*Official* Australia in India 2010

[R_D]

**** you Billy.... that looked plumb out.

 

[TumTum]

But it's going to get worse later on. I don't think Johnson will get 100 but even a brisk 20-30 would do.

Agree. But it is a bit weak tbh sending a bowler to do a batsman's job.

 

[Ikki]

Sachin gives us 3 with a misfield. Thanks.

 

[Ruckus]

Stop blaming the umpires you fools...blame the BCCI who disallowed UDRS.

 

[Jono]

He just needs to give you 211 more to cancel out his innings.

 

[Teja.]

Such a **** board BCCI is. Get UDRS in ffs.

 

[TumTum]

Not to sound like a Sachin fanboy but it is all up to Ponting after Tea. Hussey will inevitably get out lbw shortly and North had his runs for a long time, with the pitch spinning can't see tail-enders doing much.

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah Ponting the key here

 

[honestbharani]

Ojha > Prince EWS, Shri and Honest.

lol.. guess when he gets those wickets though...

 

[Jono]

Criticising a spinner for getting wickets on the 4th day, bringing India back into the game?

then have UDRS and remove umpires

 

[Ruckus]

then have UDRS and remove umpires

Why? Thats just silly...

no mate.. just meant he was taking wickets with a defensive field.. See, I don't think he is a bad bowler, but just do not thinking he is the sort of spinner that is gonna win you games... Mishra is a riskier option but when in form, I think he is the better option by miles against sides like Australia, who like to attack. Against a RSA or a SL or a Pak, Ojha over Mishra as he will at least give you some control, even though he will never really run through a side like a Murali Kartik at his best...

 

[Ikki]

He just needs to give you 211 more to cancel out his innings.

Or just drop Punter a few times.

 

[Ruckus]

In 18 matches, North has scored at least 25 in both innings only once. I pray this will be his second time.

 

[Ikki]

I hope Punter and Hussey just ton up and declare eventually.

 

[Ruckus]

I hope Punter and Hussey just ton up and declare eventually.

lol indeed. Maybe Hussey is building up to something here. Look at his 6 previous scores:

0, 5, 8, 17, 28, 34........................100????

 

[TumTum]

This partnership reminds me of Oval '09

 

[Matt79]

Ponting has been great in this mini-series without quite getting value for his efforts or wrenching a game into our favour. Need him to do so here you fancy.

 

[weldone]

Or just drop Punter a few times.

After which Punter will get plumb after scoring 75? Sure, done deal. We'll still be winning 2-0, Sachin will still be MoTM and rank 1, probably.
