*Official* Australia in India 2010

Ravinder North

 

[Contra]

I think it's time for the infamous 8-1 field

 

[Spark]

Just started watching. First reaction is that this certainly sounds closer to what an Indian crowd should sound like on Day 1 of a test match.

 

[Jayzamann]

FWIW? These cricinfo journos really know who their audience consists of.

 

[Spark]

Crunchy shot from Watto. Wasn't that short at all (or at least didn't get very high at all)

 

[Contra]

Get it right Arun lal lol

 

[Jayzamann]

Over rates much better today.

 

[Spark]

0/60 at drinks is a very good effort. This opening partnership easily the best thing about our batting order.

Katich goes past Langer on the Aussie vs India Runs list ....

...I only mention it to show that Ponting should become the # 1 Aussie run scorer vs India durig this innings

How does one fail to pronounce "GOULD" properly?!

 

[AaronK]

Aus is going really good at moment. but I would love to see them lose this match.. I can imagin the look in Ian Chapple's face after 2-0.. i will support anyone just to see that look.. hahah

I really love watching Watson play, such pure batting, lovely stride out to the ball and just hammers anything short.

North the tail ender still gets a game

 

[Contra]

Good stuff. Let him take the big risks only to get singles. That's usually how opposition teams play against Sehwag.

Haha, a Pakistani calling North a tail-ender. Gotta be bad.

Doesn't that imply that it doesn't really work, though?

If you show up at enough parties you're going to get laid eventually.

Good thing we won the toss. Bhajji is looking rather dangerous.

 

[Jayzamann]

18 overs old, this ball should look like a shaggy dog by now, I assume?

 

[social]

Good thing we won the toss. Bhajji is looking rather dangerous.

Always likely to get a bit of turn with dampness under the surface as ball tends to grip a bit more

Will be interesting to see whether it continues once (if) it dries out a bit
