*Official* Australia in India 2010

Why's Harbhajan got a long-on for Hilfenhaus? =/

 

[Jono]

This is annoying me now. Field is all wrong.

 

[Rant0r]

Because he plays the slog mow these days, he's not just a blocker anymore

 

[isaacnewton1]

250 would be a glorious effort....

Edit: Haury gone, noooo chance.

 

[vcs]

Awesome ball.

 

[King Pietersen]

That was a beauty from Zaheer. This is the same sort of stuff he was bowling in England in '07, superb swing bowling. Good luck playing that one.

 

[NasserFan207]

Beauty.

 

[Rant0r]

Wow, what a corker.

The pitch/ball suddenly seems to be doing things, it only took 3.5 days

 

[Xuhaib]

Wasim!

 

[Jono]

Zaheer wag

Zaheer was reversing the ball on day 1.

Game might be over this evening if Sehwag gets going. How has it come to this? At lunch it was still a contest.

Seriously speaking, it's a very defendable target. It's just a matter of 2 cheap top order wickets and India will be under serious pressure.

 

[NasserFan207]

Still kind of bizzare to me that fielders are still spread out in the deep.

Yeah its ****.

Hmm yeah especially with Laxman how he is. Just going to have to bowl well up front. India definitely favourites though.

 

[Black_Warrior]

So much for India's 'weak' bowling..the bowlers have set this match up for them..
Good to see Ishant among the wickets

 

[Xuhaib]

with Sehwag factor its 80-20 India without Sehwag its 50-50

 

[Athlai]

Maybe the thought behind it is that they have plenty of time to chase this total and just wait for the wickets instead of chancing 30 runs with an attacking field.

Not exactly a fan of that line of thought but it's understandable.

I think it is Ponting/Clarke's fault...They were too reckless and put too much pressure on the lower order. To be honest a lot of the collapses Aus have had in recent times could be contributed to Pontings slump. He really needs to get his game back, otherwise the ashes could well be lost again.
