***Official*** India in Australia 2014-5

[OverratedSanity]

Be an interesting learning curve here for India's younger players. Realistically they can't cahse it down barring Australia losing a couple of bowlers (could happen), so how they adapt to batting a bit of time will be interesting. It's something Australia just can't do atm.

I hope they atleast think of having a crack though it's virtually impossible .

YOLO

 

[dognutz]

they weren't, though? i only saw a bit but dhoni's fields were defensive as hell

yup. They struck me like they were happy to stay out there and chew time to maximise chance of a draw. In other words, they would prefer to go down 3-0 than 4-0 rather than try to stay alive which is nothing to gloat about. Or at best they might hope for 2-1 which looks better on the scoreboard but amounts to the same thing - lame.

Is this Michael Clarke commentating again? He always seems to be commentating whenever I turn on to watch this Test. Ugh.

And so have India significantly reduced their chances of going down 3-0 and ultimately another 4-0. From here on, the series could end with a more respectable score-line from Indian point of view. Plus they'd finally their 5 match losing streak, and will feel that Australia were afraid to declare and so will get a chance gloat about how they were a more aggressive side than Australia

The onus was on us to take those wickets early and attempt a difficult put not impossible chase. We just didn't do it.

The presser will be interesting. Predicting that Dhoni calls Australia negative . Kind of like that hilariousttime when Graeme Smith ccalled India negative after his own side chickened out of a chase of 16 runs in 3 overs.

Stone. Dead.

Harris. Man, what a bowler.

That is out. That's ****ing out. If you're a lady watching at home and you ask your partner why that's out, it's just ****ing out.

 

[Antihippy]

**** that was a perfect nut.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Ryno you hnnngable babe

 

[Burgey]

Quite like this move. Rahul is an opener isn't he? Probably a decent idea

 

[Contra]

well this is interesting.

 

[The_Bunny]

Big call sending the Debutant out now

 

[Daemon]

Ffs dhawan. Needed him to get going. Dire.

 

[Spikey]

he'll bop harris over midwicket with a sweep

 

[Contra]

If Rahul scores runs and helps save the game, does he get to stay opening for the next test instead of Dhawan?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lol we're ****.
