Australia v India l 1st Test l December 9-13, 2014 l Adelaide

[SL_Fan]

Right off the middle of the blade. To a mm.

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Johnson should just revert back to the bouncers. He doesn't get the movement Harris does.

 

[JaDed]

I don't think there is a need for Kohli to accelerate

 

[Justcrazy]

317 / 4

India avoid follow on

 

[Random Aussie]

Harris' line with new bowl is better than Johnson atm.

Ideally MJ bowls first change, the only use he gets from the new ball is it hurts more if he hits someone.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Touch of pure class their from Kohli. Crispy fours to Johnny.

 

[Anchorman]

Virat treating Johnson like a trundler.

 

[praveen]

Kohli has been on song since he became captain

Johnson needs to move away from Phil Hughes now , accidents can happen, there is nothing one can do about that

 

[samplepiece]

Follow-on avoided not that Aussies would have enforced it at Adelaide Oval. Kohli in 90s.

 

[JaDed]

Yup but how long can someone last bowling like that MJ has defn lasted longer than most expected.
As i say Kohli seems to be struggling against Harris.

 

[Anchorman]

Smashes it again for 4!

 

[OZGOD]

Jonno's bowling has deteriorated after hitting Kohli on the head

 

[Arsal_AK]

Shot!

 

[JaDed]

Of all the people i never expected MJ to slow down because one hit as that is his strength.

 

[Justcrazy]

hear the sound.....

hammering Johnson , NO fear.

 

[Aman]

Phainty for MJ

 

[SL_Fan]

Batting outside of the crease facing Johnson with the new cherry. Shows just how slow the wicket is

 

[akamaka]

halwa bowling at the moment, from johnson.

 

[JaDed]

Jonno's bowling has deteriorated after hitting Kohli on the head

That ball that went for 4 was better than all the ones he bowled last over.

 

[Anchorman]

Kohli cruising in the 90s.

 

[Justcrazy]

is such a gun player

 

[samplepiece]

Indians relieved that Lyon isnt bowling?

 

[SL_Fan]

Good thing for Aus tho is that once Kohli gets the 100 he usually gives it away hahaha

 

[JaDed]

Kohli needs to play well against Harris with the new ball to bring some relied to skeptic Indian fans like me.

 

[Tera Gawaandi]

Johnson 1-88 (15)

 

[Anchorman]

Harris is the only one that looks threatening to Kohli.

 

[Justcrazy]

Johnson looks worried.

 

[SL_Fan]

Marsh taking the new ball? For real?

 

[praveen]

Harris out of attack. Phew

What a joke!!!!Mitch ???

 

[Saffer_XIII]

What's with Harris and the 2 over spells. Hopefully he's just changing ends.

 

[Aman]

Brilliant hundred by Kohli.

 

[SL_Fan]

And that's Kohli's 100 top knock

 

[Anchorman]

100 for Virat.

 

[KevinFern]

Bravo Virat

 

[JaDed]

Even if Mitch takes Kohli's wicket the real test would had been Harris vs Kohli. Clarke has ruined it.

 

[NZcricketfan]

It wasn't much better before it. Accept it

 

[Tera Gawaandi]

Virat 100, Babbar Sher.

 

[Justcrazy]

by Kohli

 

[praveen]

Century. Captain leading from the front. Lots of pleasing shots this time.

Yeah most likely.

 

[JaDed]

Anyhow congrats Virat patient innings from him. 100

 

[samplepiece]

Top knock! Even though the surface is docile, we did see what scorecard pressure can do in the Aus-Pak and NZ-Pak series in UAE.

 

[Aman]

It wasn't much better before it. Accept it

Old Johno back

 

[Anchorman]

Hope he goes on to make a daddy hundred!

 

[SL_Fan]

Kohli's HS is just 119? That a bit of a surprise.

 

[Aman]

Aussies starting to lose their cool

 

[samplepiece]

How does Rohit Sharma average 50 in test cricket while Kohli averages about 40!

 

[jusarrived]

yup thats one of the reasons his avg is not great . When you score , you need to score big . He needs to improve on that .

 

[desi_launda]

more talent

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia waiting for another magic ball.

 

[Aman]

more talent

Don't you mean more tailunt? lol

 

[samplepiece]

more talent

so the formula for average is, talent / matches?

 

[NZcricketfan]

Percentage fail...

adds up to 101 %

 

[Bhaijaan]

Kohli needs to grow up and hit big.

 

[desi_launda]

Don't you mean more tailunt? lol

i thought that word was banned here.it was censored before

 

[OZGOD]

Marsh bowling too straight

 

[desi_launda]

gift for tailunt

 

[SL_Fan]

Aus wasting the new cherry.

 

[OZGOD]

It wasn't much better before it. Accept it

He bowled a good spell just before he hit Kohli on the head

 

[Aman]

Monstered by Rohit

 

[desi_launda]

that's a real talented shot

 

[NZcricketfan]

He bowled a good spell just before he hit Kohli on the head

He was going at over 6 an over

 

[SL_Fan]

Now Sharma getting in on the action.

 

[OZGOD]

He was going at over 6 an over

That was because his first spell was shyte

 

[desi_launda]

ball really turning now

 

[samplepiece]

The new ball has worked well for the Indians so far. Took Lyon out of the attack first and now he is back but with a lot harder cherry.

 

[SL_Fan]

Around 10-15 overs to go today I think. Aus needs wickets badly before the shine wears off.

 

[jusarrived]

350 runs in a day is really good .
if we can match Australias score , can put pressure on them

 

[Aman]

If these 2 get India to 450, I reckon they'll end up with a decent first innings lead.

 

[SL_Fan]

India should end up with a lead I reckon.

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Kohli has seriously under achieved in test cricket. Maybe the captaincy is what he needs to focus him.

 

[SL_Fan]

Things could get real interesting last couple of days.

 

[Vayuu]

Kohli has seriously under achieved in test cricket. Maybe the captaincy is what he needs to focus him.

To be honest I see a bit of Ricky Ponting in him, both have similar attitude.

 

[Varun]

Fair to say Australia have wasted the new ball. They should have looked to get shaky Rohit out.

 

[Sandeep]

I sense a Rohit Sharma brain **** here

 

[Random Aussie]

Yep he's on 23 and he's looked pretty.

3...2....1...

Seems to be trying to give his wicket to Lyon.

So, the Indian batsmen have come out here to play. Excellent news for this series.

 

[samplepiece]

There's never a dull moment when Rohit Sharma is batting. Elegance, brain fades, timing, awkwardness - a complete package.
