Bhai seniors seniors ki side leta hai hamari team main. Way too much respect for Bhajji. Have respect for Bhajji the person, but time to let go the skill he has now.

Oh well, Jaddu is on. MSD heard us. :msd

Never thought I would say this in a million years. Sir Jadeja > Bhajji right now

Yes, India's session definitely. Australia has fight really hard to save this match. This pitch will get worse. They have looked clueless against spin apart from Clark and Henriques, rest of the batsmen looked like they have no clue how to play against spin.

Even the Indian seamers giving them a hidin :msd
Aus missing Hussey big time. All up to Clarke now. Yet again.
 
India has had trouble getting out lower order batsmen, so I think Aus will nudge to 300 or more.

The way they are batting, they would be lucky to score 300 for the inning. Most of the batsmen have looked like they can get out anytime. Even Clark hasn't looked very confident so far.
 
Not many comments here as it used to be for an Ind-Aus series. Its a dud series now what with some of the major playes retiring :(
 
Wade is terrible against spin, dunno why he was sent ahead of Henriques.

Dharmasena's son is here, why are you desirous of more company than that? :murali
 
Bhajji not at all looking convincing with his non-spinning darts a galore (Even Jaddu seems to be spinning the ball these days which Bhajji just not been able to do for quite sometime).

Ojha should have been selected instead of Bhajji. Similarly not sure why we are persisting with a hack like Vijay (should have been Rahane, who has got better technique and temperament than this One Series Wonder) for opening slot.
 
And why the hell did they drop Lyon?

Every time they come here, we rid them of a spinner. This time it's taken them merely one match!

They'd have given Vijay two matches to perform in any case.

Just pray he doesn't get a half-century or anything...

That's exactly my worry. I don't want this guy to score some cheap runs on a flat deck and prolong his stay with our team.
 
Oz look in trouble but we should not judge a test match by its first session. Long way to go still.
 
And where the hell is Ojha?

Harbhajan gets yet another test match.

Unbelievable.

Harbhajan needs to perform a miracle otherwise he's done I guess. This might be his last chance. With Jadeja, Ojha and.Ashwin all in good form and also constantly a part of the Indian team, Harbhajan's place in tests is half gone.

'Last chance' for Harbhajan is a myth. We'll be saying that next year too, after he's featured unsuccessfully in his 102nd, 103rd and 104th test matches.

The bigger crime is dropping the best spinner from the England series - who comes up with these dumb ideas? Fletcher? Dhoni?

It appeared the same way during the first test. India generally have trouble bowling out sides for <200 even if they get an early grip. If two of the main bowlers, Bhajji and Ishant make no noticeable contributions, it is difficult for any bowling side to control all sessions of a test match. I wish Ojha were playing.
 
I want to see PK and BK open the bowling on our next trip to England. With Umesh Yadav as the third seamer.
 
So why couldn't Kumar do this in the first test?

Debutante jitters? Different kind of pitch?
 
Whoever is at Hyderabad and reading this, please boo Harbhajan to the hilt.

Guy is utterly useless.
 
Every time I see Ishant trundle I just go :facepalm:

So much potential gone to waste.
 
MSD's captaincy is baffling to say the least. No use of Ashwin or Jaddu for a very long time. Bhajji is releasing all the pressure here.
 
Aus going ok atm but still have a lot of ground to make up. It's probably the easiest time to bat for them on this wicket.
 
Ishant should hang his head in shame.

Averages nearly 40 now and he's supposed to be "spearheading" the Indian pace attack.
 
Ishant sharma - can't bowl, can't bat and definitely can't field. This is the guy that aakash chpra wanted to persist with in his playing eleven over bhuvi (and had tweet argument defending his choice with his followers) :facepalm:

Even more shameful considering Tracer bullet calls his spell to Ponting as Legendary :facepalm:

Bowl Ashwin and Kumar for 40 overs each maybe have the legendart Sir Jadeja for a trundle for 10 overs cos the others are sh1te :asif
Click to expand...

Even get Sehwag and Sachin on.

They can't do worse than the garbage Harbhajan and Ishant are dishing up.
 
Typical :msd bowling Harby and Ishant after lunch when its the other two who got the wickets. We had them at 63/4 and now they have added 60 runs without hassle. :pissed:
 
Legendary short ball from Sharma almost gpes for :four but a legendary stop from Bhajji saves 2 runs
 
I can't believe I'm saying this, but.

Jadeja! Come save us!
 
The way some people are reacting you'd think Aus were 500/4 and not 126/4. India are still well in front.
 
This is really painful to watch. Two clueless waste of space #HasBeens masquerading as main bowlers of a national team :(
 
Real poor team selection by the Aussies . extremely defensive too after trailing in the series.
129/4 in 42 overs . Will 325 be a good score ?
 
^ Comment for Kiwi - Wont be long before that happens. Wont be surprised if I see a Clarke 200 and 100s from Wade and holy moses. We were 35/3 in Sydney before Clarke, Ponting, and Hussey hammerd us all thanks to the "in and out fields" set by the one and only :msd
 
I am surprised that Indian posters are worried. India is on top. This is a first day pitch , already 4 down , do not see Aussies getting more than 250 here. day 2 will be best for batting , what else you want?
 
C'mon even shastri is saying that ashwin should bowl.now dhoni this is too much!!

400+ would be a decent score, the selections were once again poor from the Aussies.
 
When did Ishant Sharma take 137 wickets? When batsmen were slogging toward the end of the innings?
 
Would be interesting to see how Australias Jadeja goes, I'm really looking forward to them facing each other :P
 
Alright, enough of this nonsense. End of both their spells.

Ashwin and Jadeja, come on and have a bowl.
 
LOL Harbhajan gets 9 overs, Ishant 14 and Jadeja is still in his second.
 
Clarke should attack jadeja so the bowlers don't tie down both ends.
 
Amazing, Jadeja's yet to have a run scored off him.

Harbhajan, hang your head in shame.
 
Maxwell is a decent bat, he'll either do really well or fail miserably.
 
So I got back from a night out and see Hughes is out. Surprise surprise.
