Australia in India

[Cricketman]

It's a fantastic pitch though.
And a strong lineup.

What's with the singles?

Its not that fantastic a pitch. India have batted well to be in this position at this point of time. 270+ should be a very challenging total. 290 could be a winning total.

Dravid getting into song here! Two consecutive boundaries. Superb shots too from Dravid!

 

[Cricketman]

Dravid is showing his class!

Dravid is showing his class!

Superb timing (from you)! He is GONE!

bowled em. Great delivery.

Sounds like a brief version of commentary man. Put more words in there!

 

[Gilly Fan]

Superstar Gilly. Takes that one with his helmet. I think he's hungry.

Dravid bowled next ball. Was probably laughing too hard.

That was a real low percentage shot. I mean seriously.. how many times in a row.
Should've done a paddle sweep.

Sai I was going to add words and try to merge it with double post or whatever but you had to post in the middle :

6 overs left. 6x12=72. +230=302.
You guys think we can do that?

12 isn't likely, even on a genuine road of a surface. I'd say 7-9, especially if they start eating into the tail. I'm going to say 282.

One thing I'm wondering about is if the bounce might even up for Australia. Sometimes it happens, especially if the right roller is used. India would be very unfortunate in that case, although they already have a defensible total in their sights.

Does anyone think that the plan was to conserve as many wickets till the last 20 overs, at which point, India's 'somewhat expertise' in the T20 format could come into play.

 

[Gilly Fan]

And why is Binga not bowling?

And why is Binga not bowling?

Ahh, he granted my wish.

 

[donkey]

not a single six so far

 

[Gilly Fan]

That's a disgrace. Ponting, why the hell did Lee only get 7 overs? He went at bloody 3.5 an over! What more could you want besides wickets!

 

[prarara]

This 281 is supposed to be the highest score on this pitch.

 

[Gilly Fan]

At the moment, I would rather Lee over Bracken. Bracken has just been spanked for 20+ in the last over and conceded 78 and 50 more than Lee in only 3 more overs. That's hignsight for ya though.

Expect Gilly fireworks guys! A century is coming! Bet your house on it!
