Australia vs India | 1st Final | CB Series | Sydney | 02/03/2008

[XFactor]

This looks like going the usual way.... Unless Tendulkar surprises us

 

[Random Aussie]

Yuvhack gone!!

At least he got to 10 though

 

[Random Aussie]

Cool. So, is the fine amount same for both genders?

Unfortunately

 

[Random Aussie]

You not watching live?
Bowler bowled way outside leg-side and Gilly tried to distract umpire by appealing for catch, umpire smiled and signaled wide!

No not watching live - all wicket keepers do that in ODI. Wonder why they bother, I can't ever remember it working...

 

[Indiagem]

Yuvi gone!! TV’s still not off, but cant watch India self destruct.

 

[Random Aussie]

Time for Rohit Sharma to make some runs with that lovely technique

 

[Indiagem]

RS and Tendulkar should do the trick now.

hey, all those people that arnt living in australia, are you guys watching the channel 9 feed?

How bad has Yuvraj's tour been? He has been hopeless vs Australia from start to finish, easily the worst batsman from either side - and most of the batsman have not been very good at all (Tendu and Hayden aside)

 

[purplehaze]

142 needed off 28.4 overs

The big question remains how fit he was. Not seeing him fielding at point was a good indication of his fitness. I anyways would bat for yuvi, he's class player and should be persisted with. On his day, he's a destructive player...

 

[purplehaze]

Sharma survives a run out chance. Classy fielding by Australians today, wonder what happened to them in previous games

Yeah he doesn't look fit - looks to be a bit overweight for a supposed elite fielder.....he has a knee problem no?

OZ's normally lift their games to a higher level in the finals...our team normally buckles under pressure

 

[purplehaze]

Yep, a knee problem.

 

[purplehaze]

No sledging/ fights/ stares/ bad decisions/ butt patting yet in this match.
Seems tomorrow we have to be content with just pure cricketing news in the newspaper!

Oh I am sure they will be something

 

[Indiafan]

for the fairer gender, they pay them $5000

 

[Random Aussie]

Yep, a knee problem.

Would kinda explain why his fielding was so bad in the Tests. Was very surprising.

Then again Australia played an injured Tait (according to cricket insiders) in the Perth Test and paid dearly for it so both teams have tried to gamble.

 

[Random Aussie]

Starting to look bad for Australia now

 

[purplehaze]

Starting to look bad for Australia now

All you need is just Sachin's wicket...

 

[Random Aussie]

Time for the Aussie bump catch!

And we need to get Dhoni too

nah....if we win the Indians will find something to whinge about. Maybe 'the grass was too green' or 'there were too many Australians in the crowd' or something along those lines will suffice if there is no sledging.

Yes Aussies dont whinge.

It is the We that is more funny.. lol

 

[Indiagem]

A match winning partnership between Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma; already 56 off 70 deliveries and counting… God bless them both.

 

[purplehaze]

96 needed off 19 overs... Sachin is going to be the key, although he isn't looking fully fit right now. I would prefer him taking a single less than calling for a runner...

 

[Indiagem]

I just hope that Tendu will get his elusive ODI century in OZland and take us to a win in partnership with RS.

Last thing that I want is Tendulkar getting injured in any way.

He is limping, lately it's been a usual sight in ODIs. Post 35th over, he usually struggles with fitness problems.

 

[wanted_desi]

I don't know he was refering "we" in India vs. Sa U-19 game, so is he from australia or SA?

I think Hash is of Pakistani origin, having a british citizenship as of now living in Pakistan. He loves Pakistan too much. He hates India very much.

I have seen him to have a very mature view of everything in life and he is very liberal in his view and he is not the taliban types.

 

[Random Aussie]

Australia nearly gone now - unless there is a traditional Indian collapse.

Blame has to go fairly and squarely on the middle order which has been not good enough yet again.

Indians will give Oz one outside chance for sure, we normally don't like one-sided matches!
meanwhile, Sachin cramping...

lol @ hash..'we'..????..ashamed to support pak team since its winning nothin..hence turned to a glory hunter eh?

pathetic mate..

we're owning the oz ass fr nw too..bttr switch ur allegiance to some other team..maybe the saffers..

 

[Indiagem]

Congrats RS for your timely 50

 

[Indiagem]

RS dont lose your wicket...You have a history of losign patience after reaching 50

 

[moumotta]

There is a funny thread on this WE mentality.

http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/showthread.php?t=52087

For some it is India VS Rest of the World so any one against India is us.

