Australia vs India | 1st Test | Melbourne | Boxing day

[MarathaPride]

34/2????!!!!!!!!! I leave for two hours and this is what happens..

 

[MarathaPride]

C'mon Tendulkar..save the team...again.

 

[12thMan]

Ind 34-2 after 25 overs

 

[MarathaPride]

After 26 overs, India 36/2 and Australia were 111/0

 

[Dhonifan]

if ever we needed Tendlya it's NOW.

 

[Imy]

India playing like pak in India not very positive what the hell was dravid doing

 

[Pathan007]

India must get around 450. a lead of 100runs will be more than handy.

 

[12thMan]

Laxman out ct off Lee. Short ball that hits his glove as he tries to get away and it flies to gully

 

[12thMan]

Ind 63-3 after 31 overs
naaray of "India jeetay ga" going on

 

[MarathaPride]

India must get around 450. a lead of 100runs will be more than handy.

450 is highly optimistic at this point.

 

[MarathaPride]

Ind 63-3 after 31 overs
naaray of "India jeetay ga" going on

[Fish]

19.2 Clark to Dravid, no run, another huge shout, low and trapping him right on middle
A perceived inside edge saved him, there, but the usually placid - in fact, horizontal - Clark is unamused
19.3 Clark to Dravid, no run, left alone outside off this time
Clark thunders back to his mark, still ruminating on how that LB shout wasn't given
19.4 Clark to Dravid, no run, up there, straight, defended on the front foot
Clark's still fuming. Replays showed no inside edge. There was little wrong with that

20.2 Hogg to Laxman, no run, immediately back on it, though, with one which spins back in from outside off but the loud appeals are turned down

Just a couple of plumb LBW's that have been turned down but not noted because they are Australian bowlers. Had they been Indian bowlers then the umpires would have been called cheats and biased towards Australia.

 

[MarathaPride]

Great shot by Tendulkar. More of those needed.

 

[12thMan]

Tendu going after Hogg. a four to midwicket follwed by a six to long on
Ind 97-3 - trail by 246

two balls later another 4 and Tendu 50
Ind 101-3

 

[CricnPak]

How I missed the Tendulakr of old because he's back now and taking Hogg apart.

 

[12thMan]

Ganguly with a six over long off
Ind 112-3 after 41 overs

 

[12thMan]

Tendu bowled by Clark. played on
Ind 120-4

Cool it. Both of the decisions were correct decisions. If anything India had bad decision yesterday against Johnson. Austrlalia did not get any bad decision.

 

[saffer]

damn....just when they were getting back into it..

 

[Fish]

Did you watch the replays?.

 

[12thMan]

Yuvi lucky there. Players went for LBW but there was an inside edge and Ponting ct it and went up. Umpire says no
Ind 121-4

 

[Pathan007]

yup, definite edge. yuvi, the lucky fella.

 

[12thMan]

Yuvi out ct behind off Clark. Yuvi hesitant but Bowden says out. unlucky there maybe
Ind 122-5 after 47.4 overs

 

[Pathan007]

now joker kotha(bowden) gives him out. there was no edge at all. very unlucky.

 

[siddharth]

Did you watch the replays?.

Did u watch the replay of Yuvi's dismissal ?

 

[12thMan]

India in trouble now. Tea time

 

[Pathan007]

it's 2-1 against India.

 

[the_game]

So, the Indians still did very well on the first day, didn't they? I had a feeling this would happen. India would probably get bundled out for 200 odd, and Australia will win by some 150 runs once again. All too predictable, and a har-har at the overreaction from some of our bharti friends yesterday.

 

[the_game]

And why is it that only Yuvraj has to do his Bollywood dramay when a harsh decision goes against him? I mean come on, even the likes of Tendulkar walk away immediately if something like that happens. Yuvraj has to pose for the Bollywood cameras for a few minutes in order to stage a protest.

 

[Pathan007]

yaar ameer baccha hai. he has plenty of $$$$$to pay the fine.

