Australia in India

[angryangy]

and has everyone heard the pitch is green? is anyone else wondering if their eyesight is working?

 

[vibs89]

So the pitch is green rite that means it s gonna seams, swings and spin alot

 

[angryangy]

The truth is just that it actually has grass on it for a change. It's not green grass though, it's not being watered, so it's very much yellow and looked like it would be a fairly traditional wicket. Sourav Ganguly however, has decided grass is India's enemy and asked the curator to remove the grass.

I personally wonder whether he's more worried about his top order's apparent lack of form rather than giving Australia's pace attack half a hope of a few wickets.

 

[vibs89]

I hope agarkar improves and take an early wicket but India had bad luck on the last day of 2nd test match

 

[angryangy]

Agarkar's got to have better luck than Pathan at least

 

[vibs89]

Ya man Agragar c'mon

86.1 Khan to Clarke, FOUR, oh dear! excellent delivery, regulation
outside edge, easy catch put down by Patel, doesn't get easier
than this! Patel's nightmare continues

Anyone else think that he's essentially playing as a batsmen?

Batting for India and fielding for Australia by the sounds of it.

I just hope Patel scores zero in both the innings of this test match and selectors send him back to little league. He can bully all the kids with his skills.

Clarke should have been out twice if it hadn't been for that pathetic fellow.The Selectors are going to regret their decision of keeping after the match,especially if Clarke makes a big score.(another century perhaps :upray )

 

[Briggsey]

Why isnt Yuvraj playing, just doesnt make sense, one minute hes in and Chopra is out then next minute its switched, wots going on with the selectors??

 

[squiz]

Brilliant keeping from the young Indian Patel *rollseyes*

But one thing I couldn't believe it when he stumped Warney, he can barely catch the ball let alone swipe the bails off as well

 

[Briggsey]

yes but he made up for it by missing Gillespie's stumping

 

[rahulk666]

yes but he made up for it by missing Gillespie's stumping

So he left two stumpings and one caught behind?? in other words gave away more than 50+ runs?

Just read that Dravid who usually comforts the players for mishaps actually berated Patel after missing Clarke's caught behind. indian selectors are real nut jobs. even a fools like them should act now and replace the incompetent indian goalkeeper (no i did not mix cricket with football here. Patel's wicketkeeping is equivalent to lousy goalkeeping)
