**** you gambhir. When the bowler is at his mark, you're ready to face.

Gee, where's the swagger the miserable **** had back two years ago in india?

Why is Clarke pandering to Gambhir....he should just walk up to him ...pretend like he agrees and then smack him where it hurts the most

 

[Furball]

do you also love cancer

Best post.

Yes; that would be a fantastic idea.... :/

Whats there to bitch when your fielders can't stay put.

 

[Jacknife]

I really do hope to see a bit of Dravid masterclass after lunch, love watching him bat.

 

[Ruckus]

Really poor stuff from the bowlers, especially Pattinson. Might have been feeling a bit tired, pace was down too. Still a good little session for us. Very glad that Sehwag has gone.

Funny.

 

[Cabinet96]

Way more so than most others batsmen. Compare him to the likes of Cook & Trott for example

Cook gets a third of his runs apdown to third man to be honest.

And again, they're trying to get Gambhir fencing at one short of a length on or outside off, like the first dig.

Yeah I would've used exactly that if it was an actual emoticon; cbf getting links though.

Agree regarding Pattinson. He didn't bowl with the pace or the movement from the first innings. You could tell by his run-up that he was holding back a touch, as when fired up he really steams in. A touch of the Brett Lee in his bowling style that Lee either stormed in or had the easy approach to the wicket.

 

[GIMH]

You can do better than that, surely. Was a fair enough post.

Gambhir is a **** ****, just FTR

BCCInfo defending gambhir's tactics, priceless haha

Pull away before the bowler is halfway through his action then.

Easier said than done against Hilf and his pathetic excuse for a run up

I get that, but they didn't execute that plan well at all. Bowled too wide consistently at him whenever it was short for it to work.

Even without the benefit of a tosh.0 breakdown I would say:

He was set, saw Marsh moving in the field and heard talk thus thought the delivery was a few secs away, looked up and was shocked to see Hilf about to deliver and at the last moment then stepped away.

Yeah he clearly hadn't looked up until Hilf was at the umpire. Nothing wrong with him pulling away.

hopefully Gambhir can **** off quick so that I can watch an hour of Dravid-Sachin before I leave for work.
