If India win today, Lanka will be out!

Today: Sunny. High 77F. W winds shifting to SSE at 10 to 15 mph.
Tonight: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 62F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph.

Aus won the toss and will bat first. Johnson rested and Lee is back
Sehwag and Sreesanth back for India
 
Gilli with 2 fours off Sreesanth
and gets out ct behind next ball. inside edge and very good catch by Dhoni
Aus 21-1 after 2.3
 
Hayden with a four at long off and then pulls next ball for a six off Sharma
Aus 35-1 after 3.2
 
cricinfo

3.2 I Sharma to Hayden, SIX, short ball on middle and off, moving away, Hayden simply shoulders the ball all the way over midwicket, and that's rocketed flat

"Meanwhile", notes Nagraj, "one of the journos in the pressbox quips at Yuvi's misfield 'his pockets are too full of money that he can't dive'."
 
damn it, i wanted to go to this match badly. it wasnt sold out a few days ago but we couldnt get 8 seats in a row!


anyways, australia off to a flyer. anyways, australia are off to a flyer, we need punter back in form for pak series.
 
Now Ponting getting stuck into Ishant - does this mean he's figured him out? shucks
 
a chakkka by Ponting off Pathan
Aus 77-1 after 8.1 overs

Ch 9 commentators making something of Dhoni's gloves - the webbing is allegedly illegal and he used the webbing to catch Gilchrist. Hmmm.....

Cue Indian silence...
 
Deafening silence from the Indian crew......

Just wait for a decision to go against India though :)
 
This is an aspect of the Indian team's makeup that I really like. In these games where the slow bowlers are WAY more effective, he has several compotent part time spin bowlers to turn to.

Don't think there was much in it - he'll probably get fined but has been hit out the park all day today and probably was a bit frustrated.

In his first 5 overs, he gave away 37 runs. In his next 5, he gave away 28.

Interesting term "hit out of park all day". I am enjoying the Aussie insecurity manifesting in this kind of posts :).
 
So Ponting gets back in form just in time for the PAK series :13: . After being in the news for the last few days it was good to see Symo and Ponting share a good partnership and have a bit fun in the middle. Now its over to gambhir and Sharma to produce a similar sort of partnership and lead IND to a win.

The recent increase in their bank accounts seems to have something to do with it ..

I really think that Ponting and co. had their minds on all that IPL loot and it was really distracting them.

Now that it's done and dusted with they will get focused on cricket again.

As promised, my friend sachin out on 2 on a beauty of a pitch chasing under pressure. call it his destiny or bad luck, he is the biggest choker there is. now i will next predict for you when he will perform. that will be when its bright sunshine since he is a good weather batsman.

lee bowling too much short stuff and getting punished by sehwag..
 
cricinfo at its usual best....

Lee to Gambhir, 2 runs, majestic pull from Gambhir, he's pulled that out of nowhere, short and speedy ball from Lee and that's been crunched with immense power in front of square for a four, what a cracker!

hmmmm, so which was it?

So he went for more than 6 an over. You know I was actually defending Sharma but since you want to play that game....

He clearly swore at the Australian batsman at least twice (visible on TV and not in Hindu like Harby :)) ) and pointed to the dressing room while abusing a batsman he just got out.

Should be banned for the rest of the series for that bullying behaviour, what happened to the "spirit of the game"?

Since McGrath has been declared uncouth and a bully for abusing the batsman I declare Sharma uncouth as well :9:
 
Random Aussie said:
Yes think he used it a little while walking from the pitch :D
Click to expand...

yeah saw that. He handed it right back to Sharma.

Sharma is a promising bowler but he needs to learn that when you have been clobbered for more than 6 an over and the other team has scored 300+, it's not really the time or place to give send offs!

ok, I concede because you said it first, though I still see no evidence to support your point. He has been failing throughout the series and juust continued the trend. He did not show any signs of pressure, did not waft outside his stumps or anything unusual. He missed a straight ball and this is the third time this series he has done that. Nothing unusual, just out of form needing that one innings like Ponting.

The problem with preconcieved notions are that you bend the fact to fit the theory than the other way around. Anyway looks like you enjoy being proved right than an indian victory so enjoy.
 
Yuvraj gone now

51 for 4

humiliating defeat for India

Of course you dont because it allows you to twist things to your agenda. Sanga and Jaya didnt choke when the team needed them but Sachin did in a menaingless match. i see where you are coming from

I hope you appreciate my courage in betting against the best batsman in the world on best of pitches. A real good batsman cant be predictable.

Now, I will do that again in this series and you will see. the prediction will be done before he steps on to bat!

Exposes the said posters double standards considering one player and one player only. Showing a hidden agenda, maybe regionalism?

Or jumping to conclusions like the said poster. Also exposing his double standards when the same set of guidelines cant apply to other players because they are of a different country and hence untouchvble
