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

[TT Boy]

Is this the first ever second innings hundred on the first day?

Does anyone know a way to check?

Graeme Smith has done it before.

 

[Noble One]

It's funny, only two hours ago Australia wrapped up the Indian tail with a ball that was hooping all over the place in the 60th over.

India now hardly moving the ball (apart from Zaheer who would swing a shot-put).

 

[Spark]

C. Gull now India's best ground fieldsman with that sensational stop.

How did I miss this?

Beaten on the edge three times in this over. Pancake, sure.

 

[uvelocity]

is it strange to clap in your own loungeroom?

 

[wellAlbidarned]

No spice in it. It's flat as a pancake. India just can't bat for ****.

They can't bowl for **** either, this isn't a totally flat deck.

Terrible post.

 

[Daemon]

Good last over. Should wrap them up for 200 odd by lunch tomorrow I reckon.

It doesn't matter what the conditions or the deck are, you still have to bowl well to get wickets.

Warner would have had no problems with that last over if he'd tried to hit those balls over long-on for 6 instead of defending

 

[adub]

**** this guy is gonna be rolling in snatch and cash if he can repeat that with any consistency. Superstar in the making.

 

[NasserFan207]

Amazing innings that. Warner is a beast.

Disagree, too much movement to slog those.

This got over-looked a bit. That was very encouraging from Starc

 

[benchmark00]

Australia just with their noses ahead imo.

 

[morgieb]

David Warner, what a ****ing star!

 

[Howe_zat]

Calling it as Australia's day.

 

[silentstriker]

Very interesting to see what the short term changes will be. India don't tour again for a very long time, so whatever changes are made won't be apparent for at least two years. Dhoni will be the captain since there is no one else who isn't about to retire and is also a Test class player.

Aside from Sachin, Zaheer, Laxman, and Dravid - even Sehwag and Gambhir all will not be on the next overseas tour.

Good call.

 

[social]

Jeez, that whole day was an absolute mullering of the first degree

Best thing is that the guys who were primarily responsible are either just starting out or have got years left in their careers

No idea what India were thinking by leaving Ashwin out - their tail is ridiculously long and the bowling .....

 

[Pothas]

Know it was slower but how fast was the Roy Fredericks?

Bloody Perth time though, missed nearly all of it.
