Australia's Tour Of India - 2008

[SciD]

Sad to see Dada go. It was time for Dravid seriously.

 

[cricketfrantic]

For me too. We hardly had any fight this time around.

Very true

 

[aussie1st]

Lee bowled the opening spell at a reduced pace.

Once again our bowlers don't look threatening and our most threatening in Krejza is again going for runs. We seem to have lacked the aggression pretty much this whole test match apart from day 2 when we batted.

Anyway can't wait for us to get back home, back to our pitches and our ball

Well I think Ganguly is leaving asking fans to say 'Why' instead of 'why not'
True Champion:hpraise

Very good batting from Vijay. Boy, he definitely has a very good future. And sehwag as usual, rocks!!

Krejza again is going for more than 5.5 runs per over. And no wickets yet! India should always look to attack him. In the future if he becomes a big spinner (god forbids), he will always have the pressure of having to perform in a land where he is always slaughtered (like Shane Warne, who I agree is a genius spinner).

He has changed the "why not" question into a "why". Therein lies his talent! Before this series, people did ask "why not". But now they ask "why".

Give White a bowl. It's his last test. Why not.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Apart from india, which team took you so close in your 'home' series in recent times? we never said we are best yet, but we are close there.

Never, if your team follow this 3rd class standards. Whats the point of playing test match here if you have to made such a pitch which clearly favours the home sides and depends on toss fully :

Australia bowled poorly in the first session. Lets see if we can't get a few wickets here.

C'mon Aussies.

Sorry mate but every team prepares pitches that suits them be it India, Australia, southafrica, newzealand, england, srilanka. There is no point arguing that.

India too have played matches on pitches like perth the fastest pitch in the world, Durban in south africa, headinglay in england, barbados in westindies not to talk of every newzealand pitch.

 

[Yogy]

Yes. Each team prepares pitches that suit their gameplay. There is no way any one can say that the pitches are bad.

 

[punterpupnroy]

Far out, the Indian openers are dominating., There run rate is about 4 an over. Doesn't Sehwag deserve his ton. As much as i hate to say it.

No one prepares fully one sided pitch like India does

He will get, if Krejza continue this


Watson strikes, Vijay gone

But Australia are the world champions. They are the #1 team in the world. As the #1 team in the world you have to be able to win on any pitch in the world to justify that position. They did it in 2004, why are you complaining now? The fact is that your team isn't in great shape and you need a scapegoat and blaming the pitch is the easiest thing to do.

I PRAY TO GOD DRAVID GETS SOME RUNS HERE. PLEASE! I'm so nervous each time he faces a ball now.

 

[cricketfrantic]

Sehwag for century, really deserves the landmark:upray

After the so called boring day its entertainment time from India again

Well Watson is on. He has been best Aussie bowler this series.
