Australia in India

[Hooper]

Andrew Symonds = Superhuman

Nice shot from Brett Lee there lol

Our bowling performances in this sries has been nothing short of disgraceful.
We have looked out of depth in the bowling department.
Failing to finish off sides after taking 4-5 wickets has been our problem area for years and is still an issue but conceding 300 every game puts immense pressure on the batsmen every time irrespective of the good pitches.
It is as if the bowlers don`t exist.

300+ is a reasonable target buddy..its our batting line-up that fails to perform

Binga with a huge six!

 

[Gilly Fan]

Binga what a shot!

Here is Roy's ton.

and the awesome glide to 3rd man.

If we can get through the first 15, 320ish is gettable.

lol this is a class pic as well:

Binga out by a short distance.

This has been a good last over.

Johnson run out last ball.
8/317. A good score.

No dude, it is not just our bowlers who are to blame. Australia have scored 300 batting first almost everytime in the last x innings except for a couple of blips. They haven't gotten off to a flash start every time, either, which shows that any part of their batting line-up can react when required.

 

[Cricketman]

It's just that one person on the line up raises their hand and says "Hey, my team needs my help, and I'm going to get a hundred" and he will. Even if Australia are 18-4, some random dude will get a hundred, some other dude will get 80 ish, and they'll get 300. That's why Australia are ranked #1.

Erm.

Pull up that "ifs" and "buts" about christmas quote thats a couple pages back and read it to yourself please.

Dhoni as well!
Each batsman playing their brand of cricket at it's best!

 

[Cricketman]

lol, wth?

Anyways, Sachin and Sourav need to get us off to an absolute flier. I'm talking 100 in the first 15, baby.
Then, Dhoni at 3. Blast another 180+ and we should be all set...

 

[SaiSrini]

I have no hope on any in our team at this moment to win this one! Series is GONE!!!! We bowled well in the middle, but as usual we just dont have the right guys to do it consistently enough. And teams like Australia will make you pay for that

 

[Cricketman]

Erm.

At least I didn't go on about it forever

 

[jkartik]

my main concern has been india's batting more than the bowling....!
on paper, we have a better batting line-up than aussies but still
we easily get bogged down.

tendulkar and ganguly play REALLY REALLY slow....! in the 1st 5 overs...
they always score around 15-20 even on a placid batting track....
the bowlers then capitalize on them ! result = lose of early wickets with very
low run rate and puts pressure on the middle order....! but that doesnt
mean the opening pair should always click....! we have the likes of dravid and
yuvi who can take the game away if its their day....! only now dravid is going
through a rough patch and yuvi cant be relied upon....
