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

[SL_Fan]

Lunch. I think India would take that.

 

[Aman]

India take that session.

 

[BlackThunder]

We have these Aussies shivering in their boots, Aussies look scared of the blue machine #BleedBlue

 

[Gone]

At Lunch India: 105/2

Need 4.04 runs an over

 

[Buffet]

Do u reckon India can get 268 in 68 overs?

No, chances are very low. If Indian tries to something dramatic then they will lose wickets in heaps.

 

[Batman_DB]

just need 1 wicket and australia will clean up the middle order

 

[Buffet]

India take that session.

Nah, it was an even session.

 

[jusarrived]

Ball hit outside the line ? Does Ganguly know that if the batsmen dont offer a shot it dosent matter ?

How can a Test cricketer no know this ?

 

[Gone]

Might stay up all night interesting day ahead!

 

[TNA]

Doable if these two stay in and add another 100 or so. Looking well set to do that actually. If that happens pressure will be back on Aus and anything can happen.

The pitch is in wear and tear. Lyon is troubling every ball or two.

History suggest no one has ever chased this many amount of runs on this ground.

Lets remain skeptical. India can do it but its too early. Way too early to even think for a win.

 

[Aman]

It'll be interesting to see how Clarke responds if these two put on another 100 runs.

It's all easy when you have a gun bowler running through teams, not so much when you're on the back foot.

 

[Random Aussie]

Do u reckon India can get 268 in 68 overs?

No

 

[Buffet]

Aus will come all out trying to attack in the first 15 overs after the lunch. It will be a key 15 overs in deciding where this game goes.

 

[desi_launda]

Should be easy win for India

 

[desi_launda]

We shouldsent Shami as pinch hitter if a wicket falls soon

 

[SankarReddy]

whats with the name calling dudes. knock it off. If you don't like a comment made by someone, ignore it. Don't repeat that 5 times.

 

[battler]

It would be so gun if India went the next session without losing a wicket.
they might go t20 style in the final I reckon then.
259 seems still pretty far though, it would have been cracking had it been around 200 odd more required.

 

[habibi hayya]

India seems intent on batting for Draw.

Disagree. That's perfect mix of aggression considering the wicket and our history abroad. They can easily accelerate if they stay for 30-45 more minutes.

2 is a bit too much, we don't have the best tail in the world.
I would say these two still need to be at the crease till the next session is over for us to have any chance of pulling this off.

 

[Justcrazy]

As I said before , draw is the Most likely result.

India does not have worst Tail either.

They still have to score 260 more runs. One more wicket and it'll be all tuk tuk.

India tail starts with Rohit @6

You can't go aggressive from start. You risk not lasting the whole way. Make sure we don't lose then go for the win if target is in reach.

6 by Kohli

The OZ must be getting nervous [MENTION=190]OZGOD[/MENTION]

 

[Aman]

If Aus get Kohli before 100, they should win it.

He's the wicket that wins the game.

 

[Sandeep]

If Aus get Kohli before 100, they should win it.

He's the wicket that wins the game.

Vijay is equally important. .

definitely,as he will get out between 100-119

What do guys think about swapping positions of Rahane and Dhawan?

Rehang looks more technically better equipped overseas for a opener and also dhawan plays spinners well and might find it easier to play pacers against the older ball?

 

[Suleiman]

Awkward moment between Virat and Haddin

 

[Gone]

Aussie Commentators still complaining about the M Vijay incident. Tbh i don't mind them complaining but when they blatantly brushed aside other wickets that were against India, its just annoying. And its been almost an hour since this incident.

 

[Gone]

OMG still complaining... they are brining it up every 2 minutes.

 

[Gone]

Back to star sports. cannot handle aussie commies.

 

[Gone]

Wow that kept low...

 

[jusarrived]

This Manjrekar is such a bloody jinxer

 

[Gone]

This guy is just class.

Nope . Dont mess with Rahanes position.

Get Rahul in .

 

[Buffet]

Uneven bounce has started now.

 

[Random Aussie]

Not after seeing that Lyon ball run along the ground

 

[Gone]

Get Rahul in .

Ideally would want dhawan to be dropped.

