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

[wellAlbidarned]

Don't think he's **** tbh - he's young and raw, bowling on a flat deck on a stinking day to two blokes in epic form, and he's had a brain fart. Wouldn't be the first young bloke it's happened to.

I don't personally think he's ****, but I was assuming that most posters on PP probably do.

>>Put in two midwickets
>>Bowl short outside off

Really is woeful stuff and compounded by the fact that there is a little bit of reverse on the very rare occasions when he pitches it up

Honestly cant believe that they have picked Sharma for this test - shades of Hilf from the last Ashes

 

[Burgey]

Zaheer having a chat to Ishant about reverse swing. I think if I were Ishant I might ask him if he would like to carry his not insubstantial weight and bowl more than four overs in any given spell.

Honestly, what has happened to Pup? He scores fast.

 

[TumTum]

Honestly, what has happened to Pup? He scores fast.

He always scores fast in Tests. We'll see what he does in the ODI series.

You'd think no-one thought to mention to the Indians that Adelaide's square boundaries are in the neighbourhood of half as long as the straight ones.

How cute, Ashwin's bowing for turn.

Haha yeah, he's a bit like Laxman - scores relatively fast in tests, and relatively slowly in ODIs. In fact, they play almost the same game in both formats - that's the problem.

Except Clarke actually scores runs consistently in ODIs, unlike Laxman.

Sometimes that actually makes it worse though, funnily enough.

This **** cuts pretty deep. So disappointing as an Indian fan.

Don't worry mate, you'll win at home.

[Spark]

OK that's genuine bad luck.

 

[Spikey]

nah still not unlucky

 

[Zinzan]

I won't say "I told you so" then

 

[Top_Cat]

On Sharma.

Is still a better option than Yadav on AO, tbh. The only way Yadav's going for < 4 rpo is if he bowls too wide to be hit.

Meh, it's **** vs steaming pile of ****. Sharma's more likely to bowl well and maybe some form going into their next series, for mine.

Absolute Nonsense

[Zinzan]

Ponting is such a champ !!

 

[Zinzan]

Wtf, I didn't realize Sharma's bowling average is 37.5, must be one of the worst of all-time amongst pace bowlers taking over 100 wickets

 

[Burgey]

Think that's our day.

Nice to see India proving Haddin right. If Haddin himself was part of the Indian team, it'd be perfect.

True.

 

[Spark]

India aren't quite out of it though. 3/335 is hardly unusual for Day 1 Adelaide.
