Yeah it's lunch and you only get idlys and dosas here. Sheesh. Along with coke.
 
If yadav doesn't comeback after the 2nd test then we are well and truly done for.
Even if he doesn't pick up top order wickets,atleast he will be able to clean up the tail!

Welcome to South India mate.

Arey what are you saying bro! Gobi Manchuri is like the national snack of South India. Lived in Bangalore for 3 years and almost all weekends involved beer and Gobi Manchurian! I believe Chennai is the same.

Chennai is also the only Indian city I have seen which boasts tomato and 'mixed veg' soup in its street food menu! :))
 
Watching this match looks like as if I am watching a match from the 80s. Few plumb lbws that the umpires didn't give.

Tailenders from top teams always contribute & that is why the likes of Aus, Eng & SA are among the best. Had this been Pakistan, we would have been out for 320 odd (once Clarke fell).

Sweet, I'll head out after the day's play and see what's on offer. I'm more of a Mumbai and Bangalore guy myself too.
 
Pattinson bowling some serious heat here.

Vijay has a high bat lift, hope he can deal with the pace.
 
What a delivery to get Vijay.

This is why Pattinson is my favourite from the upcoming young Aussie pacers. Exciting talent.
 
So what are the bets for the Indian score here. Lets say 100 all out is good odds unless Pujara scores some runs then we may get to 150. :yk

I got curious about what Gobi Manchurian is. I looked it up on youtube, and it just seems to be gobi pakoras from what I saw. Didnt look anything special to me. Am I missing something?
 
why say Cheenai pitch help Spinners not help Pace bowlers
good fast bowlers like Junaid,Pattinson Will take wickets here
 
I am not sure if Australia are good, or India are genuinely woeful. Hopefully Sehwag goes soon. Need to hasten his retirement. Oh, Aussies. Please drop his average to below 50 before the end of the series. Doesn't deserve to be above.
 
YES! Sehwag averages 49.77 with that wicket. Beautiful! Keep it low lads.
 
Lol Indian batsmen can't play pace even in India, that should be a new low :))
 
Lol Sehwag is a real buddha now. Cant even react to the inside edge. He had enough time to football it away from the stumps. But I guess he is more interested in the vada samosas being served in the dressing room than his wicket
 
can't believe Indian batsmen are struggling to play pace even on flat roads...
 
This is thrilling to watch. Psycho fast bowling and great batting.
 
Sehwag is actually just a hack now. His time is running out.

His time was up 1yr ago... He lost his reflexes and without them, he is like a tailender.

Well it was an exciting ride for Viru, but its all over now.

His eyes have gone. Hopefully his average ends up around 44? It is still way inflated at 49.
 
this pitch is dead..would be surprise if India don't make 400 runs..
 
Tendulkar staunching down trying to protect those stumps as much as possible

Not on pitch with pace and bounce :P
The aussie pacers are bowling much better than most would of expected

Tendu in his prime hammered Donald on helpful pitches.

I agree that Tendu is too old to smash them now in Aus or Eng or SA
 
Very good pace by Pattinson, Clarke should have had continued with him and Siddle.
 
After watching the veggie trundlers struggling to bowl over 135K+, it is exciting to watch 150k bowlers in full steam.

no disrespect to Junaid mate but i dont think he will make any impact in this flat road Patto is all about sheer pace :akhtar

Pattinson is clearly being used for short 145k bursts, he wouldn't have been able to maintain that pace.
