*Official* India in Australia Thread

If ever there was a collapse, that was it. :wow: They might as well have declared.:rolleyes:

Gee, I was thinking 450-500. Oh well. All depends on how we ball.

A collapse of Englandesque proportions - should be interesting now. Kudos to the Aussie bowlers for fighting back.

Many of you ppl are saying this is an Indian batting collapse , thats wrong, this is the Indian norm. You saw it thru out the world cup, thru out the TVS cup and you will seeing it at Sydney test also, also against Pakistan in the upcoming tour.


The problem with Australia was in the first two tests they didn't have bowlers quick enuff like Donald, Younis, Lee, Sami who can beat batsmen in the air, OZ was relying on the swing of Bracken to get rid of the tail.

When Lee, Gillespie, BRacken and MAcGill are bowling - rest assured ay taileneders from any part of the world won't last long.

Players like Ganguly and Patel who were hitting the ball all round the park immediately become non- factors. As an Indian I feel sad but as a cricket fan I think this is true cricket, had Australia's capitalized on all chances Sehwag wouldn't make more than 10 or 20 runs, Indian total would be below 200! However the pitch is drying up and Oz will have problems bowling India out in the next innings, as for India we rely more on swing and low bounce rather than pace, and deliveries hitting the rib cage which is why I think the likes of Khan and Nehra may do well! Agarkar and PAthan together would have bin better since both of 'em hardly got any bounce and that frustrates the likes of Hayden, Ponting and Gilly a lot. I think Kumble will do fairly well here also!

If a collapse equals norm, then they are synonyms able to be used interchangably.

This is y I said earlier" ..all in Indian batsmen's hand.." in response to Jagaway's" all in Lee's hand..'".
I was wondering y the indians are not coming back to their" form",and here they are.Now , I can sense a good innings coming from Sachin(since others started failing).
Belive me, it didn't surprise me to see 366 allout (just now I woke up and turned on compu.).This is a typical Indian performance( barring Sachin's Duck).

Terrible batting...no application from the tail...leather hunt in store for the indians.

Out of the 11 men,5 didnt contribute.
Awful,idiotic run-out of agarkar..kumble with an expansive cover drive.Nice score of 366 though,going into the leap year:)

What a collapse :!( . Typical indian one. Lee has definately made a difference with Tudor type bouncers at tailenders. Now it's time for bowlers to take some punishment :yawn:

Where in the world is this located?

and this was not a collapse.366 is a good score. if you want a real collapse then look at ozs 2 inning in the 2nd test

A couple of beautiful drives for 4 by Hayden in the first over after lunch. He is concentrating hard and looking dangerous. Aus 1/47

Bapu Rao Swami-Ok, are you plain ******** or have you not noticed what Neil posted earlier? ok, listen very carefully that is NOT acceptable. It is infact a comment slurred with racial stereotypes. Now, i dont think anyone want more such plain bull*cks.
