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

Clarkeh?

Post Cape Town yeah. Doesn't hold back when he criticises, him - was brutal in that presser.

And we won the next match, so.

Kohli:

"Sometimes it doesn't go your way and sometimes it does. Luck is a very important thing in cricket, but unfortunately it hasn't been going our way in important phases.

We have lost wickets before breaks, after breaks, just before lunch, just before tea, we have lost important wickets at important times," said Kohli.

That is all that has been happening, it is not a matter of temperament or technique, things just haven't been going our way."

Ganguly hammered him for his comments on Star but rightly said that a senior player should've been facing the press after such a dreadful day

Really like Sourav as a commentator - totally unbiased and simply tells it as it is

Has Craig McDermott lost a tonne of weight? I saw him a year or two back and he was colossal.

Guy went from being a multi living on caviar & Moet to a bankrupt applying for jobs as a cricket coach so I'd say stress had a lot to do with it

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Did Greigy just say Sri Lanka has some good young bowlers?

 

[Noble One]

Sharma looks to be bowling in good areas, however far too short for this wicket.

Who is the Indian bowling coach BTW? Doesn't take a pro to highlight the major weakness in the bowling of Sharma.

Odds on a Warner triple?

Much longer than him getting out early today

Troy Cooley maybe?

 

[NUFAN]

Eric Simons I believe.

I think Warner will get out before Cowan, hopefully Cowan and Marsh can share in a decent partnership, I think they've made like 2 runs in partnership in about 3 innings.

Akram has been saying on Star that he was lucky to play with Imran who passed things onto him

He then passed it on to Waqar, etc

However, it doesnt look like Zaheer has passed anything on to Ishant or if he has, the guy isnt listening

It's a good thing though, he played a charity cricket game of some sort in NZ (I forget what it was all about) and was massively obese iirc. Just looks a bit fat now.

 

[Uppercut]

"We're fifteen minutes into day two. The scores are level, and Australia have still got ten wickets in the shed."

"Yep, that'll be a concern for the Indians..."

 

[TumTum]

India have practically lost an innings

 

[thierry henry]

ok I'm sick of this swishing now, it's like having to watch Gilchrist all over again. Get out plz.

 

[Ruckus]

Sehwag's foot movement is just pure ****.

 

[Spark]

Hmmm for all the stuff about the pitch that ball must feel like a sponge right now.

 

[Ruckus]

Played Cowan! Takes some mental strength to not get carried away with Warner at the other end.

 

[social]

Cowan might be a limited player but his s/r is still over 60 - that's pretty quick for a "normal" opener

 

[Spark]

I love how the good balls are the ones disappearing into the crowd.

 

[Noble One]

Well done Ed!

India need wickets so badly this morning. Four pacemen on a hot Perth day could be a disaster. Sehwag could well bowl 30 overs today.

 

[Jayzamann]

So, "that's how he plays"?

It's been a continuous comparison with Sehwag.
