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

[Electron]

I don't know why Indians keep playing Sharma. He can't play any ball which moves a bit.

His talent overflow on Phattas keeps giving us(selectors) false hopes.

 

[Gone]

Kohli is going to get out before 119.

Not today. I have a feeling.

He's the man this situation is built for.

 

[leatherface58]

Tailunt should get hypnotized so that he thinks it's Kolkata vs Sri Lanka.

 

[SL_Fan]

Kohli is the key wicket now. For both sides.

 

[Varun]

The BCCI are never going to accept DRS because of the boneheads they are.

 

[Batman_DB]

more than vijay that rahane wicket has set india back now all they can do is to bat and save the match

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Indians cannot complain about umpires anyways.

CA is willing to accept it, and everyone else, then why not BCCI?

It's a technology to eliminate human error, and if you want umpires to achieve perfection, then use a technology to help them. Humans err.

It's a simple concept.


I don't understand what India will do in World Cup with same technology. Probably misuse it because they don't know which appeals to go for and which not to go for.

And then blame DRS for not being good enough. )

 

[akamaka]

Rohit just needs to hold up an end, let kohli do it all himself.

 

[Buffet]

can virat complete the match for india? he has to stay till the end to save this 1

Very difficult to do with the long tail you have. Rohit is as usual fishing

I will say that Aus is strong favorite right now to win this test. I always thought that 2 wickets will change all equations.

 

[Varun]

This is not the first time Erasermouse has had a bad match either.

 

[SL_Fan]

New ball due in 8 overs.

 

[Gone]

You know how a whole nation used to put all their hope on one guy?

Virat has taken that role.

 

[CricketCartoons]

Don't need DRS. cricket is more interesting this way. A game of glorious uncertainties.

 

[praveen]

Aussie pacers looking really innocuous

India should be chasing this game down by these two quick wickets have pull things back

 

[Gone]

Kohli in this game has been class above the rest of the Indians

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Also this innings will be a great one from Kohli if India draw or manage the unthinkable win.

If he gets out after 100 and India lose, then I won't call it one of his better innings.

The job at hand is to draw or win.

If you lose in the process a 100 or even 200 doesn't matter.

 

[Gone]

Want kohli to quickly reach 120 so the jinx is broken.

 

[Laal]

I wonder if Australia would take the new ball?

 

[SL_Fan]

more than vijay that rahane wicket has set india back now all they can do is to bat and save the match

Tell that to Kohli He'll be going for the win.

 

[biggestdravidfan]

First it was Sydney 2008 . Now Adelaide 2014 ?

 

[Varun]

Going down 0-1 after this will be a psychological nightmare.

how rohit sharma has hit two ODI doubles I will never understand.

Yup. He needs to see us through a win or draw. Else , it will be just another good innings in a losing cause.

I think its refreshing to see India fight like this.
I love dhoni, but i think we would have shut the game off ages ago ..

Absolutely . Hes proved in ODIs that a player can win matches single handedly & time he proves it here .
A minimum is a draw here

 

[Dr_Bassim]

how rohit sharma has hit two ODI doubles I will never understand.

Rohit has insane amount of talent. He can't play the swing well, but when the wicket is not doing much, he can hit all kinds of shots.

Plus he gets to 50 in 100 balls, 100 in 25 balls and 150 in 20 balls 200 in 18 balls )

 

[Gone]

Rohit is like a headless chicken here.

 

[BlackThunder]

WTH is talunt doing out there.

 

[desi_launda]

rohit )

 

[Gone]

I have a feeling Lyon's appealing has to do something with the bad umpiring lol.

 

[SL_Fan]

India still has a decent chance to pull this one off imo. But it all depends on Kohli. He has to be there till the end or close to it. If there's anyone I'll be willing to put my money on to chase this one down it'll be Kohli!

 

[leatherface58]

Tailunt batting for Oz.

so what I hear he is India's version of Hafeez with an even greater level of FTB prowess.

 

[Gone]

Kohli keeps strike, no hope on sharma

 

[jusarrived]

I dont think its easy batting against lyon out there & Rohit isnt really a good player of spin .

 

[BlackThunder]

Talunt doing everything he can to give his wicket away. Kohli might aswell shield him from the strike.

 

[Justcrazy]

110 required , India ahead in the game

 

[Gone]

One man who can chase this down today in world cricket is in the middle.

