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

[Cevno]

Think he meant last time Aus toured here.

Edit - Oh he didn't.

 

[ajdude]

**** me dead, this is straight from the cricket commentator's vernacular but it's exquisite

this is un****ingbelievable hahahahaha and every delivery deserves this treatment

Dhawan is a poor man's Sehwag, will get found out soon enough

His FC record overall isn't that great - but this is the first time I've seen him bat - looks great here but I can easily see him suffering. We'll find out in SA - just based on this innings, he has probably booked a ticket there (how many Tests between now and then?)

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Love the way every time Dhawan hits a four, the camera moves progressively closer in to Clarke's face.

 

[Cevno]

Well, i've been somewhat of a fan of Dhawan since his U19 days and nominated him for a few BOTFC's but this was a bit unexpected.

Guess, he can dominate in such conditions but on Debut this has been impressive.

 

[Arachnodouche]

This is some super aggro stuff though. I'm only following cricinfo and there seem to be a couple of hits to the fence every over.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

The king is dead long live the king by the looks of this. Sehwag has a replacement.

 

[benchmark00]

God I was hoping it wasn't going to be Ravi or Sunny.

None, if the Pakistan series doesn't happen.

He is a compulsive puller and has a problem with balls coming in. Can sometimes throw his wicket away too due to concentration issues.

Hopefully real soon

Vijay debuted in 2008 against the Aussies, ftr.

He's had 3 comebacks against the same team now and done decently.

HIs expressions are priceless The last after the 4 byes

Great batting and some horrible bowling

yeah but he scored that century when he debuted in 2010 and then another debut ton in hyderabad

 

[silentstriker]

I'm surprised most things have been on the ground. (Saying that, watch him get out to a lofted shot)

 

[silentstriker]

Wow 80 runs in 10 overs...that's good going in a T20....

He will do good on flat pitches and reasonably well on turners. Pace will be his problem I guess. If he can be consistent on Indian pitches, it pays to persist with him, but if he is going to be terrible overseas and hit and miss in India, then no point.

Feel sorry for him TBF. Reminds me of Dravid in England a little bit.

Footwork is pretty non-existent against pace but when you're hitting as well as he is, who cares?

That's some gambhiring worthy of the innovator himself.

Which he may do, given he's about to lose his job.
