*Official* India in Australia Thread

[luckyeddie]

Guys please update the scores of tomorrow's tour match here. The cricinfo live scores page is not updating on my PC since settings were changed two days back . I have two days off due to Ramzan . So please update the scores from time to time if you could

I received an email from Baggy Green a couple of days ago saying that users will have to re-register there. Perhaps there is a connection?

 

[V Reddy]

I never registered let alone re-registering. This is happening for me with all cricket matches and not just Aus cricket matches. We had a new Cable Internet Connection and since then this problem started. I can open the live scores page but the updating it does after 1 min is not happening. It is just reloading the same page. I don't think it is even using internet b'coz the reloaded page is opening in less than 1 sec and no my connection is not that fast. Anyway , thanks fot trying to help out LE

 

[Neil Pickup]

Try telling the machine not to store Temporary Internet Files. Or just refreshing manually (F5 in MSIE)?

 

[V Reddy]

tried both neil but no luck .

 

[amits]

vishnureddy,

forget about the live scores. i think espn/star sports is showing it on tv to viewers in india? :S

 

[V Reddy]

amit, Espn/Star is not showing the side games. It is only showing Test Matches and not the side/practise matches

Lehmann is out of the test series against India. This gives Michael Clarke 4 tests to upstage Katich for a spot in the side.
Maybe we'll finally get a good look at how good this kid's gonna be.

Poppycock!

He first has to get ahead of Katich and Love - and I cannot see it happening.

He is fast becoming a candidate for "Balaji of the year 2004"

 

[The Argonaut]

No doubt that Clarke has the potential to be a very good test cricketer but needs more first class experience. The selectors have sent him to India this time with an eye to the test tour next year. He will have seen the conditions and may be a success there.

At the Gabba I would pick Love. A fifth bowler is not required and certainly not a spinner. If the 1st test was at Adelaide or Sydney I would pick Katich. My 1st test side would be:

Hayden, Langer, Ponting, Martyn, Waugh, Love, Gilchrist, Bichel, Gillespie, MacGill, Williams (12th man Bracken)

 

[Gaijin-san]

Sorry Marc, I meant 4 tests to get a chance to play, not 4 tests in which he would actually play.
I know he stands next to no chance at the moment, but if they give up Katich anything is possible. I will now note that I am not playing down Martin Love's abilities like I have been chastized for appearing to do, merely stating that if Katich goes, and it was between Clarke and Love for a number 6 spot, he would stand a more reasonable chance of playing than he does now.

The Cricinfo re-registering thing is done on the 4th of December, I believe, to coincide with the start of the first test. So it sounds like it's not a registering thing.