 

[Random Aussie]

We don't even like them, I can't imagine why a non Australian would listen to their bewafookana

 

[Gone]

Marsh bowling his first over today.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Awesome batting from Kohli and Vijay..

Win is truely on...

 

[Gone]

Tbf didn't expect them to be bad. But today it hit the nerve.

 

[jusarrived]

I would give him one more game at most .

KL Rahul is all class . The only question is he ready for Intl cricket ? But technically hes one of the best we have . Very strong of the backfoot too.

Haven't seen KL Rahul, but i think Dhawan got enough chances tbf, we need to give someone else a chance. Dhawan normally plays one okay innings then doesn't perform for a while.

 

[JaDed]

Dhawan is not surviving the pacers and next is at brisbane the ball is going to bounce like hell KL Rahul played his majic knock at a good bowling pitch i think we need to drop Dhawan he is clueless really.

 

[Gone]

VJ shouldn't throw it, get a 100 here!

 

[SankarReddy]

50+ % say its AUS win. concur. this partnership is so vital for India to be in the game to make a draw.

 

[Gone]

Hahaha Warnie on Star Sports now, not even mentioning the LBW incident, a few minutes ago he was on the aussie channel complaining non stop. Now he is upping the indians :/

Guess you gotta target your audience and its only natural.

 

[leatherface58]

Kohli has been highly impressive as a captain. Maybe not while managing his bowlers (who bowled terribly to be fair) but as a batsman, he has been great.

 

[Junaids]

Cricketjoshila,
We might be using a different metric here.

Victor Trumper was like a Colossus besides his peers. There is every reason to think that such a figure would dominate any era.

The Ford Model T was the greatest car of all time because of how it made car ownership possible for one in six Americans compared with one in one hundred previously. It's obviously less refined than a 2014 car, but its designer would presumably clean up today too.

The best players adapt. Trumper would adapt in about a week to today's flat predictable pitches like Adelaide. It would be very hard for Tendulkar or Lara to adapt to a 1908 sticky dog, where the pitch has been rained on and has dried out into an unpredictable corrugated roof of a surface.

Channel 9 knows that cricket fans will watch regardless whilst they need the over the top idiots for the the casuals.

 

[Gone]

ow clarke struggling with his hamstrings.

Poor lad.

 

[Convict]

Clarke does not look good

 

[Justcrazy]

where are those who said Aussies will this ?

 

[Sandeep]

Clarke should have never played this test. Should have started at brisbane

 

[jusarrived]

Clarke is really pushing it . He should not be playing this series imo .

 

[Convict]

So both Marsh boys in at the Gabba

 

[Caved12]

Poor Clarke, keeps on getting injured. Hope it is nothing too serious.

 

[Justcrazy]

All signs of a draw ,.

Post Number 67

Long back I said its a draw

 

[Gone]

Clarke should have never played this test. Should have started at brisbane

Agreed. He should have made sure he was 100% fit. Think long term too

 

[Convict]

Agreed. He should have made sure he was 100% fit. Think long term too

Clarke will never be 100% and there is no long term

 

[Justcrazy]

Its already a draw mate !

 

[leatherface58]

Pup looks bad. Should skip this series and play a few games in the tri-series to play the WC.

 

[Gone]

Lyon is gonna kill the umpire soon

 

[IgnitedMind]

umpires call..

Channel 9 rant begins again..

 

[Justcrazy]

Clarke will never be 100% and there is no long term

will Clarke play next Test ?

I think Doolan may come in.

 

[jusarrived]

Vijay taking a lot of risk not offering a shot

 

[Sandeep]

Woah Warne was he'll bent on giving that out. Luckily he's not the umpire

 

[Saeed]

Time for a hattrick. Indian needs to get out now so I can enjoy the game.

 

[Convict]

will Clarke play next Test ?

I think Doolan may come in.

He won't and Shaun Marsh will come in

 

[Gone]

Clarke will never be 100% and there is no long term

World cup? They need him there. Atleast be fit to survive a game?

 

[leatherface58]

Its already a draw mate !

Wouldn't be surprised if someone brainfades and India lose wickets in a cluster even in the final session.

Example : India v England at Lord's or England v Sri Lanka at Lord's

 

[Justcrazy]

Clarke should skip next Test and see how it is going

 

[Gone]

Good Fifty VK

Now go for the big one...
