*Official* Australia in India 2010

[Sanz]

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 ???

Good move if India wins, Bad move if we lose.

 

[biased indian]

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!

it nice to say no pressure at all ...even if he come at 120/9 he still would be under pressure i think ..its his first test

 

[ankitj]

Whats with the run rate. 5.50!

I hope i don't jinx him but i really like the looks of Pujara.
He's going to be regular no 3 in test for India i reckon. Looks solid through offside... needs to improve on him on side play a little.

The faster they score the better chance we have of winning the series.

 

[ankitj]

I refreshed Pujara's cricinfo profile page and 6 more people have "liked" his profile in like 2 minutes

 

[ankitj]

The faster they score the better chance we have of winning the series.

Yes, of course. Given that Sehwag is dismissed, maintaining that RR is surprising!

 

[cricman]

You think Hauritz will get a bowl?

 

[Prince EWS]

You think Hauritz will get a bowl?

Yeah he definitely will. Don't think Ponting will keep him on too long if he gets hammered though - it'll be a really crucial period of the game.

 

[Shri]

If Hauritz bowls 6 overs and gives away 30 runs without a wicket, it will really hep India's cause.

 

[bagapath]

congrats australia. you've got the danger man out. get one more before lunch. then take sachin and rahul before tea, the match is yours. those cracks are looking ugly as hell.

 

[Teja.]

Sehwag out, Ridiculously inexperienced batting order to come apart from two batsman- one of which is in terrible form and the other has scored a double this game already and a record chase to finish on a crumbling pitch. No chance, really.

Played, Australia.

 

[pasag]

If India score 164 runs they will win.

 

[Shri]

Vijay displaying solid defensive skills here. Has negotiated MJ's weird angle well on the front foot.

 

[Johnners]

Heh, don't care how ugly the pitch may look, can't be giving away runs this easy with such a relatively small total and Sachin still to come. Get it together mitch

 

[Spark]

One slip, edge for four.

 

[Sanz]

If Sachin and Rahul are there till tea, this match will be over.

 

[cricman]

they should send Boy George in to bowl

 

[R_D]

Hauritz on!!

 

[Sanz]

Kumble is bowling.
