1st Test, Aus vs India, Adelaide oval 17th-21st December

[Gob]

Inzamam had an alright career for a man who could barely get up on one knee let alone run.

Arjuna reverted to walking instead of running

 

[Starfighter]

Run outs are the most preventable form of dismissal

Timed out mate.

 

[Gnske]

Finally some brains. I can't wait to see the genius of Ravichandran "I could bat at 3 for India if I wanted" Ashwin diffuse this awful situation.

 

[Teja.]

Ashwin can bat and also has three triple centuries.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Borderline outside off and high I thought, but he’s walking

You watching the same game as me? Not sure you could be more plumb than that.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah I get what you’re saying OS but I think the upside for him and India has more than made up for that run out there.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ashwin is dreadful with the bat these days. 250 would be great from here.

 

[Burgey]

You watching the same game as me? Not sure you could be more plumb than that.

Haha yeah I looked at the replay and wondered wtf I had been thinking tbh

 

[Nintendo]

Borderline outside off and high I thought, but he’s walking

Think the only thing that's high is you mate, was dead cold.

 

[Burgey]

It’s like they just bowled an awesome holding pattern all day waiting for this time of night

 

[Spark]

Its not just about the call. Does Kohli run out of his crease that quickly leaving him in no man's land if he didnt have the LoI quick single mentality? No way imo

well, yeah, because rahane called him through for the run. it's not like he just teared off of his own accord, it was rahane's call, rahane called him through and kohli acceded.

like if if had gone to square cover or something then i would get the argument that kohli took off prematurely. but it went to mid-off. the situation was entirely in rahane's control.

 

[Burner]

India were looking at 350 with Kohli on. One brainfade later it looks like they will settle for 260 - 280.

 

[Gnske]

Wow that would have been such a no.3 shot if he had connected with it.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Wanna see Cam get a little spell with the new pill right now.

 

[thierry henry]

I think Kohli may actually have not tried to get back because he expected Rahane to sacrifice himself. At least a 3rd umpire job if he tried.

 

[morgieb]

How often is it that an entire batting lineup bat right-handed?

 

[Burner]

Would have been nice to have some Pant here.

 

[Gnske]

Ashwin clearly has been reading the Rob Quiney book on batting at 3 lately.

So excited I can't even think of a **** joke.

 

[Burgey]

Ashwin taking them on like the Galaxy brain he is

 

[Pratters]

Rahane can **** off.