So not all hope is lost.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Just because BCCI is against DRS we deserve to lose and it gives umpires the right to give howlers ? Wow.

Its more of an anger comment.

You are over analyzing it by takingn it to mean that OUR PLaYERS deserve it.

 

[battler]

A cow-lashing 40 of 30 from rohit here would do us wonders.

 

[leatherface58]

Tailunt vs .

) Gonna be fun!

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I dont think its easy batting against lyon out there & Rohit isnt really a good player of spin .

Rohit is the best player of spin generally.

Against others he is garbage.

He is showing his brain **** now even against Lyon.

Trying to blindly sweep.

 

[Gone]

Everytime rohit is on strike. I am so nervous.

 

[desi_launda]

look at ***** lazily wafting his bat

 

[Dr_Bassim]

so what I hear he is India's version of Hafeez with an even greater level of FTB prowess.

Let's put it this way.

On flat tracks, Hafeez is a Timbuktu player compared to Rohit the Indian

 

[blackanhyellow]

well all the senior citizens who didnt like technology are gone from the team, yet BCCI still doesnt want DRS?

 

[SL_Fan]

Someone in the indian dressing room needs to quickly run out and hand poor Rohit a chill pill.

 

[desi_launda]

no-Hit banned on PP )

 

[BlackThunder]

Pathetic stuff from talunt. This guy has no desire to fight it out. Least he can do is support Kohli.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

In my opinion, Rohit should shield Kohli from Lyon.

Not bcos Kohli can't play Lyon but bcos Lyon is the only guy who can bowl some unplayable deliveries now. Better Rohit gets that delivery than Kohli.

Kohli will take on the pacers.

 

[Varun]

Rohit you hack.

 

[battler]

:4

 

[Gone]

Please hopefully he gets going now!

 

[desi_launda]

bonus runs from tailunt

 

[jusarrived]

Virat and Rayudu are the two best in the country.
Hes one of the worst in linup . Hes more like Yuvi who can hit them well .
He simply doesnt pick them .
Rohits strenght is his backfoot play , arguably the best in the linup

 

[Dr_Bassim]

One man who can chase this down today in world cricket is in the middle.

So not all hope is lost.

If Rohit can stop being clueless, than perhaps Kohli will.

At the moment Rohit is perhaps not offering much confidence, considering he is the last of the batsmen Kohli can depend on to try for the win.

 

[Gone]

No Matter who you are when you play for India you gotta back them so cmon rohit!!

 

[SL_Fan]

The ball somehow manages to hit Sharma's bat.

 

[SL_Fan]

Kohli whattay shott!

 

[akamaka]

1 hour and 20 mins left in the day. What if australia slow down their over rate ?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Virat and Rayudu are the two best in the country.

But I never saw Rohit troubled against even the illegall delvery bowling Shillingford when everyone else folded.

He is good against spin yaar.

His attitude is rubbish.

Mindset garbage.

 

[Varun]

Fluke boundary, well done Rohit.

 

[desi_launda]

 

[Gone]

Kohl you beauty.

116* 3 more to go

 

[Gone]

We can't afford a wicket, so rohit has to stick.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Kohli shouldn't be the one protecting others.

Everyone should fight tooth and nail to protect Kohli.

Kohli against pacers will take on this game.

Kohli vs Lyon is not looking good.

 

[praveen]

Lyon might get a percentage of his match fees docked for excessive appealing

[Gone]

And rohit has a better avg than kohli...

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

SHOUT OUT to Australia though...with only 100 runs left they are still attacking KOHLI...any other team would at least let him have a single and not give up the boundary

 

[jusarrived]

Just watch the two play spin . Virat is watching the ball till the last second & he picks them well too . Rohit is either swinging wildly or using is pads , cos he simply does not watch/pick .

 

[SL_Fan]

Kohli seems to be up for a biggie today.

 

[Varun]

100 to win.

Come on, how can we not go for this.

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Anyone think they should take the new ball?

 

[Justcrazy]

Only 100 required now

 

[Varun]

Kohli looks up for a biggie today.

He's 2 runs away from his test ceiling.

 

[battler]

We need one really big over here,somehow!

 

[SL_Fan]

That's his HS now.

 

[akamaka]

What a shot.
