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

[Spark]

that's a horrific attempt at a slips catch

 

[Cabinet96]

What the **** was that catching technique?

 

[wellAlbidarned]

johnson doing his ritual compression of the middle of the pitch

 

[Riggins]

that's ****ing horrendous catching technique.

 

[dermo]

This is going to sound weird but I think that's actually been the biggest improvement he made to his game while he was out of the reckoning. When he gets beaten he doesn't follow the ball with his hands like he used to; he just gets beaten.

yeah he seems a lot more compact, you notice a lot of his drives aren't going for boundaries, he's pushing them through gaps for ones and twos and its probably a result of him not chasing the ball as much

still had a lot of luck though

 

[Gnske]

That technique was superb, only a man with no arms could have done better.

 

[anil1405]

Dhawan's pretty wasteful.

Wasteful is the apt word and thats the frustrating part being an Indian fan. Its not often that you get yourself set at the crease in Australia and he has just given it away by being stupid.

 

[Spark]

Geez that's a jaffa

 

[Cabinet96]

Is it me or do people use the term leg cutter incorrectly?

He's edged that btw.

 

[Contra]

lol Johnson there's no fielder there

nothing on hotspot

 

[morgieb]

Interesting Johnson conceded an overthrow.

 

[Cabinet96]

Giving Vijay the single at one down.

 

[morgieb]

Plenty of edges haven't appeared on HotSpot.

That said, it was implied that the noise could be from batsman movements.

No chance in hell of any human being hearing that noise.

 

[dognutz]

I live in Brisbane and it's ******* hot. If the batsmen can dig in then Johnson and co might find this hard going

 

[Prince EWS]

Is it me or do people use the term leg cutter incorrectly?

It's a problem stemming from the fact that we don't have a cricketing term for what they mean when they say that. Maybe we should try to popularise "outseamer".

 

[Cabinet96]

Is that the same sub as last year?

Edit: NVM, just saw Brettig's tweet.

 

[watson]

Lyon's bowling to Vijay, first spell. Classic.

 

[Spark]

Well that was odd. I don't think we bowled badly so much as aimlessly, and Vijay had his fair share of luck (again)
