*Official* India in Australia Thread

[Rik]

Had there been 90 overs on the 1st day, the way India played the match would've been all but over.

And your proof? India's bowlers bowled exceptionally to get Aus out for such a low score. What proof is there that if the Game had lasted longer Aus would have scored more?

 

[Gaijin-san]

About as much proof that there is that Amits was taking the ****

 

[CDAK]

Mate, if every team that led after the first innings won the test match there wouldn't be a need for the second innings now, would there? :rolleyes:

I didn't talk about every test, every team...., but only in this test match context.One cannot expect India( this is not a Bangladesh or Zimbabwe team)to do badly after getting the first innings lead but on the other hand if they were allout around 150-200, then surely aus had a chance even after dealay due to rain.

 

[iamdavid]

Sheesh you guys, it's bloody obvious Amits is taking the ****. Why can't you actually understand humour when you see it? (and I'm not joking I honestly think he's humouring you and I think he succeeded)

No mate , he's dead serious , I've spoken to him on MSN & come across him on various other forums before , this is what he beleives , he isnt joking

[Amits mode] Sachin is way better than Bradman , Bradman played against crap bowlers , if Bradman played today he'd average 40.

Virender Sehwag is better than Matt Hayden

Sourav Ganguly is better than Steve Waugh

Anil Kumble is better than Shane Warne [/Amits mode]

 

[amits]

iamdavid, add to this -

zaheer is better than mcgrath
nehra is better than gillespie
agarkar is better than lee

and now

[arrogant aussies mode]aus will win 3-0[/arrogant aussies mode]

aus 3-0 still ??? :O

despite the drubbing u guys got in the 1st test, still.

as for the 5th day, zaheer bowled only 3 overs and agarkar only 12. if these 2 had bowled 20-20 overs each, aus would have been all out for less than 150 even. hayden, produced a once in a year type of an innings on the 5th day. even if sehwag had to face the indian bowling, he would have hit 99 off just 50 balls.

to be realistic, it will be a 2-1 win to india. and i am not going to go too optimistic. i still think that aus to have the ability to pull 1 back and that too only due to poor umpiring.

aus have no hope in this series and stop giving odds from aussie bookmakers. india r the overwhelming favs for the series, atleast according to me.

i cant wait to c the and :!( faces of u arrogant aussies on 6th jan.

aussies, stop making 1 eyed posts and stop taking 1 sided decisions. open ur other eye and look from the other side as well. india has better batsman and bowlers than aus. its only the fielding department, where aus r strong, but now even the indian fielding is improving.

neutrals, stop supporting aus. it will take u nowhere. support ind and join us in the celebrations after the 2-1 win to india on 6th jan.

Amit,
U r keeping the forum lively(too hot), with ur Sourav style appraoch.
On reading ur messages and the responses, what comes to my mind is the Indian Team's change in style in dealing foreign players. Eralier, Indians were very quiet and hadn't responded to any sledging (mostly from Aus and SA.I remember MerveHughes tried scare Sachin (he was 17yrs)by twisting big moustache and widening his bull's eye). Dravid had been a victim of sledging in his early days.Cronje and Donald utilized this many times. Sachin never responded to any sledging( except once to McGrath by exchaning some word after lofting for six).But others really suffered.
THings changed when Sourav became the captain. He started to respond strongly against anything( and got punished with one side justification, many times) .Atlast, even Steve complained against the difficulty his team was facing due to Sourav's arrogance and misbehaviour!!!!!Now, the entire team is ready to take even the sledging king McGrath.
So amit is doing what aus poeple have been doing for times( probably, a bit more ).
so amit , be genuine, never try to adjust for others in such matters.

cdak, yes, earlier indians used to be very quiet. indians never ever responded to any sledging. saurav has been responsible for this transformation. he has brought aggressiveness into the team. even irfan pathan did a bit of sledging in a tour game as well. irfan pathan is india's mcgrath as far as sledging goes.

now the indians eith ka jawaab pathar se dete hai. we give back what others give to us. aussies started this sledging and they should be ready to take it. we do give back what those aussies and saffies, the 2 sledging giants have given us.

aussies, r just a bunch of arrogant guys who think that their team is going to dominate cricket forever. what they dont know is that every empire has an end and auss end is going to come very soon.

this is shocking that an indians comments r being taken as "arrogant", but nothing is being done to arrogant comments made by aussie members like "iamdavid", "marc71178", etc.

