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

[morgieb]

Need a partnership here. We've gone into our shells massively since Smith was dismissed.

Kohli is way too ****y for getting a ton.. he did well but his team collapsed after being 409/3.. If he and Rahane had ground it out India would have 750 instead they are chasing for something still.

oh man the idea of ishant all of a sudden bowling india to victory

Wtf are you talking about. He's sledging to try and get his team a win ffs. He's trying to get in their head. That's the point of sledging

you don't just get 750, even from 400/3.

So, yeah, this is probably the most competitive match of the series I think. Still think the tail will wag again and get plenty more and we'll lose, but it's probably the only match which has actually ebbed and flowed properly.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people don't appreciate this basic point.

Shaun Marsh really irritates me when he bats like this.

That's what happens to your thought process when you watch your team play half it's matches at the SSC, tbh

Commentators spraying Marsh strike rate. Australia are 2-0 ffs. Incredible.

If he can block out the next four hours then all the power to him. Doubt it, though.

Surely worse if he's creaming drives then nicks off?

India won't bowl this well for 4 hours. See it off.

Yeah but he's just batting in a complete bubble. No attempt to rotate the strike.

 

[Jono]

Mark Nicholas theory as to why India bowl okay in 2nd innings is completely stupid.

 

[Tangles]

Tail does alright. Helps the team long term since I don't rate him.

 

[Teja.]

Mark Nicholas is completely stupid.

ftfy.

 

[Contra]

Yadav better not leak runs after all the hard work this session.

 

[Spikey]

jesus marsh

 

[Spark]

There you go. That's the sort of dead**** shot that this sort of batting results in.
