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

[dfrinku]

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

Perfect weather in Hornsby.

 

[Antihippy]

Watching rogers run this innings has been comedy gold.

 

[wiff]

Not even kettleborough can resist giving rahane a stiff one.

It's genetic.

Wasn't a howler

 

[wiff]

Perfect weather in Hornsby.

Hornsby has its own weather

Watching Ashwin bowl makes me nostalgic of the Murali days.. he would be salivating at this pitch.

Warne out of those footmarks to the RHers would be murder.

 

[Spark]

well i thought that was out

It's Australia. He would've either been hit out of the attack or no-balled by now.

 

[Blocky]

Warne out of those footmarks to the RHers would be murder.

Yup - that's the issue for Lyon - one left hander in the top 6 for India and he's the 6th batsman. He's not going to be as troubling as Ashwin has been to Rogers.

 

[ajdude]

oh no i'd forgotten all about mark taylor saying "suuduukuuuuuu"

 

[Zinzan]

Lol India, you can't expect to get LBWs like that without DRS...Far too much doubt whether that hit pad or bat first.

Edit: Too high anyway

 

[Spark]

oh no i'd forgotten all about mark taylor saying "suuduukuuuuuu"

he always seems to have to really prepare himself before saying it

 

[honestbharani]

Geez. First ball I've seen today and that happens. I actually think it probably was out, tbh, but surely you can't give it based on that evidence.

The impact point of the ball on the pitch was AFTER the impact point, if any, of the ball on bat.. How that is out will only be known to Fry.. Oz perhaps getting more help from their 3rd umpire than their fielders

 

[Blocky]

Rogers is dead against a good arm ball here.

So near with the carrom.

 

[ajdude]

can someone please find that video of rogers yelping after getting hit by a bouncer? **** that's funny

 

[morgieb]

Cloudy in Petersham ATM. Given that it's about 10 minutes from the ground, this could be worrying.

 

[Spark]

hasn't quite got that shot right this series, smitteh

 

[viriya]

It's Australia. He would've either been hit out of the attack or no-balled by now.

He never got to bowl in Sydney on a 4th/5th day pitch like this in Australia.. the one time he did in the ICC World XI vs Australia farce, this happened:
Murali's magic | Cricket News | ICC Super Series | ESPN Cricinfo

 

[Spark]

that ball from warne was deadset ridiculous.

 

[Antihippy]

Christ I forgot just how long chanderpaul has been playing.
