India's tour of Australia - December/January 2015

[shravi]

setting aside the dhoni debate in this thread for a bit, let's all just take a minute to marvel at the fact that India bowled 90 overs yesterday.

The short pitch stuff is really dumb and annoying !

Its just helped Haddin get comfortable

Yeah honestly, enough of this short ball stuff. Shami and Ishant don't have the pace to consistently do it so they shouldn't do it. Umesh has more pace than both of them so he can do it, but just seriously stick with line and length. They're letting the game drift again just like the last two games. This is ridiculous.

Yep. Haddin suddenly seems like he has found this touch and is up for a counterattack

500 on the cards for Australia once again

I don't understand why we can't push for the advantage. This is now the third game where we could have pushed for an advantage and we just can't do it. Please stick to line and length and just pitch the freaking ball up. They keep consistently bowling short of a length, why don't they pitch it up. Bhuvi is our only bowler who consistently pitches it up and that's exactly why he is successful. Bhuvi never does this short stuff, he's a line and length guy. This is ridiculous, pitch the ball, what don't they understand about this. What is Ravi Shastri and Duncan Fletcher doing inside the dressing room?

both the commentators and Australia are ripping India apart

Indeed. Third game of this series we have failed to take advantage of a good position.

I don't want to start a thing again, but Dhoni was pretty bad this morning. Somehow everyone except MSD can figure out that we are better off not bowling a barrage of shorts balls and bouncers. All wickets we have had off pacers are caught behind. Should replace Fletcher with a statistician who can provide these obvious stats to MSD

Impressive performance from Ashwin.He is keeping it tight and is getting wickets as well.

This is a Real Good Spell from Ashwin but We indeed need a Captain like Steven Smith. Hats Off to the Guy & the way He Raised this Australian Innings. Gem of an Innings!
