***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

I just hope they keep their fluids up. I've heard dehydration can become a factor once you get to 130+ runs.

 

[ajdude]

yeah just crack open a can of solo they'll be right

 

[Burgey]

Dunno about flogged morgie. We've got some pretty decent bowlers mate. you're always a shout in any game if you've decent bowlers, even if you'renot posting huge scores.

Also, brand new Watto in the middle order....

 

[Daemon]

Hard to see India taking the series. We might win a test when Patto is rotated/injured.

 

[Tangles]

No idea who's going to win. So many unknown factors. We do need Clarkeh to keep posting big scores though.

 

[Burgey]

Any word on the toss yet ffs?

 

[Daemon]

Bhuv in for Ojha /fp

Australia won the toss and will bat first.

 

[Burgey]

Ta mate.

Our best chance to post anything remotely decent, you'd think.

 

[Daemon]

ffs. our best bowler in the last series just got dropped for a dude who hasn't bowled well since south africa 3 years ago. our best seamer has been dropped for no reason. our next best pace bowler is injured. the top bowling prospects in domestic cricket besides bhuvneshwar have all been ignored and ****ing dinda has been preferred over them.

i mean at best we're still a **** bowling side but ffs the selectors don't even give us a chance.

 

[morgieb]

lol India. Lose the toss and don't pick their best bowler.

 

[benchmark00]

Wait wait wait... ojha got dropped?? So good!

 

[dermo]

and here i was talking about mongoloid australian selectors

 

[Daemon]

pretty sure the plan is to bat out draws since we bat to 10 with this lineup.

 

[morgieb]

A gun twelve months for cricket in Australia. This, Champions Trophy, Ashes x2 and a tour of South Africa.

 

[silentstriker]

Bhuvneshwar Kumar? FFS, another one for the wheel. They're just throwing darts at this point.

And let's drop our best bowler. For Ashwin and Harby. FFS.

The NUFAN theorem.

 

[silentstriker]

pretty sure the plan is to bat out draws since we bat to 10 with this lineup.

Considering form, that's like batting to four for a legitimate side.

 

[ajdude]

gotta give it to whoever's doing the broadcast, i like their intro

except for that bit with border and gavaskar, sachin saying "welcome to india cricket" while slightly gramatically incorrect was tolerable

 

[ajdude]

**** james looks identical to darren with a shaved head

 

[Daemon]

Surely it was Harbhajan vs Ashwin. So mad atm.
