Australia vs India | 1st Test | MCG | 29/12/11 | Day 4

[Bullet Drive]

Great bowling from Zaheer. It's out.. Hussey goes

 

[Confirm]

Zaheer

 

[Hasnain_786]

peach out

 

[majiz]

One word- Jaffer.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hussey goes.

Beauty from Zaheer though, reversed into him and seamed away.

 

[Random Aussie]

Ok now here is why the non review review is garbage, that no ball from Jaheer was the wrong call.
It wasnt a no ball. Do they review it? We just got another run incorrectly.

Good ball there, well played Huss.

Now are they going to review for a no ball on that delivery? Its a farce.

 

[octavian]

Gone. Looked like gettin gout any moment this morning Hussey finally goes. A great knock nonetheless

 

[zzebie]

so bcci is not paying umpires money now?

+1.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Lyon is no mug but the ball is talking or in this case singing bollywood songs.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Hilfy to come and have a bash

 

[cricketworm]

Call Hussey back! Stump are still standing, he might be not-out.

 

[Confirm]

Wooo 20000 posts!

Thanks Indian crew for keeping me interested in trolling you since 2008...

Congrats

 

[Random Aussie]

What if that ball was the last delivery of the over? Then that delivery should not have been bowled etc.....worm, cans opened.

Lead 248 happy with that.

 

[IgnitedMind]

We advocate fair game. BCCI doesn't. so serves them right

opposing DRS does not mean not advocating a fair game. Ross taylor talked against DRS yesterday...

against I am with you guys..DRS should be used..BCCI is acting silly here..

but the reasons are stupid..paying umpires....ipl contracts etc...you are using the arguement selectively..and we suffered from bad decisions as much as aus did...its BCCI's fault..but the intentions are different from not using it...

with or with out DRS...saying a team deserves to have a bad decision is stupid!!!!!!!we did not have them untill last two yrs....

 

[Confirm]

197/9.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

only two slips?? lol

 

[Buffet]

I think Aus has enough to win the game now.

 

[cricketworm]

Erasmus is pathetic umpire. 5-6 wrong decisions in one test :faceplam: You need minimum 5 DRS reviews for umpire like him.

 

[chaiwala]

Wooo 20000 posts!

No problem. Likewise, we are quite interested by your "Random" outbursts and hysterical temper tantrums. I guess we have a bit of a symbiotic relationship happening here.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Drives through cover for a couple, lead 250.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

lead now over 250

 

[Confirm]

Aus lead by 250.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Not given out?

 

[KingKhanWC]

o.k edit, it wasn't out. close call.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Appears to be a good decision

 

[Blitz]

Lead 248 happy with that.

Its an imposing target.......if you get Sehwag early.


He bats 10-15 overs, and this game is over.

 

[Random Aussie]

Call Hussey back! Stump are still standing, he might be not-out.

Well did they review for the no ball? Review to to check the field was legitimate, no fielders changing position etc?

I am going on about it I know, but that is because it is clearly stupid.

250 lead now, sweet.

 

[chaiwala]

That was out too. ) I can see it from the UK.

I think it was bat-ground.

 

[Ruri]

250 up, game on.

 

[octavian]

It does. Picture this Tendulkar is batting on 95* for his 100th hundred. Is given LBW after a edging onto his pads. He reviews and is declared not out.

I could have used any batsman's name but Tendi so indians can see the logical side of things.

 

[90MPH]

What hypocrisy by people here..

Wrong decisions favor to India...BCCI does not want DRS to intimidate umpires

against India -- deserves it......

So much for people advocating a fair game lol ..

the whole paying the umpire arguement goes into the air and comes back when we have a decision to our favor..

Thats baloney and you know it. Everyone is miffed at the reasons BCCI (and Indian players) have against the system when everyone else in the world wants it.

 

[majiz]

You need minimum 5 DRS reviews for umpire like him.

Regardless of the great decision he just made, you may have a point....

 

[KingKhanWC]

I think it was bat-ground.

I thought the ball was edged after the bat hit the ground, need hot-spot to confirm either way.

Drilled by Patto through mid off.

 

[Confirm]

:4

Ganguly feels it ain't enough.

Yep.

Nice four by Patto!

 

[Ruri]

Regardless of the great decision he just made, you may have a point....

Don't waste your reviews, get them right, and you're fine.


And oh what a shot by Patto. Class act.

 

[IgnitedMind]

True!!! I agree...DRS should be used. But the reasons for not using is different....not what people blabber about here. money,intimidation,contracts....there may be a back end explanation for it...thats my only point!!!!

 

[octavian]

So not supporting DRS = not supporting fair game. simple.

 

[Random Aussie]

Ganguly feels it ain't enough.

If they can get 255 they deserve the win.

Lol Dhoni, such a defensive captain.

 

[Looney]

Aussies have scored just enough .

 

[KingKhanWC]

Dhoni, men on the ropes. lol

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

203/9

 

[octavian]

Plenty of singles available. They should just milk singles here.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Hilfenanauaushahaas played well in that over..defended some very good balls

 

[Ruri]

Dhoni, men on the ropes. lol

To be fair, Hilfenhaus is more likely to get caught going for a six than at gully nicking a drive.

 

[James]

Patto is a fiiiiiiine cricketer.

Shame about his brother

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Ground looks kinda empty,

I thought people desperately wanted to come and see teenda play his last match at melbourne?

 

[talha3]

Dropped )

 

[KingKhanWC]

Dropped )

 

[Confirm]

:faceplam: dropped.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Dropped

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Dropped


Steal a couple of runs

 

[talha3]

Pattinson doing a more than fine job here

 

[IgnitedMind]

tough catch for the old man

 

[Eagle_Eye]

The youngster's speed is down today..... Following the Indian fast bowling trend already?

 

[talha3]

What a shot!! Authoritative!

 

[Confirm]

:4

 

[KingKhanWC]

To be fair, Hilfenhaus is more likely to get caught going for a six than at gully nicking a drive.

Possibly as just witnessed but with one wicket not allow gaps to rotate strike.

What a pull shot. Patto on fire

 

[chaiwala]

Poor Yadav, has gotten three outs but no luck.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

 

[cricketworm]

Sigh!

 

[Blitz]

Great stuff.


I see an all-rounder in the making.

 

[Confirm]

211/9.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Whats wrong with pattinson??

 

[PTI tsunami]

Bad ball by pace ace 

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Top shot from the youngster

 

[octavian]

All Pattinson needs to do now is come out and take 5 wickets

 

[IgnitedMind]

Zaheer to wrap things up..

 

[Random Aussie]

Thats what you get for spreading the field Dhoni!

Someone should tell him he now has a decent bowling attack, back them and bring the fielders in.

262

 

[Pak_Power]

Pattinson is good with the bat!

 

[talha3]

I said 260-275 would be a 50-50 game. So Aus have reached that.

Let's see if they can get to 275+

 

[Confirm]

Lead of 262.

 

[Random Aussie]

Another single thanks Dhoni

 

[DeadlyVenom]

can't stop loling at jaheers hair

 

[KingKhanWC]

Remember Hilfun making a superb 50 V Pakistan. He has the skills to bat and hurt India here.