 

[Indiagem]

Sachin feeling cramps...comeon whats with the fitness....please play out the overs,

 

[purplehaze]

He's under cramps, but just got an extra run due to slight mis-field by Oz.

 

[F16]

He has just entered International Cricket and you have started to talk of history

 

[purplehaze]

Looks like Indian Thanks giving period has started. Rohit Sharma already offered 2 consecutive catches to Australians...

 

[Indiagem]

He has just entered International Cricket and you have started to talk of history

I think he has done that in 2-3 matches..I always wish him the best...

 

[Megadeth]

talk abt history..the lil maestro has just reached 90...and he has a history in losing the plot thereabouts...

tendu make it a big one this time1!!!

yes he needs to get his elusive 100...no need to do anything stupid...just take singles like Gilly did earlier in the series

 

[phoenix-suns]

Hash is going to cry in the dark room if aus lose today. LOL.

 

[phoenix-suns]

Aussies are being thrashed... Hash, Iqbal'sh, muda.... look for a dark room guys. LOL

 

[Megadeth]

Hash is going to cry in the dark room if aus lose today. LOL.

lol..together with all other "we"s in PP...wonder who they'll support when pak host the aussies... ) ) ....

i hlaf expect some posts by "ex-Pak supporters" like "'our' batsmen like Hayden will destroy the pak attack and 'our' Lee will own their batsmen.."..
Us indians wud nvr stoop to a lvl where opposition playin against pak becomes a "we" for us..lol..we are always supporting india..period..

 

[Random Aussie]

Hmm surely the Indian team is doing something against the rules?

 

[Random Aussie]

Just about done - well played Sharma. Big time game, side in trouble and he has delivered.

 

[Indiagem]

Tendu take 2 more singles and give us one of your 100s

 

[Indiagem]

But for that Original We's should agree to tour and play with the Fake We's

 

[purplehaze]

Lee bowls a beamer to Sachin, hits Sachin on shoulder. Umpires chatting with Ponting, and changing ball immediately!
So have fans got the spice that has been missing so far in this match?

 

[Indiagem]

tendu just take 1 more single

 

[purplehaze]

and Rohit survives a run out chance .....

funny how the ball slips at 143K’s every time the side needs it.

 

[Indiagem]

why are they taking risky singles...damn

 

[purplehaze]

cheers ....

 

[Indiagem]

Congrats Tendulkar...You make India proud..Well done...

RS well played...Well done....

Also as correctly mentioned by Greig, he bowled two yorkers previous over, so cant be lack of control.

 

[Indiagem]

What happened to Mr. Haddi Number Bees aka bones20 prediction of < 35 score of Tendulkar?

lol he might be crying too in a dark room

Happy to lose dude. I take a bow.

 

[Indiagem]

I think Tendulkar needs Manjrekar to irritate him and give a good innings...

 

[Daoud]

Tendulkar and Sharma have been batting very well. Particularly impressed with Sharma

 

[volcyz]

Good century by Tendulkar

fortunately Harper was standing at square leg, else he would have given it LBW

 

[switchblade]

We won ! TONdulkar does the trick..

 

[purplehaze]

Ponting quotes "dew" as the first reason for loss!

MoM Sachin, all praises for Rohit Sharma!

 

[Daoud]

Well done India and well played Tendulkar and Sharma

 

[phoenix-suns]

nah....if we win the Indians will find something to whinge about. Maybe 'the grass was too green' or 'there were too many Australians in the crowd' or something along those lines will suffice if there is no sledging.

Now Ponting's excuse for losing the match is "DEW". LOL.

 

[Megadeth]

All the "we"s are now in the U-19 final thread pretending to be saffers and supporting them against our boys... some of the the most pathetic characters i've seen among men..

 

[fight_club]

congrats India and well done sachin. The more i see of Rohit sharma the more i like him whats more i think he is playing at the right position. you guys have to sort out your batting order little bit Utthapa has been criminally wasted get him at No.6 full stop get sehwag in for yuvi.

that was a commanding win and sterling performance by Sachin after a long time augers well for India. Hayden meanwhile can do with some grass !

 

[Daoud]

Megadeth, that whole 'we' business is just fun and he does it to whoever is playing India or England. It really shouldnt bother you but it clearly does. Stop whinging

Daoud,

Nobody is whinging. We are making fun of hash and others who made those funny comments. Whinging word has been used for pretty much everything i guess.

zindabad india!
