Australian Tour of India, October 2010/11

[shravi]

I can't believe willow is not showing this. The nerve! I know how to get good *ahem ahem* links but I'd rather not go through all that trouble once again.

Watson is the king of reverse swing for our side, he seems to get it going before the other bowlers and has the ability to get it going both ways. Bollinger does it here and there, can't remember too much on Hilfy. Johnson on very rare occasions can also get it to reverse.

I've seen Hilfy bowl some reverse yorkers for Tasmania, but that's the quandary of his Test career so far; he's played two thirds of his career in England and has hardly had to do anything but bowl conventional outswing. He's avoided not only sub-continental conditions, but even places like Adelaide, so there's hardly a safe bet on how he's going to fare.

Conversely, it will be interesting to see what Bollinger brings. His limited overs bowling on those sorts of pitches has been very effective and his ability to extract bounce from a slow surface might be the key to Australia's chances.

He did in in tests in SA & ENG 09. I remember a big reverse-inswinger in either the Jo'Burg oe Durban test to Kallis that was given not out.

Also on various occassions during the Ashes.

MS learn to win a toss when representing India Dammit -_-

 

[sohum]

Damn, so close to a Bhajji injury!

 

[Flame_Blader1]

I still can't believe they actually picked Mohali as a venue. They will never learn that Mohali should only be used for T20 or ODI cricket.

I'm just frustrated,lol.. obviously there is nothing to learn.

 

[pcfan123]

am I missing something here. What happened to Brad Haddin? is he done? I thought Paine was only for the neutral series against pak

 

[angryangy]

He's still coming back from injury

 

[pcfan123]

What a drop, now there probably won't be another chance for 30 overs

Mark added 0 Minutes and 37 Seconds later...

He's still coming back from injury

Ah right on, I was wondering if they dropped him. Would have been pretty harsh after he put in all those years behind Gilly.

 

[jkartik]

thanks to sehwag, it'll be 100/0 in no time. :doh

 

[Cricketman]

Man these venues don't deserve test cricket. Give it to Chennai, been deprived of test match cricket over the years. This is just a crappy atmosphere.

What about the Eden??

 

[aussie1st]

Good start to win the toss and even better with that let off.
