[cricket.mad]

Excellent stuff from Aaron

 

[Justcrazy]

98 / 1

These two looking good , but need to concentrate.

 

[Convict]

The Watson special.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Brilliant bowling by Ashwin.

He is making the batsmen come forward which he didn't use to do in the past.

Got a wicket too.

 

[IgnitedMind]

lol watson

 

[Sandeep]

Same old story, we never change! Sad batting by lower middle order and toothless bowling

 

[Stark]

Yeh Dhawan nahi sudhar sakta with his celebrations..

 

[cricket.mad]

Bits gone

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashwin gets a wicket

 

[Sandeep]

Thanks Watson for gifting it away

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Even though a wicket has fell, Aussies can easily rack up 500.

Things look easy for them.

We must sustain pressure.

 

[Sandeep]

I enjoyed the celebration from Dhawan.. That twirl )

 

[cricket.mad]

Watson looked well set..but gifted it away..

 

[cricket.mad]

Kohli is a OTT guy..cant control his emotions

 

[Random Aussie]

Standard Watson innings there, looked a million bucks, got to between 20 and 40 then out.

 

[Abhilash93]

Well bowled Ashwin. Created pressure with some good balls.

Why did you not pick him Kohli

 

[Random Aussie]

Kohli apparently dishing out some verbals there. I approve.

Wanted to please a sharma so picked a sharma..

 

[Random Aussie]

Varun Thomson going for plenty.

 

[Random Aussie]

However, Indian bowlers should be happy that no matter how badly they bowl none of them will be worst bowler in the match.

 

[Electron]

beauty from ashwin

 

[Romali_rotti]

If we get Smith here, then Game ONNN

 

[Electron]

Smith's footwork looks ppsitive.

Interesting battle between Ashwin vs Smith.

Rogers looks scratchy against off spin.

Let's see what happens.

 

[Justcrazy]

119 . 2

Rogers need to stay here and get a big one

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ours pacers are pathetic.

5rpo we are conceding.

Mitch Marsh should feel quite comfortable.

He's used to coming in at 4 for bugger all and with hamstring problems.

 

[IgnitedMind]

!!

This is great...

 

[Random Aussie]

Malcolm Yadav gets Rogers

 

[Random Aussie]

Game is at an interesting stage now

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Wicket.

Yaaaaaayyyyyy

 

[Snow]

Umesh is a wicket taker, not sure why wasn't he even in squad in England.

 

[BlackThunder]

Yessss!!!!!!

We have these Aussies on the floor #BleedBlue #NoRain

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Umesh is a wicket taker, not sure why wasn't he even in squad in England.

We are fools that's why.

But both his wicket deliveries today were bad ones to be honest.

 

[Varun]

Shaun Marsh is their Rohit Sharma.

He was the only bat who somehow managed to perform worse than our team during the last tour. If we gift him even a 50 here it's criminal, though he did help Vijay climb from 30 to 103 to 144 thanks to two dropped catches.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Shaun Marsh
Mitch Johnson
Starc

3 lefties.

Interesting.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rogers gone

Shaun Marsh is really odd.

He'll fail in the easiest of conditions and fluke a century in incredibly difficult conditions (on a Sri Lankan turner and in Centurion).

He'll either get out for nothing or score a century

1st one wasn't IMO.

Quick, Short and cramped Warner for room, at the exact same spot where he was out last match (but wasnt given).

 

[Romali_rotti]

Yesssssss

 

[Romali_rotti]

Get Smith now and the game is ours....................

 

[Electron]

Feel let down by Ishant this session. He was the worst on a wicket that suits him.

 

[Varun]

Shouldn't let them get away now. Smith is especially crucial.

Ok...I guess...

Weakness of batsman counts....not what looks great to our eyes.

Fine...1 wicket was okay.

Even the second one was planned with the leg slip on.

Cricinfo says even 2nd wicket should get some credit

 

[Justcrazy]

India on top here .

 

[Swanny]

Ashwin is bowling well & shaun marsh is a leftie.
Interesting battle

 

[trogger]

For the experience they have at test and first class level watto and rogers routinely get out to some ordinary shots at awful times.

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Aussies get to 350 at least here.

 

[JaDed]

Why is George Bailey omitted and Marsh picked again and again from a neutral perspective Bailey will score the same as Marsh or Rogers or Watto and might be better.

 

[Electron]

With Aaron and Umesh bowling, Aussie tail won't wag long. Two more wickets, and match is ours.

[JaDed]

after 3 wickets is the problem for India we struggle after this point...I remember Umesh doing well last time too thank god they don't have Clarke Hussey and Ricky..

 

[Justcrazy]

Indians on the field , final session

 

[Convict]

Because Bailey is worse than both Rogers or Watto

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

India on top here .

No bro.

We have the tendency to give runs fast and every team's tail wags against us.

England went from 294-9 to 450 all out in 1st test.

When its India bowling, it ain't over until its over.

 

[trogger]

Bailey is awful at this level, can't seem to score a run in tests without hitting the ball in the air.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

But we didn't get these 3 wickets with new ball.

Plus no Hussey, Clarke and Ponting to torture us.

There is SOME hope.

Let's see.

 

[Convict]

Marsh actually has some shield form leading into this.

I think Burns should get a run in the team though. Not as an opener but it's time. I'm not fully convinced but he deserves a run.

Rogers to stay as an opener.

 

[trogger]

Can Aussies get to 350 at least here.

The injury carrying marsh bro's and haddin who hasn't hit a run for a year are all thats left, if india get smith soon we are likely stuffed.

 

[Convict]

Bailey is awful at this level, can't seem to score a run in tests without hitting the ball in the air.

He's the same at shield level.

 

[JaDed]

For the experience they have at test and first class level watto and rogers routinely get out to some ordinary shots at awful times.

This is Rogers highest score here i guess so we can cut him lil slack ,but yeah Watto is really weird.

 

[Justcrazy]

How is ashwins action ?

 

[JaDed]

I wonder if Aus might be taking Indian bowling too lightly and approaching the game aggressively.

 

[Romali_rotti]

How is ashwins action ?

Much better than Ajmals..

 

[IgnitedMind]

Cricinfo says even 2nd wicket should get some credit

Why are asking SIF to even say something positive about Indian cricket?

lol...

 

[trogger]

So frustrating with watto and rogers that they would have seen the radar and known a decent sized storm is coming after tea, we couldn't win the game today with the time they will get in but we sure could lose it today.

 

[Electron]

Yadav seems to be settling into a nice, effortless rhythm.

[JaDed]

If Bailey is worse than Rogers and Watto that is some batting situation for Aus considering Clarke is not going to be fit.Its not like Warner or Smith are always going to perform.Saying that Indian team right now have only Vijay and Kohli

Win or lose that's how we play.

Bailey is not technically good enough for Test cricket. Don't let one day form blind you.

There are more options than just Bailey.

Cloud cover , rain coming

 

[Electron]

Ashwin bowling beautifully.

I don't let Maxwell's LOI stuff fool me but may be i guess i see Bailey playing so slow wondering if he is better than Rogers apparently not is the mood.
