how do they bring them up

they both bop mohammad shami for six off the last ball (at the same time) after blocking out the last 3 overs

how do they bring them up

I think they'll be looking to play out the day until they both bop Md Shami over long on for six off the last ball of the day.

 

[dermo]

how ****s the crowd been btw, movement behind the bowler, beach balls, attempted mexican waves, **** chanting, anything but watch the cricket

typical victorians and explains why they're so bad at the game

 

[Burgey]

Yessssss

Had India fielded well Aussies would be under 100 and in a chokehold....might well end up in one with another quick wicket

 

[Hurricane]

Shami is running in here.

 

[ajdude]

Yessssss

holy **** that was so good.

 

[ajdude]

Shami is running in here.

tends to be a better strategy for fast bowlers than walking in.

We can talk about India's production line of promising young quicks who go to the ****ter after 18 months if you'd like to discuss something different..

Shami bowling a lot better now. Better lines and length, pace is good, not overdoing the short ball.

 

[ajdude]

the sooner one of these two ****s goes out the sooner joe burns can bring up his debut triple ton

Ashwin is a proper decent cricketer. India didn't get enough flack for not picking him in Adelaide.

Eh, Ponting scored about five thousand runs off people thinking they could get him LBW though.

I remember his shuffle was more pronounced when he wasn't seeing them so well trying to prempt the bowling. It was just a phase and he came out of it of course

Yeah it's a bit like Clarke with the short ball these days. There's something there that you could target, but if you get it wrong or he gets through it, you're going to be chasing leather all day (and then some), and you'd probably just be better off trying to nick him off or bowl him (in Clarke's case)

 

[dognutz]

True. You might get him lbw but at what cost?

Come to think of it Ponting's problems arose because his weight was falling away to off as he shuffled. That's not something I have noticed in Smith yet as he is usually well balanced

Yep. Smith's back and across works really well - in fact the only time I remember him getting out LBW in recent times was a Steyn reversing hellswinger first nut which frankly would have got anyone out

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bowled a decent line to Marsh so far, so I'm surprised he hasn't nicked off yet. When that happens he usually tons up.

So much so that we can guarantee you'll make this post next year as well.
