI game starts Monday?

Agree, obviously, but worth pointing out nonetheless.

It is really quite stunning how ferociously hard Mitch hits the ball.

Brilliant batting. Smashed through point, the classic cow-corner hit and then dead-bats a single.

 

[BoyBrumby]

That's a proper mow; mightily effective one tho, but.

 

[NasserFan207]

Havent they taken the new ball yet?

 

[Xuhaib]

Huss came in when things were going smooth, Paine started in the last half hour against a hooping ball with Zaheer in full flow then had to start again this morning.Big difference imo.

 

[Flem274*]

Johnson to tonk a few and Aussie to nip over 300.

Indeed. Lots of praise for him yesterday and while he bowled well and while he he was unlucky not to pick up Watson, I still don't really rate him. There's just not enough to him. He's exceptionally accurate but he doesn't get big turn, he doesn't have much variety, he doesn't drift the ball and he bowls with a very simplistic plan for a spinner.

Given what he is he's going to have to bowl incredibly well every time he plays to have any success. He's going to bowl really well for no return a lot, IMO.
