***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

[Cevno]

What are thoughts on Zaheer around the wicket to Ponting? Would favour over myself, but it seems a plan.

Yeah, angle it across and bring the odd one back in to get him LBW.

 

[Jacknife]

No Zaheer hasn't found any consistency in line or length, he'll bowl a decent nut and then not following it up, he's not keeping the pressure on atm.

 

[NasserFan207]

Against most right handers I'd say over but to Ponting the lbw is such a big issue he has to go round

 

[Uppercut]

Ashwin starting off a bit too full.

 

[Ruckus]

The difference from my perspective is that Cowan looks comfortable not playing shots whereas Khawaja, get the feeling he's waiting for one to have a dash at, whether it's there or not.

Yeah I'd agree with that.

 

[Burgey]

Oh and Zaheer should not have been picked. Ashwin into the attack.

I think he has reached the point that if he's declared fit, he plays. Which is probably fair enough too.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Don't think pace matters really, if he moves it around at his best.

Ashwin on.

Not doubting that but Ponting's got his eye in and isn't really been hurried much by him, would've put yadav on he's seeming it a fair bit with pace.

 

[Burgey]

Ed needs to get a better head shot.

Seriously.

 

[Redbacks]

Where's Andy Caddick to bore Ed out?

 

[Burgey]

That'll do for lunch with a spot of rain on the way.

 

[NUFAN]

As George Bailey said, Ed Cowan is the best leaver in Australian First Class Cricket. An opener batting cautiously and keeping his wicket until lunch is awesome for the team particularly with an aggressor in Warner has his opening partner. it's not quite Slater and Taylor, but it's close.

I wish Marsh had of batted more sensibly.

 

[grecian]

Does anyone know what Ed Cowan's favourite dish is? I'm not sure it's been mentioned by the comms and obviously it's pretty damn important.....

 

[Cruxdude]

Zaheer looked the least impressive of the bowlers till now. Umesh, Ishant and Ash have been promising.

 

[Top_Cat]

Ed Cowan at this moment.

 

[Jacknife]

A decent morning of test cricket, Cowans done well on his debut, needs to kick on this afternoon and play a few more shots mind but he's done his job so far and seen the new ball off.

 

[Uppercut]

Fairly even session. India haven't bowled well but they've just about caused a couple of wickets worth of trouble. Zaheer looking the least dangerous of the pacers is a big concern.

 

[Burgey]

So glad Simon O'Donnell doesn't do the cricket show any more.

Monstrous lightweight.

 

[social]

Is Marsh really the best option at 3?

Obviously talented but the mail has always been that he is inconsistent and a "nicker" - not really the traits we need

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Wow Cowen is slower than Misboobs.

 

[social]

Reckon that this could be a very good wicket to bowl on tomorrow as it should still have sideways movement but at a quicker pace
