***Official*** India in Australia

[Jono]

Oh Australia do it too. Just not as often. When they do, it's big......

Obviously, every team has a collapse every now and then. But the other teams it happens much more often. Its a part of cricket, and for someone to say "typical Indian collapse" suggests they're the only team that does it, which is simply incorrect.

Btw, I know Irfan has bowled on some flat ass surfaces in his test career so far... but an average of 46.43 (not including Zim and Ban games) is pretty damn awful.

 

[NUFAN]

Wow unlucky for Rogers.

 

[Johnners]

Ohhhh Rogers, well made 4 on debut tbh

Haha, Alderman caning Rauf on ABC. First Sachin, then Dravid (non-LBW), then Dhoni, now Rogers.

 

[Protean]

Awh, feel sorry for Rogers.

 

[masterblaster]

Rogers gone for 4!

Poor guy, on debut! Good for India though, well done Pathan!

 

[Laurrz]

crap, unlucky there

 

[sideshowtim]

Well, Rogers unlucky there. My first thought was legside and hawkeye seemed to confirm that.

AWTA.

Regarding Irfan, he may be crap but he's good enough to get Chris Rogers.

Rough decision in your first innings must be shattering.

Hopefully Irfan's tail is up now. That being said, after he got a first over hattrick vs. Pakistan, you'd think he'd be full of confidence. He didn't do much after that

Rogers overbalancing. Perhaps going down leg but I don't have too many issues with that being given. It was a good piece of bowling from Pathan really after dragging him out towards the off side earlier on with the line and the swing he was getting.

 

[Johnners]

HB Singh to come on and field at short leg imo.

EDIT: Erk Jaques

Seems Rauf's problem is just that he's incompetent, and shouldn't be umpiring at test match level.

You don't have a problem with LBWs that are going down the legside being given? Thank God you're not an umpire.

 

[Protean]

two down!!

 

[duffer]

YES! Irfan!!!!!

 

[pasag]

Oh, crap.

 

[burr]

poor guy ooh another wicket, exciting

 

[sideshowtim]

poor guy ooh another wicket, exciting

Argh!!

 

[Jono]

Man you guys are quicker than Cricbuzz and Cricinfo.

I have been given NO WORK today, why am I here and not watching on TV

 

[masterblaster]

Jaques gone! My theory proves correct, the inexperience of the Jaques/Rogers combination is always going to give India an inroad and it proves correct. Great stuff India!

 

[duffer]

Game on now. Should be interesting.