Maybe Amit does that in every forum and enjoys the reactions. Me thinks it's very easy to deceive you

I think that is happening with Indians in general too atleast IMO. I think that has got to do with increasing per capita income which inturn leads to self confidense. I notice that with Indians in other sports too. Anyway it's great that it's happening.

[arrogant aussies mode]aus will win 3-0[/arrogant aussies mode]

aus 3-0 still ???

Yes Amits , unless in rains I still beleive Australia will win the remaining 3 tests.

despite the drubbing u guys got in the 1st test, still.

as for the 5th day, zaheer bowled only 3 overs and agarkar only 12. if these 2 had bowled 20-20 overs each, aus would have been all out for less than 150 even. hayden, produced a once in a year type of an innings on the 5th day. even if sehwag had to face the indian bowling, he would have hit 99 off just 50 balls.

What drubbing , I watched every ball of that test , I must've missed that drubbing bit.
Had it only been day 3 (ie it hadnt rained) then Waugh wouldnt have declared at 3-284 , he would in all likelyhood have set the Indians around 350 in a day , they then would likely have choked.

to be realistic, it will be a 2-1 win to india. and i am not going to go too optimistic. i still think that aus to have the ability to pull 1 back and that too only due to poor umpiring.

aus have no hope in this series and stop giving odds from aussie bookmakers. india r the overwhelming favs for the series, atleast according to me.

I think you will find that Indian bookmakers actually have Australia as overwhelming favourites aswell Amits:P

i cant wait to c the and :!( faces of u arrogant aussies on 6th jan.

Home umpires arent allowed to stand in test anymore Amits , lets be realistic here , India played well & truly better than most expected them to , in the first of four tests against a second string attack in a game where they clearly had the better of conditions , they were better than average , but no more.

Currently they can have that arrogance as their team is the best in consistant performance.(in the mean time).
But the funda fact is applicable to all. "don't take everything granted for all time". After all, everything in the world has to be Gaussian by nature in the long run

Marc is English:P

Saying that we beleive Australia will win the series by a convincing margin is not arrogant , notice everyone agree's with us as regards the IND v AUS series :P

 

[garage flower]

No, just pointing things out that seem to be overlooked by people, and to me say that Australia were never going to lose that game, and would've won it had it gone the full 5 days.

Again, that seems a trifle arrogant to me. Both Ganguly and Laxman got themselves out in the 1st innings trying to score quickly. Had a result been likely, I'm sure they would have tempered their approach accordingly.

In India's 2nd innings, Laxman and Dravid were in complete control and Tendulkar, Ganguly and a perhaps underrated tail were still in the hut.

 

[CDAK]

I think , u aussie guys might have predicted 3-0 in aus favour, when they visited India last time. A good lesson u've to learn, never predict anything if it's India against u. :alien8: :ticking:

No , I didnt.

I predicted a 1-1 or possibly 2-1 in favour of Australia.

Im very pesimistic when it comes to Australia's chances in test's on the subcontinent.

 

[Linda]

But alot of people predicted the World Cup champs...

As for this whole arrogancy thing, howcome Australians cant be called optimistic?
Why is it that, when we think we will win the series, are called arrogant, when you, who think you will win the series call yourself optimistic?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

this is shocking that an indians comments r being taken as "arrogant", but nothing is being done to arrogant comments made by aussie members like "iamdavid", "marc71178", etc.

Amits that may be arrogance too, but that doesn't change the fact that you are being arrogant, therefore it is hypocrasy to point it out in the way you have.

This is quite an interesting and relevant comment. The thing about you CDAK is that although you share the Indian optimism, you approach it with a balanced head. That's good.

 

[luckyeddie]

Sheesh you guys, it's bloody obvious Amits is taking the ****. Why can't you actually understand humour when you see it? (and I'm not joking I honestly think he's humouring you and I think he succeeded)

I agree, Rik.

'Amit' - Engless, boundless
'Amitabh' - one of boundless splendour (probably means 'Ganguly')
'Amitesh' - 'Infinite god' - No. That's Ganguly
'Amits' - dunno. Probably means 'Infinite duck'

<quack> you called?

 

[CDAK]

Im very pesimistic when it comes to Australia's chances in test's on the subcontinent.

But aus were successful in the subcontinent ,other than in India.
