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

[iHammad]

Aus 80/0 in the session now

 

[Warfare]

India extended Punter's shelf life by another year

Yep and when he loses form again just send him to play against India. Problem solved. Efficient and reliable, works for everyone including tailenders.

The only ones who lose out are those poor Indian spinners but who cares?

 

[OZGOD]

MIGHTY AND TALL ISHANT back to try and take the wicket of his bunny Ponting

 

[OZGOD]

loosener from Ishant cut through point

 

[OZGOD]

Jason de la Pena actually called Ishant "hapless" that time

 

[Munna]

Nearly a wicket there...yes the ball flew 3ft away and over the stumps!

 

[ninjafirstslip]

here is why they suck so bad. 1 or 2 good balls followed by a hit me. Where is the pressure silly boys. Akin to trying to smack everything for 6 whilst batting.

 

[Warfare]

I want to ask ashwin if this is still not embarrassing

Embarrassing? Kya?

This is just practise for IPL.

 

[OZGOD]

on the plus side, this is the best (and last) chance for to get his 100th 100

 

[Warfare]

on the plus side, this is the best (and last) chance for to get his 100th 100

I suspect the pitch will miraculously change when the God comes out to bat.

 

[Sledger]

I'm 100% sure will do it here. This is a dead rubber and an even deader wicket. It's written.

 

[Saqs]

What's happened to Sehwag's 'innovative' captaincy?

 

[OZGOD]

Nearly a wicket there...yes the ball flew 3ft away and over the stumps!

That's an epic nearly considering what has gone before

 

[OZGOD]

I'm 100% sure will do it here. This is a dead rubber and an even deader wicket. It's written.

And nothing at stake, no pressure

 

[ninjafirstslip]

indians are now becoming a bunch of kittens. Has ishant changed his name yet or was that another india tv classic?

 

[Saqs]

I'm 100% sure will do it here. This is a dead rubber and an even deader wicket. It's written.

It would be fitting to do it in Adelaide (Bradman's home town).

But then again, it's such a nonsense landmark. Sick of it.

 

[LethalSami]

i don't predicted this big a PHAINTA

650-4 dec. anyone?????

 

[ninjafirstslip]

What's happened to Sehwag's 'innovative' captaincy?

He bowled pies. wanted to play with himself.

 

[iHammad]

Ponting to 173 *

 

[Warfare]

It would be fitting to do it in Adelaide (Bradman's home town).

But then again, it's such a nonsense landmark. Sick of it.

Lol SS, epic signature.

Afridi batting on this pitch against these Indian Phaast bowlers would have been a treat to watch.

 

[OZGOD]

Ishant's bunny Ponting dispatches him to the boundary for

 

[OZGOD]

He bowled pies. wanted to play with himself.

From the Sydney Morning Herald:

Clarke, meanwhile, was imperious, giving Ponting a good head start, then racing past him in the afternoon as India's worn-out bowlers, in particular Umesh Yadav and a pie-throwing Virender Sehwag, were dealt with ruthlessly and left to bake in the heat.

[OZGOD]

Ishant's bunny Ponting smacks him to the boundary again for

 

[ninjafirstslip]

another boundry. Ishant the of bowling. What swagger.

 

[OZGOD]

Clarke drives through long off for

 

[ninjafirstslip]

lol hello ashwin.

 

[yeh_cheezzz]

I have a question..
Are the commentators sacred to say INDIA U R BOWLING BAD... they always say he is bowling good come one check their run rate each bowler is getting hammered

 

[OZGOD]

record partnership of 342 at the Adelaide Oval reached

 

[Warfare]

Ashwin closing in on his century. This will be a very memorable moment for his career.

 

[Sledger]

Michael Clarke now averages 50. Has almost made 5 centuries (virtually) in two innings. The 'great' Tendulkar none from 6. )

This average will change if he gets out of course.. but WILL he get out?

 

[ninjafirstslip]

I have a question..
Are the commentators sacred to say INDIA U R BOWLING BAD... they always say he is bowling good come one check their run rate each bowler is getting hammered

Aus. commentators take pity. Not the sky team in terms of nastiness when they get going.:rana Mark taylor probably never said anything negative to anyone in his life.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

clarke on exactly 50. Quality player.

