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

[Prince EWS]

Get Sehwag on. Has troubled these two more than anyone since they started their partnership.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Hussey and Clarke seem quiet today.

...too quiet.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Did anyone check twitter? Kohli was telling KP that someone from the crowd insulted his mum and sister.

 

[duffer]

I meant today.

No declaration today = 700+ on the board, gives India 2 days to bat out and no chance of a win. Unless there's a dodgy forecast, there really isn't much to gain by declaring IMO.

There is. At the ground and its gray as **** put here. It will rain at some point.

 

[Burgey]

Comedy gold here as Harsha Bhogle is being fed the hottest chilli in the world whilst trying to commentate.

 

[Spark]

It being gray all day =/= rain. The surprise summer storm that comes seemingly from nowhere is more common.

 

[Ruckus]

Hussey and Clarke seem quiet today.

...too quiet.

Bee Keeper #1: "Sure is quiet here today."
Bee Keeper #2: "Yes, a little TOO quiet, if you know what I mean."
Bee Keeper #1: "No, I'm afraid I don't."
Bee Keeper #2: "You see, bees usually make a lot of noise, NO NOISE, suggests no bees."
Bee Keeper #1: "Oh, I understand now. Oh look, there goes one."
Bee Keeper #2: "To the bee-mobile!"
Bee Keeper #1: "You mean your Chevy?"
Bee Keeper #2: "Yes."

So he responded to the oldest insult in the book?

 

[Ruckus]

Clarke looks like he is pretty fatigued out there.

 

[Sylvester]

Clarke should definitely look at the world record, it's not often you get a chance to have a crack at it without seriously effecting your teams result.

So weak from him

 

[Spark]

Nah disagree. His batting last session yesterday was "fatigued". This is just him getting set again.

 

[R_D]

Not condoning what Kohli did.. really reflects badly on him.

Just saying...
What I have noticed people in India tend to get easily offended when their mum or sister are insulted even if it's in joking sort of a way.

Time for a walkout threat then.

 

[Ruckus]

Yeah haha exactly, get some cojones mate. I really don't know what he'd be like as a person, but he sure makes it hard for people to like him.

 

[Spark]

Gee that's not a bad grouping... even if it is in the wrong place.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

If he makes it, Clarke will declare at 401* IMO. They'll be looking to bat to tea regardless if not all out, and then he'll go for the record if he's still in.

Overall tea seems like a reasonable declaration, still leaves seven sessions to bowl India out, which is pretty safe.

 

[Prince EWS]

From earlier in the thread:

Yadav Khan Ishant Ashwin is a lot better than the bowlers in England

I mean it looked pretty bad at the time too, buuuttt...

They probably said his mum would make a better Test number 6 than him.
