18th Match: India V Australia: Mohali, India

[Amjid Javed]

That was a huge edge, how did the umpire miss that?

you missed it aswell!

 

[jackal786]

Turning point is Lee's 2 overs that gave just 1 run

 

[Amjid Javed]

The restart is in just 10 mins time!

 

[Amjid Javed]

If india can get gilly/pointing early its game very much on!

 

[jackal786]

India's only hope is their slow bowlers.

 

[UJ]

India need early wickets otherwise its not on unfortunately

 

[jackal786]

I think OZ will overhaul the total.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pathan ready to bowl to gilchrist.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Gilly off mark with single.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Huge appeal for LBW. Declined

[Amjid Javed]

Single for watson down to 3rd man.

 

[jackal786]

22 and 23 year olds are opening the bowling for India where as 29 and 36 year olds are opening for ozzies. what a contrast.

 

[Amjid Javed]

5 wides from munaf, zaheer khan disease!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good ball from munaf!

Gilly drives and misses!

 

[jackal786]

How come before ENgland no one has exploited this weakness of Gilly. Man he leaves a huge gap still.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Munafs line has been good.

 

[OZGOD]

Poor fielding from the Indians.

 

[Amjid Javed]

What poor fielding from india.

Aus 17/0

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 leg byes, munaf has lost his line tonite!

 

[jackal786]

I think with bucknor being hte umpire India's chance has gone even worse. I would give Oz 75% chance to win from here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

more poor fielding and 2 runs from watson past point.

I dont think I have ever witnessed an Indian stadium this quiet.. except maybe for the pak/ind test in 99 when they had to emtpy the ground for pakistan to win... goodluck aussies.. and Godspeed.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

gilchrist back with a bang

You clearly missed the four ODIs we won in India in 2005! The silence was so hilarious it had me in stitches almost every time!

The best one was the Kanpur Massacre when Afridi got 100 from 45 balls. Not just the silence but the faces in the crowd told a story that day!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

cant make out the players with this makeshift tv antenna

 

[Amjid Javed]

what a catch in gully!

Raina takes a blinder!

gilly gone!

sreesanth strikes.

Aus 61/1

 

[OZGOD]

Gilchrist is gone

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pointing new man in.

 

[OZGOD]

Ponting needs to pull out a big one here. He's been in abysmal form.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

sreesant does the trick for india

 

[OZGOD]

Ponting's always shaky when he starts.

That was a bit of a wild swing from Gilly.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

form is temporary class permanant

 

[Cartman]

They shouldnt have gotten Gilly out.. Ponting is going to murder them now... come on Punta.

 

[Amjid Javed]

3 runs for watson thru covers, nice shot.

[Rob H]

2001 Ashes series involving India. Fleming is losing it!

 

[Rob H]

Irfan Powar? What the hell is happening.

 

[Rob H]

fabulous cover drive for 4 by Ponting.

 

[Rob H]

4 more from a pull shoy through mid wicket. Great batting

 

[MIG]

Pontings over confidence will be his downfall - Harbhajan and Sehwag will cause a lot of damage today

 

[OZGOD]

OZ 1/78, current run rate 7.09. Can we keep it up though? Ponting needs to play himself in.

true )

 

[Rob H]

Watson is really looking good at the crease. 4 through mid wicket now

 

[OZGOD]

Hard to tell when the boundaries are as the crowd's bloody silent. Another boundary from Watson.

 

[OZGOD]

I missed Watson's injury - who's his runner?

 

[OZGOD]

Nevermind - they said it was Gilly.

 

[Rob H]

I missed Watson's injury - who's his runner?

It's Gilchrist. Runners can only be the people who are out. Gilchrist is the only one who is out so it's him.

 

[Hash]

what do they do if one of the openers needs a runner before a wicket has fallen?

Is it just tough luck?

 

[Rob H]

Indian fielding is woeful. They are too timid to dive along the floor. It's pathetic.

 

[Rob H]

what do they do if one of the openers needs a runner before a wicket has fallen?

Is it just tough luck?

Don't know to be honest.

 

[Rob H]

pull through mid wicket for 4. Australia cruising at 91/1 now

 

[infamous9383]

another pull shot for 4

 

[Rana]

Australia were really piling the runs at first

 

[Rob H]

shot from Watson. Straight drive for 4. Lovely batting

 

[Hash]

We are destroying them
