Cowan old school opener .. brilliant ! suck it healy

 

[Spark]

People are too harsh on Dhoni, when you have such a scattergun attack usually the only tactic you can employ is damage limitation

He's had two catching men deep on the legside for good periods of the session though - which would indicate the bouncers are something of a plan

 

[Quaggas]

First close up of that **** Ghambir for the series.

One iron with ears.

"Even God cannot hit a one iron." Should let Ghambir bowl a bit, then.

 

[Ruckus]

Never heard it from me though. I've rubbished all his other recent knocks. Isn't falling over himself all that much or mistiming anything today.

And the bowling is rubbish.

One of those half centuries was pretty flawless against SA (I think), but he still managed to get out. He really should get a century here though given the bowling and the wicket.

 

[Spikey]

He was looking good at Brisbane too.....I wouldn't get ahead of myself.

Even at Brisbane there was a couple of periods where he got tied down and then played a dud shot that could have easily dismissed him they hasn't been anything like that here because they're dropping short too often.

REFER ITTTT!!!!

Oh.

 

[Cevno]

Ooh!!

Watch out for the one that holds its line now.

 

[NasserFan207]

Looked close that

 

[Athlai]

Wasn't quite sure why they were so disappointed there. Good ball but was well outside.

Or he knows that his quicks just can't help themselves

Cowan has looked all at sea against Ashwin.

 

[thruthecovers]

helmets

Is it my TV or are the aussies wearing blue helmets now?

 

[hazsa19]

Cowan has looked all at sea against Ashwin.

Looks all at sea against straight bowling. Not good enough for a Test Match opener, was the same with Hughes.

 

[Cevno]

Ponting certainly doesn't like facing Sharma. Can see it on his face every time early on.

Bowls a angle and length that troubles him.

Lol.

 

[NasserFan207]

Cowan is definitely more of a test match opener than Hughes

 

[Top_Cat]

Got to be a NSW selection bias joke in there.

 

[TumTum]

Interesting to why Sharma troubles Ponting so much, because he's been gun against Morkel and Flintoff who bowl in the same style.

lol @ you thinking Hughes' problem was with the straight ball.
