Australia vs India | 4th Test | Day 2 | Sydney | 7th January

[Fire Bird]

from No-hit. Keep going. Atleast some entertainment after the Indian bowlers took earlier

 

[adarsh_bang]

I would be very happy with 60/1 at the end of today's play.
Kohli and Rahane to come, i am backing the boys to score 400! and this test to be a draw, which will be a good start for Virat

 

[Abhilash93]

Rahul has looked pretty assured so far. Good technique.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good batting by this two , absorbing the pressure

 

[Arsal_AK]

That something is the fact that the pitch is a road

 

[Justcrazy]

This game should be another draw.

 

[Justcrazy]

Raul looking more assured here ....

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Oh my goodness what are the commies on about. Julios and nerds.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I am not watching the match.

How is Lyon bowling?

Cricinfo says huge turn.

And how did Ashwin bowl? economy looked decent but no wickets. Garbage?

 

[Justcrazy]

It will be togh for Aussies to get wickets here.

This pitch is not right to judge the bowlers .

 

[Justcrazy]

23 overs

DanielAlexander: "Rohit is trying his best to get out in the 30s, again "

 

[Justcrazy]

Last over of the day coming up.

 

[leatherface58]

Pitch is indeed dead. Tailunt got into double figures.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sravan: "Through out this series i have been thinking of only one thing "If only Saha had not played that horrible shot" "

Cricinfo

 

[Varun]

This is not even fun anymore.

 

[Fire Bird]

Tailunted Sharma to score a triple hundred tomorrow and tracer bullet will be all over the media anointing him as the king of the throne. Aussies will be stunned

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good solid response from India, they will need to bat most of day 3 to really get back into this match, the wicket looks on the whole pretty placid.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Get them out under 300.

 

[Random Aussie]

That was much much better from Mitchell Starc, bowled up to 151kph, aggressive and at the batters. Let's see how he does through a long day tomorrow.

Looks like Rhino is hurt again.

Rahul showing why you shouldn't drop guys after a debut game, looked a different player altogether.

 

[Junaids]

Oh my goodness what are the commies on about. Julios and nerds.

Richie really was the Commentary Team Captain, as The 12th Man put it.

There is now much too much 40 something testosterone in the Channel Nine commentary box. Warnie with Jamie Brayshaw is a terrible combination, and I dread to think what they do in the evenings when they're away together outside Melbourne.

I know that it's a boring match on a dead wicket. But listening to ABC Radio was fascinating, as they discussed the technical aspects of the bowlers and batsmen's styles.

While Warnie and Tubby were crapping on about Julios and Nerds. And Advanced Hair Hats, as Tony used to put it.

 

[Convict]

No cricket fan in Australia actually listens to Channel 9.

Yep they are deadset morons.

 

[Junaids]

Yep they are deadset morons.

It was like a preview showing of "Dumb and Dumber To".

 

[OZGOD]

No Hit is 361 runs away from Lara's record

 

[Sandeep]

Lost interest in this match. Such a flat pancake. Certified draw unless we screw up real bad!

The only interest left for me is to see how Rohit Sharma plays tomorrow. I'll get up early to watch him bat...

He will score another 20 runs n get out. As usual Kohli n Rahane have to bail us out. This new kid Rahul looks good, hope he can play out a session tomorrow

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I don't understand the continuous bashing a class batsman like Rohit Sharma is getting. Also this pitch is a road, Rohit will break Lara's record in no time, he may be the fastest to reach 400. A batsman who with double centuries in ODI's is no joke. Rohit is class. Whatever happened to the Australia's pitches. I used to wake up early in the morning to watch these Test matches. It's not worth it anymore, no competition between bat and ball. Batsmen are getting out to bad shots, no quality bowling in this series. MJ lost his spark.
