Who gives a ****? Lets talk about cricket.

yeah.. this UDRS thingy is no good, isn't it?

 

[Hurricane]

Southee must play in the next test.

 

[Athlai]

AWTA Southee is such a gun.

Plenty of chances to push for the win on this IMO. After the 1st day you'd have to say India should have won.

No way, the one thing indian seam bowlers get right these days is the reverse swing which was absent because the out field wasn't rough enough. Take reverse swing out of the equation and these guys are just fodder for any batsman without any pace in the pitch. No real chance to push for the win for either side in this match except that Martin moment late in the 4th day.

AWTA Southee is such a gun.

Is he fit enough or would be tire-out and pick up an injury like bennett?

He'd be match fit I think, not as fast as Bennett though.

 

[bagapath]

Love that Sachin waited for Sehwag to get off the field before walking on. WAG, such a top bloke.


Hope this annoys bagapath

thanks for the love jono

probably would be by the end of the day.

For god sake get Kohli in test team..... Can easily score a ton every match......

 

[Teja.]

I will be so so annoyed if Southee doesn't play.

this.

 

[Daemon]

Will Jeets play despite his 200-3?

 

[SilentOne]

I hope not, I'd like to see 3 seamers. Martin, Southee and Arnel

Massive awta.

XI edited to reflect that.

 

[Shri]

Would be great from our perspective too! If one of the seamers break down it will be 3 bowlers and part timers to face. Worrying, thats more than what the kiwis had in the 1st test.<_<

3 bowlers and part timers > 2 bowlers, Jeets, and part timers

 

[Shri]

Yeah, thats what I meant in the last line of my post.

 

[Zinzan]

Southee must play in the next test.

I disagree, aside from 2 good spells (on debut & against Oz in Brisbane) in conventional swinging conditions, Southee's bowling in test matches has offered pretty much nil. Why has everyone suddenly lost interest in McKay? I like the prospect of a left-armer who bowls good lines at 140+ kms. Even Arnel's accuracy would be more a better option than Southee IMHO.

 

[Chewie]

I reckon McCullum should be given the ball tbh. Shock factor. Boucher and Dhoni have test wickets so i don't see why he can't.

Called it.

Just got back from my trip. I could tell we weren't going to win it from there, despite our good start.

If Franklin did play at 3, then you could play Jeets, and still have a 3man bowling attack (though Franklin isn't much of a first change bowler really...).

I can't see them changing much of the side though. Just Bennett.
