[PennOne]

wow Marsh is terrible. Usman Khawaja was better than this. atleast he got 20-40 runs better than Marsh

 

[violet_may]

Yadav bowling good

Inside edges.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Another 48 coming up?

 

[praveen]

You're talking about the captain of World Cup winning team & previous #1 Test team.

He batting is atrocious in tests mate.. do i even need to explain this?

Anyways test shaping up nicely..

 

[godzilla]

I can't believe the Aussies are going to lose this from this position. Shocker. Is yadav bowling that well, or are they batting that badly?

 

[Confirm]

26/3.

 

[praveen]

no swing, its due to the pace..

Indians are bowling well, but the bad/harmless balls are getting them out and Australians are throwing away their wickets.

 

[Confirm]

 

[IgnitedMind]

What a ball!!

 

[Confirm]

What a collapse!

 

[ads101]

now that was a good ball to get him out

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Clarke

Aussies collapsing like

 

[violet_may]

That was a good ball.




) collapse is on!

 

[tauseefm]

seems like AUS vs SA all over again

 

[cricmylife]

Great Fast bowling display from team India!

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

149.9 kmh by ishant to get Clarke

Wow

 

[Cover Drive]

InshAllah, Ricky and Hussey both will score tons and guide Australia!!

 

[test_fan]

That was 149 from Ishant, good speed,

 

[Random Aussie]

Man we suck with the bat. I predicted this.

 

[violet_may]

Yeah, nothing impressive in the first few wickets but this was a good one.

 

[desijazba]

wow. collapsing like a pack of cards earlier in the day and now bowling amazingly well at pace. is this pakistan in disguise?

 

[Cover Drive]

Man we suck with the bat. I predicted this.

Nah I have my money on Hussey and Ponting, hopefully they will bash India around the park!

 

[praveen]

Tall and mighty, gets a wicket at last..

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Common Team India! All out for 40 runs!!!

 

[IgnitedMind]

149 mph!!!

 

[tauseefm]

Man we suck with the bat. I predicted this.

AUS bating <= Pakistan bating

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

149 mph!!!

Can't be mph? It's kph

 

[Justcrazy]

I think this pair need to bat out the day.

 

[praveen]

i will gladly settle for 50 run deficit with four quick top order wickets..

 

[IgnitedMind]

Can't be mph? It's kph

lol ya kph

 

[Justcrazy]

Its not over yet, not over by any means, India has to bat last.

 

[Sledger]

Australia. )

I don't rate Warner so expected a couple of early wickets.. but 30/4 against India on here!?

 

[Random Aussie]

Pakistan batting>>our batting

 

[Iffitheking]

Australia need just more 200 to win... that means just 126 more runs

 

[Confirm]

Uhhhh..edged & four.

 

[Justcrazy]

I think India would be happy to chase 250 ...... not more than that, anything over that on last innings would be challenge.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I say get Australia all out under 100 runs, Yadav bowling like a real king

 

[Confirm]

 

[IgnitedMind]

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[violet_may]

Nice pull by Hussey!

 

[IgnitedMind]

Australia. )

I don't rate Warner so expected a couple of early wickets.. but 30/4 against India on here!?

India is actually bowling well here...

 

[praveen]

Nope even 250 is a steep chase

 

[VolcanicAsh]

Hussey showing his class, how much different does this pitch look when a class batsman takes guard?

 

[violet_may]

Pakistan batting>>our batting

) That's when you know things are really bad

 

[Justcrazy]

Runs are vital..... Aussies should play there shots here. The final chase would be really pulsating.

 

[Sledger]

I didn't see any of the wickets but just talking about what I thought would happen given the conditions, I thought they'd be building a solid lead after Warner would obviously get out.

 

[Justcrazy]

Nope even 250 is a steep chase

I feel India can chase that ....

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Indian pace attack >>>> Aussie pace attack

Never thought I would ever say this

 

[IgnitedMind]

152 Kph...

 

[test_fan]

Ishant 152.2

 

[Justcrazy]

152 km / hr ........... Ishant :AAG

 

[Sledger]

Indian pace attack >>>> Aussie pace attack

Never thought I would ever say this

That's because it's wrong.

Even in this game (not a total first string attack), Aus bowled very well.

 

[Iffitheking]

comon Ponting this is the time to score century.... if you will score 100 now... it will be better then tendulkar's all 100s put together...

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Clarke never performed well under pressure

 

[Justcrazy]

I think Australia bowled well, Dravid & Tendulkar are one of the best since last 15 years.

 

[test_fan]

Indian pace attack >>>> Aussie pace attack

Never thought I would ever say this

That's not right. But we are bowling well no doubt on that.

 

[Confirm]

Aus lead by 94. Only 6 wickets left.

 

[Sledger]

Good chance for Ponting to get that overdue hundred.

 

[violet_may]

I didn't see any of the wickets but just talking about what I thought would happen given the conditions, I thought they'd be building a solid lead after Warner would obviously get out.

First 3 were batsmen fault.

 

[Buffet]

Its not over yet, not over by any means, India has to bat last.

I still back Aus to win this test because they have now 90 runs lead with 6 wickets in hand. Just need one decent partnership to put the pressure back. Batting last here will be difficult and anyhthing over 200 will be challenging unless shegwag plays for couple of hours.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies need to get 200 in this innings at least, to have any chance.

 

[praveen]

Get zak back on, let him bowl to hussey..

 

[Iffitheking]

That's because it's wrong.

Even in this game (not a total first string attack), Aus bowled very well.

Absolutely right..... I think there wasn' t anything special with Indian bowling... just bad shots from Aussies

 

[Confirm]

Zaheer in. Why is he looking so different? Maybe new hairstyle.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Zak back

 

[Sledger]

Two to Ponting, mis-field.

 

[praveen]

comon Ponting this is the time to score century.... if you will score 100 now... it will be better then tendulkar's all 100s put together...

yea? what if teenda scores a century to chase the target down?

 

[Sledger]

Not joking but Zaheer seems slower than the speedguns are showing. That was like an offbreak lol.

 

[test_fan]

Ponting is looking good.

 

[Justcrazy]

lead 98 ....

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

So guys who do you think is a better bowler Yadav or Pattinson?

 

[Buffet]

I feel India can chase that ....

I don't think it will be easy to chase 250 batting last here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lots of time in this match still.... Aussies need to grind here......

 

[Iffitheking]

I love Australia because of this... even though they were 27 for 4 they still manage to bat aggressively... every other team would have started tuk tuk.. playing 100 balls and scoring just 20 runs and get out... but Australia hats off to them.... Go Australia Go....

 

[IgnitedMind]

Lots of time in this match still.... Aussies need to grind here......

Pattinson he troubled sehwag and dravid...much better batsmans!!

 

[Justcrazy]

If australia are 5 down at stumps... they would take it happily.

 

[test_fan]

149.5

 

[VolcanicAsh]

So guys who do you think is a better bowler Yadav or Pattinson?

Yadav is a great find for India but Pattinson has every ingredient to be a top class PHAAST bowler, in flat pitches Pattinson will still be threatening and the same cannot be said with Yadav.
