***Official Australia in India***

[Uppercut]

And Tendulkar is another bowler's first test wicket! Still India's day mind, unless they lose another.

Sharma? Bad idea right now to get a nightwatchman.

CBF reading through this thread and have only just started watching now but how have the aussie bowlers gone? Decent? considering it looks like a road.

Geez Louise, what a freakin' catch.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Oh well, that was good while it lasted.

 

[Uppercut]

Up against the new ball, his survival chances must be very slim tonight. Waste of a wicket IMO, although if luck's on their side it may work out okay.

 

[Precambrian]

Splendid innings.

Quite surprised at that.

Apart from a shocking period where India gifted them 3 wickets from horrific shots, they've worked hard for no real reward. Understandable though, this pitch has nothing in it for them.

 

[silentstriker]

Why is he taking a single? Idiot.

Who else? Dhoni is a walking wicket, and we need to preserve Messrs. Harbhajan and Zaheer for tomorrow.

A bit loose in the first session, but have worked hard this then, and should have had Gaggles, but for a certain SA

Given Sharma seemed to struggle with Watson in the last match, heading the ball for four, Lee could be interesting.

Sourav's game to fall apart without Sachin out there with him.

And Sachin's record away against Victorian bowlers take's a hammering. Until he gets a hundred in Victoria, he can't be considered a great I'm afraid.

 

[Precambrian]

Sharma sent in to protect Dhoni? What for?

There is a train of thought that the NW should take as much of the strike so as to protect the other batsman, that is the way the Poms always do it

Already has an MCG 100 doesn't he?

Yes but we have (had) the Hoggster who could block forever!

Dhoni should be sent in to protect Sharma.

Cheers for that fellas, so would you say Australia have done well considering the pitch?
