[DeadlyVenom]

Wrong.

I lost my house

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

221/5

 

[chaiwala]

Time for Kohli to prove his Test selection.

 

[TheHK16]

rhino should be back for next test who would you drop?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Lyon on

 

[Blade]

Let's see what Kohli can do outside of India...

 

[chaiwala]

3 runs, nice shot Ishant

 

[TheHK16]

pattison, rhino and siddle what an attack

what if cummins was fit than who would be dropped

 

[talha3]

pattison, rhino and siddle what an attack

what if cummins was fit than who would be dropped

'rhino'

 

[TheHK16]

'rhino'

ryan harris

 

[Hasnain_786]

lets see what kholi can do remember umar akmal smashed siddle towards cow corner

 

[Blade]

Nice shot from Ishant Lara

 

[chaiwala]

Ishant actually playing alright...

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Sharma into double figures

 

[KingKhanWC]

Damn, missed the wicket. Aus on top bigtime now! Sharma still there. lol

 

[Blade]

lets see what kholi can do remember umar akmal smashed siddle towards cow corner

Let kohli score a test century, HELL..let him score a test fifty first and then we can start comparisons. Until then Kohli is an overrated tosser (atleast in the test arena - the real cricket)

 

[chaiwala]

Nice bouncer

 

[chaiwala]

Let kohli score a test century, HELL..let him score a test fifty first and then we can start comparisons. Until then Kohli is an overrated tosser (atleast in the test arena - the real cricket)

He's already scored two Test fifties.

 

[chaiwala]

for Kohli

 

[KingKhanWC]

Nice shot by Kohli. 4

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Whats the point of bowling Lyon here ?

 

[Blade]

good shot

 

[PennOne]

Lyon will be out. Australia will go for an all out pace attack in next test with Clarke bowling spin

 

[KingKhanWC]

Whats the point of bowling Lyon here ?

a few overs before the new ball. saving the pacers. Ideally not but Clarke has little choice with no Watson.

 

[Equinox]

Poor move bowling Lyon. Will just help Kohli get settled in. Yep the Aussies are missing Watson here.

 

[PennOne]

a few overs before the new ball. saving the pacers. Ideally not but Clarke has little choice with no Watson.

is watson injured? how long?

 

[Ruri]

Whats the point of bowling Lyon here ?

Because the new ball is coming up soon

 

[KingKhanWC]

is watson injured? how long?

I thought he was coming back but guess he hasn't fully recoverd, he will back next test hopefully.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Need to get Ishant Sharma the dangerman out.

 

[chaiwala]

I think full length is the way to go against Ishant.

 

[KingKhanWC]

I think full length is the way to go against Ishant.

Yep, Siddle nearly had him but was off line. Oh the days of the two W's, they knew how to clean up tailenders.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

What do you guys think should Lyon be picked in the next test against the spin master Indians?

 

[TheHK16]

lyon poses no threat lol

 

[chaiwala]

Lyon struggling, even against Ishant.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Clarke should bring himself on, he's good on cleaning up the tail

 

[KingKhanWC]

What do you guys think should Lyon be picked in the next test against the spin master Indians?

You have to have some kind of variety. Even though he doesn't test the Indians in first innings. If India are batting on day 5 on a broken pitch he will become threatning. A bit like Swann at the Oval day 5 in the summer.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

New ball coming soon.

 

[KingKhanWC]

India have a decent tail with Ashwin and Zaheer but against the newer cherry they shouldn't last too long but Sharma is still there!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Lyon common get some turn

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

You have to have some kind of variety. Even though he doesn't test the Indians in first innings. If India are batting on day 5 on a broken pitch he will become threatning. A bit like Swann at the Oval day 5 in the summer.

What do you think of Lyon? You think he has a bright future?

 

[talha3]

Kohli gone...

 

[Blade]

What a ball! Kohli gone!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on, we need some wickets here boys.

 

[chacha kashmiri]

'hint of reverse swing'

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Kohli looks good for a 50

 

[bluffmasterv2]

So this is the guy who is better than Umar Akmal

 

[IgnitedMind]

 

[Pakprideuk]

Kohli chutti.. go back to the flat pitches in India and play on the up and through the line matteee

 

[tauseefm]

Kohli gone!!!

 

[talha3]

Ishant still there like a rock

)

 

[Hasnain_786]

umar akmal is way better i rest my case.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great stuff from Hilfenhaus. Well done.

 

[Blade]

Should Aus even take the new ball? Hilf is making the old ball talk

 

[Bullet Drive]

Better than Umar Akmal

 

[tauseefm]

MS Dhoni is about to leave an in cutter . just wait and watch

 

[talha3]

Compared to the other wickets that have fallen today, it wasn't that good. But still a decent ball.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Its funny how ishanth is hanging in there...and rahul,laxman and kohli have gone..

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Oh no! Why Kohli why?

Seriously Kohli and Raina been given enough chances... why not Rohit Sharma the next Sachin??

 

[Bullet Drive]

New ball not needed but I say go for it and get Dhoni early!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Superb stuff from the Aussies.

 

[Random Aussie]

Wooo Hilfy!

Next Test is at SCG so Lyon has to play. I doubt he will play in Perth though. Watskn wont be back until Perth

 

[ads101]

Ishant still there like a rock

)

he's looking good out there

Get Rohit in there now, dunno why India are forcing him to make a name for himself in ODIs before allowing him to play tests.

 

[Sledger]

Only seen it on and off. Ishant looking seriously solid.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

So this is the guy who is better than Umar Akmal

Sir :umarakmal >>>>>>>> Kohli any day or night in Test

 

[Equinox]

Dhoni vs. the new ball will be interesting to watch

 

[Random Aussie]

What do you think of Lyon? You think he has a bright future?

He has a future for us but he is going to get smashed this series.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

MS. Dhoni my favorite batsman, he'll bash everyone

 

[KingKhanWC]

Dhoni with his bottom hand style should find it difficult if the Aussies pacers bang it in short of a length. He will counter attack for sure.

 

[Blade]

Like I said...overated tosser. Akmal sent Siddle into oblivion and forced the australian attack into submission. If it wasnt already agreed, I hope it is now.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Dhoni -- Technical batting wizard with Aussies taking the new ball

 

[chacha kashmiri]

trying to run it fine down to third man, like you do

dhoni to prove he can play with the tail and give sharma most the strike

 

[greekscavenger]

For somebody with such a high reputation and status like MS Dhoni...

He sure has some god awful technique

 

[KingKhanWC]

New cherry up for grabs.

 

[KingKhanWC]

For somebody with such a high reputation and status like MS Dhoni...

He sure has some god awful technique

He has no test cricket reputation.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Dhoni vs. the new ball will be interesting to watch

It only takes one over for Dhoni to make the new ball old

Dum a Dum Maskalander

 

[Random Aussie]

Like I said...overated tosser. Akmal sent Siddle into oblivion and forced the australian attack into submission. If it wasnt already agreed, I hope it is now.

Uh when was this? Which Test?

Umar v Australia is as overrated on here as Ishant v Australia

 

[greekscavenger]

I'm loving Sharma's way to deal with the bouncers.

Do a squat in the crease like you're taking a dump!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

^Word @ RA - Ishant averages 60+ in Australia

 

[Bullet Drive]

Keeper needs to come up now.

 

[Professor]

Uh when was this? Which Test?

Umar v Australia is as overrated on here as Ishant v Australia

He is talking about this:
