India tour of Australia

[-$ohail-]

Onting shud have been ot for 5 or 6 runs
Another stupid decision and again by one of the best umpires
I wonder when the jinx of getting poor decisions will end for india in AUS . It started in 1999 and still goes on
And decision have been made by all the elite umpires
Darryl Harper - SAchin (SBW) Shoulder BW
Bucknor- Decent decision in ist test but was not out
Sheperd - Ponting plumb in front but he did not see it

I remember sidhu`s words
The umpire in this mood wud not find his buttocks with his 2 hands

It was true in this case .
Today`s decision would have put india ina lot better position on that
batting beauty at adelaide .
I think even INDIA can score runs on that track
Hope for the best

India will definately will do a good batting and sehwag really needs to get back in his game and play sensibly

Once again Australia come back to dominate a Test match. There was a suggestion from someone earlier in the week thart Steve Waugh looked worried and that India would be taking the initiative from then on. Sorry to say Indian supporters, but it looks like you've jumped the gun again. More often than not you get carried away with sound Indian performances, even though the last Test was just drawn. India are on the back foot in this Test, and once again there are suggestions that the umpire is against them, the conditions weren't right, they didn't get the rub of the green and everything in between. I'm supporting India in this particular series, because I too like to see the Aussies get beaten (they are the benchmark after all). But I do still find it amusing that hardly any Indian supporters are grounded enough to say it like it is; that Indian are occasionally very good, more often than not quite ordinary even though they have the talent, and just don't look interested once a test match swings away from them.

400 in one day for Australia. Definately not looking good for India. Their batsmen will have to work really hard out there.

Well, if Ponting was not out LBW for you, then sorry pal, you do not know even the basics of umpiring.

If the umipres are not against us, then why is it that we always find ourselves at the receiving end?

ponting is reaching his double century. Gihlchrist fell early in the second day.

Edited to correct update format

I think India are a good batting side,especially at home but i don`t think they can compete in any department with australia.( I would LOVE to see the aussies lose as well....tired of ashes hammerings!!)

As regards umpiring I don`t think any India supporters can complain...Every international team has its fair share of good and bad decisions... The indian bowlers are not good enough ( compare their figures for home and away)

 

[601731]

lets not forget india is without zaheer and harbhajan in this test.
sadly harbhajan is out for the whole series.

 

[chiraz]

True...but even they struggle to get wickets consistantly away from home
