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

[Cabinet96]

Reckon this will be like South Africa v India at Centurion in 2010. India do well in their second innings, Tendulkar gets a 100, but they don't do enough to save the test.

 

[Spark]

Not a great start though.

 

[Cabinet96]

I KNEW someone would say that. Such horse ****. Sorry, but it is.

In all isolation, without milestones, that was the right time to declare. And that's why he did it. End of.

Haha, wow..as of above 'if they get 600 and we get rolled for 130 we'll look stupid'. Yes, probably. Quite right.

Just a thought tbh.

 

[Ruckus]

Very poor bowling so far

 

[Briony]

Sehwag has scored 290 runs in a day, add runs from his buddies plus 1.5 sessions worth of runs and you could be looking at 650-700 somewhere in Day 5. Then we are forced to chase 100 odd runs and we know what happened last time we tried chasing that much. Don't see the need to give India even the hope of a miracle. 2 days is more than enough, if you can't do that then you don't deserve to win.

If India did that after the sh!te we've seen they deserve to win but you'd imagine there's as much chance of that happening as Sehwag batting a whole day for ten runs.

That's terrible captaincy. Only halfway through day 3...heaps of time left.lead at very least should have been 500. Gusset could have teed off and got 200. Clarke could have got 350 or 400. Shouldn't have declared at least until a wicket fell. Ugh makes meso mad. Let India off the hook big time shoulda punished them another 50-100 runs and still had 2 days and half s session tonight. Tire the bowlers for the next test and mentally frustrate them more

 

[Ruckus]

PITCH IT UP please

 

[Spark]

What a catch!

 

[Spark]

Third time in a row this has happened. Rubbish bowling but we get a wicket anyway!

 

[Burgey]

Reckon this will be like South Africa v India at Centurion in 2010. India do well in their second innings, Tendulkar gets a 100, but they don't do enough to save the test.

This Tendulkar hundred thing.

No one really gives a ****.

God Sehwag really is a FTB.

 

[Ruckus]

Lol

 

[Neil Pickup]

If India did that after the sh!te we've seen they deserve to win but you'd imagine there's as much chance of that happening as Sehwag batting a whole day for ten runs.

Or Sehwag scoring >10 in the second dig.

 

[Spark]

That's the difference great fielding makes. That's a stunner.

 

[Cabinet96]

Lol...fail! Australia lose 1 wicket in 5 sessions. You get out for 4. Did the same thing at Edgbaston

This Tendulkar hundred thing.

No one really gives a ****.

God Sehwag really is a FTB.

I wasn't relating to the 100th 100 thing, I don't care at all to be honest. I just think he will get a ton.

 

[chicane]

Sigh. Sehwag and his second innings jinx.

For a miracle we needed a Sehwag slaughter.

 

[irottev]

Tendulkar is so overrated. Kallis is better

 

[Nate]

7.5 sessions to go. How much rain do you reckon is coming? and how long do you reckon it will take to take 10 wickets? They're talking about rain over night and some showers during the day, not losing a whole day or even a session. Why let them bat on the pitch whilst it's still great to bat on? I don't think we'll end up regretting it, but no where near ruthless enough for my liking.

It's meant to rain tonight and possibly all day tomorrow.

 

[Ruckus]

Ha I don't know if Gambhir wants to be doing that to Pattinson much...he might actually kill you.

 

[chicane]

Following up that crazy 151 in SA with a sublime unbeaten 329, Clarke's been ridiculously good. What he always promised.

 

[Anil]

...and so the only question is, will play spill over to the 4th day?
