***Official*** India in Australia

[Nate]

Jaques vs Kumble and Harby. Yiiiikes.

 

[Pratters]

Be interesting watching how Matt Hayden plays Ganguly, can't see him being as accommodating as the Pakistani batsman were.

The flip side is, Ganguly wont be as swingless as the Fernandos of the world either.

 

[TT Boy]

Jaques vs Kumble and Harby. Yiiiikes.

Not sure why Jaques would be afraid of Singh, he bowls flat non-threatening bullets. Can’t believe the Indians are playing him.

 

[TT Boy]

Was only a matter of time.

 

[Pratters]

Ganguly starts off with a maiden over. Gunness.

 

[Johnners]

Test Cricket

Fantastic opening spell from Kahn, Jaques to open up now imo.

 

[TT Boy]

Shot from Jaques.

 

[Mister Wright]

Great stuff this morning. Chappelli already put in his place.

Oh, the cricket's been good too.

 

[TT Boy]

Hayden really doesn’t rate Ganguly, showing him utter distain.

 

[Pratters]

The solid part about Australia is that even despite the difficult period, they have maintained a very good run rate. They will keep hitting the boundaries and taking those singles to always be at it.

 

[Bracken]

Great start from the Indian quicks. They are terribly unlucky to have bowled that well, and still be looking at a scorecard of 0/70 odd.

 

[Mister Wright]

No wickets this session, this score could be anything!

That's the thing about Australia do so well, even if a team is bowling well they always look to score and all of a sudden the team is 0/79 already and Kumble is changing the field all the time. Other teams would do well to take this attitude.

Yes but when playing Aus you must maintain the intensity. Khan did, Singh did not but you cant take the pressure off and when it was released the strokes came and Australia have taken control and If India dont find 2 wickets soon there finding themselves well behind the eight ball before the half way mark on day one.

 

[TT Boy]

Ganguly.

 

[sideshowtim]

ROFL. Awful fielding. Absolutely dreadful.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Dog plop fielding there.

 

[Craig]

Why don't India hire somebody like Jonty Rhodes as fielding coach?

 

[sideshowtim]

Why don't India hire somebody like Jonty Rhodes as fielding coach?

Think he's employed by South Africa at the moment.

Do India even have a specialist fielding coach though?

 

[TheLad]

Why don't India hire somebody like Jonty Rhodes as fielding coach?

Than they can hire Alan Donald as fast bowling coach than they cave Kirsten, Rhodes and Donald and call them the African Trio.
