India in Australia

[Energizer]

Well maybe you should take those opinions to those places where those debates are occurring, isn't it? I mean, if I started debating about my opinions on flying fish at PC, I'm hardly going to be debating it in the correct place.

Just expressing my disappointment of how it has been handled overall. And I do happen to be in the India in Australia thread?, I can express that here if I wish. Your comment doesn't make allot of sense champ.

I haven't even presented my opinions about that issue in this discussion because I've already presented my opinions over and over again all over PC.

You have presented your opinions all over your personal computer??? Is that vandalism? Lol :onpc

Your original post was basically about why the so-called pact was not broken, not about the implications of the pact and it being broken.

No, I was implying people shouldn't complain about ricky breaking their handling of things on the field pact if they are going to break the walk if the fielder says your out pact.

Next thing we know, you'll be saying it was completely fair and square as well. :

No, not fair and square at all. I know bad umpiring when i see it. When there's lots of mistakes made by the umpire one of the teams will unfortunately fair worse than the other. Thats the way the cookie crumbles. And where there's cookies, you usually find milk. But you know the saying, don't cry over spilt milk. :crying But at the end of the day, the best team won the game.

Move along please guys, it's bad enough that people are discussing it, but discussing over whether to discuss it? Please, talk about the cricket.

I almost forgot about Johnson, he probably doesn't deserve his spot either. It amazes me that Stuart Clark isn't opening the bowling with Lee, he's the new McGrath in terms of the guy who holds up one end while Lee lets loose.

I reckon that Tait should definitely come in for Hogg, I suppose Johnson can have a chance at the pacemen's pitch at the WACA.

Tait all the way. Cool avitar aus5892. did you make that yourself?

I suppose if Hayden isn't fit for the Perth test, Hussey could open with Jaques and a player such as Haddin or Voges could come into the middle order.

They've "said" that they will most likely stay with the same 12. So that means Hayden will be fit enough to play.

Too much belief in Johnson. I hope they really do consider Tait for anyone. Has really improved since the Ashes.

I reckon Clarke caught it anyway. His fingers were under the ball. You just don't catch a cricket ball and throw it straight up in the air immediately without thinking you've caught the ball cleanly. The same with Gilchrist, there was no hestitation in celebrating/appealing when Dravid was dismissed. He obviously thought Dravid was out at the time.

Still dunno why they could've used the 3rd umpire to ajudge the unsure catches though.

Im not 100% certain bout that. Gilly may have shown a white lie to the umpire but then again he may have thought the ball hit the glove coz the ball was a bit close to the glove.

I'm staying away from the potential scuffle for now.
Anyway, Pankaj & VRV Singh did'nt manage to pick a wicket while Ishant bag three in the match between ACT XI and India. Here's the scorecard:

What the hell is India still doing in Australia, the Second test was a disgrace.
Indians should just pick up and leave.

Ponting's a loser. He has accepted that he can't play Harbhajan so he is trying to get rid of him.

No, I only saw highlights, which channel is broadcasting it.

Lol, lmao.

Well hopefully India is still here because they want to play the game. You dont just lie down because something doesn't go your way. The best thing for Indian cricket would be for them to give it to us Aussies and win the Perth test match. Going home would solve nothing. It would only further harm the game.

nah most of us aussies have them. Go on the aussie avatars thread and pick up the scraps.

I could travel to Heaven and back before Adam Gilchrist would deliberately lie. Calls can be close, spur of the moment thing. Usually you hear a small click while the ball just passes the bat, you assume it's been edged. Lots of things can go through your head without noticing but I very much doubt he would lie, especially when we've seen him walk for embarrassingly low scores.

well i have now changed my mind. Gilly usually is honest and only appeals when he swears its nicked. Gilly has once not appealed a nick.

Back on topic or posts will be deleted.

When does the next test start? 13th?

Did anybody watch the match? How pankaj bowled?

Watched some of the part for about hour or so. Did not see Pankaj bowl but VRV was big disappointment with no pace and bowling no balls (11 of them). RP Singh was best of lot by far using his mind by bowling intelligently. Ishant bowled like he does always. Irfan was looking rusty with bowling bowls too much outside off stump. What was funny was that with no specialist slip fielder RP Singh was standing at first slip.