 

[Punter]

At Tea


5/122 India losing two quick wickets wicket the big wickets of Yurvaj and Sachin

Stuart Clark 3/15

 

[the_game]

yaar ameer baccha hai. he has plenty of $$$$$to pay the fine.

Oh yes, I forgot. Bollywood pays enough for his childish dramas and useless dives on the field.

 

[161]

yuvraj is humiliating himself in the grandest way...

what a twa*

dude watch you language..u constantly use ugly words against India... i dont wanna go to your level and use ugly words against Pakistan.. its Bharat

 

[12thMan]

the PM of Australia sure likes to be on cricket shows. Before it was Howard and now Nicholas will talk to Rudd

 

[purplehaze]

Dada and Dhoni must bat out next session to keep India in the game. Wicket still good to bat on if batsman can apply.

 

[the_game]

dude watch you language..u constantly use ugly words against India... i dont wanna go to your level and use ugly words against Pakistan.. its Bharat

What's the difference between bharti and bharati, my friend? Anyways, I had no intentions of insulting you guys. My apologies if I offended you. I was merely insulting the overreaction last night. I'll add the extra "a" from now on (even though I still don't know how that makes a difference). Cheers.

 

[rahulrulezz]

lol..u guys open thousands of threads here at pakpassion when even a lbw decision is not given in given in favor of Pakistan...i m not even talking about other decisions like catches, chucking... and now you guys are blaming Yuvi for just standing on the pitch for 5 seconds..lol

 

[kablooee87]

I bet Ganguly is proud of himself for not getting out till tea. Why take the obvious double when you can have the new man face the last few balls before tea.

its not even bharati....its just bharat for India or if you Bhartiya for Indians

He has done his Bollywood dramay more than once, hence my annoyance. Plus, he likes to dive uselessly on the field for those fancy Bollywood cameras; that's just a pet peeve of mine .

sooooooooooo. it's forum pajiiiii. every1 has right to whine.

 

[the_game]

Alright, I'll use Bhartiya people from now on. Happy? Now relax.

 

[Pathan007]

he did same thing yesterday. got a slight hit, went down as if he was hit on a bomb and then got up, doing his bolly antics.

 

[Punter]

Tea has finished player's have come back onto the field

 

[Dhonifan]

I would say the culprits are openers who were too defensive. Tendulkar had to be aggressive because he knew scoring was crucial.

The reason India did well last time was because openers always got runs. Maybe in the 2nd innings Jaffer can open with Dhoni. All in all, very disappointing display by India, I never expected them to collapse like this. IMO all of the wkts went to rash/bad shots (in the case of Laxman, a bad backbend) and not to brilliant deliveries like Zaheer and Kumble bowled yesterday. That's what sucks.

 

[12thMan]

its not even bharati....its just bharat for India or if you Bhartiya for Indians

well let's not get into this but Bhartiya might be hindi way and urdu way is Baharti ... Bahart the country and adding a i means the people like amriki, pakistani, hindustani etc

 

[Punter]

Stuart Clark has gotten another wicket 4/15

getting Dhoni second ball after Tea

6/122

 

[12thMan]

Dhoni LBW off Clark
Ind 122-6

 

[kablooee87]

ell oh ell

 

[Pathan007]

dhoni showing his true color. flat track bully. don't compare this guy to Kamran AKmal in terms of batting.

 

[DHONI183]

India still needs 21 to avoid follow-on.

 

[Dhonifan]

bad decision, ball just clipping outside of leg stump, and Slater calls it fair. Oh well, what woudl a tour of Aus be without dodgy umps. Good ball though, must be said. Dhoni looks dazed...

 

[purplehaze]

India in trouble! Let's see how long Dada can sail the fortunes... they still need at least 150 to remain in this match

 

[DHONI183]

replay confirms yuvi nicked.

