Busy scrachin little tendulkar

Well Ponting looking good to make a big century today. Back in form - if he does do well here (and probably the next couple of Tests) - can definitely book his passage to the next Ashes which he seemed to want to get to.

"He's bowled better than his figures suggest"

Should be Sharma's middle name tbh.

Haha..I laughed when Slats said that..
Can't be called unlucky when you pitch All over the place.... No consistency in line or length.

TBH, I think he fully deserves his average of 35.

I'm sure most (including myself) agree. I was just commenting on how that saying seems to follow him everywhere.

18 months is a long time. Half the side that ended up over here in 2009 wouldn't have been in with much of a chance 6-9 months before the series.

keeping harby out of the indian side ha ha ..

 

[Furball]

Healy not seen much of Harbhajan recently then?

 

[wellAlbidarned]

A deep point for an attacking offie to a right hander is just shocking captaincy.

 

[Spark]

Deep square cover.

Dhoni is a dolt. Clarke has hit one run on the offside this morning. Instead, he's scored all his runs right there.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Yadav showing all the signs of being another Sharma here. No patience whatsoever.

 

[L Trumper]

its a bit like english summer all over

 

[NasserFan207]

Lets be honest though, this is a great pitch for batting. 191 first dig is abysmal, not much the pacers can do here except keep things tight.

edit: Which they are failing miserably at. I think Dhoni is just waiting for the ball to get old so he can pray to Zaheer.

 

[Jarquis]

Please don't let Ponting ton up

 

[Vroomfondel]

dhoni had said that not getting the tail out was the problem in the first test. they definitely seem to have solved that problem.

 

[Spark]

No slip to Michael Clarke.

Which they're doing exceptionally badly with a steady feed of leg stump trash. The field settings aren't exaclty helping them though.

 

[Spark]

What can the bowler do with this field, though? Two short midwickets, no slips.

 

[L Trumper]

Mark Taylor is getting angry and losing it .. Tells you how **** those field placements are

 

[Spark]

Mind you, these are pies.

 

[L Trumper]

horrible captaincy

good shot
