*Official* Australia in India 2010

[Contra]

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

It does at times actually. But yeah not really something you would want to depend on. Although Sehwag is just something else (with all due respect to Watson).

tbf, he admitted that he would've bowled anyway, so this one didnt make much difference

Another 50 for Watto! He loves this place, doesn't he

 

[BoyBrumby]

Can't ever predict anything with Johnson, tbh.

Disagree, tbh. He's consistently inconsistent. Can set your watch to it.

Yeah I'm not sure why everyone was crying for Ishant's head. Sree isn't that good lol.

Think it's more the direness of the former (one freakish over in the 2nd innings aside) rather than any qualities the latter has.

Loving the way Katich is using his feet to the spinners here. & a creamy cut there. Looks in very good nick here.

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

Nice one.

 

[Spark]

Katich's footwork does look very good. Very encouraging because I've been a bit nervous about him against offies for some time now.

 

[biased indian]

Australia to collapse post tea ..and get all out for less than 300

 

[Spark]

Haha wtf? That's a marginal one-day wide let alone test-match.

 

[TT Boy]

Zaheer Khan is about as unathletic as Abdul Razzaq in the field. Though Razzaq has the excuse of being nearly 40.

Any drop or bad umpiring decision so far ??

 

[BoyBrumby]

Three men on the on side fence on day one of a test. Hmm. Another captaincy masterclass from Dhoni.

Nope. Gould made a great call on a ball from Sree that pitched fractionally outside leg to Katich tho.

Might have been a drop just there, on the "wide" (which cricinfo disagrees with)

Ah, it's been corrected, good to see.

he will be proved if Watson gives one of them a catching practice though

Going from the commentary, seems Dhoni has put some deliveries down, although they may not have been actual chances.

Reminds me of playing cricket as a kid - guy hits a four so the captain puts someone on the fence

Shows how well the Indians have bowled and batted in the past few years to continue winning despite of his tactics

 

[BoyBrumby]

Was to Katich, actually. Plus easy singles on offer to long on and midwicket. Batsmen can just milk the spinners here.

Ojha getting a bit of grip here.

 

[Spark]

Certainly not a flat track this. A bit slow perhaps but enough to keep the bowlers interested.

Great session.
