[ddss]

Haddin never dissapoints














to dissapoint

 

[Justcrazy]

Zaheer khan makes this attack look so different.

 

[Rana]

Dhoni does an Akmal!

 

[praveen]

spiderman-3 version Zaheer..

 

[Rana]

Rubish pace!

 

[Rana]

yuvraj in the crowed

 

[Ambi]

Teams making their best to ensure honors are always even.
Match at crossroads again..

australia is looking like the team to win this match

 

[Rana]

what happaned to the bharat brigade?

 

[Usman]

Its been so long since ive seen an entertaining Test match!

I don't call this entertainment - this is two weak teams with serious issues. You may enjoy watching wickets fall quickly, but this is bad from both teams. They both display disturbing levels of concentration and skill. If you like watching only sixes and wickets, t20 is you game. This sort of pathetic display from both sides is not good test cricket.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[NJamal]

Australia need at least 100 more runs to be on safe side.

 

[Rana]

well bowled

 

[NJamal]

Zaheer's hair style is rubbish.

you are very correct

 

[shobiii]

With the bat? Makes Chris Martin look like Bradman.

loved that wagonwheel for CM's 3 runs...

 

[Rana]

Ashwin invents the 'Sodaku' meaning the flick

 

[Saurav]

attack Siddle atleast Dhoni

 

[Ambi]

One thing dravid should learn from ponting ,hussey,sehwag,etc is that there is no need to waste 200 deliveries to score 60 runs

 

[Mobashir]

Australia should try to bat as long as possible to have any chance of winning this match for two reasons :

1. The pitch will deteriorate, so batting on day 5 will be harder for Indians.
2. Australia has only 4 bowlers. And as the only three fast bowlers are taking the wickets, they will need rest
But it's looking unlikely!

 

[Rana]

yaadav is back

 

[Ambi]

attack Siddle atleast Dhoni

his captaincy is based on gandhian principle

 

[Rana]

all of pakistan as well

 

[Rana]

quality stroke

 

[Mobashir]

Shot of the day?

 

[Rana]

4 to hussey

 

[shobiii]

glorious huss

 

[Usman]

It's certainly not a wicket where you should be collapsing like a pack of cards. Sachin and Dravid showed for a while that the wicket is good to bat on and by no means impossible. But most batsman have played recklessly throughout the match. This is weak stuff from both sides.

 

[Ambi]

Australia has enough runs on the board to win this match

 

[Justcrazy]

213 lead now

 

[Saurav]

 

[Ambi]

Australia saved at 50 to 60 runs when they were fielding

 

[Ambi]

Anything over 250 is a good lead in this pitch

 

[Justcrazy]

10 overs to go, can India strike one more???

 

[ddss]

dropped the match?

 

[praveen]

oh dear that was a sitter

 

[Justcrazy]

I think Aussies would love to get another 25 - 30 here at stumps.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hussey dropped lol

 

[ddss]

Anything over 250 is a good lead in this pitch

yeah, even 250 would be a task

 

[Justcrazy]

Dravid has dropped the match

 

[praveen]

curse of commentators.. sourav went on about dravid's slip catching abilities..

 

[Justcrazy]

Yadav continues , Indian Zahid

 

[Justcrazy]

I think Aussies would love to be 245 ahead at stumps with 4 wickets intact

 

[Ambi]

India don't deserve to win this match as they wasted two big opportunity first with bat and second with ball after picking up early wickets

 

[ddss]

curse of commentators.. sourav went on about dravid's slip catching abilities..

goes to show you how tense the match is

 

[ddss]

why isn't the speed showing up

 

[imshally81]

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Big one here

 

[Ambi]

oh dear that was a sitter

weak hearted cricketer

 

[ddss]

Good catch, Hussey is still the key though

 

[praveen]

good catch..

C'mon now Dhoni, please for god's sake be spot on with your captaincy..

 

[Rana]

no point dying wondering, give it a whack!

 

[ddss]

Is there no speed measuring in this series??

 

[Justcrazy]

Each run vital here

 

[SOSami]

Siddle gone.

With VVS in the Indian team, Aussies need at least 50 more.

Good pitch this.

 

[Rana]

Hussey needs a boundry and a single an over

 

[praveen]

Miss kumble Those fastish leg breaks ending in lbws.. Very effective in cleaning up the tail..

 

[Ambi]

curse of commentators.. sourav went on about dravid's slip catching abilities..

weak hearted cricketer,need to sharpen his fielding abilities rather than praising and advicing others

 

[Rana]

Hussey looking to operate his way

 

[Ambi]

Miss kumble Those fastish leg breaks ending in lbws.. Very effective in cleaning up the tail..

yes missing the fighter

 

[ddss]

India should try and get the Aussie tail before stumps

 

[ddss]

Hussey might just get an inside edge BOWLED

 

[Rana]

Yadav has a good yorker, if he can get it to swing it could be lethel

 

[Ambi]

Enough runs to trouble the indians

 

[shobiii]

Nylon >>>> Chris Martin

 

[Rana]

shwin takes out North

 

[praveen]

Alright, bring it on.. Lets start chasing already..

 

[Rana]

This carrot ball is very effective

 

[Ambi]

Australian bowlers will be pumped up when they come to ball

 

[shobiii]

c'mon huss lets do this

 

[Rana]

Hussey is going to explode.

 

[skyhigh]

Lion goes for a duck

 

[Rana]

need a few lusty blows

 

[Ambi]

Three crucial moments in the match where india failed to utilise the advantage

 

[doctordamor]

Why so glum indians fans? India in very strong position. This guy is good yadev, hope he can continue pace, lovely swing

 

[shobiii]

Pattinson protecting Hussey????

 

[ddss]

5 overs left for today

 

[Justcrazy]

219 runs lead here

 

[skyhigh]

Ponting and Hussey both have saved their carrier with this match. Good for Cricket
