***Official*** India in Australia

[TT Boy]

Ponting cant play doosras

He liked Johan Botha's one.

 

[andruid]

yeah competitive test match

 

[Jamee999]

Agree with Tanny - Kumble needs to get on at the other end.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Nothing makes me smile like a Ponting double failure. Great player, but can't stand him.

Jamee giving 15 minute late commentary. He's like a 15yr old cricinfo.

 

[Mister Wright]

Wow, when was the last time Ponting failed twice in the same match?

34 & 20 against South Africa 2006

Last time I can find him getting 2 single figure scores in a test matchis against Pakistan 1999. He got a pair.

Eh?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Eh?

He's calling you 15 and late and commercialized.

 

[Jamee999]

I'm not commercialised

Anything less than 325 and it will be a game. Not that we'll win or anything, but it'll be a long shot. But if they bat on for more than a session and a half - that's it.

325...specific total there

from an aussie perspective... i say anything over 450 and im confident lol.. coz u never know with this indian batting and it could get harder for quicks to get wickets

I think it's definitely a mistake to write India off now, even if they're chasing something like 400. It's obviously getting easier to bat the 4th time around, and history shows that India can upset Australia, particularly if Tendulkar plays like he did in the first innings and the rest of the middle order fires.

 

[Perm]

Ponting failing against India. Again. ITSTL.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Haha, like last time he played India in Australia.

Oh wait, he made consecutive doubles.

Yea, he doesn't have any problems facing India in Australia.

I dont think by half way through tomorrow this pitch is going to be easy to bat on at all. This pitch is showing major signs of inconstant bounce. India have some class batsman who are able to chase big scores but there along way from having this game an even chance proposition yet.

 

[Perm]

Hussey to reach 2000 Test runs today?

 

[Laurrz]

well they just showed the most successful chases at the G

in the last 60 years the highest is 297........ so yea batting last is very hard at the G

 

[archie mac]

They lost this Test on day 2, still good to see them fight, expecting a close finish in Sydney

 

[archie mac]

2001 Eden garden the last time Ponting got out for single figures in a Test
