Welcome to day 2 of Australia vs India

Aus-277/6
Ed Cowan 68
Ricky Ponting 62

Umesh Yadav 3-96
Zaheer Khan 2-49

 

[TheHK16]

aus should look to add another 100 than skittle the indians out for under 150

 

[Love Pakistan]

Australia should be looking to get 350 at the moment!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Will be a good opening session of play and one that could potentially decide the match. The Aussies need to get around the 350 mark, anything less and the Indians have the advantage before they decide to bat.

I reckon we will see Teenda come and go before tea today.

 

[majiz]

Australia need well over 400 imo, can see Dravid and co batting for days on this road.

 

[Hasnain_786]

the first hour is gonna be crucial if the Australians get a partnership i could see them scoring 420+

 

[OZGOD]

After Hussey and Cowan were thiefed out I would've been happy with 300. 350 would give us about parity I reckon.

 

[Looney]

If India beats Australia , Pakistan will go up the rankings quicker but i see most Pakistanis still supporting Australia .

 

[DeadlyVenom]

We don't need their help. We will go up the rankings slowly and patiently

 

[Looney]

They are not helping us , we are helping them by supporting the Indian team


Anyway , i think i will support Indian win over Australia this series . No draws If they disappoint me I will troll the Indian trolls . It is a win win situation for me actually .

 

[JibranAnsari]

Australia will get out under 310 and India will score 450 on this track,hoping for a kohli hundred.

 

[Anwar_194]

How do I listen to Aus commentary? I am watching willow cricket

 

[chaiwala]

 

[majiz]

Big wicket.

 

[Bullet Drive]

out

 

[Bullet Drive]

It's official, Haddin is in the shed.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Haddin of late been getting on my nerves.

 

[Bullet Drive]

James Pattinson, great bowler in.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Into the tail now. They should try to hit a few quicky and get the flat track bullies in.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Edged there.

 

[Bullet Drive]

37* Siddle is on fire.

 

[chaiwala]

lmao Wasim keeps calling Haddin "Hayden" ))

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good running.

 

[James]

Haddin is dump.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I'm not listening to Wasim and them lot. No Indians on AUS commentary team.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bolt 44kph. Siddle 35kph running speed!

 

[Bullet Drive]

AUS need to string a big partnership here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Wanna listen to Wasim commentate!

 

[Bullet Drive]

287-7. Waiting for Tony Greig to come back.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Siddle finding things very easy.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Nice ball there. Good call from Siddle. 38*. All-rounder in my view.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Single to Siddle. Interesting cricket here. 38*..

 

[Bullet Drive]

First run for Pattinson on his home turf.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Siddle is better than Teenda, he can find the gap with his edge!

 

[Random Aussie]

Isnt it about time for Jaheer to pull up lame and head home?

 

[Bullet Drive]

That should go in weekly sachin bashing thread ^

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on AUSTRALIA!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beauty from Yadav. Nice pace and length.

 

[Random Aussie]

Ripper ball from Malcolm Yadav

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

291/7

 

[Bullet Drive]

Richie Benaud, Tony Greig & Slater on.

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[Bullet Drive]

Siddle goes, great ball !

 

[IgnitedMind]

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Siddle gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Siddle

Gone for 41

 

[test_fan]

Brilliant bowling from Zaheer this morning, well played Siddle.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Well played Siddle. Lyon can bat a bit. Has 37* in FC cricket.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4th wicket for Jaheer

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hilfenhaus has some batting talent too. If Aus make 320 they'll be happy. 400 is ideal.

 

[Ruri]

Oh, I'd like to congratulate Yadav!


Congrats on the big 100!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pattinson needs to take the strike now somehow and score a few quick runs to get them 300 or over

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hilfenhaus averages 15. Pretty decent.

 

[Sledger]

Where the hell is Timothy 'McVeigh' Paine?

 

[IgnitedMind]

Zaheer is more important for us than any of the batsman we have...Hope he stays fit through out the series. Great bowling today...

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[Bullet Drive]

One handed shot for four this time.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Hilf off the mark with a

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Thrashed through covers with one hand for

Hilfy what a shot!

 

[test_fan]

Oh, I'd like to congratulate Yadav!


Congrats on the big 100!

Average 33, not bad by Indian standard

 

[Random Aussie]

Its slog time!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Zaheer hasn't even bowled THAT well to deserve a five-fer in my opinion.

 

[Ruri]

A good shot by Hilfenhaus. I remember him aggravating us at Lords two Ashes ago.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just what the Aussies need is to get a few quick runs on the board

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Zaheer is more important for us than any of the batsman we have...Hope he stays fit through out the series. Great bowling today...

History suggests that he won't!


But he has been bowling brilliantly in this test match

 

[Random Aussie]

Where the hell is Timothy 'McVeigh' Paine?

Still injured, his hand is wrecked

 

[Ruri]

Now the big question comes up. Can India cross 300 in an overseas test match for the first time since the West Indies tour?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Still injured, his hand is wrecked

Sheffield Shield?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Zaheer hasn't even bowled THAT well to deserve a five-fer in my opinion.

No, he's been bowling well.

Though, you could say that a wicket was gifted to him.

 

[majiz]

lol @ people who don't rate Zaheer.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sharma Holding on !

 

[IgnitedMind]

Ishanth in..

 

[Sledger]

lol @ people who don't rate Zaheer.

Yawn, 32 average for a new ball bowler - show me the next one.

 

[Random Aussie]

Have a go Patto! Stop blocking

 

[Sherlock]

What the hell happened to Sharma?

Was such a great prospect with pace, line and length.

Really is a shadow of himself.

 

[Random Aussie]

Yawn, 32 average for a new ball bowler - show me the next one.

To put it in context, he is about as good as Peter Siddle over his career, similar average, similar wickets per Test. Been very good the last few years which gives you an idea of how rubbish he used to be.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Dislike tail-enders who just block everything.

 

[majiz]

Yawn, 32 average for a new ball bowler - show me the next one.

His form in recent years has been better. And around 30 isn't bad considering he plays at home on flat pitches.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hilfenhaus on strike. Do something!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Swing and a miss from Hilfo. Don't give Zaheer his five-fer.
