I don't understand why you entered the debate in the first place? What was your point? That winning the toss isn't a guaranteed win?

Obviously that's the case, But you quote posts re: the toss which were being made with reference to DeusEx's post about 1-1 being a better reflection rather than 2-0.

If Australia lose 2-0 PLUS having won the toss PLUS having had the chance to bowl on day 5 and lose both tests (again, may not happen, but this is the hypothetical scenario), then it will be a fair reflection.

That is the point we are making. If you don't think 1-1 will be a better reflection that 2-0, why'd you enter the debtate?

Well that obviously was my point, as it was exactly what I said.

Mate, you've built an entire construct around a one line response to Xuahib's point about winning the toss. Saying batting last = loss in Ondia is like me saying you should bowl first in Perth.

Look at the wickets. They have been excellent, both of them. Whichever team batted best could have secured a great advantage first innings, but they've each batted the same, roughly anyways. It's made for good cricket.

I won't ever say India don't deserve to win the series 2-0 if they do, conditions have been excellent but India have bowlers the bit better (Zaheer especially). It's been close, is all I'm saying. Been great cricket to watch from both teams.

I've pretty much thought you a monstrous lightweight since you started posting here, largely vapid and devoid of any worthwhile thought.

You've just confirmed that for me. Cheers.

Not appropriate at all. Cut the crap, guys. Like others have said this thread has, by and large, been a very good read and people have stayed civil. Don't bring it down now.

So go **** yourself Burgey. :ph34r:

Then you don't agree with me at all. :p

SS posted what he did in relation to the ebbs and flows and the game; not umpring errors which are a different animal entirely. I agree with SS, and I also think people are quite within their rights to complain about obvious and match-defining umpire errors. It's not inconsistent because they are two entirely separate issues.

Bollocks. As long as there is sport officiating will play a part in it. It's as much a part of the ebb and flow of cricket as a dropped catch, or having Nathan Hauritz in your team.

Lol.

And I ought to apologise to Shri too for allowing my having the ****s at things outside this thread lead to abusing him. Was unwarranted and doesn't reflect his posting here.

Watching the game is a great help. And yes, the innings have been comparable. It's not been uber-superlative batting from one or the other. It's been very good batting by both teams on a pitch that has held relatively well between both teams' innings.

There is no proof that Australia would have scored as much playing mostly on the third day, as opposed to playing till tea on the second day on both tests. Especially when you see that on the 4th day in both test Australia have crumbled. The evidence is right there. Unless you are saying somehow the pitch magically transformed from being a great wicket to bat on to a practical land mine between day 3 and day 4. You are just taking the scores of the first innings and saying the conditions were identical.

There is absolutely no need to respond like an arrogant smug twit. I will engage in a debate if you can make an argument, if you are just going to repeat the 'conditions were identical' like a broken record, i'll let you be.

I highly, highly doubt there will be a declaration here, given the nature of the last test. And the fact we will likely be bolwed out in 2 overs.:laugh:

Aus are only 10 runs away from making India try and beat the record run chase of 195 in Bangalore. Should be a good contest, even if Aus are bowled out in the first over tmrw.

Chance of afternoon showers apparently though, hope it doesn't make for a massive anti-climax.

Yeh but the record chase was accomplished with 8 wickets to spare. This pitch has plenty of runs in it.

Ikki mate, if Australia make India have to chase 230-odd you fellas will win, or it'll be a tight draw.
