Australia v India | CT 2009 | Centurion | 28/9/09 [Match Abandoned due to rain]

[Afridi_Fan]

Opportunity missed of run Paine out.

 

[don1990]

run out missed,,,,, its paveen kumar....

 

[Momo]

Bump the thread.

Nah I'll give him twenty more runs or ten minutes, whichever comes earlier, before invoking 'that' one.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Not only does Dhoni need captaincy, batting and media skills from Younis Khan - he should also ask him for advice on hitting the stumps.

 

[don1990]

good stop by kohli.....

 

[Afridi_Fan]

If one is listening to the commontry for the 1st ime he will get the idea that Indian team is untouchable.

 

[jusarrived]

brilliant fielding there

 

[Oxy]

Watson has had a shocker for me in my FAntasy XI - 2 ducks

 

[don1990]

Run out missed Paine had stabbed the ball behind the wicket and hesitated when Ponting called him over for a quick single. He then rushes across. Dhoni swooped on the ball and fired it towards the non-striker's end. PK (Praveen Kumar) wasn't at the stumps, he lunged out to collect but let the ball slip. Had he collected it cleanly or stood near the stumps, there could have been run out.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

14/1 after 6.

 

[Oxy]

I thought I heard a nick...might have been thigh pad?

last match it was a golden duck

 

[Afridi_Fan]

For God sake get this Shastri out of the Com. Box.

 

[OZGOD]

Geez we're all over the shop at the moment. We need to settle down and pound this ordinary Indian attack

 

[slix10]

Batsmen still uneasy about the pitch.

 

[don1990]

nehra bowling in tight line....

 

[Momo]

Watson has had a shocker for me in my FAntasy XI - 2 ducks

I think it was a bigger shocker on the part of the 'selector'.

 

[haroonrasheed320]

Why can't PK bowl quicker I mean there is no excuse he looks more strong then Aamer or even Asif

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Oh ho

 

[Fish]

Oooh! Punter survives a good LBW shout!

5/1

I'm only ollowing this game on cricinfo and cant find any reference to an LBW shout or the ball even hitting his pads.

 

[don1990]

big shout.................... but not out....

 

[Oxy]

OUT?? Might have been thigh pad again

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Good decision by Billy

 

[Seen Sheen]

) )

Me supporting Aussies today as usual

even against us?

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Lord. Zoo animals screaming and jumping at anything.

 

[don1990]

pointing seems uncomfortable.....

 

[RexRex]

ponting will hit 140 ... u heard it here first

 

[Oxy]

Ponting looking like Devon Malcolm - Nehra looking like McGrath!

 

[don1990]

loud shout for a catch down the leg side: It was a short of length delivery on the leg stump line, Ponting tries to play the leg glance and it appears to have gone off the hip. Dhoni lunged to his left to collect it.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Lord. Zoo animals screaming and jumping at anything.

) )

 

[Oxy]

NOt seen Ponting look so uncomfortable in a long time!

 

[OZGOD]

Ohh the drama!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

18/1 after 7.

 

[haroonrasheed320]

I think it was a bigger shocker on the part of the 'selector'.

They are Wasting Watson!!! he is an all rounder & fast bowling all rounders never opens the Batting, In order to utilize both he needs to play down the order

 

[Oxy]

Christ! Do they make cricket shirts that large??

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Ian Chappel read the surface perfectly from the commentary box, Wasim and Shastri were on the square, were they looking at the wrong one??

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Afridi_Fan]

good start by Australia.

 

[MIG]

Max Paine doing some damage here for India

 

[slix10]

Ponting is just like dublee tee ef this pitch.

 

[don1990]

Kumar to Paine, FOUR, drifts towards the pads and Paine plays the leg glance to the fine-leg boundary.

 

[Momo]

"Good start from Australia. A steady start!"

Now I am sure Wasim Akram smokes something.

 

[Oxy]

Ian Chappel read the surface perfectly from the commentary box, Wasim and Shastri were on the square, were they looking at the wrong one??

Ian CHappel is one of the best cricketing brains out there.

Was, Shaz, Baz & Taz are just ESPN/Star gimmicks..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

23/1 after 8.

 

[ace_allrounder]

even against us?

I will be after you with a jhaaru if you say something like that again

 

[Mohsin]

Well if we're gonna back Australia today we better act like supports right?

DROP WATSON, HE'S SO USELSS!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Sharma comes on.

 

[MIG]

Australia RR 2.87
Last 5 ovs 19/0 RR 3.80

 

[don1990]

ishant sharma is on attack,,,,,,,

 

[jusarrived]

Ponting is such a FTB , all you need is little swing or little spin ...Munaf patel would have looked better batting here

 

[haroonrasheed320]

"Good start from Australia. A steady start!"

Now I am sure Wasim Akram smokes something.

looking at he number of appeals & good bowling you have to say its a matter of survival though they couldn't have survived against :aamir

 

[MIG]

Well if we're gonna back Australia today we better act like supports right?

DROP WATSON, HE'S SO USELSS!

Ponting smiles a lot

 

[Poison]

ponting will hit 140 ... u heard it here first

Read the first page of the thread His record is in doubt for me.

 

[Oxy]

Stadium is virtually empty? Surely Indian fans should be out in force getting behind their boyzzzz

 

[don1990]

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Paine

 

[haroonrasheed320]

Ponting is such a FTB , all you need is little swing or little spin ...Munaf patel would have looked better batting here

11843 runs at an average of 42.90 he has nothing to prove to someone like you

 

[Civil]

Max Paine doing some damage here for India

lol

i would also like to note that T-pain is opening the batting for Aussie (for our PP r&B hip hop fans)

anyways what a slow start by aus issed:

 

[MIG]

Stadium is virtually empty? Surely Indian fans should be out in force getting behind their boyzzzz

Work day - expect more in the evening, I guess

 

[don1990]

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Paine

All went home with their tails between their legs after the Pakistan debacle.

 

[don1990]

sharma gives easy runs to aussiess,,,,,,

 

[don1990]

Sharma to Paine, FOUR, 133,5 kmph back of length delivery outside off stump, Paine reaches out for it and in the end plays well away from the body. the bottom-hand came off the handle at the last minute but he went through with the uppish on the up square drive and clears point

 

[haroonrasheed320]

Six oye bale bale

 

[don1990]

Sharma to Paine, SIX, fires in a short one and Paine rocks back to play a crunching pull over square-leg boundary. 10 runs so far in this over

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Wide.

 

[Poison]

What in the world has happened to Sharma? I thought he was a good prospect !

 

[slix10]

Paine picking up the lagging RR nicely...

35/1.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ponting

 

[Mohsin]

Shot! 44444444444444444444

 

[don1990]

by pointing

 

[Momo]

Ian Chappel read the surface perfectly from the commentary box, Wasim and Shastri were on the square, were they looking at the wrong one??

Wasim/Shastri are rookies when compared to Chappel. Another minor problem that works against them is that they inhale a bit too excessively.

 

[Juggernaut]

Good shot from Ponting.

Ishant goes for 16 in his first over.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ishant is really bowling at 100 MPH the speed gun is not working otherwise how the ball can travel so fast off the bat?

Its all due to Ishant's extra pace.

 

[don1990]

huge over 16 coming in that over....

 

[RexRex]

lol...whats gone wrong with sharma ? poor thing has lost it.

 

[DonJee]

What has happened to 100MPH bowler? He seems to have lost everything!
