Australia vs India cricket: Steve O?Keefe shuts up Shane Warne

When the Murdoch press is telling Warne to shut up you know he's Trumped himself.

 

[adub]

A team of 3 Gavaskars would chase it down. Guaranteed win.

Sunny Rohan and The Other One?

Yeah, nah...

Australia vs India cricket: Steve O?Keefe shuts up Shane Warne

Glorious!

 

[Debris]

Just saw the score and wtf. Totally unexpected. Warnes head must have exploded.

His new hair probably contains anti-explosion measures. Only explanation as to why he is still alive.

Did Sok just replicate the approach the Indian spinners had with great success or was the pitch a minefield?

The pitch is a disgrace.

In all honesty, SOK delivered 3 or 4 great overs after being completely innocuous for his first 8.

 

[adub]

SOK's Wickets:

3 Suicides
1 screamer of a catch that most of the time wouldn't have been held (good, but hardly unplayable ball)
1 stumping from a nice bit of dip and just enough turn
1 catch at 1st slip from a good seed that bounced a bit more than expected.

But surely that's the point. ****'s been doing it for years. Looks completely innocuous, takes heaps of wickets.

Do we have to keep going with this? Pitch isn't great, but it's hardly a "disgrace".

As long as every pitch in the series isn't like this it's not really an issue IMO

It's only an issue if Australia loses.

 

[dermo]

have it on good authority SoK's turn around was due to a message from the coach telling him to bowl as if the batsman was shane warne refusing him entry to the steyne

Renshaw shows how you can bat on here old school. I have liked this test so couldn't care about the wicket, and I am rooting for India!

Maybe because of the belly, and the lead Aus had but he was a bit more loose yesterday. Batted very well in the first innings playing straight without having to revert to the sweep, or the slog sweep.

 

[honestbharani]

You just need immense discipline and mental strength to do well on this track... So far, only the Aussie batsmen have shown that and our fielding has made it worse.

Michael Vaughan's replies to Warne's insincere tweet congratulating SOK

I just wished the Aussies would have taken your advice and not played Okeefe ... !!!!!!!

Please Please @CricketAus make @ShaneWarne a Selector.... It could be our only way of retaining the Ashes this winter ... #Cheers

Warne is now uniting the whole cricket world against him

 

[Daemon]

Tbh vaughan joining in sours things a bit

 

[TheJediBrah]

Everyone with half a brain knows SOK has been easily the best spinner in the country for the last decade.

Unfortunately Shane Warne doesn't fit that criteria

 

[Shri]

This will be hard to watch and hard to cop but I will do it.

It just had to be the ****in' Aussies. Why couldn't it have been against one of the good guys like SL or NZ? **** me.

 

[OverratedSanity]

SA would've been fine too. Atleast it wasn't England again though.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Vaughan kind of ruining it

 

[anil1405]

Vaughan is giving Warnie an opportunity to bail out.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

The pitch does not look like that its breaking up fast as expected. Rough patches yes but I feel game is not over yet and India will come harder this morning.
