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

[ganeshran]

Steve smith bowling rubbish here. Where are you pupclarke?

 

[LongHopCassidy]

I thought there was no chance of a result?

-ing.

 

[silentstriker]

I thought there was no chance of a result?

When did I say that? Draw was and still is the favorite.

 

[benchmark00]

Here:

Yea but IMO not enough to force a result. It would have to deteriorate REALLY fast for there to be a realistic chance of a result.

 

[benchmark00]

So you're either saying the pitch has deteriorated 'REALLY' fast or there is no realistic chance of a result.

 

[silentstriker]

Here:

Still true. Was surprised by the flurry of wickets by Australia though, but just because it's unrealistic doesn't mean India shouldn't push and try.

 

[silentstriker]

Ugh, no excuses for maidens right now

 

[benchmark00]

You're genuinely crazy if you think a result is unrealistic. Like actually bat **** insane. You can say it's not probable, but unrealistic? Come on.

 

[silentstriker]

So you're either saying the pitch has deteriorated 'REALLY' fast or there is no realistic chance of a result.

I don't think the pitch deteriorated really fast, but I was surprised at the flurry of wickets by Australia so maybe the pitch had more than I initially thought. Or not. Still draw the most likely but a result more likely than I initially thought.

Yea, it's not unrealistic. When Dhawan was batting, based on my reading of the pitch at the time, I thought it was.

 

[benchmark00]

So what have you learned from this?

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Beat it, ****.

 

[silentstriker]

So what have you learned from this?

That I overestimate the Indian lineup way too much. I need to be more pessimistic.

I've still not quite figured out if he deliberately reverse jinxes, Gambhirs, is the most pessimistic person or history or is just entirely clueless but it's straight up pointless engaging silenstriker in a debate over the likely result of a match where India are involved. I actually assumed he wasn't serious for months but when people actually do bother replying he staunchly defends his opinion.

I'm tipping a draw as well ftr, but the fact that silentstriker is tells you nothing of any value whatsoever, and a result is clearly realistic.

 

[Days of Grace]

Can someone tell me how and why the term "gambhiring" came about?

 

[silentstriker]

Think Burgey was the originator. For some reason, he hates the great man.

 

[benchmark00]

Yeah Burgey coined it. It's because Gambhir is an annoying ****, and people who do that type of posting are also annoying.

You can't possibly believe that I believe in jinxing. Gotta be one of the other two.

When I was able, my betting history when India were concerned would have told you the answer.

Well actually, it could still have been one of those two...

 

[Daemon]

India are going to lose imo

Hoping Hughes can get runs in the 2nd dig

Pivotal time in his life

Fork in the road if you will
