***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

[BoyBrumby]

What sort of total gives Oz a chance? If they can stumble to 150 that'd mean a 200+ chase, which wouldn't be a cakewalk.

Looks a fair distance off from here, like.

Easier to get the ball squarer if you collapse your back leg.

Easier to get out if you're trying to play a full ball square..

 

[Turbinator]

Have a bad feeling these two may just script an epic partnership here. All the makings of a cinderella story, answer your critics, etc etc.

 

[Ruckus]

Lol, how did Marsh manage to drag that back there? Was nearly a full bunger. Extraordinary new levels of retardation.

lol

Hussey at least looks like he actually knows what game he is supposed to be playing.


Always a good sign

 

[L Trumper]

47 is up ... now we are playing

 

[Contra]

Zaheer should be bowling to Hussy and Sharma to Ponting. Gotta stop these singles.

 

[TumTum]

Did Richie just say Zaheer looks a good prospect?

 

[Uppercut]

Ponting's looking a lot better than he was at this stage in the first innings.

200 and Australia with a 90+% chance of win IMO. India will have trouble chasing anything more than 140-150.

Yadev I think

 

[Contra]

I like this angle from Zaheer for the right handers.

 

[hazsa19]

Ponting looks so tentative, worried even when he plays those drives.

 

[benchmark00]

Not really, you can get far more power and control if you square drive something very full.

Having said that, he shouldn't have played at the ball at all.

 

[Burgey]

Haha richie is such a footwork fiend.

Old fashioned footwork.

Who'd ever think it + balance = security + runs.

 

[Kylez]

Reckon CA could get him in as batting coach?


At the very least they'll be no more playing of Eye Of The Tiger at training

Clearly not enough 'intent' being shown here.

 

[L Trumper]

Ponting's looking a lot better than he was at this stage in the first innings.

Don't put the knockers on. Him and hussey shouldn't change ends play zaheer and ishant just the same

 

[Teja.]

Will be interesting to see how Ashwin goes.

 

[pup11]

Haha, you're not suggesting he'd have stopped this happening, surely?

Surely the result could have been the same but if Uzi or Hughes would have been playing then atleast we would have been backing two young players with excellent FC records.

 

[benchmark00]

Don't worry bois, still got Kraigg Brathwaite in the sheds.
