Australia v India | 3rd Test | Perth | Jan 13-17, 2012

[JibranAnsari]

Good bowling today from the Indians and especially Yadav. Indian batsmen now need to help their bowlers by scoring 400. No excuses!

 

[Fire Bird]

India will have to score at least 500 to Win or Draw.
Not gonna happen.

The real question is can India extend the game to day 3 and make Australia bat again

I think a draw is out of the question. And it's Aussies match to lose based on 1st innings.

 

[AZ]

Aus last all 10 wickets for 155 thats a poor effort after being 214/0

poor stuff, heads were not in the game, very complacent.

 

[velu]

wait, what?

TV ads and sponsors

 

[TV Umpire]

Hard to believe its only been 2 days in this match so far

 

[Sandeep]

yes surely a disaster for Australian cricket that they have invited 11 toothless Indians to this tour! They could have played couple more matches with New Zealand !

 

[TV Umpire]

TV ads and sponsors

haha.

True. But that would certainly be a new low for India.

 

[velu]

Ravi sort of accepting that we shld get elephants out of the team

 

[jattafridi]

Sehwag gonna score quick fifty today and century tomorrow

 

[doctordamor]

india very much in game plenty of time left some sensible batting, some sun tom and its game on. If we going by 1st inning performance, than aus chasing 200+ are not sure to win the game either man

 

[reversesweep]

Sehwag pair, anyone???

 

[velu]

:4 sehwag

 

[AZ]

Sehwag as irresponsible as always.

 

[Justcrazy]

India need at least couple of 100 partnerships here

 

[Justcrazy]

If India get to 400 , Aussies would be under pressure, not easy to bat last here.

 

[Justcrazy]

I think what India need positive intent, not miss out on scoring opportunities.

 

[style_guru]

How many more minutes before we hear the Sehwag death rattle?

 

[Justcrazy]

Bad News : India trail by 192 runs.

Good News : India have all 10 wickets in hand

 

[Justcrazy]

30 overs remaining today..... India should aim for at least 100 by stumps here.

Australia would be looking at 2 - 3 wickets

 

[velu]

20/0 .. trail by 188

 

[Justcrazy]

GG 14 not out.

 

[IndianWillow]

400-500 by India would make for a good contest. They can do it, but they have been drubbed so hard recently that they need to raise their mind several notches to do this. Sehwag should curb his instincts and play out safely today.

 

[jattafridi]

Australia need early wickets

The part in bold, can never happen.

 

[Justcrazy]

22 / 0

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

yadav got his 5fer wow. India have made a slight comeback.

 

[IndianWillow]

Sehwag 8 off 21, does not happen often, does it?

 

[Justcrazy]

No wickets yet.

 

[Fawad2010]

No wickets in 10 overs of Indian innings?

what a snooze-fest

 

[velu]

 

[Justcrazy]

India trail by 184 runs with 10 wickets remaining

 

[ads101]

Gambhir and Starc is the man to do it

 

[velu]

typical tail ender dismissal :gg

 

[Bhaijaan]

Gambhir

 

[Down2Earth]

ghambir the ftb just got owned. go back and play knee high tamasha cricket

 

[style_guru]

Here comes the slide...

Will RD last for 10 balls?

 

[Arcturus]

and the slide starts...

 

[ads101]

No wickets in 10 overs of Indian innings?

what a snooze-fest

in case you were getting bored, they came through for you

)

 

[jattafridi]

excellent bowling from youngster

 

[Random Aussie]

That was a brilliant delivery from Starc, thats the potential he has.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

 

[ads101]

While gambhir isn't making big scores out there part from that 80 or so, in both of these innings (as well as the last test innings where he made a 83), there are signs his form is coming back.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Dravid ( wall ) walks in with 13215 runs ........

 

[ads101]

Maybe Wasim really has helped starc, looks a much improved bowler than what he was a little while ago.

 

[style_guru]

Maybe Wasim really has helped starc, looks a much improved bowler than what he was a little while ago.

Wasim or any great bowler can only help someone who wants to help himself.

Wasim has been trying to help Teeli and Ashok danda in IPL. We have seen the results

 

[ads101]

Think Sehwag might have been shocked enough to try and grit it out this time and really put a price on his wicket rather than needlessly going for it with his hit and miss attitude. It's an ok strategy on wickets you're familiar on and when you're in good form, otherwise it isn't.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sehwag has survived so far, no rash shots.

 

[Justcrazy]

These two should look to play till stumps, India just cannot afford another wicket here.

 

[Down2Earth]

shewag gone too. what losers.

 

[Random Aussie]

The great Peter Siddle gets Sehwag!!

 

[Fawad2010]

in case you were getting bored, they came through for you

)

i was expecting Sehwag to leave before Gambhir, but both are happily back at the hut.

 

[Asif321]

story continuesss beauty siddle

 

[Arcturus]

I see another innings defeat looming...

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Random Aussie]

Maybe Wasim really has helped starc, looks a much improved bowler than what he was a little while ago.

Could be, or might be that this pitch really suits him. He can get really jarring bounce with that action.

 

[Fawad2010]

All Indians, lets do a group face-palm, ready 3...2...1

 

[Amjid Javed]

Both openers gone! i got up at the right time to watch this )

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

there goes sehwag

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sehwag been shown up again )

 

[Asif321]

sachin will b out for 2 today

 

[IndianWillow]

The procession has started..

 

[style_guru]

SRT shall hit atleast 1 or 2 fours before...

 

[Justcrazy]

Sehwag is that kind of player only..... You cannot expect him to score always.

 

[Justcrazy]

India Trail by 183 runs ......

 

[Fawad2010]

Aussie bowling attack smells blood

 

[NJamal]

India's opening woes continues overseas.

 

[Asif321]

I Feel Imran Farhat Is Better Then Sehwag

 

[NJamal]

by Dravid

 

[ads101]

Could be, or might be that this pitch really suits him. He can get really jarring bounce with that action.

yeah. As an earlier poster said before, probably more down to Starc than Wasim. Just wondered whether Wasim's advice may have actually helped the guy. Know Wasim's given advice to Indian bowlers, and sometimes Pakistani bowlers, and haven't really seen any changes. So I'm curious.

Looked a hell of a lot better this test than he did before. I'm a bit surprised. Great to watch in this test.

 

[NJamal]

Good ball by Haris but went for

 

[Justcrazy]

:4 Dravid

 

[Amjid Javed]

wow what an inswinger and dravid gets a jammy 4!

 

[NJamal]

Cut for by Teenda

 

[Arcturus]

PM Siddle 1-0-1-1
MA Starc 1-0-1-1

 

[Kwremb]

Sehwag is a real FTB, a blight to Test cricket.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4 Tendulkar

 

[Amjid Javed]

lovely upper cut for 4 by sachin!

 

[Random Aussie]

Anyone who says Harris is overrated should watch that over to Dravid. Pace, accuracy, swing both directions