 

[ads101]

Great twin double centuries. This is really getting embarrassing for India lol.

 

[W63L35]

I would really want to get his 100th hundred this test and want India to lose the match by an innings, Imagine a thread "Sachin's 100th hundred at a losing cause"

You are saying this as if that type of thread has never been created.

 

[Warfare]

Aus. commentators take pity. Not the sky team in terms of nastiness when they get going.:rana Mark taylor probably never said anything negative to anyone in his life.

The commies suggesting to increase the predictor to 340-350. )

 

[yeh_cheezzz]

I am fed up with the commentary feels like turn my computer on mute and then watch the game

 

[Munna]

Odd ball keeping low... Roug patches have already started to appear in the pitch...
I guess we have an interesting indian batting display coming on tomorrow :-D

 

[W63L35]

record partnership of 342 at the Adelaide Oval reached

Considering this was don's home ground.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Clarke looks at the pitch alot. Him and ricky just waiting for the right time.

 

[Sledger]

Ashwin two away from a test century.

 

[Sledger]

And there it is! Three runs and the crowd are on their feet.

 

[yeh_cheezzz]

well I can now officially say to Indians

"Hogey achey apne ghar main"

 

[OZGOD]

Ashwin slapped to the boundary for by Dubya

 

[ninjafirstslip]

ahahaha ashwin.

 

[Warfare]

And there it is! Three runs and the crowd are on their feet.

Congratulations Ashwin.

Can he manage a double century?

 

[Sledger]

Ponting catching up. The race to 200 is on.

 

[OZGOD]

Clarke looks at the pitch alot. Him and ricky just waiting for the right time.

After lunch they will step it up a bit I reckon.

 

[Munna]

) another four

 

[ninjafirstslip]

clarke massacre.

 

[Sledger]

Australia should just try and bat once. 700 should be the target.

 

[OZGOD]

India look like the most listless team I've ever seen in the field. Just going thru the motions, no talk, no chatter, ambling around their positions just waiting for the declaration. This is when you need a Ganguly to put a rocket up their @rse.

 

[Legend Killer]

dropped by Sharma

 

[Sledger]

111.6


Ashwin to Clarke, FOUR, carrom ball

) )

 

[ninjafirstslip]

ahahahaha o thats the icing right there.

 

[OZGOD]

Ishant has dropped his bunny Ponting on 189

 

[DOOSRA95]

what a mess ishant sharma!

 

[Munna]

That is the closest he could get to taking a wicket in this innings i feel

 

[Sledger]

Should have got his middle finger under that one really.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Should have got his middle finger under that one really.

QOTW:khalil

 

[Legend Killer]

Australia should just try and bat once. 700 should be the target.

They have enough runs right now to only bat once

 

[ninjafirstslip]

anyone wants comedy gold just type ishant in twitter search

 

[DOOSRA95]

I love the way Ishant he is one great LEAK MACHINE for easy runs.

 

[Warfare]

The mighty Ishant is only 10 runs away from his century. How exciting!

 

[Munna]

Look at their condition now...and I wonder how indians are gonna perform in their next overseas tour f they are not gonna have any tours for 2years!

 

[Sledger]

Clarke 198*

 

[DOOSRA95]

I want ponting to get 260 plus score!

 

[ninjafirstslip]

husseys next

 

[Sledger]

Double hundred - India killed by Clarke again.

 

[OZGOD]

200 for Clarke well played

 

[ninjafirstslip]

[yeh_cheezzz]

Double Hundred for Clark

 

[DOOSRA95]

What a captain Clark 200 no

 

[Sledger]

Now a four. )

 

[OZGOD]

more for Pup

 

[Munna]

Clarke should just retire his innings now and let hussey in

 

[ninjafirstslip]

back to business

 

[Warfare]

Well done Pup.

This is some of the most brutal batting I've seen.

 

[Warfare]

Punter's turn next.

Then Hussey and Haddin who will "suddenly" regain form.

 

[OZGOD]

husseys next

Hussey and Haddin itching to get on. I think I see Hussey waving from the pavilion asking for one of them to retire hurt
