oh its 4..........its bowled its bowled! )))

This is a classic!

The 'beghairat' laughter was funny as hell in a retarted sort of way.

 

[asifp]

same was the pitch we played pakistan

The ball was turning square in that one by the 15th over.

This is wayyyyy more turn.

 

[RexRex]

err no. Do you know why Bob Marley was?

there was a very early interview of him...believe me it was bob alright

 

[don1990]

easy singles available for aussiess.......

 

[don1990]

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Paine Gone.

 

[sehban]

Paine goes

 

[Mohsin]

U Idiot!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Paine using broom once too many..

 

[jusarrived]

hmm Pathan was bowling in the 15 over , here we have Mishra and Harbajan who get more spin then pathan

 

[don1990]

ths sweep doesn't work for paine & straight in the hands of bhaji.........

 

[Oxy]

err no. Do you know why Bob Marley was?

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time....

 

[OZGOD]

Bummer. Lazy shot. Good knock though.

 

[asifp]

Spinners will bd a hanful on this wicket.

i can see the Aussies collapsing to 200 all out

 

[Afridi_Fan]

M. Hussey walks in.

 

[asifp]

Lets the conspiracies start

hahahah

BCCI had a hand in this wicket since they knew Aussie has no good spinner...

hmmmmm

 

[don1990]

hussey in....

 

[sehban]

Spinners will bd a hanful on this wicket.

i can see the Aussies collapsing to 200 all out

same here...Aussies have been collapsing quite consistently of late

 

[saqeeb90]

i am going for india today..
i can't believe it..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

88/2 after 17.

 

[Oxy]

there was a very early interview of him...believe me it was bob alright

DOnt recall Tendulkar ever having dreadlocks or braids...

 

[don1990]

Mishra to Paine, OUT, Paine goes for another fine sweep but gets a top edge. He has profited from couple of sweeps and paddle sweeps but couldn't connect this one. It was flighted outside off stump line and Paine top edges a dolly to Harbhajan at midwicket. Paine was doing his role, trying to upset the lengths of the spinners with his various sweep, succeeded initially but couldn't get it working this time.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Punter

 

[OZGOD]

Surely Dubya's played himself in by now. He needs to start dominating while Hussey gets himself settled. Good fine sweep.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

93/2 after 18

 

[Momo]

The best Aussie batsman has still to come. Ominous for India.

 

[Seen Sheen]

same was the pitch we played pakistan

nah..the match between Ind and Pak was the last match on that particular pitch..Its the same pitch used last night in SA ENG game..so its the 2nd match on this track.

 

[Momo]

Ponting means business. :ramiz

 

[Afridi_Fan]

99/2 after 19

 

[Momo]

434 looks within reach.

 

[Mohsin]

Nah i think Johnson's not in the mood today

 

[Afridi_Fan]

100 up in 19.2 overs.

 

[jusarrived]

nah..the match between Ind and Pak was the last match on that particular pitch..Its the same pitch used last night in SA ENG game..so its the 2nd match on this track.

I meant , there was spin in the match we played pak too ...not that it was on the same pitch

MJ?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

105/2 in 20.

 

[Momo]

Well it depends upon how badly the Indians beg for it.

 

[JeeraBlade]

I thought Punter was Sharma's bunny?

 	I Sharma  	3  	0  	30  	0  	10.00

 

[Inswinger]

MJ?

The one and only.

 

[Seen Sheen]

I meant , there was spin in the match we played pak too ...not that it was on the same pitch

but isnt it spinning more 2day..or is it the case of pitching in right areas ?!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

106/2 after 21/

 

[IAJ]

Hussey will be the key in the middle overs here as he is a good player of spin. They should look for 6 runs per over from here.

 

[RexRex]

india supposed to roar back into the game now ...

 

[Seen Sheen]

The one and only.

I think CHITTA factor could also come into play later on in the inns...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

111/2 in 22

 

[OZGOD]

Ponting looks like he's setting himself to bat through the innings.

