*Official* Australia in India 2010

What?

No, seriously... what?

Ponting is become quite the master at throwing away a certain hundred.

 

[Manee]

Good God almighty, Dhoni is a genius.

Raina now averages 21 with the ball in Tests and 77 with the bat, WAG.

 

[Spark]

Lot of similarities to Sachin's 98 dismissal in that one.

Garry who?

This is getting ridiculous now. Very, very, very disappointing from Ponting.

 

[kingkallis]

Awesome work Raina!

Punter fails to convert the 50 to 100 again

 

[Burgey]

Poor decision tbf.. Umpire gives me out to a ball clipping the outside of leg stump at best, I'm kinda pissed off.

And there you have the difference between this Aussie team and the great ones - they simply arent ruthless

Yeh but it was played badly, he is asking for it. No excuses.

 

[Ikki]

The fact that Bowden got a view of the stumps probably swung it. But a very tight call in retrospect. Could have not given it. Right call nonetheless. And Ricky throws away another century for the taking

 

[Manee]

Garry who?

Garry Pratt!

 

[Spark]

Looked out live. Hawkeye says it was marginal, but it looked dead live and that's all that counts tbh.

Agreed

Played across the line of a straight break and for what?

The chance to score a friggin' single

A player of Ponting's experience should know that all he has to do against a part-timer is block the straight ones and a 4 ball will inevitably follow shortly thereafter

Really piss-poor

 

[NUFAN]

A good point from Cricinfo - Raina has been the real nemesis for Ponting....so far Raina has appeared in every Ponting dismissal in two Tests" Indeed.. Run out, caught at square leg and now lbw. Round the wicket now.


My 264/6 prediction is looking quite accurate.

 

[bagapath]

ricky.... ricky..... ricky..... how many times are you going to disappoint your fans? why cant you learn to play on indian pitches properly? yeah... yeah... 77 is good... but do you want to be good or do you want to be great? you will never ever take your average in india above 30. is that ok with you? sigh....

 

[Ruckus]

I think Ponting is become impatient. And impatience in test cricket is a death sentence (unless you Sehwag of course).

 

[Ikki]

This is actually his best series yet. Is averaging 50+. He's getting better at it but he really could have had 2 tonnes in these 2 matches alone.
