Husey going nice here 22(20)

 

[Burgey]

I wonder whether, with gilchrist retiring, he should open in ODIs for Australia, or will they go for someone like a Watson to do it?

 

[duffer]

Hussey is such a good finisher, I wouldn't move him.

Man, missed most of the day's play. Was sitting on the edge of the seat waiting for text messages in class. Gun innings from Sachin and nice effort from Australia to restrict India to less than a 280/290+ score that was looking likley for most of the first innings. Things not looking good here though, will take a massive effort from Hussey and co to get over the line and I'm not sure he has it in him tbh. Pity, I really wanted this to go to a third match (obv)

Lets be optimistic Gelman, you never know Mr.cricket might have something special up his sleeve, but you are right this ain't going to be easy.

 

[Burgey]

Hussey makes a reverse sweep look as simple as a forward defence. Insanely good batting there.

But thanks to Hopes we are not gathering any momentum, the guy seriously needs to work on his batting against spin bowling.

Hussey looks so good today, i just hope he can take us over the line, anyways that reverse sweep would have made even Andy Flower proud.

hopes was paying 101/1 to be top scorer in the aus innings this morning. It probably won't happen, but i wouldn't mind sitting on $10 on it right now.

 

[biased indian]

ok its about time we had a wicket and if its hussey great.....

 

[duffer]

My god I'm nervous.

My god I'm nervous.

Haha what do you have to be nervous about?

 

[pup11]

The RRR is geting close to 8 rpo and with not much firepower left in the batting this target looks more and more difficult to achieve.

 

[pup11]

Haha what do you have to be nervous about?

Well he is just trying his level best to put a mocker on the Aussies.

 

[Burgey]

Memo James Hopes - it's called a single mate, where you give the better player the strike before the last ball of the over.

 

[duffer]

Haha what do you have to be nervous about?

I'm fearing one of our bowlers will lose the plot.

 

[duffer]

Aaaarrgghhh. Hopes actually looks like a batsman against the seamers.

 

[pup11]

Hopes batting with a strike-rate of 50, FFS push it James, these singles are just not going to do it for us.

 

[pasag]

What's with the recent surge streakers? Been pretty good over the past few years and you'd think the huge fines would deter people and the ones footing the bill as well, but that's now what, three in two games?

Edit: Meh, shouldn't attempt to understand drunk bogans I guess.

 

[pasag]

Oh crap. All over.
