Indian batsmen need to play out first few hours. It should be easy sailings from there. I won't be surprised if India piles up a big first inning total. There does not seem to be much swing off the pitch or the air. Should be a long day for Australian bowlers.

[battler]

Walking wicket goes!

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[imranraf]

Sehwag is out to a good delivery from Siddle.

 

[Convict]

Sidds!

 

[Justcrazy]

India trail by 216 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

[imranraf]

Australian bowlers are trying hard. Pitch is not going to offer much to them. Indian batsmen just need to be patient and play out the first hour. Ball will get old, bowlers will get tired. Easy sailings from there onwards.

 

[eradicator]

Sehwag gone.

 

[Hitman]

Sehwag used to average 54 at one point, now it's below 50 ...... steep decline.

 

[MRSN]

Sehwag should retire..at least from tests..

 

[Justcrazy]

India trail by 209 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

India trail by 209 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Ruri]

The best part of this is that the utterly woeful Sehwag is still useless, even at home. Now at an average of 49.34, rather hopeful that the silly discussions about him just two or three years ago about being a great opener will be put to rest.

 

[Justcrazy]

31 . 1

 

[mosh101]

Sehwag is turning into indias afridi ! Fans are frustrated with him, captain backs him up only to underperform and he's not ready to leave the team !

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies do not have the bowling to bother Indians here

 

[Hitman]

Play some shots guys, hate this tuk-tuk approach.

 

[Irshadbhat]

Cant belive Henriques has choosen Cricket over Football

 

[Justcrazy]

34 / 1

 

[Hitman]

M. Vijay - 19* (73)
Pujara - 6* (27)


BORING!!

 

[Itachi]

Vijay is so boring to watch....

 

[Convict]

Cant belive Henriques has choosen Cricket over Football

New South Welshmen play rugby.

Football is only in the southern states.

 

[Hitman]

Vijay is so boring to watch....

I don't understand his approach, what's to be achieved by this defensive mindset? We are not trying to save this Test here, are we?

 

[Scrolln]

Vijay is doing an Azhar Ali here.

 

[Hitman]

Pathetic to watch! Both of 'em, Vijay and Pujara ......

 

[Hitman]

SR of both the players right now -

Vijay - 25.67

Pujara - 21.21

 

[Itachi]

I don't understand his approach, what's to be achieved by this defensive mindset? We are not trying to save this Test here, are we?

he's playing for the spot. Can't afford another failure.

 

[Hitman]

From Cricinfo -

India crawling this morning, 29 scored off 16 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

India likely to take a solid lead again.

 

[Hitman]

he's playing for the spot. Can't afford another failure.

Needs to be slapped on the face.

 

[Hitman]

F off Vijay, needs to be dismissed. Would be a welcome change to watch Sachin bat instead of this no-motive tortoise.

 

[Itachi]

Needs to be slapped on the face.

lol. Can't blame him. Rahane, dhawan is itching. If he can't perform, you won't see his face for a long time in team india.

 

[Itachi]

1 run to vijay! Yay! Milestone reached!

 

[Hitman]

India RR 1.66

RR in last 10 overs - 0.90

Both these 2 have really started to get to my nerves.

 

[Fire Bird]

Yawn.... boring.Watching Glaciers melt must be more entertaining than watching these two bat. would be proud of this effort

 

[Fire Bird]

LOL Pujara playing forward defence to a half volley

 

[Hitman]

HaHaHa ..... probably gone!!

 

[Hitman]

Not Out!!

 

[IndianWillow]

Is it Vijay or Misbah, batting for India? I think this approach is ok as long as they guard their wickets, with aggressive players yet to come. Post lunch India should look to score more.

 

[battler]

misbah would be proud of vijay and pujara

 

[Fire Bird]

I dont understand why some in the crowd cheering for a wicket.

Commentary Fail from Hayden. "Pujara struggling here" then replays show he has made it easily.

 

[Hitman]

If I were the captain, I would have promoted Vijay to no. 11 in the next innings. Look at his bloody approach, not even the slightest of effort to play any shots.

 

[Hitman]

Finally a boundary.

 

[Fire Bird]

finally. Vijay the legend

 

[Justcrazy]

These two will bat out the day

 

[Scrolln]

This is so boring, i'm actually watching India-Sri Lanka ODI highlights at Ten Cricket for the last half hour.

 

[TM Riddle]

This is so boring, i'm actually watching India-Sri Lanka ODI highlights at Ten Cricket for the last half hour.

lol me too..attapattu made 50 and chaminda vaas just got out of srinath

 

[Fire Bird]

Doherty v Vijay = v VVS 2.0?

 

[young guns]

boring session,,,,,,,,painful to watch also

 

[Irshadbhat]

Need some Wickets come on Patto

 

[velu]

more and more :4s

 

[IndianWillow]

37 from the last 10.

 

[Scrolln]

hahahaaha! Vijay is suddenly playing like a dream! What a shot!

 

[Ambi]

more and more :4s

sehwag's poor form was all bcoz of his eyesight.. now he started wearing glasses :vettori

will be back to form in no time

,Please take your aunty to another optician )

 

[avidlearner]

Vijay with a slowly build-up 50 and Pujara seems to have settled as well.

But gotta score bit quickly from now on (at least 4 RPO)

 

[Irshadbhat]

So 2-0 looks on the cards unless Patto can produce a legendary Spell here

 

[Fateh]

106/1 & 49 overs left on day 2 . If we score around 375 by midday tomorrow, we should win this 1 on day 4 . Does anybody think this match will be go on to day 5 ?

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia will loose more games , they will loose ashes 5 - 0

 

[Justcrazy]

Doherty is a short format bowler , no use here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies have wasted away two toss wins , pathetic. Poms would have won both games.

I do think this match will progress till 5th day. Pitch here is not as helpful to the spinners as it was in Chennai. Despite all the bashings that it is getting from its fans, Oz batting line up is still a decent one to negate our Okish bowling attack on a not so tough pitch. I would be really surprised if they falter cheaply once again. So expecting a tough fight from them.

 

[Justcrazy]

111 / 1

 

[Justcrazy]

There is no way Aussies can take 20 wickets here.

 

[velu]

,Please take your aunty to another optician )

he will not be dropped :kmai

just deal with it

 

[Saurav]

Pujara giving it his all despite struggling with knee

 

[Justcrazy]

116 / 1

 

[Saurav]

he will not be dropped :kmai

just deal with it

he'll be after this match if doesnt score next innings

Gavaskar said it,he knows it.also predicted Ojha's drop

 

[Saurav]

50 for Pujara

 

[Fateh]

50 for CP

 

[avidlearner]

Well made 50 from pujara

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

India on top here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pujara is Dravid in the making.

 

[Hitman]

What a boring day of cricket so far. Almost like watching 2 Dravids at the crease.

 

[IndianWillow]

They should get about 230-240 today. Not bad if they can retain wickets for an assault tommorrow.

 

[Leeon1994]

Lame bowling from Australian spinners, Almost every ball is full
