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

[Swingpanzee]

Geez that's just poor from Yadav.

 

[wiff]

lets see if India can score at 6 an over for 90 overs then 541 should be enough

 

[Blocky]

Bhuvi Kumar... bowling 110-115kph.

 

[Spark]

smith should think of himself as genuine fifth bowler tomorrow

 

[Spark]

Smith's batting style is not dissimilar to Mark Waugh's imho.

Reckon ABdV is a really good comparison with that early movement across the stumps.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Damn, it's really turning now. Not feeling good about any chase we're given. Will definitely see a more sporting declaration here than in the last match.

 

[Swingpanzee]

I really don't know why teams don't do that more often.. get 650-700 and don't bad again.. why declare at anything less if you can downhill skill for a free 100 runs?

It's cos they don't have to balls to withstand the Channel 9 early declaration rants.

The topic's been covered here in grisly detail

oh god

 

[Blocky]

Declaration bowling maybe? Inexperienced captain might have a target in mind rather than a run rate?

 

[Antihippy]

Kettleborough having a pretty good game.

 

[dfrinku]

Is Kettlebrough a robot? God damn is he good.

 

[Niall]

Kettleborough having a pretty good game.

Rahane would disagree.

 

[viriya]

Is this kind of turn on the 4th/5th day at the SCG typical? It's fast spin too unlike some dustbowls in the subcontinent.

 

[wiff]

Its gonna rain soon

Footmarks make any pitch turn - against the lefty there are some massive troughs to aim at right on a length.

Rogers is dead against a good arm ball here.

Mt Colah being the highest point in Sydney is covered in dark clouds

 

[Antihippy]

Rahane would disagree.

Not even kettleborough can resist giving rahane a stiff one.

It's genetic.

Yes but it's fizzing off the pitch atm.

Only really for Ashwin, who is a pretty damn good spinner.

Yeah we need to see him do well against South Africa or someone.
