I am surprised no was following Namibia vs UAE
Namibia 164
UAE 147/6 (41.0 ov) at end of day one

but for this side match of Aus-Ind Channel 9 documentary has started

India has won the toss and will bat first

BTW: the match is on 24th Jan but I am on 23 still
 
India has done well against Australia (tests/one days/20-20s) only when batting first. So atleast we have started on the right foot. Now, if only we can capitalize and bat well
 
Channel 9 commentators saying India made right desicion playing 5 bowlers as this is a batting pitch. Aus has 4 bowlers

Kashif Bhai...Try and say good luck to India once. Life will be the same and nothing will change for you

I hope it is a interesting match, culminating with a Indian win.

Sehwag to face the first ball. Pathan opening with him. I think Pathan will be out in 3-4 overs
 
Good positive thinking and first one hour is crucial as that is the time the pitch helps pace bowling.
 
salaaam bhaiyya logon, aaj to veeru ka din hai, bahot maar marega kangaruon ko. Adelaide me veeru se veeru dada ban jaayega hamar birendarva.
 
ponting's biggest mistake all series long has been not giving clark the new ball.

I think that’s the difference between a captain who has won many matches...Ponting is trying to get back MJ in good form..and he’s giving MJ every opportunity to deliver..rather than try and hide him.

At least that’s what I think.
 
If we are able to negate MJ’s over this time around I feel his confidence will definitely be down for next time..that’ll make one less bowler in aus team..and we need that...hope we are able to do that...Viru needs to deliver today..along with fab 3 hopefully
 
Sehwag with an insdie edge missing the stump and then a four to point
Ind 23-0 after 4 overs

Very surprising to see Johnson take the new ball. He keeps dishing those wide and low full tosses.

Nothing...It is just a Uttar Pradesh bhaiyaa way of saying Virender
 
Only 2 slips in the first morning… *****y Ponting has gone defensive. Oh man what a loss at Perth has done to him :))

3 slips for Shewag now
 
Clark will or should be coming next over or over after depending if Ponting decides to give Johnson or Lee the rest.
In 34-0 after 7.2 overs

7.3 Johnson to Pathan, OUT, caught! That was an excellent ball from Johnson, the length on off stump drew Pathan forward and the ball bounced and seamed away from the left-hander, Pathan defended with the bat a little away from his body and the outside edge was easily taken by Gilchrist
IK Pathan c Gilchrist b Johnson 9 (21b 2x4 0x6) SR: 42.85
 
Lets see if RD can hold his end, all I can do is pray for Viru Shewag to bat for atleast another 20 overs. That will kick start some good first innings batting
 
Channel 9 commentators are trying to put their curse on Viru..come on fellas...stay put boys..need to bat long and long..

Yes Shewag not looking comfortable against Clark.

But today is veeru's day. Hopefully he will make everyone proud.
 
so was there an edge in LBW? Dravid Lucky? I am with you Asad Rauf!
Ind 53-1
 
OMG OMG cheating umpires OMG OMG .. no inside edge OMG OMG... Kumble is a cheating captain OMG OMG

Rauf is biased against the Aussies.
 
replays say no edge and Dravid could be out but Asad Rauf gets the benefit
 
RD quite lucky...hope he cashes in…Asad got fooled by the sound of bat hitting the boot.

jokes aside .. rauf couldn't give that .. two noises created enough doubt .. he doesn't have hot spot or super-slow-motion !
 
I'm not watching this match but how is pitch playing ?
 
India looking good for 583+ Not much happening and if the teams want viewers then they should think about it
Ind 65-1 after 19.3 overs
 
I dont get what Dravid is thinking.. a full ball on the leg and he defends it.. he is not going to get LBW. what is he worried about.. why canhe push for a single or score more at least on a bread and butter ball like this on the leg comes..

did the bowler show sportsman spirit by telling him what ball he was going to bowl? Please don't judge Dravid's batting so quickly

good for batting .. this match will either be a draw or an indian win .. don't see the ozzies getting 20 wickets here.
