Australia's Tour Of India - 2008

[King Pietersen]

I've seen it all now! Never thought you would ever give our bowlers credit!

Anyway it's still frustrating watching Johnson and his scrambled seam. If he can get that sorted he will be a very lethal prospect at his pace.

Oh and Johnson gets his bunny

Just a shame that bunny averages 63 against him really.......

Wow, the Aussie fielding standard has also dropped. Not good signs.

Add to that Johnson is bowling well and Ponting has been a very proactive captain. The world is upside down. Its almost like divine intervention just for this milestone game.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Damnit !! just because of that Johnson Tendulkar got another 100 : totally screwed my day

 

[bladescape]

If that screwed your day,it must be a common occurance.(having your day screwed!)

 

[Mr.Cricket]

Damn same old story again. India win the toss , make a huge score and have us under pressure for the rest of the game. Hopefully we can get few early tomorrow and keep them under 400.

Very happy with Krejza though. yeah he got belted around a bit but he fought back well. 3 wickets in his first day (couldve been 4) is a pretty good effort. & Good on Ponting for giving him lot of overs.

Looking fwd to another 50 from Bajji tomorrow

I am looking forward to Ganguly's century.I hope his last match will be as good as his debut.BTW Ganguly made debut at lords but retires at Nagpur !

 

[karnog]

Ganguly looks really determined to bat as long as possible. He's not going to give an inch. Again i wish Katich bowled ten more overs.

Dravid is the one who should retire , not Ganguly. Ganguly is looking good again for another big score.

Yeah but Ganguly felt he gets kicked around a lot. He's been the Damian Martyn of indian cricket. I personally think he had to be dropped a few years ago but that a minority view in my bengali family...

Hey world champion you live in India. Are you Aussie? What's it like living as a foreigner. An English mate of mine lives in New Dehli and goes to the American school (JFK high or something like that)...

Dravid needs to be sent to domestic cricket. I think he has the mental strength to come back.

 

[icyman]

311/5,India in a very strong position.
After watching Krezja bowl,I felt that the Indians definately wanted to kick him out of the attack.They succeeded,but so did Krezja.

Australia could have used him better in this series.Had they started off with him in Bangalore,they would have had areal chance at winning the First Test.

Its BCCI = Maharashtrian Politics :

Yes and that explains why Ganguly's last will be played at Nagpur.
If Sachin were to retire,the venue would have been aptly changed to suit him-to retire in Mumbai :

Hey world champion you live in India. Are you Aussie? What's it like living as a foreigner. An English mate of mine lives in New Dehli and goes to the American school (JFK high or something like that)...

WC isn't a foreigner,he is an Indian who ardently supports the Kangaroos.

 

[Funknath]

Sachin will play till the age 0f 70. He will make 20,000 runs in test and will die there by a heart attack.Reason for the Heart attack he has scored 20,000

 

[King Pietersen]

So he's only going to make 8000 test runs in 25 years? His average is going to drop considerably. He's already made 12000+ in 19 years.
