[Bullet Drive]

There is hardly any non-biased people remaining in the cricket world. Everyone's got his own agenda.

) Cricinfo are meant to be proffesional. Even PP are more non-biased than them and we are meant to be a Pakistani forum.

I agree everyone has his/ her own agenda but there are grades/ level of being bias/ unbiased

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on!!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Indian batsmen are renowned for stopping play, Tendulkar usually uses the sightscreen, Ghambir has his own method.

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 mins

 

[zzebie]

I have seen Tendulkar complain about the sightscreen, but only when there were people walking across,and that too when the baller was in the begining of his run up. Other times i do not know. Once a fat man was walking across with balloons in his hand. And when he realized it instead of getting aside, he walks all the way back. ufff.... Real Einstein that fellow

 

[zzebie]

What do these players have for lunch? I have always Wondered how the fielders near the boundary don't feel sleepy after a heavy meal.

[KingKhanWC]

Bring Siddle on.

 

[chaiwala]

Siddle

 

[IgnitedMind]

Siddle in

 

[chaiwala]

Nearly got him

 

[Androcottus]

Just woke up *** 61 runs for the last 2 wickets??
Positive start after lunch for India.

 

[IgnitedMind]

 

[KingKhanWC]

Siddle is a machine

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

 

[IgnitedMind]

 

[Confirm]

Gambhir out.

 

[KingKhanWC]

machine strikes

 

[Confirm]

Sachin in.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

In walks Tendulkar

 

[zzebie]

About time. Gautam was looking shaky.

 

[KingKhanWC]

The old man walks in. On is little shoulders once more.

 

[Confirm]

:3

 

[IgnitedMind]

These two critical

 

[Confirm]

250 to win.

 

[praveen]

292 is too much..

Pattison scoring 40 odd runs at end? That'll take Gambhir the entire length of the series to match..

 

[IgnitedMind]

Tendu playing positive..

 

[chaiwala]

Need a 100 run partnership, at least, here

 

[Confirm]

2 more.

 

[qaiser]

First time hearing "Tendu" from an Indian

 

[chaiwala]

oof Sachin's second innings numbers in Australia are horrible.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Sachin averages 91 in first innings in Australia..and 24 in the second!!!! that needs correction....no better day than today..

 

[Confirm]

Overthrow.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Tendulkar looking solid.

Siddle will be the test.

 

[Androcottus]

Tendu Run Out...well almost

 

[ethan hunt]

glenn rubs it in: "Hang on, Gambhir wasn't ready for that one. Call him back!" Ha

lol, call the angry dwarf back already ..he was backing away ffs ....

 

[Inzy's Aloo]

This is the 'make or break' partnership for the Indians

 

[qaiser]

I feel India going to lose this one

 

[chaiwala]

Sexy shot.

 

[Confirm]

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

50 up

 

[IgnitedMind]

What a shot!!

 

[KingKhanWC]

All wrists, excellent. 4

 

[praveen]

Siddle is a little full for the liking. Can bowl a little back of length, like how he got gambhir. Hilfy should maintain his full length though..

 

[Confirm]

50 up.

 

[qaiser]

Laxman is indian version of Inzi. If anyone can do it for them. It's 'Lux Man"

 

[chaiwala]

Nice delivery from Hilfenhaus, beats Sachin

 

[KingKhanWC]

Maiden, superb over.

 

[Confirm]

52/2.

 

[IgnitedMind]

maiden

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Pattinson back on

 

[IgnitedMind]

From Cricinfo

Mark: "Sehwag, like Dilshan for Sri Lanka, seems to be unable to adjust his game to suit the position that his team is in. It's not just the loss of the wicket but the boost that it has given Australia and the pressure on his team just before lunch. You would have thought that the number one priority for India would have been to deny Australia any wickets before the lunch break, even if that meant scoring a few less runs. Then after the break start to build a big partnership. I wonder if the times players like Sehwag and Dishan win a game for their country are outweighed far more by the times they lose games with their approach and the added pressure they put on others in their team."

 

[IgnitedMind]

Dada jinxing sachin

 

[IgnitedMind]

Dravid averages 52 in second innings aus

 

[Confirm]

55/2.

 

[KingKhanWC]

You pick Sehwag knowing who he is. If you want someone to play safe for 40 mins then don't pick him. Defensive minded openers are better all round imo.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Anyone got a video of Tendulkar ducking and getting out lbw at Adelaide 92?

 

[IgnitedMind]

 

[Confirm]

Bowled Rahul.

 

[chaiwala]

Up to Sachin and Laxman. Need a huge partnership here.

 

[Khabri420]

Dhannay ho Dhannay

This?

 

[praveen]

Dravid getting bowled thrice in the same match..

Congrats australia, its almost over, just one wicket needed.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Patto rearranges Dravids furniture nicely.

If Sachin makes a winning hundred now it will be worth the wait for him. India have never won in Australia, he could be on the way to change history.

Has he got it in him?

 

[cricmylife]

Will the lil' master come to the rescue

I'll have to watch highlights tomorrow morning

 

[Androcottus]

What a delivery!
Can anybody post the speed of the wicket-taking delivery?

 

[IgnitedMind]

We have one test matches.... did not win series!!!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Great ball from Pattinson!

This?

Yes, thank you.

He was hit on the shoulder but given out leg before wicket. )

 

[KingKhanWC]

We have one test matches.... did not win series!!!

Obviously the series. A win here could go a very long way.

 

[ads101]

one more wicket and Australia will likely have it.

Having said that, these two batsmen are the batsmen I'd bet on most doing well on Australian wickets, so at least both are still in
