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

I swear that's atleast the fourth bowled that's resulted in the stumps cartwheeling.

Hopefully that's the end of Harby for the series

I hope this innings will stop people underestimating Dhoni as a test batsman. He is definitely test class in Indian conditions.

He is only test class in Indian conditions and where the ball doesnt bounce above the knee

Slips catching practice elsewhere

Getting a bad feeling. OZ to be 4/****-all by stumps.

 

[Spikey]

watson to use that dropped catch as evidence as to why cowan should not open

 

[ajdude]

things more likely to take a clean grab than wade

Does this even count as a prediction these days?

 

[Top_Cat]

Good point, upping it to 6/****-all.

In response:
2. Hawkeye replay showed Tendulkar LBW would have hit off stump,

I'm assuming that the on field umpire had decided he was playing a shot. I would have given it, but it's unclear whether it would have been given by DRS. It certainly wasn't a decision that warrants a lot of moaning about - he was very far forward and it wasn't clear whether the ball had turned too much etc. If Hawkeye showed it hitting then I'm sure it was, but there's still the issue of whether the umpire deems him to be playing a shot.

Jadeja was LBW to Starc (clearly pad before bat),

Yes, I was giving that, although on review it might have only marginally been in line with off stump. But I'll give you this one.

Dhoni clearly did not inside edge that one from Patto

rewind. open eyes. watch replays.

If you still think he didn't edge in then I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Hotspot would have shown a big edge.

Bhaji was plumb.

I was also giving that. 2 by my count.

3. Yep Clarke was lucky and...
4. ...there were also two aussies tailenders who were lucky, but India have had 3 batsmen get reprieves and one tailender.

Generous to call Jadeja a batsman (or a bowler, but that's another story) but he was out shortly afterwards. Harbhajan didn't cost Aus much either.

Long story short, when you factor in the Clarke dismissal things even out. As a neutral observer I just don't think Australia have much to complain about.

Would've been very happy had Harbhajan been given second ball. I hate watching that **** bat.

it could be worse guys maxwell could've played AND taken wickets

Yes Dharma has done well there, growing up in juicy, seam friendly conditions like Sri Lanka didn't harm him there..........

Pat Cash gotta be hard up for a quid.
