Australia v India | 4th Test | Adelaide | Jan 24-28, 2012

[akheR]

Zaheer hitting 140k

And Varun Aaron 149.


Huh.

 

[VolcanicAsh]

Khan seems motivated bowling 140ks, I think he is enjoying the fact Dhoni is not in the team, something looks fishy.

 

[Mcgrath]

Zaheer hitting 140k

Must be speedguns from India where Ishant was clocking 100 mph

 

[Lara400]

Indians body language is dead, that said there are near enough dead bodies out there or at least coffin dodgers out there.

 

[ragincajun]

Cowan's pulls are nice to watch

 

[Mcgrath]

now i know why they didnt pick ojha, ashwin offspin and zaheer left arm spin.. great variety..

 

[Lara400]

India still on their site seeing tour

 

[Lara400]

Warner looking for an IPL contract

 

[KingKhanWC]

Warner gone.

 

[ragincajun]

Warner gone cheaply

 

[Iffitheking]

Aleem daar gifted wicket to Zaheer khan...

 

[LethalSami]

Warner gone............Zaheer+Dar strike

"India jitega" shouts

 

[Lara400]

Sehwags done the trick, Dhonis days are over

 

[ragincajun]

it is to be seen if Marsh takes the opportunity and scores some runs here

 

[greekscavenger]

Is there no DRS in this series?

 

[VolcanicAsh]

Aleem daar gifted wicket to Zaheer khan...

How?

 

[ragincajun]

Aleem daar gifted wicket to Zaheer khan...

it was a good decision as per the commentators

 

[Liberty]

omfg how is Marsh still in the team? lol

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Is there no DRS in this series?

No, just because of BCCI

 

[KingKhanWC]

Is there no DRS in this series?

There is no DRS in any series India play.

Dar could have easily given that not out. Come on Aleem, don't gift Indians.

 

[Random Aussie]

Bummer Warner out. Oh well.

Marsh needs runs here or he is goneski.

 

[cricketworm]

Spinner is doing well here already, so I still wonder why on earth Ojha wasn't picked.

 

[duostyle]

Go Team India!

 

[Random Aussie]

omfg how is Marsh still in the team? lol

Its the last chance saloon for him though.

 

[Iffitheking]

it was a good decision as per the commentators

to me it was not out...

 

[ragincajun]

jaaheer in the middle of it all

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Khan to Warner, OUT , lbw! Warner's been
trapped on the crease and Aleem Dar raised
his finger after some thought. Zaheer
pitched the ball on a good length outside off
and nipped it into the left-hander. Warner
didn't move forward as he tried to nudge on
the leg side. The ball hit him on the knee
roll of the front pad, that was pretty out.
DA Warner lbw b Khan 8 (23b 0x4 0x6)
SR: 34.78

 

[donsrk]

Lets Hope Sachin Hits a Ton ! and Still India Lose

 

[Mcgrath]

to me it was not out...

come on.. Indians need some luck.. apparently it's due to the lack of luck they have lost the series..

 

[ragincajun]

Lets Hope Sachin Hits a Ton ! and Still India Lose

sachin wants to end his career on 99

 

[VolcanicAsh]

to me it was not out...

Who cares what you think.

 

[Pakistaniboy]

How has Aleem Dar been this series, any wrong decisions?

 

[insaaniyat]

India will win this test match. Tendu will get his century.

 

[insaaniyat]

How has Aleem Dar been this series, any wrong decisions?

Last wicket-

 

[VolcanicAsh]

India will win this test match. Tendu will get his century.

The two won't happen simultaneously. Choose one.

 

[ragincajun]

Marsh should throw the anchor and just stick around

 

[dhump]

beautiful bowl to get rid of marsh.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Marsh

 

[VolcanicAsh]

walking wicket walks back

 

[insaaniyat]

The two won't happen simultaneously. Choose one.

Ha ha ha

 

[wizard_85]

Marsh gone! what a delivery by ashwin

 

[duostyle]

Marsh is quite the talent...

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Marsh

Ash does a Hafeez! Sheesh.

