[Nazir_ Rules]

i predict a scrore of over 300+

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

6! massive!

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

56/1 after 10 overs. good start!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ishant "100 MPH" Sharma comes on and the ball spead from bat beats the World Record

 

[Afridi_Fan]

India's most experienced slapper comes onto bowl.

 

[tdigi]

Indian bowling = I am depressed.

 

[itduzz]

Indian bowling = I am depressed.

I is happy

 

[tdigi]

I is happy

Good for you.

 

[Fish]

oh dear , when will ponting ever learn ? somebody get him that "Dummy's guide to batting in india" book

Ponting averages 49 in India from 19 games.

Havent you ever watched cricket in India.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Go Jadeja lol...

 

[tdigi]

OZGod needs to give me a Oreo cookie, TALL MIGHTY ISHANT has crossed the 80mph barrier

 

[Afridi_Fan]

If one only listens to Sunil Gavaskar's commentary he will get the picture that Indian teamis somewhat a perfect side and whatever runs the other side is getting is purely because of their luck, not with their good play.

 

[Poison]

oh dear , when will ponting ever learn ? somebody get him that "Dummy's guide to batting in india" book

Lol we'll keep this quote in the bank and post it to embarass you when he gets a ton..

 

[nikred]

OZGod needs to give me a Oreo cookie, TALL MIGHTY ISHANT has crossed the 80mph barrier

yay..... cookies for everyone.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

OZGod needs to give me a Oreo cookie, TALL MIGHTY ISHANT has crossed the 80mph barrier

Off the bat, he has crossed 100 MPH.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Paine goes to 50, to inflict pain on the Indians.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Lol we'll keep this quote in the bank and post it to embarass you when he gets a ton..

Thats a very good idea

 

[Poison]

Lol India's bowling is so poor. So so so so so poor.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Paine gone, Ishant "100 MPH" Sharma gets with a wide delivery.

Good wicket for India.

 

[tdigi]

Cookie for Ishant

 

[tdigi]

50 for Ponting :clap:

 

[Afridi_Fan]

India's fielding so far is pathetic.

 

[OZGOD]

Good knock from Dubya so far.

 

[Random Aussie]

oh dear , when will ponting ever learn ? somebody get him that "Dummy's guide to batting in india" book

Perhaps your FTB might like to read Ricky Ponting's "How to bat" book.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Jadeja gets Punter.

Good innings comes to an end.

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Chalo ji, Ponting out..
Now India will be able to restrict the Aussies...

 

[nikred]

Lol we'll keep this quote in the bank and post it to embarass you when he gets a ton..

not gonna happen, i guess.

 

[RexRex]

i knew i was setting myself up for that one...

 

[OZGOD]

So has the MIGHTY AND TALL ISHANT cracked 80mph yet? Pics or it didn't happen.

 

[RexRex]

Hussey always feeds off a good start ... what a leech !

 

[Afridi_Fan]

If Aussies don't make 300+, they should be disappointed.

 

[JeeraBlade]

Hussey always feeds off a good start ... what a leech !

Unlike Dhoni?

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Well this is a first for me . Technical Difficulties in the commentary box .

 

[Wassixpakistani]

If Aussies don't make 300+, they should be disappointed.

Yes , and then Ponting needs to be sacked ..

 

[jusarrived]

how did ponting get to a 50 on this pitch ? saw him edging everything in the beginning .

 

[Wassixpakistani]

how did ponting get to a 50 on this pitch ? saw him edging everything in the beginning .

It was luck as Sunil states it .

 

[Wassixpakistani]

BTW , sad to see no Tyagi . Would have liked to see change in the Indian Bowling attack .

 

[jusarrived]

White looks pretty compact as a batsmen , wonder why he was branded just as a dasher ..looks a proper batsmen to me & no obvious weakness or flaw in technique

 

[Romali_rotti]

Ozzies lookin set for 310-320 here...

 

[RexRex]

was edgy in the beginning but he hung in there...good innings.

 

[jusarrived]

It was luck as Sunil states it .

cant bat against spin or swing & no support from umpires either these days ...has to be luck

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Ozzies lookin set for 310-320 here...