 

[Pathan007]

bad decision, ball just clipping outside of leg stump, and Slater calls it fair. Oh well, what woudl a tour of Aus be without dodgy umps. Good ball though, must be said. Dhoni looks dazed...

no bichin. that was plumb bro. c'mon grow up!

 

[siimo]

India will do *Well* to avoid follow on here. Stewie Clark is on fire.

 

[jackal786]

Indians are looking timid against an okay bowling. They have truly intimidated Indian batsmen.

 

[Dhonifan]

India still needs 21 to avoid follow-on.

Aus is not going to enforce FO, not after Calcutta...

Tail needs to wag and make another 100 runs somehow.

 

[Pathan007]

tendulkar was the only one who looked positive and attacked. rest r playing like sitting ducks.

 

[Dhonifan]

no bichin. that was plumb bro. c'mon grow up!

you have strange views about 'plumb'...

 

[Fish]

bad decision, ball just clipping outside of leg stump, and Slater calls it fair. Oh well, what woudl a tour of Aus be without dodgy umps. Good ball though, must be said. Dhoni looks dazed...

The ball that got Hussey LBW was just clipping the top of the bail and Slater thought that was a fair call too.

What would a tour of Australia be without the complaining about the umpires. Typical of a game where both teams get good and bad calls but some supporters can only see the ones they want.

And the so called "dodgy umps" are supplied by which country.

 

[Pathan007]

you have strange views about 'plumb'...

the way he came forward and got struck, there was hardly any doubt.

 

[Dhonifan]

Indians are looking timid against an okay bowling. They have truly intimidated Indian batsmen.

So true

 

[Pathan007]

Gangs needs to get double ton.

 

[Punter]

If Australia win the test match and the next one they break their own record of 16 test match's without a loss

 

[purplehaze]

If Australia win the test match and the next one they break their own record of 16 test match's without a loss

they just play for records like these, such a selfish team

 

[purplehaze]

Has any Indian captain ever scored a century and took 5 wickets in an innings in the same match? Kapil Dev looks like to be the only possibility ....

 

[Amir]

Indians are looking timid against an okay bowling. They have truly intimidated Indian batsmen.

But but but but I thought it was a flat track?

 

[12thMan]

If Australia win the test match and the next one they break their own record of 16 test match's without a loss

seems like they have won 17 already (18 if counting Aus vs World XI - ICC super series) There was one draw in middle

 

[12thMan]

Has any Indian captain ever scored a century and took 5 wickets in an innings in the same match? Kapil Dev looks like to be the only possibility ....

nope. only Mankand and Umrigar from India but they were not captains and didn't do it in same innings if that is what you were looking for

 

[purplehaze]

Follow-on avoided. Time to look forward to next target, i.e. get some lead!

 

[MarathaPride]

Chalo, at the first sign of a real test, our batting collapsed.

 

[purplehaze]

nope. only Mankand and Umrigar from India but they were not captains and didn't do it in same innings if that is what you were looking for

Oh yeah, I remember Vinu Mankad did that, didn't know about Umrigar. Thanks

 

[Crickteria]

well let's not get into this but Bhartiya might be hindi way and urdu way is Baharti ... Bahart the country and adding a i means the people like amriki, pakistani, hindustani etc

Exactly. I don't know why our bhartia friend is getting all worked up.
As for opening numerous threads about numerous things, may i remind our friend one more time that this is a forum called " pak passion ". Last time i checked, we don't have any restrictions on the number of threads we can open.

 

[12thMan]

150 up

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Indians are looking timid against an okay bowling. They have truly intimidated Indian batsmen.

I wouldn't call any of the bowlers ok bowlers! Stewart Clarke is an excellent bowler! Some of his delieveries are very similar to Mohammad Asif's delieveries in South Africa!

 

[MarathaPride]

Any of you guys have probs with the link i provided earlier??

 

[MarathaPride]

Gangs needs to get double ton.

So does Kumble.

 

[MarathaPride]

So does Kumble.

Well maybe not a double ton ..but anything to get us past 270. That would be good enough.
