***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

[Spark]

Lyon hogging the strike with aplomb here.

 

[silentstriker]

Tough chance but ffs, that's like the third drop by Kohli...

 

[adub]

Pretty good shot from a no. 11

tbf Jimmy Higgs denied him a ton in that innings.

 

[Viscount Tom]

That McArdle bloke writes like a total **** spoon.

 

[Tangles]

Can Lyon keep? Looking better than Wade at 5.

 

[NUFAN]

Starc surely has to come out to bat ahead of Siddle this innings, especially now that Lyon has been in and gone.

 

[Jnr.]

Reckon Clarke's going to make a ton here.

 

[social]

Lovely delivery from Ojha

Is it my imagination or is his action looking decidedly jerky this morning?

Clarke's back looks screwed

 

[social]

Only missed that by about a foot

Australian coaching staff needs to have a long hard look at themselves in relation to our spinners as it was only yesterday that Lyon started bowling the right pace and Doherty never has

 

[silentstriker]

Considering Australia can slow things down if need be, you'd think India have to bowl them out around tea to have a chance of chasing?

Which is sixty+ overs away. Hardly unimaginable.

 

[SJS]

Ewwww...that sounds more disgusting than anything I've ever eaten...

Absolutely. Who ever thinks chocolate lassi is a great idea should consider having a "lasagna stuffed parantha" along with it

Let's not gloss over Lyon's 18 runs so quickly??

By far that's the most significant thing he's done in the series.

Hopefully he forgets to do his homework after the test.

It was clearly a fluke from Lyon that he got the pace right. He's a poor bowler.

If we send dud spinners over, and then pick 2 of them to play in a test match, should we be surprised when they make no impact?

 

[Spark]

Yeah, clearly a fluke that he bowled the vast majority of his deliveries yesterday at the right place. Should've picked Dave Hussey as a specialist spinner, obviously

Cameron White!

 

[Spark]

What the **** was that appeal

 

[silentstriker]

What the **** was that appeal

Hey it hit his back leg...gotta be out regardless of where that back leg is.

 

[Burgey]

AB should be into Shastri here. **** saying Australia's population is the size of one Indian city, AB should mention that 80% of the poor bastards in one of those cities are living in poverty.

 

[Contra]

Australia are getting runs without the big shots which is somewhat annoying.

they should also try the odd faster one to rush Hughes cuz he's staying back and letting the ball come to him and defending, and its working.
