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

[IgnitedMind]

Pattinson has played his part already..he should take it light for 4th innings and concentrate on his fitness for 2nd test

 

[Random Aussie]

On the twelfth day of Christmas my Dhoni gave to me...

Five men in the deep

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

2nd highest partnership of the innings

 

[Strike!]

These runs may just decide the match!

 

[Kwremb]

1 off it.

Don't want to the mockers on him but Pattison could develop into goldust . ie fast bowling allrounder.

Even Cummins is no mug with the bat.

 

[Blitz]

They ran four.


?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

they run

 

[Random Aussie]

300 lead is on

 

[PTI tsunami]

Ashwin not spinning at all the ball is 74 ov old 

 

[IgnitedMind]

lol

 

[KingKhanWC]

On the twelfth day of Christmas my Dhoni gave to me...

Five men in the deep

)

Not one there, crashed through the covers.

Lead 286

 

[Confirm]

What is this? 4 more.

 

[Equinox]

Brilliant stuff. 14 more to get. Comeee ooonnnn!

 

[Bullet Drive]

lovely shot.

 

[Blitz]

What a shot!!!

 

[Random Aussie]

Lmao this is gold

 

[DeadlyVenom]

beaaaaaaaaaaaaautiful boundary

 

[talha3]

The advantage for us is we cant stuff this up with batting now

True, that always is the advantage.

Always easier to recover from a spell of bad bowling than a batting collapse.

Hilf with consecutive boundaries

 

[Equinox]

Four more!!!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Wow, drives one into the gap.

 

[PTI tsunami]

Shot

 

[Confirm]

:4 more

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

now driven for

 

[Bullet Drive]

What a lovely cover drive. Pathetic Indian bowling and captaincy. Abysmal.

 

[IgnitedMind]

more

Okay..............................ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

 

[Ruri]

I will finally give the advantage to Australia. Now India needs more runs than they scored first time around in the 4th innings.

As I type this, another 4 by Hilfenhaus. Your bowlers are crap at dealing with tailenders. Full, fast straight. Forget the nicks, forget the catches.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

lead has reached 290 now

 

[Bullet Drive]

Another easy single.

 

[Pak_Power]

bowlers are not looking threatning at all!

good work by tail

easy pickings

 

[Kwremb]

Looking at Dhoni's field placing & India's casual bowling you'd have a hard time believing it's No 10 & 11 batting

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Dhoni has learnt from the best

 

[Iffitheking]

Ohh boy I am loving this.... hahah

 

[Bullet Drive]

Yadav needs to come on all guns blazing with face and bowl 6 yorkers. Forget the runs for one over and just aim for yorkers.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Pattinson playing with a pathetic strike rate of 45..he should feel ashamed of himself an try for big shots

 

[PTI tsunami]

Zaheer should go on that excess baggage course 

 

[Confirm]

Hope Aus doesn't cross 300.

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[Confirm]

 

[DeadlyVenom]

finished.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Edged and caught at slip.

 

[IgnitedMind]

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

 

[Random Aussie]

The TALL and MIGHTY Ishant finishes it off.

 

[talha3]

Gone now.

So a lead of 291.

292 to win. Advantage Australia. What have you got India (Sehwag)?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great partnership. 43 one. Good catch. Poor bowling. Ishant gets a wicket. VVS silky touch.

 

[Confirm]

Relief!!!! Atlast.

 

[Equinox]

Damn. Anti-climax.

 

[IgnitedMind]

292 win..should be a cake walk!!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

India need 292 to win!

 

[Bullet Drive]

292 to win. 300 would have been ideal.. who are favourites?

 

[Random Aussie]

Will I be updating my signature tonight?

 

[Confirm]

India need 292 to win.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Excellent partnership by the last two.

292 to win.

Patto, Hilfun will have a lot of confidence after their batting.

Siddle, well he is Siddle who will come out on fire.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Tendulkar won't do anything. If he makes a ton, India will lose. Sehwag is the key. Dravid will play for a draw. Laxman & Sehwag the key.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Will I be updating my signature tonight?

Of course, especially if he makes his ton

 

[Iffitheking]

I jinx it...

 

[Farhan2c]

game will be finished today

 

[Confirm]

Hope,Sachin scores 100 today.

 

[Farhan2c]

sachin wont' score 100, at least not this match.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hope,Sachin scores 100 today.

What about winning the test?

 

[IgnitedMind]

Tendulkar won't do anything. If he makes a ton, India will lose. Sehwag is the key. Dravid will play for a draw. Laxman & Sehwag the key.

yaa..like 80 times of his 99 centuries?...

Tendu will be as important as dravid,lax....sehwag is much more crucial though

 

[90MPH]

India are no way chasing this barring a miracle from Sehwag.

 

[Iffitheking]

292 win..should be a cake walk!!

yeah???? they will go back to pavilion doing cat walk

 

[Buffet]

Will I be updating my signature tonight?

For sure. Momentum is with Aus team now and it's very very difficult target to chase. I think, 10/11 has sealed the game for Aus.

 

[Confirm]

What about winning the test?

That's but obvious .India is going to win.

Sachin's 100 will be cherry on the cake.

 

[IgnitedMind]

yeah???? they will go back to pavilion doing cat walk

was sarcastic!!!!!!!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

292 to win, how long till chase?

 

[majiz]

What was it one of the commentators was saying about the State Shield matches this seasons....

This is one of those test matches, I think there's more life in it yet.

 

[talha3]

Does anyone know what India's highest successful 4th innings chase in Australia is?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Indians coming out

 

[Confirm]

Champions coming out.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Pattinson to start off

 

[Confirm]

 

[MoNkEy]

Does anyone know what India's highest successful 4th innings chase in Australia is?

[talha3]

Adelaide, 2003

Thanks.

India have their work cut out.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Ghambir gets off the mark, single

 

[Confirm]

2/0.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hilfun will pitch it up a bit. Appeal hard if struck on the pads.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Sehwag on strike

 

[KingKhanWC]

Right length, wrong line. tucked away 1
