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

[benchmark00]

Pretty sure we'd take Ashwin's returns in India from Beer.

didn't see a great deal of the recent series v eng, but 14 @ 52 (especially considering its the poms) and nah I don't think we'd take it given any choice (which I guess we have none)

Nah I won't make the mail boy joke anymore. If it legitimately annoys him I wont' do it.

look you're upset about kohli. I understand. keep making the joke.

 

[Jono]

dhoni must beat off like a mad man his bottom hand is that strong

 

[Cevno]

Yeah Harby does like to bat against the Aussies, I know he has 4-5 fifties against Aus, most of them in crunch situations as well.

This isn't a situation he does well in though.

He'll come and see Dhoni smacking people and haul out somewhere trying to do the same.

Bloody hell, how could you describe Gilchrist as unorthodox? Just a pure ball striker.

Knew that'd piss you off the moment I heard it, especially considering who it came from.

Pattinsons + Siddle please.

Just a bizarre comment. He was attacking, sure. But hardly unorthodox in the same way Dhoni is.

 

[benchmark00]

I think the fact that Ashwin averages 40+ with the ball is masking his ability itbt.


Averages 30 with the bat too.

What a disappointing performance from Lyon. Literally from the minute Dhoni charged him he lost the plot.

Meh, it's not like he doesn't much different otherwise, he doesn't quite have an Ashwin like technique so it's better if he just goes for it and gets some 20-30 odd runs. I don't back Harby's defense in any case, just like Dhoni.

Have one of our quicks swung the ball once?

 

[social]

We'd have a whole thread on how overrated/rubbish someone like Stuart MacGill was if he had bowled half the number of full tosses in an innings that Lyon has today

 

[Burgey]

Have one of our quicks swung the ball once?

They all have.

 

[Contra]

oh wow that was messy and very fortunate

 

[uvelocity]

prince! ****!

 

[Andre]

How come Manjrekar has to find all these ridiculous reasons for people to get out? He played a bad shot, doesn't matter how many runs he is on. Load of absolute dribble. Should sit quietly and take his pay cheque.

 

[Spark]

****'s sake

MacGill used to bowl full tosses all the time, especially when he first came on the scene.
