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

[Jono]

Yes because the word weekend obviously means the day after the week ends. No wonder you earn less than me.

Lol at the person who pretends like he's a big shot on an internet message board.

 

[Teja.]

Haha, It's funny people are using phrases like Ashwin-esque spinner.

Not one mofo would rate Ashwin as good as Lyon after the England series. Self included.

380 is a good score on this wicket they said.

 

[Contra]

I like the fact that Kohli doesn't get influenced by his partners even when they're going off like Dhoni is currently, good temperament for test cricket.

 

[Spikey]

may as well bowl warner

 

[Contra]

Damn, can't believe I missed Kohli's knock here. Work/studying sucks.

You got work on a sunday?

 

[dermo]

the worst part about this is if we go on to lose there will be an uproar in the media about the lack of a second spinner and we will end up with flogwell or doherty playing the next test

How many times are you just going to go on with this point? Stop making the thread dire, **** sake.

Its a home game, of course it plays towards India's strength.

My point is everyone said India bowled poorly on this pitch. Which was wrong, they bowled okay. Not great, but okay. They kept Australia to less than 400, which is a great effort on a pitch like this. Even if you have spinners, it wasn't doing that much. They only were poor for one partnership.

Nah, India still bowled poorly. It's not about what Australia got; you only had to actually watch the bowling to see India weren't bowling very well overall. India are probably going to end up with a lead here, but that's because the only bowler in Australia's lineup who the pitch suited has also bowled poorly, and India have batted much better than Australia.

The first innings of this match was a exhibition of poor cricket in general; the posters saying India had bowled poorly (or well, me anyway) weren't saying Australia had a score above par or anything. It's just that I watched the game and 80% of India's attack were sending down pies.

You've said it was a 400 pitch. You're saying 380 is no good? Was a decent score first up on this deck.

 

[Jono]

Good effort by India in that powerplay.

 

[dermo]

hahahaahah yessss gazaaaaa

 

[uvelocity]

That was a ****ing amazing shot from Dhoni against Patto.

60 runs of the last 10.

He's bowled considerably better than the England series and its nothing to do with them having better batsmen.

He's been superb.

 

[Spark]

Wow now that's helpful. Quality knock mind.

 

[benchmark00]

It's just results driven posting. So bad.

 

[Jono]

Horrible shot.

 

[Burgey]

And you haven't passed it yet. Nice catch.
