*Official* Australia in India 2010

[social]

This pitch has been very good for mine, especially considering the lack of prep the curator had.

Agreed very good test wicket

 

[Jono]

God this would be a huge win.

Haha getting excited.

Fair enough though, definitely well on top, and would be a great win.

Hoping you jinxed it though.

 

[benchmark00]

Why's Zaheer batting now? It's 2:30 over there ffs.

Haha.

 

[Spark]

Uh oh.

 

[pasag]

Any news stories in Laxman's back from today?

 

[inbox24]

Catches win matches.

 

[robelinda]

Bets on a square turner being prepared for the next game?

Biggest raging turner, test over in one day. North to take 8/3. That SA test where they got bundled out, (was it at Delhi?) was just an awful pitch, hope the next test pitch is decent.

 

[Daemon]

Blame Cricinfo. Still, it's a golden opportunity for a new wicket, unless Sachin protects him for ages.

It will probably be the other way around.

I wouldn't have sent Zaheer tbh, with all the short stuff he risks his left hand being injured considering he bats righty. Should've sent sharma, an injury to him wouldn't mean much anyways.

 

[Jono]

None so far.

Just gotta wait and see if a whole day's rest does him some good.

 

[Spark]

Catches win matches.

Rough to call that a chance. He was sharp to even get a hand to it.

This. Been a new ball deck to bat on, afterwards not so easy to score, but hardly a minefield. Been pretty good tbh, given the weather pre-match.

 

[chicane]

All the bowlers are looking dangerous, and doesn't look likely to change. We (Sachin) need to be positive.

 

[pasag]

None so far.

Just gotta wait and see if a whole day's rest does him some good.

How many times have we had these "will he/won't he?" scenarios vs Australia in the past year in close chases? Insane.

 

[Jono]

Zaheer against spin is making me **** my pants.

Guaranteed wicket here. Back me in here fellas.

 

[Xuhaib]

not sure why Aussies are getting excited greatness still at the crease with two very able batsman to come.

 

[Shri]

If Laxman turns out to be fit enough, will be backing an Indian win here,

 

[four_or_six]

All the good sport going on on a Monday morning is

Wtf is going on, is it good bowling or poor batting? When I left the house this morning Australia were about 75/0.

 

[Shri]

Zaheer to slog out and take us past 100 imo.

 

[Jayzamann]

Something spesh coming up. Right here.

Probably because 54/4 is much better than 110/0 for us when India are chasing 216.

In with a real chance on this pitch (as the others have said, it's been a good one). You're right though, Tendulkar and a couple of others could still take it away from us.
