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

[Jacknife]

Must have been at least 20 meters away from the stumps then with that throw.

 

[GotSpin]

Haha Indian ground fielding.

 

[Burgey]

Don't care about who wins, just want a Siddle 50 then ton.

Seriously hope he gets a 50, batting so well in the last 12 months, might have helped him keep his place at times too.

He really has, hasn't he?

 

[Athlai]

He's a ****ing solid unit, isn't he?

India's ground fielding remains lolworthy.

Yeah him, Dougeh Bracewell and de Lange are all solid brick ****houses of fast bowlers. Wish the best for all of them.

 

[Furball]

How has Sharma bowled 20 overs for only 40 runs?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

He really has, hasn't he?

For a guy who was basically a bit of a bunny when he entered test cricket he has worked so hard at his batting and is getting his rewards with some nice knocks, not only is he scoring runs but he is looking like a decent player not just a lucky tailender having a bash like Murali and Harmison used to do.

 

[Neil Pickup]

How has Sharma bowled 20 overs for only 40 runs?

The same way Harmison tended to record spells of 8-4-6-0, I imagine.

 

[Furball]

He really has, hasn't he?

Siddle almost looks like someone who used to be good at batting but has forgotten how to play a few shots, if you know what I mean.

Lol, then he goes and does that.

 

[Contra]

Just goes to show how Key Zaheer is for India.

 

[AlwaysProteas]

Paine is out for about 6 months (I think) and Wade may need some more ODIs if he has any under his belt.

I guess that's one saving grace for Haddin that no one's banging the door in with great knocks in domestic circuit.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Jeez Siddle has a big heart.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

How has Sharma bowled 20 overs for only 40 runs?

Gone to the Harmison/Johnson school of bowling wide dross that players are leaving alone. Been the weak link of the Indian pace attack once more, flatters to deceive so often though the injury may not be helping him to be fair.

 

[Athlai]

I genuinely think that Zaheer was outbowled by Ishant yesterday for India. Can't really say Zaheer has done much wrong today though, has bowled a bit fuller and is constantly asking questions.

Reckon Ishant was a bit unlucky yesterday.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Fun stat: Peter Siddle has the 5th highest average of all time amongst players who played at least 20 innings without ever making it to 50.

Now in fourth.

 

[Burgey]

Our batsmen need to get out of the habit of looking around when they have not hit the ball.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah this whole Siddle doing well thing is fine but some of us have to sleep at some point, want Sehwag in already, going to be really interesting stuff when India bat

 

[BeeGee]

The ball is still doing a bit. Zaheer looking dangerous.

 

[Contra]

Ugh.. too many short balls.

 

[Furball]

Yeah, it's a bit annoying, Pattinson and Siddle are quite clearly doing the correct thing but watching two tailenders block/leave/play and miss isn't terribly thrilling cricket.
