***Official*** India in Australia 2014-5

[Jono]

India's day really. Basically 5 wickets on a first day on an Adelaide pancake with a Kohli double ton already locked in. Good stuff.

Was taking the piss but now

 

[Swingpanzee]

So need a Smith-Johnson counterpunch tomorrow. Even honours I believe, India with the momentum.

 

[viriya]

If Aus aren't careful they won't have Clarke for the WC..

 

[morgieb]

So who's ahead with a score of around 400? Been very few in between scores here batting first, either they go big or it isn't anywhere near enough.

That Australian tail, though. Siddle and Johnson will smash atleast 70 between them.

 

[Swingpanzee]

The team you're supporting?

Harris can play a bit as well.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Harris can play a bit as well.

Yeah. They'll get 450 imo.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bit annoyed by how surprised the commentators were with Lyon being sent in. He's been nightwatchman several times. Obvious that Manjrekar and Akram haven't watched much Australian cricket recently. Wasn't a bad move even if it didn't come off imo. Lyon almost got to the end and Haddin just got a decent ball at the end .

 

[Hurricane]

Haddin deserved to be out for hovering on the crease. Get forward or get back.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Yeah. They'll get 450 imo.

Kind of obvious but it depends how India bowl imo, they have a history of doing inane things when they are on top. Even if Australia get like a 415 they're not totally out of it since they have runs on the board and the bowling I'm sure we can say is better than that of India (on paper). It'd just be more satisfying to score about 450-500.

 

[the big bambino]

Sort of thinking we'll get 408.

 

[Burgey]

Just said in the news Clarke has had a couple if injections tonight. If the prognosis is he's ****ed for the summer, he may as well come in tomorrow and throw wood/ stonewall to get TPC to his triple.

 

[anil1405]

Aussies gonna score 500+

 

[Bahnz]

Doesn't really matter if they do or don't. With the bounce evident on day 1, Australia probably have just about enough runs on the board already to bowl India out twice.

 

[Antihippy]

If Aus aren't careful they won't have Clarke for the WC..

Should we really count that as a negative?

No disrespect to the bloke but I think the one day side really doesn't need him anymore.

 

[Burgey]

Never mind all the back injury MalClarkey, how good was Smitteh today? TPC gonna TPC.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Doesn't really matter if they do or don't. With the bounce evident on day 1, Australia probably have just about enough runs on the board already to bowl India out twice.

If we bat like we did in those three tests, then yeah.

 

[Jono]

That Australian tail, though. Siddle and Johnson will smash atleast 70 between them.

That's tomorrow.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's tomorrow.

Was making a more general point about the game, not necessarily day 1. Been a good day for Virat Kohli (c***)
