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

[Blocky]

No Bevan either.. some bull**** about Border "could've done the job". No Watson.. Mitch Johnson in.. And Greg Chappell instead of Lehmann I think.

Interesting, I know he loves Boof, I know he hates SWaugh, surprised about Johnson and Bevan though.

 

[Spark]

i hope these two last a while. the running will be enough comedy for weeks.

 

[dermo]

hopefully we see a situation similar to the oval in 2013 where rogers is down to bat at like 9 and watson opens with warner and faulkner comes in at 3. and brad haddin bops mohammad shami for six off the last ball

.

 

[Spikey]

There's a big arse storm building to the west of Sydney. Really hoping it doesn't curtail the first ever game at Spotless Stadium

fixed

drats

 

[Blocky]

LOL Watson...

Please get Smith for less than 8.

 

[viriya]

Ashwin can't bowl outside India they said.

He's not a genuine all-rounder they said.

He looks like a moron with those sunglasses I said.

 

[SteveNZ]

When the going gets tough, Watto gets going for 10-20 odd.

Just get rid of him already.

 

[WindieWeathers]

Bloody hell!!..why are the aussies making Ashwin look like he can bowl overseas? the icc should take a close look if he somehow gets a 5fer .

 

[Swingpanzee]

Tbh we should just dial it down a bit. Another 50-60 runs or so and we'll be in a reaosnably good position then go all out. Just too chaotic atm.


Good signs for Lyon though.

 

[Burgey]

I remember beng told by an under 11s coach to be careful cutting offies on up and down decks. Watto didn't get the memo, obviously.

 

[viriya]

I really don't know why India don't just play 2 spinners wherever they play.. it can't really be worse that what happens now.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Watson made 80 when it mattered most... shepherded inexperienced captain Smith on a first day belter against Shami and co. Deserves to be retained.

Looking at the pacers...i think they should play 4 tbh.

 

[Blocky]

Ugh, Smith now record holder of most runs in a four test series for an Australian batsman.

That needs to have a huge asterisk next to it.

don't forget the sheer hardship of coming in at 1/200

uh, why?

 

[WindieWeathers]

So how much do the Aussies need here? 250 enough?

 

[OverratedSanity]

uh, why?

Oh dear please no. Not the tour thread too.

 

[hendrix]

Oh dear please no. Not the tour thread too.

am I missing something?
