[TT Boy]

haha. shocking. dhoni looks overweight as well.

 

[Jayzamann]

Switch on, Zaheer being poo in the field. See highlight of Kohli being swell.

aiiii

 

[Top_Cat]

Despite both playing for Tassie, Cowan and Ponting mustn't have batted together very often.

Once, I reckon.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Lol @ the placard "we miss you steve bucknor"

 

[SilentOne]

loved that sign the Indian in the crowd was holding up.

"We miss Steve bucknor"

 

[Cevno]

 

[Ruckus]

Lol Ponting already ahead of Cowan

 

[TumTum]

How the hell has Ponting more runs than Cowan already?

 

[Uppercut]

Ponting doesn't look in good shape at all, his habit of falling over to the off side is becoming more and more literal.

 

[Teja.]

Ponting's gonna be out bowled/lbw IMO.

 

[Contra]

Umesh does get on quick eh..

 

[Jayzamann]

Kohli again, on fya!

 

[Burgey]

Ponting's gonna be out bowled/lbw IMO.

This would surprise you?

 

[Burgey]

Umesh does get on quick eh..

Skiddy kind of bouncer it seems.

Ponting doesn't look in good shape at all, his habit of falling over to the off side is becoming more and more literal.

Think he's playing them better. The balance not quite being right but hitting them to wide-mid for 1 or 2 suggests he's playing them with better technique than when he misses completely and is nailed on the crease. Seems to be letting the ball come to him more than he has.

No way is it perfect but it's an improvement.

 

[Noble One]

Umesh has a very whippy action. Fast movement of the arms makes the bouncer hard to read.

 

[Turbinator]

Alright, need a couple more wickets now.

 

[Top_Cat]

Love the way Cowan's playing and I know this because I used to ****ing hate bowling to blokes like him. Limited scoring zones by leaving everything but it really does limit the ways you can get him out too.

And as soon as you err a bit full, easy runs through cover as Sharma just found out. So frustrating to watch but so good. haha If Cowan's there at lunch, that's a win.

 

[grecian]

Bizarre stat as mentioned on cricinfo, Cowan the best opening oz debutant for 17 odd years.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Heh, Marsh out trying to smash it through that gap at cover that Healy was going on and on and on about Cowan ignoring. That's why.

Yeah, the gap's there because India want Aus to try to hit across the line, not because it's easy runs. Hope Cowan goes on to make some decent runs, I like watching a bloke bat who can leave well.
