I am not sure it's good idea riled up Zak. Still 3 tests go! Beware!! You are winning ... take it nicely. Zak is not the person to sledge against.

What is he going to do bowl 125kph bouncers? He sledges a lot thats why they are getting stuck into him and trying to hit him. You think they just decided out of nowhere to aim at Zaheers head?

But we have lost the plot here and need to chill. Perhaps bowl Hussey and take the sting out of this.

 

[Sledger]

Zaheer still believes!

[qaiser]

good shot by Zak and GOOONE

 

[Sledger]

Gone now.

Pattinson. ) ) )

 

[Random Aussie]

Pattinson gets him....and should get a fine for this.

 

[Justcrazy]

Zaheer :6

 

[Pak_Jazba]

What was that by Zaheer LOL?

 

[IgnitedMind]

 

[Statsman]

Not Zaheer's fault though...you can't do much when the scorecard says what it says now...

 

[MVP26]

out

 

[Asif321]

 

[Justcrazy]

Zaheer was getting too ambitious.

 

[MVP26]

his 125 kph will still get a wicket compare to many bowlers around the world.

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia needs 2 more

 

[Sledger]

Ishant in to play his tuk tuk.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

What a start to my day

 

[Random Aussie]

Aus Sledging against India had backfired in past so I am not sure why so much sledging. India was the only team who gave it back as good they got from Australian team and it became nasty.

Hmm funny that we dont sledge Tendulkar, Dravid, Laxman, Dhoni, Ashwin, Sehwag etc. So pick the guys who are getting sledged and ask yourself what is it about them?

 

[qaiser]

NIGHT WATCHMAN in to save Yadev

 

[VolcanicAsh]

This series is just getting interesting, you can expect a lot of bad blood between the two teams in the upcoming test after how the Aussies treated Khan. I don't think this is a good strategy by the Aussies it might backfire in the coming matches.

 

[Statsman]

Dhoni not even shielding the tailenders when the bowlers are aiming the skulls and rib cages

 

[Justcrazy]

India need 125 runs to WIN

 

[MVP26]

indians now crying about sledging

 

[IgnitedMind]

When we sledge..its arrogant..

when they do...we are crying....okay!!!!!!

 

[Asif321]

greigtalks Tony Greig
Slack performance by Indian batsmen - pitch a bit too flirty for them.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Pattinson will go a long way. Terrific talent

 

[Ambi]

Dhoni not even shielding the tailenders when the bowlers are aiming the skulls and rib cages

and he is advicing ishant

 

[Justcrazy]

Will remain not out

 

[Statsman]

indians now crying about sledging

no one's crying

stop trolling

 

[Random Aussie]

Have no problem with India sledging us, which they do consistently, despite what they would like you to believe.

 

[Asif321]

Dhoniii

 

[Statsman]

and he is advicing ishant

Poor from him.

Will remain not out

doesn't matter a zilch..he can't win the game, complete opposite of what he is in ODIs

 

[Sledger]

Pattinson on fire. Four wickets.

 

[ads101]

This is poor by india, no one's got past 32, expected this to be more of a fight

 

[Pak_Jazba]

DHONI Bowled.

 

[Ambi]

Will remain not out

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Law]

Dhoni gaya...

 

[cricketworm]

It's surely Pattinson for MOTM now.

Will see you at Sachin Cricket Ground.

 

[Sledger]

Can't blame Dhoni a huge amount for his batting, the game was virtually done by then but he needs to take a big deal of blame for poor captaincy.

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhonis resistance comes to an end

 

[qaiser]

close your eyes swing the jharoo and gone

 

[Random Aussie]

And the Indian team are not complaining either.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Why do all Australian bowlers have that Siddle-like celebration.

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

every wicket must feel like a steak through the nuts for BCCI

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia fired up here ............

 

[OZGOD]

Yemess for 23

 

[Random Aussie]

20 wickets in 3 games for Pattinson

 

[Justcrazy]

Where is the next test match to be payed?

 

[Sledger]

Yadav on strike.

 

[OZGOD]

Geez this is turning out to be a major @rse reaming eh.

 

[Sledger]

Slater now jumping on the FTB bandwagon.

 

[Ambi]

Dhonis resistance comes to an end

what you mean

 

[Justcrazy]

Three more matches to go, India would look to bounce back, but I do not see them getting any batting wickets.

 

[MVP26]

Hope Pattinson gets a 5fer

 

[Asif321]

what a team aussies are realll fighters

 

[Bashira_taeli]

The entire Aussie team come up to congratulate Pattinson...couple of them feel his ass

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia should go in with another pace bowling all rounder instead of Lyon...

 

[Statsman]

Hope India doesnt go back to the pre Ganguly - Wright era...

 

[qaiser]

why lyon?

 

[Justcrazy]

Lyon on again >

 

[Sledger]

why lyon?

To get the token last wicket. He's been a passenger in this test. :khalil

 

[doctordamor]

I just woke up and whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa WTH happened

 

[jattafridi]

India no drs but still u lose )

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

is lyon the best spinner australia can find? the guy is utter trash.

 

[Law]

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia have played well, they were under pressure and also stretched, but fought it out.

 

[Areesh]

This embarrassing. India should have put up a fight.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

India no drs but still u lose )

This would look on a meme
Law bhai do the necessary.

 

[qaiser]

India no drs but still u lose )

but they would have lost 2 days ago if there was DRS

 

[Statsman]

Congrats RA and Ozgod, won't be too long before the last wicket falls....

The only positive I can take out from this for India is that the bowling is not a big worry, the batting is: something which can be improved even before the next match starts very easily...second, that Rohit Sharma might get to play next game (fingers crossed for him)

Negatives - we're 1 down...

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Hit wicket

 

[Ambi]

Hope India doesnt go back to the pre Ganguly - Wright era...

i thought that G.G will replace dhoni in tests as captain but his present form with bat won't help it

 

[Justcrazy]

150 up for India

 

[qaiser]

India losing to Australia who just lost to number 8 test team
