**Official** Australia in India Thread

[Mister Wright]

Where did you hear Watson was sent home? He was on the field yesterday when Lehmann tore his hamstring.

They said on the radio.

Something tells me that was Lee.

 

[Arjun]

What are Sanjay Manjrekar and Barry Richards talking about? That conversation was cut short to sneak in DD's in-house analysis, which is rubbish.

 

[Linda]

Can I just say, Im completely STOKED! Ive got two days of school left ever, and Marto's scored yet another hundred this year. Do I need to remind everyone that he's become the highest run-getter in Australia this calendar year?

Carry on.

At the end of this series, the chances of Truthteller or Pondfish coming back with another name are certain, with some very predictable posts.

 

[Arjun]

With Agarkar bowling rubbish and Nehra not really looking the part, is this the time for Venkatesh Prasad to return? He can't do worse, can he?

india lost the series because they dont eat anough beef?

L Sivaram (or whatever) is a complete idiot. For Gillespie he saw some big inside edge when there was none. Then he changed it to faint inside edge. Then, maybe none. Of Course the cereberal Slats then jumped in and claimed you can hear 2 noises but can't see the edge. This is such a joke. I can't believe I am paying for this moron L Siva to do commentary.

He is the absolute worst on this entire lot - and even worse, he's got the most annoying voice of them all.

I don't understand - why not just drop him? What's the need to have an idiotic nobody with an annoying voice when the rest of your commentary team consists of top-notch ex-players.

And not enough McDonalds McBurgers...

What a sick statement that was! Glad he's gone.....but he may be back!

Or Srinath? Solkar? Kapil? Abid Ali?

Let's wait till the series is over and then you can make your judgement.

To all intents and purposes it already is.

 

[marc71178]

oh and it is only your opinion that India would have won the second test without the rain

Exactly - the result of a rain-free Day 5 in that game will never be known, or even accurately guessed.

 

[marc71178]

As many as five changes, including the captain, strike bowler and wicketkeeper, have to be made.

Funny how you want to replace the captain.

I assume that would be with Dravid?

 

[Arjun]

Or Srinath? Solkar? Kapil? Abid Ali?

They have all retired, although they can be brought back- pity Brijesh Patel is not a selector anymore. At least Prasad has not yet called it quits.

Don't diss the Duck!!!

 

[mavric41]

It won't happen. Watson has been sent home to Australia. Hodge was called back after Lehmann was was injured as he was also sent home.

Really? His mum told me last week that he was staying for the rest of the tour. It must of been a very recent decision to get him some match practice.

 

[JASON]

I would not count India's chances off yet in this Test.

After all their bad luck, something good is bound to happen.

Provided Kaif with Patel, AA, Kumble can manage to avoid the follow on, then the second innings could well be another game altogether. (that would only leave a deficit of around 150 odd or less on the first innings.)

 

[SJS]

They have all retired, although they can be brought back- pity .

Neil is this you >>>>>

Why dont you give up man ?

 

[Neil Pickup]

It's amusing in moderation

 

[V Reddy]

Oh No ! Manjrekar is on with Tendulkar batting. He is starting to babble uncontrollably and insensibly....worse: Tendulkar out lbw - marginal decision according to Dean Jones. I don't think Nagpur deserves a Test Match. So much movement behind the sightscreen and so often plus an idiot groundsman

I think this has been a great pitch so far . The pitch offers bounce and seam movement to the seamers, very helpful to the spinners as the pitch has spin and bounce and most importantly is nota slow turner unlike previous Nagpur pitches and also the batsman can play strokes as the bounce is even. India needs more pitches like this if we are ever going to improve our pathetic record outside India
