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

Sehwag would be a poor dancer.

 

[Spikey]

i'm gonna go down to the shops and buy some eggs that's how bored i am

At least the Aussies aren't bowling with a scrambled seam. I'm betting that Indian fans are not happy that they poached Duncan Fletcher.

Cricinfo:

shantanu: "Indian team has successfully crushed the CA, if not the Australian Cricket team, by finishing all the test matches in 3 to 4 days so far. The ticket sales would have hurted CA."

LOL

 

[Jayzamann]

May as well appeal for that.

 

[stephen]

This is probably the least interesting day of the test match summer so far. Which is unfortunate, because I'm able to watch this one.

 

[Doctor]

After four dots, I was worried that Sehwag had gone into his shell there, but he just laid right into that next shot.

 

[Sylvester]

Sehwag showing Warner how its done on this track.

 

[Burgey]

Sehwag. Isn't he just such a clutch player? To the fore when it matters most.

 

[Jayzamann]

Whatever Sehwag just jog on.

 

[silentstriker]

Sehwag. Isn't he just such a clutch player? To the fore when it matters most.

Haha. He's so ridiculous. People say that's just he way he plays and he doesn't care what the situation is. Which is true. They say that this attribute is positive. That's completely false.

Love the "Moira" AAMI ad. The actress plays the part perfectly.

hahaha too bad aami are a bunch of "morons" and they're everything they say they're not

well i mean you do talk to a person but that's irrelevant when they're an absolute ****stick

Not sure Sehwag is the bloke kids want to be watching when they're learning the technical aspects of cricket.

Haddin appealing for Murali-like spin there.

 

[Doctor]

Sehwag's eggsplosive play is considered to be eggciting by some, but that is eggsactly the mentality that shouldn't be eggcepted, and I"m not eggsaggerating.

Okay, now I'm just beating already scrambled eggs. I'm done.

Haddin appealing for Murali-like spin there.

Here's another problem with the DRS though.

Say an appeal like that goes up, and the ball pitches and hits the pad within no time at all.

Say it's given not out and Australia review, how could Hawkeye possibly show an accurate predicted path?

 

[Jayzamann]

I can understand how seeing Sehwag score tonsa runs would be amazing viewing for Indian fans, but it's frustrating as heck for anyone else.

Siddle channelling his inner North Melbourne in this 2nd innings. Pull your socks up, lad.

So in one completely hypothetical situation Hawkeye might not be very good. Yet we have had a number of concrete examples of situations in this very game where the DRS would have corrected an erroneous outcome. I'd rather go for the system which improves things rather than the one which doesn't.
