***Official*** India in Australia

it's a shame about there quicks, not sure if they can handle this.... a 19 yo and a 22 yo.. they are both very talented though.. i saw a bit of Ishant against Pakistan...seems a very good prospect..

and since they are bowling first.. there will be a lot of pressure on em

 

[silentstriker]

Damn it...Ponting needs to give us a chance. The opposing team should always get to win the toss.

 

[Raghav]

Ponting wins it. It will be very nice again to see Haydos and Phil to pile up runs.

Missed the pitch report, is the SCG still a vicious turner?

Look at the last three test matches played here! You will notice that pace bowlers got 70 % of the wickets. The curator says its friendly for Pace. It would be another worse week for Indian team. Pity them.

Here goes nothing....

Zaheer

Aussie luck will have to run out? And many play and misses to they have in Melbourne?

 

[Oscillatingmind]

we're a lucky bunch (touchwood)

Real shame that Zaheer's missing out. Hopefully Ishant can do his bit to make this more competitive, not too optimistic though.

Og Great, whta's happening to all the Australian pitches? The WACA losing pace and bounce, the SCG evidently not a turner.... dear oh dear....

Agreed on both counts.

 

[NUFAN]

Sharma looks gun, after watching him bowl 3 balls ever, lol

 

[Laurrz]

oh crap, Jaques

 

[Oscillatingmind]

bugger

 

[Perm]

Jaques feeling the pinch?

 

[NUFAN]

Terrible shot by Jaques. The pressure at playing home got to him.

Ponting to score 100..

 

[Jamee999]

Woop woop woop!

RP! Was telling my friend yesterday how RP would do better in this test. In England, he struggled on the first day but came back stronger later. Have always rated him highly and he does have a HUGE responsibility in this test.

 

[pasag]

Jaques' first faliure since his return. Not the smartest shot ever, it must be said.
