Australian Tour of India, October 2010/11

[Brook]

Apparently India haven't taken the new ball?

Johnson's forehand strikes again

Overall, Paine hasn't scored quickly, but after 9 from 60 balls, he looked to score much more than most of the players before him. Punching the ball away through the covers and sweeping fine have worked well for him.

Now Paine uses the feet and goes downtown! That's the ticket.

Is it just me, or is Zaheer bowling like Akram?

 

[Varun]

Paine is still there at the crease.
I guess the bowlers should target the tailenders now.

Just you. You are bowling like Akram.

Hilfy still in form, finishes the session with a six. It was not really a good one for India, although they got the two wickets again, but they were mere tailenders who cost them almost 100 runs. Johnson showed them how hard they could be made to work for those wickets and Hilfenhaus, who worked on his batting while injured this year, may yet hold them to that. Paine continues to rattle along soundly and it seems the low bounce of the pitch does not test him as much as the wickets prepared for Sheffield Shield cricket.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

this is pretty poor by india, they've looked rather listless. This feels like a stalemate already, indian batting collapse could change that but australia are going to have to do an awful lot to prevent a draw.

 

[angryangy]

It's not atypical of Indian Tests to hinge on a sudden collapse.

Ah, the old, old, old ball has been replaced!

 

[Aussie Team]

Paine to get in and score a hundred, they really need to score fast now on.

 

[ferg512]

i like ishant sharma but wtf is up with these no balls he is going downhill fast which is sad

 

[ferg512]

doesnt really help him though when hes playing on these types of pitches all the time

 

[angryangy]

Wow. What a let off.

 

[Adarsh]

Now one goes waist height between slip and keeper. Dhoni should've pouched that. Went a foot to the right of him and waist height. This is terrible .

Dhoni is having a terrible time. 3rd dropped catch.

 

[AbhishekS]

Never knew Paine was so good!

 

[Adarsh]

Never knew Paine was so good!

Well he's got Dhoni on his side !
