I'm hoping for a repeat of day 2 in Sydney, where India COULD take a couple of wickets if they bowl well, but end up taking something like 1-400 for the whole day.

Btw does anyone know what was said between Sharma and Warner, or the general gist of it at least?

At one stage you could definitely hear Warner saying to Sharma "why don't you go and get ****ed?" Was gold, especially since Aleem Dar was standing in between him and Sharma.

The only thing I heard clearly was Warner say "Why dont you get your facts right" to Sharma.

Does anybody here agree that Warner is actually much, much better at batting than Watson?

EDIT: eg. 2 tons in 8 innings VS 2 tons in 58 innings.

Absolutely gutted that I elected not to get up early and watch the evening session. :(

Had a good chuckle when I saw the scorecard. New Zealand must be fuming, being denied a chance of a series victory in Australia to give this shower 4 Tests.

Day 1 scorecard:

- Seeing how many times the trotting track is mentioned - check
- How many times Richie mentions the Fremantle Doctor coming in - check, though not Richie
- Ian Chappell regaling us with stories about how Jeff Thompson used to hit the sight screen on the full whilst bowling - check

- Tony Greig blaming BCCI for all of cricket's ills - check
- Ian Healy saying something offensive about a former cricketer then everyone nervously laughing it off - check [mankinis for one]
- Heals or Slats to mimic Richie's way of saying "2" at least once - not today
- At least one shot of Brett Lee bowling in the nets - not today
- How the outfield is "lightning quick" - check
- Richie (most likely candidate) complaining about the slips being too deep - check, though not Richie
- Someone stealing Bill Lawry's "It's all happening" - can't recall but it wouldn't surprise me
- Tony Greig talking up KFC Hotspot - check
- Richie mentioning a random moment from a test match played in the 1940s or 50s - not there this test match... although Chappelli was on fire with mentions of random WA pace bowlers from his and his preceding eras
- Curator's name mentioned at least 10 times before lunch - check
- If Warner gets out - "that's just how he plays". If Sehwag gets out - "terrible shot, he should know better." - check
Plus, they've increasingly mentioned how Siddle runs in all day this season. - check


Let's make a daily game of this.... :

First Channel 9 commentator to mention:
1. Gloucester Park trotting track
2. Fremantle Doctor
3. How WACA pitches are always fast and bouncy
4. How this WACA pitch is not as fast and bouncy as previous WACA pitches
5. "Lightning Fast" outfield (or similar description)
6. The "Old" Scoreboard
7. Cam Sutherland
8. The Seagulls
9. BCCI's refusal to use DRS
10. How wonderful Hot Spot is
11. Jeff Thompson
12. A random player or moment in a match from before 1960
13. "That's how Warner plays"
14. How Siddle runs in all day
15. Slips being too deep

16. First session that Heals will insult a former player or fellow commentator in:
17. First session that Chappelli will talk about 'adjusting up' to bounce:
18. First session that Bill will say "It's all happening":
19. First session that Tony Greig will insult India or Indian cricket:
20. First session that Tubby's weight or lack of athleticism will be made fun of:

Just stunned that even after Haddin mocked the indian team India justified those statements and fell like a pack of cards!!..just sad to see, especially when it's coming against an average Aussie team who just drew at home to NZ.
