Australia Tour Of India 2012/13

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Yes we did not do our homework on Starc, still I think Dhoni and management would have clearly stated, that WE WANT TO WIN!! Scoring 220 runs by the ends of days play would really give us amazing start. 32 overs left and if this goes on, another 120 runs could be easily added.

With two days plays and pitch turning, I could see Australia rattling on Day 5

Brilliant inning from Dhawan! Agree on the fact that probably the best debut inning I have ever seen. So happy to see him doing good.

 

[Epic]

Fastest hundred on debut that! Dhawan.

 

[aussie1st]

Geez that was impressive, well played.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Amazing 100 well played Dhawan

 

[cerande]

Probably first batsman to complete his century with a 5.Well Played.

This Indian batting is finally coming together. Jadeja's turnaround has also added a nice all rounder spot, and the Indian spinners Ashwin and Ojha are quite handy. If Umesh Yadav can recover from his injury to give the Indian fast bowlers a bit of depth, they might be formidable in SA. That's if their batsmen don't crumble under the RSA conditions.

Having such a shaky line-up australia have made a awesome total....and even the Indians have played quite fast and well all credits to Dhawan and Starc.

 

[Gurjot95]

We still need Zaheer and Parveen/Shreesanth in SA. No idea why Ishant has been given so many opportunities even after continuous failure.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

smith did really well, actually backed himself to score runs and didn't look like a frightened rabbit. if they do bring one of the breakfast club back for hughes and clarke gets in they might not be too far away from a decent batting line up.

and xavier doherty is currently having his test career ended. positives all round for australia.

We still need Zaheer and Parveen/Shreesanth in SA. No idea why Ishant has been given so many opportunities even after continuous failure.

I agree that Zaheer and Praveen are good, but Sreesanth was never good (at bowling or dancing), nor is he needed. Zaheer, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, and Umesh Yadav should be front runners, but Zaheer's age is against him now. Ishant is the hardest worker, so the team isn't giving up on him so easily. No way in hell is Praveen going to make the team anytime soon. Don't get me wrong, he's a great bowler, but he's had a lot of behavior problems on and off the field recently. He beat up people and cursed out umpires. Even his domestic teammates were supposedly scared of him.

 

[Aalay]

150 of 131 balls, continue with those boundaries Dhawan.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Well I thought, 220 is what we would achieve, but 230 already and still 14 overs remaining, we can well reach 300 also with Dhawan out there. The match is very well still on. If these two continue, does anyone want Dhoni to come in next or Kohli? To just smash around and a 150-180 runs lead by the end of tomorrows day?

180 runs lead and 5th day pitch with Ojha Jadeja and Ashwin, we can definitely win it

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

smith might be a bit dangerous, he had a long time to look at the indian bowlers up close and personal and might just feel he can be australia's talisman.

and then he gets hit for 2 fours. well.

dhawan's miss hit a couple in the last few overs, shouldn't go mental here, pujara and vijay put on some epic partnership that made it feel like india were capable of going past 1000 if they wanted but when the rest of the guys came in they sort of collapsed.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Well whats with the Aussie spinners? They need to find atleast 10% like Shane Warne. All these bowlers are piece of garbage to be honest, just complete the follow through and get hit for a six or four.

That's why you dont leave your best bowler Pattinson out for not doing a presentation.

England won the series only because Panesar was a revolution for them(although he is ---- too) and we dint expect that. Hatsoff to England for that win
