Australian Tour of India, October 2010/11

[ZoraxDoom]

Ooof, VVS survives that edge, and India need 54 runs to win going into lunch. Aus need 2 wickets. VVS needs 2 runs for a fine fifty, Ishant needs 36 runs for his magical, match-winning fifty.

I'm glad I skipped the lecture now.

Win or lose, ban or no ban (:laugh), this is an awesome test match! Very gripping, very tense! Unfortunately not a very big crowd to watch most part of this match.

I can post now that lunch is on! YAAY!!!! All those who pounced on me, if India pull off a miracle here, you guys have HAD IT!!!!

Cricketman, you need 15 more runs.
Zorax, I doubt anyone is going to take those odds.
Sai, if we lose in the first over after lunch you will owe Cricketman $500K.

Ok thats a deal!

Did they actually run only 2 runs there?

sohum added 1 Minutes and 18 Seconds later...

54 to win after lunch. What a match.

I think it's safe to say that Test cricket is still well and truly alive. 5 days and the match could still go 3 ways.

3 ways??? you mean a tie as the 3rd?

3/1 then?

Give Clarke an over

 

[Cricketman]

His back hurts.

Yeah, a tie is definitely on. I personally wouldn't mind a tied test--would bring some excitement back to the game.

whats this affinity with the phrase ' ~~ having said that ~~ '
Venky, Shastri... the whole Neo Cricket team :doh

Also, the India-Australia encounter is truly back! Whats it with these India-Australia games that produces such tight contests in the past few years?

 

[aussie1st]

Deadset Hauritz is having a shocker, hes meant to be the consistent bowler not Krejza Mk2.

 

[sohum]

3/1 then?

I can't do it for any more than $500K. At that rate...

India lose by > 40 runs: I lose $0
India lose by < 40 runs: I lose $1m
India win: I win $1m

If you want it.... it's on.

... and some of the most dubious umpiring decisions.

Flame me if you want but I have to say this, what Sachin did was irresponsibility at it's best.
