1st Test- Day 3 @ The Gabba- 1st November 2009

Australia lose the toss and India decides to bat

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Skrillex_x Hits Out for Australia, as they sit on 3-196 at Lunch

The Morning Session of Day 3 of the 1st Test between Australia and India at the Gabba has just ended- with Australia on an convincing position at 3-196. Gajan Thiyagarah and skrillex_x continued on their solid performance on the previous day, before Gajan T mis-hitted a ball from bladescape on 48, hitting it straight down the throat of Callum Gray, despite looking settled at the crease. He was just two runs short of his first Test half-century of the PC Border-Gavaskary Series, and will be determined to do better in the second innings.


Despite the little mishap, skrillex_x continued with his captain,Madhur in a carefree way, smacking ball after ball to the boundary, before getting out to a ball by Callum Gray, by going for a slog and hitting it straight to rahulkhush, who gallantly caught it. Skrillex made a gutsy and entertaining 82 runs off just 85 balls, smashing an incredible 15 boundaries on the way, well batted.


Soon after, the skipper Madhur fell to a wonder ball by Callum Gray, that pitched in line with leg stump and turning sharply back to off-stump, not many off-spin bowlers have great success with the 'doosra' but Callum Gray managed it and got the rewards. Madhur was out for a measly 20 off 30 balls, which meant that mattfb and WORLD_CHAMPIONS were in the crease. Callum Gray at this point was involved in every single dismissal, taking the catch for the first wicket of Gajan T, and getting the wickets of both skrillex_x and Madhur, what a session for him!


Getting mattfb, the vice-captain and Mr.Cricket, WORLD_CHAMPIONS were proving to be a very hard task for the Indian bowlers, and with solid defence and cunning attack, the batsmen survived the morning session, with the vice-captain scoring 27 not out off 49 balls and WORLD_CHAMPIONS on 16 off 32 balls. Australia are in a good position with 3-196.


The pick of the bowlers, or players in fact, was Callum Gray. He was involved with all the dismissals, and grabbed two wickets off his 11 overs at an economy rate of 3.91. Bladescape bowled well with 1-60 off his 14 overs, and RDF was a little expensive at the start but settled the ship without getting a breakthrough with 0-61 off his 14 overs. Mihir Doshi bowled 3 overs for 0-18, he`ll look to be a little more economical. Yudi bowled 2 overs to no success as 14 runs were tonked from him.


The Afternoon session will be one to watch- Will Australia manage an upset, or will this prove to be another Test match draw? We`ll have to wait and see.

Callum bowled pretty well for us.
And Good batting by Skrillex_x,but nice we got him as he was looking bloody threatening.

Oh btw guys, i changed the layout so it was easier to update, which means more frequent updates.

Oh and look at the scorecard closely, and look at the dismissals, with Callum`s name on it

 

[Prithvi]

Well, this is perfect.
And something like Cricinfo's web screen shot would have made it more interesting. (Just like how Hedger started his IPL diary)

 

[drainpipe32]
