Australia's Tour Of India - 2008

[SaiSrini]

Ishant and Harbhajan at Ponting now!!!! Having two bowlers who have some kind of wood over one of the world's best batsman is always great

Entertaining!! This guy M. Vijay is a very good fielder, it seems! He is fielding very well and doesnt mind diving on these indian grounds

Agree on Vijay is that India's first run out this series? Certainly don't remember many direct hits like that from them. Interesting Border the worst when it comes to run outs with Hayden not far behind him.

Oh man just woke up. All I gotta say is congrats to Krejza on the 8-fer. I felt bad for the guy in the practice match but it looks like he's definitely improved and came back strong, and that's admirable.

I wonder how Mishra and Bhaji will do here. I think Sehwag can be a handful here too.

 

[zub2005]

what a collapse by india. credit to jason krezja. got smashed for runs but 8 wickets is v god going. big wicket for india of hayden. if india can get 2 or 3 more, india should be happy. this could be a real tense match.

 

[aussie1st]

Just checked cricinfo, Krejza is the 4th Aussie to get an 8 fer on debut, he is the 8th person to do it for all countries.

And another bad fact for our bowlers, our leading wicket taker is averaging 38 for the series. A really bad day when you have to accept bowlers with that sort of average. Krejza has given some respectability being the best bowler in this series based on averages at 26.

I've also got a feeling that Krejza has taken the most wickets for Australia in the whole series. Or has Mitchell Johnson overtaken him?

 

[aussie1st]

Nah Johnson has 13 hes the one I was talking about in averaging 38. If Krejza was given 2 more tests he could have been the leading wicket taker for us.

Almost three 4s in a row for Punter against Sharma. Hes starting to take away his bunny status from his bunny hunters.

LOL! Look at the indian fielders when ponting's batting against harbhajan:

Ek saal mei seekh jaiyega (to ponting)

Knight riders keliye khelega tho seekh jayega!

:laugh

They're just doing what ponting did to gambhir in bengaluru. LOL! I'm still LOLing, lot of comedy around the stadium..

 

[sohum]

Here, bunny, bunny, bunny...

 

[aussie1st]

Harby doing a Krejza now Poor shot from Ponting way too close to cut. And my bad gotta stop jinxing players! Harby going to get a 9 fer

Big deal. Sharma's easily been the best bowler in the series, but it's not exactly obvious on paper. The series has detracted from all the bowlers.

 

[KBC]

He's did it! Harbhajan'S did it! Got ponting out for the 10th time Claiming his 300th wicket!!!!

LOADS OF MILESTONES AND RECORDS IN THIS SERIES!

Woah! he lived up to what people expected, 3OOth wicket of ponting! YEAH!

 

[sohum]

Ponting must feel like a silly goose right now. if Krejza had cleaned up our tail in Mohali as easily as he did it today, this series could have been very different. This series has really shown the qualities of a captain that Ponting lacks.

Australia in a hole here. They need Hussey and Clarke to fire, as well as the yet dubiously selected Cameron White. They need to get at least 400-500 on the board and then bowl the Indians out under 200 to have a shot. It's a big climb. We should keep nailing the coffin, though.

 

[deerkick]

I thought they were talking about Ponting learning Hindi from Knight Riders lol...I guess not!

 

[aussie1st]

Good thing Dhoni hasn't thought about bowling Sehwag. We could be in more trouble if hes given the ball given how offies are going so far.
