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

[Neil Pickup]

Radar suggests we're about to get another burst of rain.

Possibly an improvement on watching dot balls and singles whilst listening to Warne talk about pizza.

 

[Neil Pickup]

What's the story with the lights - are they allowed if need be?

Standard Playing Conditions

3.7 Use of artificial lights
If in the opinion of the umpires, natural light is deteriorating to an unfit level, they shall authorize the ground authorities to use the available artificial lighting so that the match can continue in acceptable conditions.
The lights are only to be used to enable a full day’s play to be completed as provided in clause 16 below.
In the event of power failure or lights malfunction, the provisions relating to the delay or interruption of play due to bad weather or light shall apply.

 

[Johnners]

Just stfu you clowns, this is painful. Send a runner out to Marsh to do something interesting before everyone necks themselves listening to this drivel.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

This is probably the worst commentary I've ever heard.

 

[dognutz]

Warne is just an attention seeking missile and he says so little with so many words. I used to idolise him and now I can't stand him

 

[Neil Pickup]

Can't help but feel that the commentary is a reflection on the play. Would also like to work out what on earth Dhoni's plan to win this must-win match is.

Ham & Pineapple, ftr.

 

[Jono]

Channel 9 talking about pizza and labelling suresh raina as "KAREN SHARMA".

****ing hopeless

 

[Swingpanzee]

This is probably the worst commentary I've ever heard.

By far.

Raining again.

So I guess get about 380 lead minimum and declare. Either ways it's very likely it's gonna be a draw. If India need to win, force them to do something drastic. We're 2-0 up, no need to do anything special.

 

[DingDong]

what the hell is smith doing? this sort of cricket is going to kill the sport. grow a backbone and either score quickly or declare. it's already a record score, have some faith in ur bowlers ffs.

 

[Antihippy]

I don't think that I've ever been so thankful of rain for breaking up that drivel.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Is it a must-win? I get the feeling that India will be all to happy to settle for a draw. They might even gloat over it.

 

[GIMH]

What rum did you go for?

Just listen to the podcast!

Lambs navy rum tonight

Got Morgan spiced gold, Bacardi oakheart, tanduay and appletons in the house as well

Will get on that pod cast tomorrow I think. Should get the last disc of true detective tomorrow too

 

[Spikey]

it's weird that family isnt around into the dressing rooms, so lyon and warner have to lean over to see their kids

 

[Antihippy]

That'll be pretty sad honestly.

 

[morgieb]

Sort your **** out Melbourne.

 

[GIMH]

Just switched back over and it seems it's raining again. Englandesque batting from the Aussies?

My interpretation was that 2-0 down with two to play rather put the onus on the trailing side to force the pace.

If that's Dhoni's plan then it's worse than any pizza/commentary/pizza commentary.

 

[GIMH]

Rob Key channeling his inner Warne

 

[dognutz]

Despite the cringeworthy comm it was funny to watch Taylor get stumped advancing to the spinner and then leaving it. Made Maxwell not look so bad. Now if only the commentators heads could explode the same way.........

 

[Antihippy]

Sort your **** out Melbourne.

It's Melbourne. Do you expect the weather to make sense here?