 

[greekscavenger]

LMFAO Marsh.

I could fly an A380 through that gap.

 

[ragincajun]

Marsh back to domestic cricket

 

[cricketworm]

More Ashwin will take wickets, more I will get angry for not picking Ojha.

 

[Random Aussie]

Marsh

Looked a world beater in SL, now looks terrible

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Why not Khawaja???!!!!

 

[duostyle]

Ashwin makes it laaaarge!

 

[Random Aussie]

Makes it easy for the next series though, Watson in for Marsh. Usman reserve bat.

 

[Iffitheking]

ohh seems like this test match will end in 3 days also... 1st inning Aus. 190/10 India 150/10 2nd inning 250/10 India 200/10.... game set match

 

[duostyle]

I've just had a terrible thought...

What if India does well?

 

[James]

One series wonderrrrrrr.

 

[ragincajun]

Marsh should come lower down the order in the 2nd innings

 

[James]

I've just had a terrible thought...

What if India does well?

3-1 series is the best case scenario for India. Not much of one.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Why not Khawaja???!!!!

Who knows, although he didn't score a ton he looked fairly solid coming in early on Saffer pitches. Maybe he will get another go now.

 

[KingKhanWC]

I've just had a terrible thought...

What if India does well?

They have to bat yet.

 

[dhump]

Ishant looks like "Baghdad Ka Chor"

 

[ragincajun]

Aus not interested in the 4th Test match, want to move over to the ODIs

 

[Random Aussie]

Who knows, although he didn't score a ton he looked fairly solid coming in early on Saffer pitches. Maybe he will get another go now.

I think he will be reserve bat for the WI tour, with Watson coming straight back in for Marsh.

 

[Random Aussie]

I've just had a terrible thought...

What if India does well?

They will hold this Test victory up as proof they are competitive all over the world and cherish it for about 5 years while the rest of us laugh?

 

[cricketworm]

Why is Gauti standing so far?! How on earth bat-pad will fly there?

 

[Looney]

If Sehwag 's side wins , were they deliberately underperforming to remove Dhoni from captaincy ? :kami

 

[KingKhanWC]

I think he will be reserve bat for the WI tour, with Watson coming straight back in for Marsh.

Do you think Watson will open or at no.3? How about Mr Cricket moving up the order at 3 and Waston going down to 6? Interesting little issue for you guys.

 

[ragincajun]

need a big partnership from Aus here

 

[James]

They will hold this Test victory up as proof they are competitive all over the world and cherish it for about 5 years while the rest of us laugh?

was talking to one of them about the 0-7* deficit earlier, their response was the one match they won in England five years ago

 

[*sallu*]

Does Adelaide even count at Australia? Conditions seem more like India tbh

 

[James]

need Ashwin to bowl to Punter, he can struggle against off-spin early on.

 

[KingKhanWC]

145k for Sharma

 

[ragincajun]

Aus 35/2
13 overs

 

[cricketworm]

Wooohooo RR under 3 WIN.

 

[dhump]

Ashwin should have been bowling this over too.

 

[ragincajun]

Yadav on to bowl now

 

[cricketworm]

Fielding

 

[KingKhanWC]

Decent captaincy by FTB, he's rotating his bowlers not allowing Aus to settle in. Spinner on early and now this, wonder who's he learning from?

 

[Random Aussie]

Do you think Watson will open or at no.3? How about Mr Cricket moving up the order at 3 and Waston going down to 6? Interesting little issue for you guys.

I think Watson will bat three. Dont see the point in moving one of the old guys to three, thats just a short term solution.

 

[cricketworm]

That hit on balls by a ball.

Punter came back with beautiful on drive.

 

[Iffitheking]

Wooohooo RR under 3 WIN.

don't be soo happy.. still 2 baapu jis are left Hussey and Clarke

 

[cricketworm]

Yadav is targeting stump, but it's not seaming much.

 

[cricketworm]

don't be soo happy.. still 2 baapu jis are left Hussey and Clarke

that was sarcasm, you failed to read, just like that LBW
