Australia vs India | 1st Test | MCG | 26/12/11 | Day 1

[Ambi]

Inconsistent bowling from indians

 

[Bashira_taeli]

It would be funny if they gave Tendy out forehead before wicket tomorrow. I would feel bad for Tendy but geez it would be funny

He has been given out like that. Saw it one youtube this morning.

 

[Strike!]

Peter Siddle is better at playing the new ball than certain established batsman it has to be said.

 

[Ambi]

Poor stuff from indians after picking up few wickets

 

[Random Aussie]

Siddle>most of our batters in terms of application

Handy partnership, Haddin finally growing a brain!

 

[chaiwala]

plumb

 

[Random Aussie]

Lmao that was plumb

 

[iHammad]

Wow..that was out

 

[iHammad]

that was a HUGE appeal from the Indians! )

 

[Ambi]

Erasmus is not showing any partiality

 

[AZ]

) )

oh dear.

 

[Random Aussie]

Hahahahahaha

 

[zzebie]

wow, that was out.

 

[skyhigh]

Siddle doing a great job of frustating Indians.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

it might hurt india and bcci one haddin in then he will deal with indian bowler...

 

[Ambi]

Sweet words came out of zaheers mouth

 

[jusarrived]

its not fun watching cricket without a few bad decisions ..Why are some hell bent on changing it is beyond me .

 

[Ambi]

Indian bowlers are not good enough to utilize helpful conditions

 

[Romali_rotti]

&&& Indian attack as always toothless against the tail...

 

[IndianWillow]

The DRS is useful, but the issue is surely being overdone here. The comments of some of the posters makes you feel that in the pre technology era every match was controlled by the financially sounder cricket board ( which was England and Australia back then) by buying umpires and that we should treat every past test result with skepticism. Much less it is said about the era of home umpires, the better.

 

[OZGOD]

Lmao that was plumb

They just have to suck it up like us

 

[Mr Mute]

pffftt... Australia get one back...

 

[OZGOD]

iPhone 4 updating to iOS 5. Apparently very common problem but Apple not interested in warning or helping or retaining customers. I hope they go bankrupt.

I saw the Hussey one but meh, sometimes that's the way it goes. I just felt for Cowan because i wanted him to get a debut hundred. But hey there is no doubt if you hit it in the middle of the bat.

I've been avoiding updating to iOS5 for that very reason.

 

[Ambi]

)poda cheruka

 

[Random Aussie]

Somewhere on an Indian forum someone will be posting Haddin is a cheat for not walking.

Man that was funny

 

[skyhigh]

The team whose tail wags will win the series

 

[Romali_rotti]

I cant believe that PLUMB LB was knocked back shi* umpiring...

 

[Justcrazy]

50 runs partnership

 

[Romali_rotti]

[Justcrazy]

Siddle has overtaken haddin .

 

[Random Aussie]

All bow to the great Peter Siddle

 

[skyhigh]

Aussie tail is up and wagging.

 

[Justcrazy]

[Random Aussie]

Romali might be good 15 or 20 years older than you

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia have got back, thanks to siddle

 

[jusarrived]

Come back fresh tomorrow and clean them up , overall we are still a touch ahead at this stage

 

[OZGOD]

geez Sid has some mongrel eh

 

[Ambi]

Looks like whole indian population in india is on the ground

 

[Justcrazy]

India would be coming tomorrow, they would be happy to nail Australia under 350 here. They have to be happy, cannot do better

 

[Ambi]

Good partnership from both the batsmen.

 

[Justcrazy]

Its over..... 277 /6

 

[Justcrazy]

Siddle.... well not much to say other than he took it away to a great extent

 

[velu]

277/6 ..

Siddle made it as australia's session.

 

[Ambi]

Romali might be good 15 or 20 years older than you

aunty why are you getting upset

 

[Justcrazy]

India would look to get the tail out early tomorrow, it would be important.

 

[velu]

aunty why are you getting upset

sehwag is younger than sachin
den you r auntie's aunty )

 

[Asif321]

Good Stuff From Haddin and Siddle Specialy Siddle

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhoni should be satisfied....

 

[Ambi]

sehwag is younger than sachin
den your auntie's aunty )

no sachin is his big daddy )

 

[skyhigh]

Australia will score 350 tomorrow. Going to be an interesting match if Indian batting sticks to its reputation

 

[Zamee]

as long as sehwag is there, it'l be a flat pitch. If he goes out, the pitch will become bouncy, unplayable!

King Pair

 

[velu]

King Pair

ball in not swinging
and u r feeding one anti-sehwag troll here :ambi

 

[James]

Hussey is such a gentleman

Hahahahahaaaaaaaaa er no.

 

[leatherface58]

indians are generally bothered by the swing+bounce. there is some swing with the new ball though not england-like swing. the bounce is slightly disconcerting. but nothing "lethal" like the cape town pitch or even hobart. so should be a good test match.

 

[Karun]

He has been given out like that. Saw it one youtube this morning.

He is already been given out like that...Infact...He has been given out as Shoulder before Wicket also once...

 

[AZ]

Australia shading it with this partnership, first hour tomorrow will be key.

If the Indians can run through them then they'd be in the driving seat.

 

[Sherlock]

So disappointed with Sharma. He couldn't even hit the 143k's mark consistently. Wouldn't be surprised if he continues this form and Varun replaces him.

 

[AZ]

I believe Varun is injured?

 

[Random Aussie]

Hard to draw too many conclusions from that day, India would be very happy with that performance first up in a Test series, given their history. I thought the bowling was talented but inconsistent, there were times they looked quite lethal and times where it looked pedestrian.
Pleasing to see both quicks still bowling fast at the end. The trundler did his damage in the middle.

For us, 6/277 is a decent effort by our current standards. Ponting and Clarke got good balls, Warner and Marsh went out the traditional Aussie way attacking. Cowan and Hussey were robbed so hard to judge them.

The problem is even if we get to 350 it doesnt look that great when you look at the Indian batting and how nice this pitch will be to bat on the next couple of days. Still, slight edge to India I would say. If these teams had no history you would call it even.

Its a pretty bouncy track, I havent seen this much bounce in the G during the last 5 odd years...

 

[Itachi]

King Pair

yup. Only 2 options. King pair or king century....

But sehwag is sehwag. He is the key to victory.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

So disappointed with Sharma. He couldn't even hit the 143k's mark consistently. Wouldn't be surprised if he continues this form and Varun replaces him.

Just saw his figures or saw him bowl as well? He bowled some absolute peaches.

He has been bowling good since WI series but just not getting wickets.

 

[Hasnain_786]

umesh yadav = ?

 

[Poison]

I was only there for a couple hours but the atmosphere was incredible.

 

[duostyle]

The F was wrong with Ponting at the start, falling all over the place.

 

[jeetu]

Glad to see no injured bowler on Day1. Better result than I hoped for in Day1.

 

[Mohsin]

277/6 v indian bowling attack on day 1 of 1st test.........id be very disappointed

 

[Saurav]

so disappointed with sharma. He couldn't even hit the 143k's mark consistently. Wouldn't be surprised if he continues this form and varun replaces him.

fastest 146,aveerage 143 dunno how much u watched

 

[ads101]

decent by australia, but really too many got starts to not go on to make a big score

Reckon Australia have the advantage, as I think they'll get comfortably over three hundred which is defendable on this sort of pitch.

 

[Markhor]

Good even days of Test cricket but Australia lost some cheap wickets, plus there were a couple of dubious decisions.

 

[JibranAnsari]

India will win this match easily.
