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

[Burgey]

Ahhh, a snake's hiss.

As opposed to a Tom Tit.

 

[Furball]

Erasmus seriously has no idea about lbw decisions... Doesn't believe in giving batsman out lbw.

If only there was a way to utilise the technology Channel 9 just used to help the umpires...

 

[Contra]

come on Ashwin get us a wicket.

 

[Spark]

tbf that Ponting one looked outside the line live

Yeah. Not a howler by any means but one that would have been overturned.

Using slang to explain a slang?

Fairly confident "slash" is in common usage in Oz. The 12th Man albums have made jokes about it, in fact. "He's had a wild slash and just dribbled down leg", etc.

Ashwin on, interesting times.

 

[Teja.]

Australia effectively 113-4.

India can't chase anything more than 180 so Australia is on top.

Hussey looks set for a big one.

 

[L Trumper]

From the POV purely of the two fellas at the crease, the match situation may peversely work to their advantage. Only Haddin really to come who can play the big knock. Run hard, emphasis on rotating the strike, hit the gaps.

I know it sounds kind of puerile, but it may be the first time in quite a while they're just looking to advance the game and not worrying about their form.

Awta. Especially against ashwin

"When Michael Clarke was a lad he practiced with a stump, all day & all night, inside-edging a golf ball onto a bin."

Has happened a bit of late.

Don't even have to see who you quoted to know who from here would do that.

 

[Straight Drive]

Yeah ridiculous pessimism. THIS IS NOT A BAD BATTING DECK. India were 200/3 at one stage. The pitch has hardly changed...

200/3 was largely due to Sachin & Dravid, the rest made it look like a minefield

Anywhere apart from MCG for sure. But not sure scoring a 100 is possible on this pitch, he also got a terrible record here

.

um why?

Btw if you guys honestly think we are so far ahead at 64/4, what would classify as India being ahead? 20/6? 10/9 maybe?

Not to mention Sehwag's lucky innings..pretty even right now... Only need one Partnership and they will be on top.
Don't see India.chasing anything more than 220 odd runs

 

[hazsa19]

It's evens. Add 2 wickets and India are on top. Add 100 runs and Aus are on top.

 

[Teja.]

More than the score, It's the fact that there are two bats at the crease who look set for a lot of runs tbh.

I thought it was even up till about 45/4.

Indeed. I call it a Michael Slater.

Why the **** isn't Zak bowling to Hussey?

 

[Burgey]

Channel Nine graphic shows Hussey as right handed.

I mean, they've never seen him before.
