aus batting just doesn't seem as threating as it is often made out to be.

A great effort from India to restrict Australia for 160.

I hope India loses quick 3-4 wickets in the first 10 overs and we will have a cracking match at our hands
Indian cricket matches are like bollywood movies. there has to be drama, romance, comedy everything. Our guys are champions at making it interesting.Umairii99 said:

If India chase down it will be after a time of ten years India will successfully chase down a target against Australia (last time it was possible largely thanks to an excellent 134 by Sachin Tendulkar in the Sharjah Coca-Cola Cup Trophy 1998). They have had few opportunities in between but 160 is too small to be challenging I reckon, so that jinx can certainly be broken now

I wonder why few of my Indian friends have so much of negative thoughts 
. Anyway, it´s upto the team to perform, if they believe in themselves they will knock it off.

Australia were 5 down for 60, which is something not many teams manage, and after a few runs were scored he starts to point out all the mistakes Dhoni is making. Then he goes on and on about how Australia can get to 200+ and win with their great bowling attack...at one point Tony Greig (or Taylor maybe) was prompted to say that Indians were doing great.
This is the same guy who at Perth, with Australia losign 4 quick wkts comes out and says 'I feel Indians are trying to be cute, as if to say look how smart we are, but I feel they have run out of options'.
He knows his cricket yes, but his nitpicking starts to grate. Maybe it's just me...

Agree. At times even he is so annoying. But again, he is far, far better than his biased colleagues.

More than the team it´s the fans themselves who don´t have any faith at all in their team.

Nothing surprising in their performance today. Their youngsters do have potential but they lack huge fan following that Gangulies and Dravids have. Right now they need support to come good but few fickle-minded Indian cricket fans just want their favourite players to play rather than thinking about the future of the team that lies ahead.
Very impressive captaincy from MSD.. But for persisiting with Sehwag for an over too many, all his moves were spot on..And the bowlers delivered..
India has the momentum now - try to win with the extra point - should boost our confidence going into Manuka Oval.

I guess I will have to listen to Zee News again for Dhoni bashing
......... .......Did you see the reaction of Symonds after he edged the ball. He was waiting for the upmire to give him out, even though it was a big edge.
Gavaskar took the opportunity to rub it in. He said there was going to be no repeat of the Sydney test

nikred said:dhoni bashing??? why???? he had a dream match so far both as captain and a keeper.
You don´t know them, mate
. India is yet to lose a match in the CB series but they dedicate 20 minutes out of their 30 miutes bulletin to bash Dhoni as if they are clean-sweeped somewhere . Actually not their fault, they seemed to have signed a contract with Indian veterans like Ganguly, Dravid, Laxman etc . The entire bulletin is surrounded around their past records and achievements

Hmm strange. I never got this feeling. Probably, he was speaking like this since he has seen Australia do this a few many times in the past. If you remember in our first match against australia, even we were 95/5 and still managed to score 195.Dhonifan said:Australia were 5 down for 60, which is something not many teams manage, and after a few runs were scored he starts to point out all the mistakes Dhoni is making.

These days in ODIs with almost all 11 players knowing to bat somewhat, if each plays 30 deliveries, you can bat out 50 overs. you hardly see all outs batting first in ODIs now.
So I think its just a matter of how you look at it. There are many expert commentators out there who feel Ian Chappel is one of the better commentators. I specifically like his presonal comments on individual players like his comments on Rohit Sharma or his assesments of player moves. For eg, when hayden went back inside the crease while facing the free hit from Sharma, he pre commented that it was negate the yorker and thats exactly what happened. Just try to listen to hs comments without this bias. his views are pretty much based on his observations and as such never expresses any feelings

Bucknor has spoiled him rotten.
Don´t know why but his dismissal today even reminded me of Steve Bucknor

just few months ago India did it at Bombay god bless cricinfo. i knw all of u will get this easily, but still
“Plenty of queries as to when Australia were last bowled out inside 50 overs. Well, not long ago, actually - they were dismissed for 193 by India in Mumbai as recently as October 17, 2007. Before that, New Zealand got them for 148 in 49.3 overs on February 16. The last time they failed to bat out 50 overs in Australia was a week before that when, at this very ground, they were bowled out by England for 252 in 48.3 overs. England also dismissed them for 200 in 38.5 overs at the SCG on February 2, so thats four times in 2007. Going back further, they were bowled out for 93 in 34.3 overs by South Africa on March 3, 2006 in Cape Town. Hope that answers the tons of emails coming in. Goodbye for now.
And umm ... by the way ... Australia lost all the above mentioned games.”
woohoo.
