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

[Spikey]

you guys are too ****in spoiled. The way Hilf, Siddle and Johnson are abused it seems they are useless buggers eventhough their career records are as good as any current fast bowler barring Steyn.

well see it's sorta like mohammad sami. yeah the average of 52 is already bad. but actually seeing him play.......

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Yeah but at his age that's not enough unfortunately, I'd give him till the end of the England series later this year. Probably even less if he's not scoring too many runs from here on in.

4 centuries and 3 half centuries since the England series started. Surely other guys more at risk?

 

[Ruckus]

Should have claimed it.

 

[BeeGee]

Interesting stat: In Dravid's last 22 dismissals he has had 8 bowled and 0 LBW.

 

[Burgey]

Clarke should have had a crack there, Dhoni style.

 

[Anil]

Should have claimed it.

yeah that was surprising...probably thought about it for a few seconds...

 

[Contra]

LOL Ganguly.. awesome commentary. Good to see an unbiased commentator commenting, hopefully he doesn't get ruined by the others around him.

 

[Vroomfondel]

Should have claimed it.

First the triple century, and now this. Definitely not himself

 

[Burgey]

yeah that was surprising...probably thought about it for a few seconds...

Knowing its Gambhir, he's backing himself for another soon.

Be funny if he did it off Tendulkar

 

[Spark]

I love this. Just well-disciplined pressure bowling on a flat deck.

Laxman's probably at more risk, but other than that nope, he's also the oldest at 38 (turning 39 this year) so not much time left for him unless he keeps scoring. He's dropped a ton of catches too of late.

depends on what you define as funny, no one will hear the end of it for the next 5 years...and it would certainly cement clarke's reputation as a bit of an arsehole...

Yeah this is where than first test in SL was so good. Really showed the value of someone like Copeland.

2nd Test too.

True about the catches and I'd agree with you if he stops scoring runs, but Laxman definitely more at risk. Gambhir and Kohli more at risk too - at least before this knock from Gambhir IMO.

 

[DingDong]

the master looking pretty good here

Kohli I don't really count, neither Gambhir. I meant in terms of retirement both Laxman and Dravid are going to hang in there only through sheer runs as neither play ODI Cricket and they're old. They don't have many redeeming factors if they don't' score runs. Especially Dravid, the way he's played this series is a bit worrying, his first 20 odd runs at the MCG aside, he's been struggling a little too much for someone who's suppose to be "in form".

Hmmm. Fair enough. I just don't think he's your problem (slip catching aside, of course)

 

[Noble One]

I don't mind this bowling. Hilfenhaus and Siddle have been on the mark for quite some time now. Pressure cricket in an era that batsman need to feel the bat on ball.

As I type this Gambhir loses his nerve.

 

[Vroomfondel]

this is ****ing amazing bowling.
