[KingKhanWC]

Is Marius a BCCI chump?

 

[Blade]

Omg!! Howler alert!!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Cummins, Pattinson, Harris and Watto attack will be nice to watch.

 

[skyhigh]

Brilliant fightback from Australia. Great turn around. Has Australia nailed India

 

[KingKhanWC]

Right idea though, aim for the wooden sticks now.

 

[Love Pakistan]

Its not close, its plumb u stupid commie!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Erasmus pulling a Bucknor here but you wouldn't see Australian fans crying or whinning for the next 4 years.

 

[Random Aussie]

Wow the umpiring is not going our way at all. There has to be a psychological component to umpiring with DRS and then umpiring without it.

Ashwin doesnt keep the short ball down.

 

[Strike!]

From twitter.

From his first inns - 148 away to Pak in Jan 2006. RT @AltCricket STAT-ATTACK: MS Dhoni has just one century in his 35 Tests outside India.

Wow, That is just sad for a guy who has played so many test matches.

 

[Hasnain_786]

that was plumb

 

[chacha kashmiri]

shane warne would have got a decision on that, not assertive enough

 

[Anwar_194]

****ing hate this "inspector of police from trimurti" add....What the hell is wrong with Willow Cricket.

 

[Random Aussie]

Who gets dropped when Ryan Harris and Watto comes back for the second test?

Watto wont be back until Perth. And Harris will struggle to get back in for Sydney, assuming the quicks all stay fit and keep bowling well.

 

[talha3]

Ishant gone finally. First real shot of intent from Ishant.

 

[Hasnain_786]

edged

 

[Blade]

Gone , 5er to the hilf..!!!

 

[KingKhanWC]

lol, sharma tries a

 

[Random Aussie]

First five for Hilfy, congrats on a great comeback to Test cricket!

 

[Love Pakistan]

5fer for Horse!

 

[IgnitedMind]

Ishant bored from batting..

 

[Sledger]

5 for to Hilfenhaus.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Zaheer in next, at least we wont see his hairstyle under the helmet.

 

[Sledger]

Were CA for/against DRS?

 

[skyhigh]

Nice hand from Ishant. He did his job with the bat

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Watto wont be back until Perth. And Harris will struggle to get back in for Sydney, assuming the quicks all stay fit and keep bowling well.

That's just sad. Miss the guy's batting and his energy in the field.

 

[Sledger]

Good innings by Sharma tbf, showed fight.

 

[VolcanicAsh]

GONE!

Despite everything going against the Aussies they are still on top.

Has Erasmus umpired in the IPL yet? If not a contract sheet his waiting in his mailbox when he returns home.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Zaheer Khan in..

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hilfun comes back with a bang, form is temporary ...class is permanent.

 

[skyhigh]

Were CA for/against DRS?

Desperately for!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

5fer for Wolverine. Well bowled you youngsta beauty

 

[IgnitedMind]

Zaheer Guides it to a boundary...

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Ben's best Test figures now vs India. Took out some big guns today.

 

[Random Aussie]

Were CA for/against DRS?

CA do what they are told by BCCI

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I was expecting India to give a lead, what a funny game this has been. Entertaining stuff!

 

[ads101]

how pathetic is aus bowling...cant take ishant's wicket...shame for a test cricketing nation

Ishant's out on 11. Do you take back what you said now? After all does seem a little ironic considering Pattinson and Hilf got 18 and 19 respectively, and Siddle got 41.

 

[Random Aussie]

Siddle on and bowl it at Jaheers head pls.

 

[VolcanicAsh]

Watto wont be back until Perth. And Harris will struggle to get back in for Sydney, assuming the quicks all stay fit and keep bowling well.

Is that the 3rd Test?

 

[IgnitedMind]

CA do what they are told by BCCI

So CA was against DRS too? Even this is BCCI's fault...

 

[Random Aussie]

Pattinson is very consistent with his line for a young bowler.

As i type this he bowls some filth down the leg side lol

 

[ads101]

let's see how ashwin does, was very impressive last test against Windies

 

[Random Aussie]

Is that the 3rd Test?

Yep, Sydney then Perth then Adelaide.

Ashwin no good against the short ball, just pops it up.

 

[Random Aussie]

Not out off the thigh pad

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Ashwin has a first class average of 35 and he has showed more talent and skills in test cricket than Kohli.

 

[Random Aussie]

Patto!!!!!!!

 

[chacha kashmiri]

they managed to wind zaheer up into playing that shot with that shocking appeal

 

[talha3]

Another one goes. 1 to go. Aus will take a big lead into the 2nd innings.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Cleaned him up. Another thinks he;s king )

 

[VolcanicAsh]

Gone!

 

[tauseefm]

hahahahah what was that Zaheer?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Pattinson you beauty

 

[Blade]

FAT ZAK bowled

 

[Random Aussie]

Bowled better than 2/60 odd suggests

 

[Sledger]

The great Zaheer better get his bowling boots on.

 

[VolcanicAsh]

At least Khan tries to have a hack the rest of Indian tail are gutless tukkers. Tuk Tuk Tuk than get out.

 

[Random Aussie]

6/45 in 24 overs this morning

 

[KingKhanWC]

Can this dude hold a bat? We will find out.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Ishant's out on 11. Do you take back what you said now? After all does seem a little ironic considering Pattinson and Hilf got 18 and 19 respectively, and Siddle got 41.

Lol...Ishant played 69 balls....and got out of a bad ball.

 

[ads101]

good lead this australia, the way Tendulkar was batting I was almost sure India would have got a lead. They've added about 40 runs for the last six wickets, which isn't impressive at all.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I really want Warner to shine, I like him better than Hughes also he's like the left handed Sehwag but instead of baby fat he's full of muscles.

 

[KingKhanWC]

6/45 in 24 overs this morning

Great fightback which may set things up for the rest of the series. Never rule out an Aussie fightback, superb cricket.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Well Left

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Cant believe how India is folding here. 46/6 since the day started.

 

[ads101]

Lol...Ishant played 69 balls....and got out of a bad ball.

so? siddle played out 99, one more ball than tendulkar and Pattinson was not out.

Sharma's fairly decent nightwatchmen, he does put up a fight and value his wicket. It's a little silly to blast a bowling attack because they couldn't get a tailender out for less than 11 runs. Australia's bowled really well here. In fact India bowled pretty well too, just Australia's outdone them.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

OooH almost carried there.

 

[Sledger]

Yadav has a grand total of 0 runs in three games.

 

[Anwar_194]

how do u guys listen to tony crieg?

 

[chacha kashmiri]

ashwin needs to sheperd the strike

 

[talha3]

This won't last long...

 

[Random Aussie]

Malcolm Yadav aint much of a batter eh?

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Yadav trying to hit one to the Moon.

 

[Hasnain_786]

india india india collapse collapse collapse

 

[Sledger]

9/260, time for Ashwin to hit out.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Yadav has a grand total of 0 runs in three games.

So there is actually a batter better than Chris Martin?

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Hangover from eng series continue.....

 

[Random Aussie]

how do u guys listen to tony crieg?

With gritted teeth. Everyone hates him but he has a lifetime contract thanks to World Series Cricket and therefore we are stuck with him for the term of his natural life.

 

[Sledger]

Single taken.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Ashwin gives the strike to Yadav with 4 balls to go. Dangerous!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Next match India should replace Kohli with Rohit Sharma and Ishant with Varon Aaron.

 

[Sledger]

Edged short of slip.
