Australia v India l 2nd Test l December 17-21, 2014 l Brisbane

Warner 1 of 5 balls vs mighty indian bowling, qayamat ke nishani hai bhai,

 

[Noobosauras]

How are y'all enjoying the Channel 9 commentators by the way? They used to be bad, now they are beyond awful.

Mute all the way

 

[Noobosauras]

Ishant getting the respect he deserves. Thanksfully he didnt stare Warner after getting spanked for two fours.

 

[Random Aussie]

Weak appeal. Indians must learn to appeal like Aussies, even if it is the most ridiculous appeal ever.

Should get Anil "Spirit of cricket" Kumble in to teach them how to appeal every time there is a sweep shot. Or on one famous occasion, a cover drive for three was subjected to an anguished appeal for LBW.

All that didn't work. Now its time to learn from the masters of the art. onting

Sharma bowling filth.

The secret is the whole team needs to do it with conviction. And look incredulous that the umpire could give something so obviously out, not out. Then bowler should snatch his hat from the umpire like he doesn't want a blind fool touching his clothes

 

[Random Aussie]

Warner now averaging 50 in Test cricket.

 

[Zeshan547]

Warner and Roger combo is like Ferrari and Hundai. Strange but it somehow works.

 

[Random Aussie]

Remarkably similar average to Varun Thomson.

 

[Aman]

So the phainty begins

 

[OZGOD]

I wish the MIGHTY AND TALL ISHANT could bowl from both ends

 

[Random Aussie]

Warner and Roger combo is like Ferrari and Hundai. Strange but it somehow works.

Well it works when Warner is on strike

 

[Random Aussie]

Five boundaries later Ishant works out he might be better off bowling over the wicket.

 

[Varun]

Pujara dismissal, a few decisions in Adelaide like Rahane etc. Not sure if Aaron was out either.

Nah, Rahane was Erasermouse.

 

[steelo green]

Guys I just tuned in. What happened to the Indian batting?

 

[Aman]

How are y'all enjoying the Channel 9 commentators by the way? They used to be bad, now they are beyond awful.

How long before nine sign Ponting and Gilly?

 

[Romali_rotti]

FOr once why cant Indians just break this partnership early lol.......................... AHHHHHHHHHHHH they are going to waste the new ball.

 

[OZGOD]

How long before nine sign Ponting and Gilly?

Gilly is ok. Ponting talks too fast.

 

[Random Aussie]

How long before nine sign Ponting and Gilly?

If they do, they will just give them the standard orders to act like utter morons anyway. Most of the 9 commentators (aside from Ian Healy who nobody else would hire) are decent when not commentating on 9.

 

[Random Aussie]

Guys I just tuned in. What happened to the Indian batting?

Hazelwood bowled superbly, got Rahane early and wound up with five. A couple threw their wickets away.

 

[Electron]

Varun and Umesh are quite athletic for Indian fast bowlers.

 

[Aman]

LOL wth was that by Kohli 2

 

[Electron]

Umesh to replace Ishant.

 

[Electron]

LOL wth was that by Kohli 2

LOL.. deep down, every Indian player is an Afridi wannabe.

 

[OZGOD]

The MIGHTY AND TALL ISHANT has been removed from the attack after 2 overs. Bugger

 

[Aman]

LOL.. deep down, every Indian player is an Afridi wannabe.

Think he got overexcited by the new ball :afrdi

 

[Aman]

LOL.. deep down, every Indian player is an Afridi wannabe.

lol a lot of people would love it if Kohli played like Afridi

 

[Zeshan547]

Now just imagine if australia find another opener like warner instead of snail pace rogers, it will be nightmare for opposition bowlers.

 

[IAJ]

LOL.. deep down, every Indian player is an Afridi wannabe.

Strange things, umpire was gesturing like he was eating a ball?

 

[Electron]

Now that's some bulge in Warner's bat.

 

[OZGOD]

If they do, they will just give them the standard orders to act like utter morons anyway. Most of the 9 commentators (aside from Ian Healy who nobody else would hire) are decent when not commentating on 9.

In terms of who is worst to best IMO:

Healy - just bad
Brayshaw - should stick to aerial ping pong
Nicholas - wannabe Ozzie
Lee - Captain Obvious
Slater - talks too much, nonstop
Tubby - each way bet as to whether he will be decent or diabolical
Warne - ok when he isn't too jingoistic. He can be insightful at times
Chappell - prob the best of them

Some of the better ones who are no longer commentating regularly that I didn't mind were Bill Lawry and Richie. Don't mind Tom Moody either.

 

[Convict]

Gilly is ok. Ponting talks too fast.

I don't care that he talks too much- he's not an idiot

 

[MenInG]

Australia doing well - but still a big test for the batting

 

[Electron]

At this rate, Aussies will score 400 at the end of day's play.

 

[Suleiman]

Ishant "McGrath" Sharma back in form

 

[Electron]

Fast and Furious

 

[Aman]

C'mon

 

[Convict]

shocking shot

 

[Zeshan547]

That therad is closed? Why now?

 

[Aman]

shocking shot

Who do you think is better now? KW or Smith?

 

[Zeshan547]

Big but lucky wicket for indians, they have escaped a mighty phainty, but by law of averages warner was bound to fail at some point.

 

[Swanny]

Malcom umesh gets virendra warner

 

[Random Aussie]

Some random thread closing and moving here. Pakistan cricket style.

Malcolm Yadav gets Warner.

 

[Aman]

Will Marsh bat?

 

[Random Aussie]

Who do you think is better now? KW or Smith?

Who?

 

[Electron]

Umesh had twisted his ankle while delivering the wicket-taking delivery. COuld have been real painful, got lucky there.

 

[Aman]

Who?

Kane Williamson.

 

[IAJ]

Is the forum hacked or?

 

[Electron]

Nasty bouncer that from Aaron.

 

[IAJ]

India need to get Smith cheaply when he comes out and they will be well on top.

 

[Electron]

Look at that ankle... Can't believe he is standing up and bowling !

 

[Zeshan547]

How many balls before LBW wicket watson gets out?

 

[Random Aussie]

Kane Williamson.

Oh the chucking hobbit?

 

[cricket geek]

run rate above 5 an over.

 

[Aman]

Oh the chucking hobbit?

The one who scored more runs in one innings in the UAE than your captain did all series when Aus went to the UAE to get their yearly phainty in the SC

 

[Electron]

Into his 4th over, Umesh is already the fastest bowler in the match.

 

[Aman]

Yadev and Ashwin should have played ahead of Shami and Karn in the first Test.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Into his 4th over, Umesh is already the fastest bowler in the match.

whats his quickest deliver timed at ?

 

[Swanny]

Umesh' bowls the fastest ball of the match so far 147.8 kph

 

[Justcrazy]

Yadav is quick

 

[Electron]

whats his quickest deliver timed at ?

148+ from Umesh the fastest of the match so far.

MJ and Aaron are behind with 146+. I expect Aaron to hit 150 once he loosens up.

 

[Convict]

Who do you think is better now? KW or Smith?

I'm a technical purist at heart so KW.

Pretty close though. Lineball decision.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rogers set for a good score here.

 

[Swanny]

Ashwin will get rogers .. i hope.

 

[Random Aussie]

The one who scored more runs in one innings in the UAE than your captain did all series when Aus went to the UAE to get their yearly phainty in the SC

Oh right. All hail the hobbit! He's actually pretty good.

 

[Justcrazy]

400 is not bad score by India , not many expected them to get 300 .

 

[Justcrazy]

If Aussies have to win this game , they will need to get a solid lead here.

 

[Zeshan547]

Now it shows no matter how good a score indian batsman make overseas with this bowling it will still prove insufficient, Oz going at 5. Any decent bowling line up wouldn't allow such easy runs after their batsman posted 400 plus in 1st inning especially on a wicket like this. With this bowling best indians can hope is a draw. This bowling can't even have lid on scoring rate let alone taking wickets.

 

[Gone]

Anyone else notice drone is bit more aggressive and more active in the field today?

Kohli effect? Pressures on?

 

[IgnitedMind]

Dhoni being very aggresive...

 

[Electron]

Wow... such a beautiful shot from Watson.

 

[BlackThunder]

Dhoni looking proactive in a overseas Test, am I seeing straight?

 

[Justcrazy]

47 overs left in the day , Aussies would look to be at least 220 by stumps

 

[BlackThunder]

Pieces looks volunerable but I reckon we have to get him in the next 20 to 25 deliveries otherwise he might get away.

 

[Convict]

Oh right. All hail the hobbit! He's actually pretty good.

Samwise is pretty useful

 

[Romali_rotti]

This is just painful to watch what a beating...

 

[Justcrazy]

India still have 327 runs in the bank

 

[Random Aussie]

Danger time for Watson, he has made a handsome score of 20+.