 

[Gollum]

Ponting 13th in OD rankings?

 

[Momo]

LOL at Tendulkar's 'movements' in the field.

 

[Seen Sheen]

I thought Sharma was Ponting's bunny?

 	I Sharma  	3  	0  	30  	0  	10.00

fixed..

 

[Inswinger]

india supposed to roar back into the game now ...

Only if you had a decent bowler. I feel for Dhoni. He has almost no options at the moment, the best thing he should do is give Tendulkar a few overs. He's notorious for taking wickets when the team needs it the most. How long has it been since he bowled in a match?

 

[sehban]

another good partnership building

122/2 24 overs

 

[Seen Sheen]

Bhajji back to his 'usual' pace....

 

[Hash]

Harbajan Singh is bowling very well

 

[Momo]

Too early to say this of course but it will be interesting if the end result turns out to be:

Against Pakistan: Played four specialist bowlers, and Dhoni felt he was three bowlers short

Against Australia: Played five specialist bowelers, and Dhoni felt he was four bowlers short

I dont know what the deal is with tendulkar, but they dont really want him to bowl..........on the indian news channel they were making a big deal about that, and apparently dhoni said in his post match press conference after the pak game, that tendulkar had a shoulder injury and he couldnt bowl

 

[RexRex]

somebody get dhoni his magic lamp !

Tendulkar's joints are at their last legs. They won't bowl him again.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Raina Naved has come onto bowl

 

[asifp]

Shot Hussey

I dont see any decent bowlers in other teams as well ...Lankans , OZs , SA's all have looked worse than our bowling first

 

[Momo]

Dhoni is fond of bowling part-timers even if he has seven specialist bowlers.

 

[RexRex]

DOnt recall Tendulkar ever having dreadlocks or braids...

he did have his goatee though

 

[coy0607]

the inidan fast bowling prodigy is back

 

[AZ]

God this match is friggin' boring

 

[Poison]

Dhoni is fond of bowling part-timers even if he has seven specialist bowlers.

?? Why did he play five specialists if he's bowling part timers?

YK would never do such a thing

 

[Seen Sheen]

Dhoni is fond of bowling part-timers even if he has seven specialist bowlers.

man he is still a bowler short today..Thats why he is using part-timers like SHARMA and Raina..

 

[Inswinger]

All those teams have at least 2 bowlers who can rip through a lineup in a matter of overs. This current Indian attack looks impotent. With Bhaji struggling the others are not stepping up. Playing Kumar in place of RP was a mistake. At least RP has some pace.

 

[Momo]

I think Dhoni should enrol in the YK Institute of Captaincy immediately.

And as we speak, Ponting crosses 50.

 

[Momo]

[Inswinger]

Excellent knock by Punter.

 

[Poison]

This is bad for us; Aussies will be buoyant if they keep hammering these part-timers around (Ishant, Harbhajan)

 

[OZGOD]

Good fifty from Dubya

 

[coy0607]

this is where India are going to lose this match.......if they dont bring a top bowler back now (singh, mishra, or nehra) and dont pick up a wicket, Australia are going to go on to make 320+ and their is no way india can chase that against the Australian bowlers

 

[sehban]

Ricky worried about the weather...hopefully it stays away

 

[Seen Sheen]

Harbajan Singh is bowling very well

I hope you meant to say that Amit Mishra was bowling very well..

 

[Cover Drive]

Hussey seems to be in good touch i hope he doesn't do something special against us

 

[Inswinger]

Dark ominous clouds moving in fast.

 

[Gollum]

OZ looking good for 330 provided there is no rain delay.

 

[Momo]

What happens if the match is washed out?

 

[coy0607]

Ricky worried about the weather...hopefully it stays away

if this match is washed out, thats a good thing.......that will guarantee us a spot in the semis...

 

[Momo]

Hussey looking good. Milking the Indians now.
