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

We haven't even got the last wicket yet Turb ffs. Don't jump ahead, another 60 runs and who knows. We can't be thinking of 10 wicket victory, we don't even have the victory secured!

Not sure why people are focusing so much on our batting when Australia has put together 2 pretty good totals on this pitch - it doesnt matter how we got 'em, we have

The problem is that our bowling, and in particular Lyon, is culpable for the situation as there is no way in the wide world that India should have managed a lead of the magnitude that they achieved

Furthermore, the insistence that Lyon must play in the next test is the biggest joke that I have ever heard.

The guy went for over 200 at 4.5 runs per over on a pitch that should have suited him

**** knows what he needs to do to get dropped if that isnt sufficient

Never liked this meaning of gambhiring. How about
- trying to distract from your gutless display by tearfully predicting revenge once the universe aligns itself in your favour as it should, or
- being utterly conceited and gloating about winning once this happens... I have no doubt that's what he's doing right now.

Michael Clarke should have been given out twice by the time he made 20. But he wasn't.

DRS says no.

Turb's work and Uni schedules have long suspiciously coincided with the days and sessions of play when India does well.

yeah but does ashwin have philander's gorgeous smile

And Clarke said to Lyon, "Be there at the end!"

Oh no, a grand total of 8 posts, while your team gets bitch slapped for 4 days. You've caught me!

Lyon playing really well here

I know Australia has no chance at this stage, but it still strikes me as odd that Henriques is so happy to take singles early in the over.

What are you talking about, fool? I've been here the whole test. You're never here when India cop a pizzling (ie, every away series). Mysteriously turn up when they have a win at home. Ridiculously transparent fair-weather supporter.

Steve Waugh did it throughout his career and it worked more often than not

 

[dermo]

how many do we need to have a realistic chance? i say 110-120 and then we'd need to have them 3 or 4 down for less than 25 to really have a shot

Lyon has already faced 71 deliveries. Gotta trust him eventually
