***Official*** India in Australia

[Laurrz]

what was the point in that maiden

 

[SJS]

Very interesting.

Sachin thinks Ishant needs to be protected from the wiles of Hogg but not from the fury of Lee and Co.

 

[Perm]

He's just trying to get a lead of 100 runs, and he's obviously exhausted. I don't blame him at all, just pick up the singles, Sharma is hitting the odd boundary. Once India get that lead over 100 then they'll have a real crack at Australia, although it would be nice to see that happen tonight.

 

[Anil]

looks like tendulkar is planning to remain not out, the only thing that can explain what he is doing right now...anyway for once, our tail is wagging exceptionally, so it's working out very well so far....

 

[Laurrz]

well bowled Binger
and of course, well batted SRT

 

[Agent TBY]

Done and done.

Now to see how well we bowl.

I think as SJS said Ishant will find Lee easier to face than Hogg.

 

[Perm]

Bing gets 5.

No doubt some will try and crucify Tendulkar.

 

[funnygirl]

Tendulkar got his objective .Pathetic !

 

[Beleg]

I honestly don't understand the point of playing like this.

I am extremely preplexed.

 

[James_W]

And it's over! Sharma has to do well with the ball now.

 

[Pratters]

Gone! Excellent lead of 69 runs.

India has made a huge statement with the fightback. Tendulkar raises his bat, crowd cheers. Stuff of legends.

 

[Pratters]

Tendulkar got his objective .Pathetic !

Ofcourse and he deserves that .He played a great knock ,however that doesn't mean that he should give a maiden over to hogg .

 

[Top_Cat]

First 5-fer of the summer for Lee and well deserved I think. Been the form quick bowler worldwide for the last couple of months.

Great knock from Sachin. And yeah, get off his back; he was quite clearly struggling att the end there and I think this innings took a lot out of him.

SCG = Sachin's Cricket Ground indeed.

 

[Perm]

Tendulkar got his objective .Pathetic !

 

[funnygirl]

Is there any explanation for that maiden

 

[duffer]

Bhajji and Anil will be the wildcards here. The aussies are going to have to go at them hard if they want no 16. They're a real chance of picking up some poles tommorow.

India a real shot now.

 

[Pratters]

I honestly don't understand the point of playing like this.

I am extremely preplexed.

Probably trying to get as many runs as they can with little care about the overs as they didn't think of declaring any time soon. Also, Tendulkar usually doesn't monopolise the strike with tail enders.

 

[Perm]

Ofcourse and he deserves that .He played a great knock ,however that doesn't mean that he should give a maiden over to hogg .

He deserves to be crucified? If it wasn't for his innings then India would be staring down the barrel of a gun at the moment. Pretty obvious that he was knackered, batting for a whole day with the sun beating down can't be that easy.
