Border-Gavaskar Trophy | Season Review | Post #293

[Greninja]

1-0 lead by Australia... Come on India, make this equal in next test...

Yes it is very important for us

 

[Aislabie]

If @VC the slogger and @Samuels post their line-ups quickly enough, I might actually run the Boxing Day Test on Boxing Day

 

[Aggz]

I hope that innings mean that I'm still around for atleast one more test.

Jokes apart, we put up some real good stuff. Great going.

Ahhhh......Left out Again

 

[Samuels]

Ahhhh......Left out Again

Rosario did just about right to keep you out but on second thoughts I think we can play with two spinners at Melbourne. So, you are in. You will certainly be there playing in Sydney test since there will be help for the spinners.

 

[Samuels]

@The Author I have made some changes in the lineup.

[VC the slogger]

As good as Stuart's form may be, I still want to let our aggressive opening combo of Orton and Warner remain at the top for now. I could still give him the closest thing to the openers position at No 3 where all the batsmen we've tried have provided patchy returns. Agger can fall back to No 4, Clarke to his favorite No 5 and so on.

The only casualty is Lydiate whose horrendous shot in the previous game has earned him exile.

[Sulaiman7]

Agger's near to a ton now and I am sure if everyone contributes just like Orton then Australia will surely be having a positive point in clinching the victory. Both the Clarke's were playing good and were all settled but then happened what has happened to every batter. Having a score of 336 on the first day with a batter nearing ton isn't good, it's great.

 

[SixerBoy11]

Just 28

Well Played Orton & Agger

 

[VC the slogger]

336/4 is a pretty good score for the first day of a Test match. We'll be aiming for at least 500 on day 2.

Australia celebrating more of joy in this series so far... we need to bounce back...
