*Official* India in Australia Thread

[PY]

Mr Alderman appears to have been the danger man in '89 as he took 41 wickets.

Mr Reid took 27 in '91 @ 16 a piece.

I remember that series, I used to think those ducks were cool until it was explained what they meant, then I hated the blighters ever since.

Ducks....grrrr

 

[V Reddy]

Zaheer and Harb out , Pathan and Anil in. Both out due to injuries

 

[Neil Pickup]

Harbhajan out for the Series.

Well, neither Kartik nor Zaheer are playing.

Good call!

Bichel in, Bracken 12th man.

Hayden out early for 12 to Pathan.

Only 369 away and a stunned/disappointed crowd...

Hayden's wicket !!!!That's a great gift for a debutant. How is Pathan? Is he comparable with Zaheer?

 

[V Reddy]

If only Sehwag had caught that catch of Pathan or Shepherd had given that plumb lbw of AA . The beneficiary in both is Ponting and he is still there :!( .

Kick out David Shepherd:!(

So far he's looked to be more of a genuine swinger (slower, but more movement in the air). That first ball to Hayden was a beauty. The lack of pace and the pitch though means that bad balls have been punished.

Ganguly, on being asked at the toss on what he thought of Pathan: "He's not the worst"

some people are never happy :P:P:P

the lbw decision wasn't that bad, remember that if the umpire has any doubt he must give the batsman NOT out

Pathan was more faster than Zaheer(3 years ago, ESPN-STAR sports mentioned about him saying the fastest in India(145 km/hr).) Probabaly be might have sacrificed his pace for swing.(like AA). So in the next test ,India will be without Nehra.

Except when the Batsman is Tendulkar,even if there is the slightest of doubts give him out

That was aus's policy for years agnst Scahin and it continues with those in the name of Neutral Umpires... Last time, the umpires were very much hurry in giving Sachin out even for the bowlers sneezing after the bowling follow- through

 

[rajat]

I doubt whether australia are playing a test match or a one day match. a score over 400 looks surely onthe cards today unless australia loses a wicket or 2 more in quick succesion. i hope s.waugh gets ponting runout. it would be a gr8 sight towatch.

It was ONE bad decision. Worse decisions have been made before. Get off it!

 

[rajat]

I wonder wat wud have happ. to the aussies batting if ponting had been given out. Surely they wont have been in such a good position as they arenow . India would have surely held the upper hand.

It was ONE bad decision. Worse decisions have been made before. Get off it!

I agree. worse decisions have been made before,

but
always in favour of Australia.

Australia truly is a world class team. even umpires have their full support for them.
