*Official* Australia in India 2010

[Prince EWS]

God damn you Viru.

Good nut though, must be said.


IM BACKING YOU IN HERE DRAVID!

Well this is interesting. Bad signs for Dravid's spot in the team really.

 

[Shri]

Pujara sent out now. Like Doni is saying 'Here is your chance, grab it". Hope he does something great here.

 

[Jono]

Pujara in. Wtf?

Almost ran out Vijay. wtf?

 

[Dissector]

*Sigh* I just knew India was going to make heavy weather of this. Without Laxman and with a tired Tendulkar I am feeling pretty nervous here. A big moment for Dravid. If he can take India home it will certainly answer his critics.

God damn you Viru.

oic

 

[cricman]

are they serious?

 

[R_D]

Come one Pujara... backing him to play a good innings here.

 

[Jayzamann]

Immense record domestically for this young dude, really hope he punches through and scores 10k career runs.

 

[pasag]

Alright, go back to jinxing. This thread is too weird without it.

 

[ankitj]

If Dravid's poor form was a concern, I say Dhoni the experienced guy should have come up and proved his worth as a test batsman. Not a good situation to send in a debutant in.

 

[R_D]

Lovely shot by Pujara!

 

[outbreak]

Maybe they don't want too much pressure on him if he has to come in later in the match and score the winning runs?

 

[Jono]

**** Pujara is nice through the offside. Played a similar nice shot in the first dig.

Let's hope he doesn't get out right after that lol.

 

[Shri]

Similar to Dravid in batting style. Superb concentration once he gets his eye in. Not easy to dislodge once set.

 

[biased indian]

any body think is it a good thing to have pujara come in at 17/1.. rather than say 40/3 with both tendulkar and dravid in pavilion ???

 

[Contra]

Wow those are huge cracks..

wouldn't wanna look at those while batting on the 5th day

Yeah definately. Dravid coming in at 5 would be good as well... he can be a good finisher. Better off someone experienced like Dravid coming in at that stage than inexperienced player.

There are both ways of looking at that. At 40/3, Pujara would have nothing to lose and nothing would've been blamed on him. Here he has everything to lose (and everything to gain as well)

Anyways, keeping my fingers crossed!

 

[Contra]

shot!

I guess with Dravid to come down the order you get somewhat of a psychological relief.

 

[Sanz]

Alright, go back to jinxing. This thread is too weird without it.

So what do you want us to do ? Be loudmouth fans and predict victory so that most of you can come back after an Aussie win and quote our posts and make us look like a fool ?
