Australia's Tour Of India - 2008

[SaiSrini]

It was good to have Ponting and Hussey back in the pavilion. Sehwag's good showing makes me really happy (I have him in my team in Fantasy cricket!).

If we can pick up the remaining wickets before Australia get the lead down to 200, we would still be there to try and win this match. We would definitely bat again, and Sehwag-Gambhir should make full use of Australia's low spin bowling stocks and should try to score as much runs as possible against the fast bowlers. If we can score 150 odd runs in 25 overs and look to give them a target 350+ with a few hours and the final day to go, we would be good to try and win the match/series.

The wicket is turning quite a lot now. I predict it would be even bigger for the final day.

I hear Kumble will be back tomorrow. WTH???? Oh god! Please Kumble out for the remaining part of the match:upray

On Gambhir, I think its best to move on. He has a 100 and a 200 in consecutive innings. Even if he serves the ban, he will just walk into the side based on his exploits in this series. If Watson or someone tries to provoke you, I would just say "Your hold on the BG trophy is in danger.... Concentrate on it first...."

What ....... no respect for Jumbo. He has served India for ages, i agree he is now old but that doesnt mean he can't serve now

So what do i do if your are English? i didn't said to any particular person here i said what's happening .. What i said is right and truth...

why don't you shut up

I really don't understand why you have started posting like this??? You are just highlighting to everyone why you 07 Download Makers aren't welcome in Cricket Chat. I'm sure people are getting fed up of reading such bias, rubbish. Also your posts contain such bad English and grammar, I struggle to understand what you are trying to say

Grow up and start posting constructively or go away!

On topic: I must say with the Australian top order gone, I do fear for them. I just don't trust the lower order to perform. Still, I think a draw is possible,

There it is you punish one with only 10% match fee and the other one with a test ban. the person who provoked him with sledging is set free so lightly :

BCCI has done the right appealing against ..

BCCI = Crybabies :crying

I'd like to see you even talking in a bit of Hindi or Marathi, Never mind a whole paragraph.

English obviously isn't Chetan's first language (It isn't for me eithier), Therefore it makes him a gutsy member. How would you like it isf someone said that to you if you were talking in a different language?

Use brain before mouth and no need to be so offensive.

Australians are Sledging one by one and are trying to irritate the top form batsmen
Pathetic Sledging for win... : Gambhir did right he came in his way i will do the same what he did was right ..Shane came and shake hands with Gauti Like a innocent a kid!!:

they can't take the beat form Indians And that;s it!!

If Aussies get all out till Lunch i hope there's a result of this match

What you think ? Why are we in the crease for :

 

[Leggie]

BCCI = Crybabies :crying

Shane Watson = So crap he has to provoke players to get them out....eventually...when they've made about 200 or so.

 

[Will_NA]

I happen to speak perfect Hindi.

 

[Harrypotter_fan]

How about some sentences in Hindi? (No offence, just for fun).

On Topic: How much turn is the pitch offering? I can't watch the match on TV (thanks NEO .

Tom, English is not our mother tounge or nations language. Who cares grammar in an online forum ?? but still we are capable of speaking it and make other people understand . If we can make people understand what are we trying to ...... thats enough. Language is for communication


Regarding Top order, Yes !! now mid orders have to step up and show their character. Pup is the key here along with Watto, Haddin and white. Our tailenders can also add some runs, Lee, Johny and Stuey all of them can hit hard. Still loosing Huss just before the end of day, was really a drawback for us rather than today was fully ours.

Ah, sprained my wrist, I'll have to type it out later.

Provoke is not illegal in the books. Sometimes the result comes good and sometimes bad.

Well lets just say the ball that got Ponting pitched on a good lentgh about a foot outside off stump and spun in to hit middle and off. The ball that got Hussey out spun from middle to the top of off stump -- Sehwag was bowling around the wicket to Hussey and over to Ponting.

So looks like India didn't bowl very well then. Only 4 wickets with that much turn.

We bowled pretty tightly throughout the day, However credit to the Australian top order for showing so much grit and determination, If it was the Aussie batting line that batted in Mohali then we probably would have had them all out by now. Also the ball only started reversing and turning so much near towards the final third of the day...And to get Ponting and Hussey out in that perios, was quite an achievement. It took 2 brilliant balls from Viru to dismiss them...
