India in Australia

[mattfb]

Big wicket. Well done Kumble on 600 test wickets.

 

[Gilly Fan]

A remarkable effort from Kumble. 600 wickets. Absolutely superb bowler.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

NOOOOOOO !! Roy gone COngrats Jumbo for 600 wickets

 

[Ponting_14]

Just bat out the day and I'll be happy.

 

[SaiSrini]

Sachin should be thanking Dravid for taking that catch and not letting Symonds go big.

Though happy with that wicket, still not happy that Gilchrist is still in there. 4 more wickets for India essential now. We need a lead of 100+

Tail needs to give support Gilly, as long Lee is there i have not much tension

Damn. This game is gonna be a draw now.

Chris Rogers man, unlucky and bad to go into a test against India with two inexperienced openers. We really should have pushed Hussey up and put his brother in the middle order.

Just got home an saw symonds batting an was about to say i reckon he will be out in an over or 2 coz hes not playing his shots an was playing defensively using little cute shots instead of hitting it.

But he got out just as i was about to say it.

Hadnt seen how he got to the 60+ but i doubt it was from those cute little shots and soft pushes for 1s an 2s.

Exactly. Rogers isn't in great form lately anyway.

Finally another wicket for India now they should quickly get those 4 wickets and keep the 1st innings lead over 100 runs.

Before Tea he was smacking them with a strike rate above 100 and the last 10 overs had got 0/72. So he was playing his shots.

Its just the 2nd day of the test match.

Man... I almost thought Raufy would get that one wrong, with regards to the Symonds wicket. A deadish period now. Lee could get frustrating though Pathan seems to be roughing him up a bit.

 

[angryangy]

Raufy gets one right!

For most of his contentious decisions, it seems the height of the bounce has been misjudged, the exception perhaps being the Rogers wicket, where a slower pitch would probably have seen the ball swing more into the stump. Would you say that conditions should play a part in umpire selection? Should Rauf be involved in some sort of warm-up match to adjust to local conditions?

 

[Sman-21]

ah ok yep didnt think it was possible for him to last long playing that way.
must have came out after tea looking to play it safe for a while before playing shots again.


grrrrr he should know by now he cant play that way an will always get out.
He needs to play shots at all times no matter what the situation.
