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

Solid trolling.

I knew I'd get at least one bite, as posts subsequent to yours show

Never underestimate the gullibility of CW forumers.

Playing in India is like playing at the Adelaide Oval, in the sense that you need to get your runs in the 1st innings

450 at least

 

[howardj]

Poor of Clarke to fly home too

 

[Cevno]

Pietersen had already moved from five to four though.

Didn't KP have a short stint at three and it went about as well as Tendulkar's captaincy?

Has played 1 match at three in Dhaka against Bangladesh. Averages 119.

And Sachin has batted at 5, 6 and even at 7 too.

Pujara should just remind Patto about what he did to him and his mates at Hyderabad in response to that sledge.

Another response is to soft-hand guide him through slips for 4 to piss him off even more.

Che what a man.

That just illustrates the point. Happy to have a night watchman to protect him, but not prepared to put himself out for the side. He's a putz.

Cevno stfu and stop responding.

 

[social]

Such a dodgy technique

 

[Cevno]

I think we did bat more than a few, tbh.

Pietersen isn't quite held in the same esteem in Blighty as Sachin is in India.

Better batsman currently tho, but. Injury notwithstanding.

It was the right decision moving up Bell for mine. And it was the right decision moving up Laxman.

And how's being regarded in high regard or not relevant anyway in terms of what suits the team better?

basically what you're saying is that in 325 test innings it has never been in the team's best interest that tendulkar batted 3. seems legit

Point out the specific test where it has been in the best interest's and he has not batted at 3.

He opened when it was needed under his own captaincy in tests ffs. Shifted to the middle order in ODI's for a while before the 2007 WC and even in the WC when Greg Chappell wanted to test his weird and stupid theories despite not many liking the move and being in much better form opening.

Edit - If he bats at 3 he will be accused of being selfish and trying to hog the limelight and deny the youngsters a chance after runs on the board at home atleast. Can't win either way.

Bitch, please. Pujara is a good player but if he plays away for his body like this away from home he will have slips catching practice. What happens in Hyderabad or anywhere in India is irrelevant to the rest of world cricket. It's like Pujara hitting Patto for six and the latter reminding him that he tore his head off with the new rock on a fast track in Perth after he'd left the field to change undies because one bounced above knee height.

Let me know when a wicket falls.

Burgey getting warmed up, should be a fun session

This is just asking for it ffs. Will hate you if it happens now.

 

[WindieWeathers]

What is going on with Australia? battle back and get a decentish 260, but the pacers just haven't got going today!!!.. johnson bowling pies and Patto seems to have lost confidence since he didn't complete his homework!!.. the whole thing is a mess, get maxwell out there to bowl another dazzling spell again!!.

Nah look I saw Pujara and Vijay bat for a whole day in Hyderabad sitting on ****ty Indian cricket stadium seats. I want one of these ****s to go out too.

 

[Teja.]

Hope Pujara doesn't waste a start again. Has happened thrice this series, iirc.

The bloke looks impeccable getting to a quick 30 and then gets out in the most innocuous fashion.

Then again he also scored a double couple of matches ago so..

 

[Burgey]

Can see they're trying to bowl straight, but just too leg sideish. Annoying. Should just bowl four short ones an over, and a Beamer.

 

[biased indian]

Such a dodgy technique

and bowlers still struggle to get him out...some poor bowlers out there to help him prosper