CMon man , have some faith in your team . I see a 290 Max .

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Indeed . He may be carrying a four leaf clover or a Rabbit's foot

 

[Romali_rotti]

CMon man , have some faith in your team . I see a 290 Max .

I gat Faith in the side chasing 310-320 man ... But the way the bowling is going with one batting powerplay to go 310-320 is very realistic score we will be chasing.

 

[RexRex]

i revise my 7-0 prediction to 6-1.

 

[tdigi]

i revise my 7-0 prediction to 6-1.

Keep on revising it if our bowling does not improve.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Aussies losing way big times.

Good come back by India.

 

[jusarrived]

Aussies losing way big times.

Good come back by India.

not yet , but 320+ looks unlikely now though

 

[Cover Drive]

Whats the score right now? Cricinfo seems to be having troubles

 

[tdigi]

Praveen Kumar - Can't even bowl a good line and length --- goes for six, four
tooo much width.

Basic mein rada ho gaya hai...

 

[tdigi]

Whats the score right now? Cricinfo seems to be having troubles

250-5 after 46 overs... T20 style cricket from now,,,

 

[OZGOD]

5/238, Hussey still there with Hopeless, MJ and Pelt to come with 5 to go. I'm guessing we won't make 400 then

 

[OZGOD]

They just need to flog it. Hussey and Hopeless need to stop taking up so many deliveries and just go medieval on these bowlers.

 

[tdigi]

5/238, Hussey still there with Hopeless, MJ and Pelt to come with 5 to go. I'm guessing we won't make 400 then

Where's my cookie?

 

[OZGOD]

I will blame Ponting for only scoring a half ton if we lose this

 

[OZGOD]

Where's my cookie?

Pics or it didn't happen

 

[Afridi_Fan]

5/238, Hussey still there with Hopeless, MJ and Pelt to come with 5 to go. I'm guessing we won't make 400 then

400?

Do you realise you are not playing against South Africa at Wanderers.

 

[OZGOD]

White looks pretty compact as a batsmen , wonder why he was branded just as a dasher ..looks a proper batsmen to me & no obvious weakness or flaw in technique

He's a cowlashing hack

 

[Cover Drive]

Hopeless as the name says
But HUSSEY!!! Should start playing like IPL-I

 

[OZGOD]

Come on fellas we can still crack 300

 

[RexRex]

an aussie site

http://www.foxsports.com.au/cricket/odi/matchresults/0,,13017,00.html

 

[OZGOD]

Can we score 50 runs in 4 overs? Hmm.

 

[OZGOD]

Woot Hopeless got himself out. OK MJ you want to open the innings mate let's see what you've got!

 

[moumotta]

There is a reason we call them death overs (for us)

 

[Poison]

Praveen Kumar - 0/77 off 10.

 

[Poison]

Ishant to Mike Hussey, out Caught by Kohli!! slower delivery, good length outside off, Mike Hussey looks to slog sweep, he was slightly early into the shot and swept it straight down Kohli's throat at deep mid wicket!

Jesus how slow was his slower ball?

 

[kashmiri_lad]

As a certain poster said in the other forum..
Its India of the 90's without Zaheer Khan...but batting could be the difference..
Lets see..

 

[Romali_rotti]

All over Oz cant get to 300

Indian's starting to get excited...the 135kmh barrier has been broken !!!!

 

[kashmiri_lad]

nice comeback from Ishant..just 1 of the last over

Cookie jar's been raided

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Grandpa needs to retire.

You seriously need to mature.

 

[moumotta]

Blame the speed gun

 

[RexRex]

who was the commentator with shastri during the last overs ?

 

[jusarrived]

just par total for Aus , very gettable imo..if we lose here , cant blame the bowlers

 

[Poison]

You seriously need to mature.

He does though. Even Inzamam could take regulation slips catches when he was 38 like the one Tendulkar missed. If he can't field in the slips he should hide himself somewhere else on the field.

 

[OZGOD]

This thread is useless without pics!!

Tendulkar needs to retire from ODI's agreed , but for fielding ? that coming from a pak fan
