India vs Australia | 1st Test | Chennai | 24/2/13 | Day 3

[mosh101]

Great to see dhoni scoring so freely !

 

[Justcrazy]

India trail by 18 runs with 5 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Varun]

Lucky Jadeja. Now he'll get the entire series.

 

[mosh101]

That looked out ! What a poor bit of umpiring

 

[SL_Fan]

We don't care about them. They just wash the dishes.

When you're talking about "India" on forums like these, you're referring to the cream of the crop - us. And if Dharmasena comes from a similar Lankan cream, you and your island have a big problem.

Now run along and prepare for Bangladesh.

You India's cream of the crop? Sounds about right.

 

[kungfu90]

Every 50-50 decision goes in India's favor, same happening in this Test. No wonder they don't want DRS.

 

[mosh101]

Pattinson bowling well !

 

[battler]

Dhoni was lucky there.that was out!

 

[Fire Bird]

Yeah just like your cricket teams. Quality over quantity LMAO nice joke )

Pots and Kettles. I guess you are used to seeing J'dene scoring 370 runs at the SSC and failing everywhere else. I guess thats quality over quantity.

 

[mosh101]

India in control of this game !!

 

[battler]

Every 50-50 decision goes in India's favor, same happening in this Test. No wonder they don't want DRS.

Looks like u missed the Clarke decision and numerous others in the Aussie innings.

Yeah Clarke plays for India right Get your green colored glasses off and see the match for what it is.

 

[young guns]

Dhoni was lucky there.that was out!

inside edge

 

[wrongun]

Jees umpy give us one of these LB's.

 

[Varun]

Pots and Kettles. I guess you are used to seeing J'dene scoring 370 runs at the SSC and failing everywhere else. I guess thats quality over quantity.

Why are we derailing this thread for Jayawardene, of all people? It's bad enough that we have to tolerate Dharmasena as it is.

Back to India v Australia - trail down to 18 now.

 

[mosh101]

Sir jaddu living dangerously

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia been trolled here.

 

[wrongun]

Pads are doing more work than bats right now.

 

[battler]

India grinding aus

 

[Senman]

BCCI should warn Australian players, "any excessive appealing will be taken as opposition against BCCI and might affect future career opportunities."

 

[Justcrazy]

India trail by 16 runs with 5 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

India what 62 times the population of SL. Been playing Test cricket for over 80 years compared to SL's 30 years. India have more resources than rest of the Test nations combined. Yet basically on level pegging to SL when it comes to away stats LMAO )

Ind W/L 0.37
SL W/L 0.35

[IamIndian]

So what about rest of the 1.25 billion? (which includes 40% of the world's poor) LOL

Why a Srilankan worry about Poor Indians in a Pakistani Cricket Forum..? Also can't understand from where you got the 40% figure. Our government is doing brilliantly to eradicate poverty from India. Let us give them some time.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

It's starting to look as if scoring runs in the last overs of an ODI .

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[SL_Fan]

Pattinson knocks over sir Jaddu. Shame he hasn't received much support from the other end.

 

[Justcrazy]

Too late , damage already done.

 

[Justcrazy]

India likely to get a good solid lead here.

 

[Justcrazy]

tea approaching fast

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashwin averages in mid 40s with the bat

 

[Wassixpakistani]

VVS Ashwin is in .

 

[battler]

I am sad that sir jaddu fell only 284 runs short of his triple hundred

 

[Justcrazy]

Indian Tailenders can add valuable runs here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies would be happy to draw this game.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

I am sad that sir jaddu fell only 284 runs short of his triple hundred

No worries , he'll get them in his next 15 or 20 tests and no doubt he will play that many tests .

 

[SL_Fan]

Starc gets an edge but the ball doesn't carry. Clarke looks to be in a bit of pain there after trying to stop that one.

 

[Random Aussie]

Aussies would be happy to draw this game.

No we wouldnt be. A draw is OK but we have had our chances in this match to take control, and havent been good enough, Clarke and Patto aside.

 

[Fire Bird]

Wow just saw Sir Jadeja get out. What a class act this Sir Jadeja is. Lovely leave for a ball close to offstump. Sir Jadeja just about 280 runs short of his landmark triple ton.

 

[Senman]

So what about rest of the 1.25 billion? (which includes 40% of the world's poor) LOL

They might be infinitely better than Dharmasena but unfortunately they don't get as many opportunity as ICC gives Dharmasena

 

[Senman]

No we wouldnt be. A draw is OK but we have had our chances in this match to take control, and havent been good enough, Clarke and Patto aside.

Yes anything less than a win by Aussie is unpardonable, you got to help us kill the test cricket.

 

[Fire Bird]

No worries , he'll get them in his next 15 or 20 tests and no doubt he will play that many tests .

issed:

 

[Irshadbhat]

Brilliant effort by Patto i doubt many fast bowlers will take any wickets on this dead and slow pitch

 

[SL_Fan]

India in the box seat now. Just a few runs behind. ATM looking like Ind win 50%, draw 40%, Aus win 10%.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

issed:

Be pissed at Dhoni yar , I have no say in the matter .

 

[Random Aussie]

Yes anything less than a win by Aussie is unpardonable, you got to help us kill the test cricket.

Well its India, usually by day three we are getting thrashed....

 

[Fire Bird]

Be pissed at Dhoni yar , I have no say in the matter .

I have been mad at 's captaincy from 2010. Clueless in terms of strategy and player selection

 

[SL_Fan]

I don't see Aus scoring more than 250 in their 2nd innings. Dhoni's fast paced innings may well be the difference in the end. Super knock.

 

[Gunther]

No we wouldnt be. A draw is OK but we have had our chances in this match to take control, and havent been good enough, Clarke and Patto aside.

Any guesses as to what happened to Siddle ? I had a feeling that he would the play 'Anderson' role for you guys

 

[Wassixpakistani]

I have been mad at 's captaincy from 2010. Clueless in terms of strategy and player selection

Well , you can calm down a bit since he's leading from the front here unlike someone else

 

[SL_Fan]

The lion knocks over rashwin.

 

[SL_Fan]

Lion bowling much better all of a sudden.

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Bhajji showing his class. Trolling whole of Aussie team )

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

CSK Hero

 

[SL_Fan]

Dhoni gets his 100 with a boundary. Brilliant knock. Match winning one most likely.

 

[TM Riddle]

what an innings from dhoni!

 

[TM Riddle]

his 6th test hundred

 

[SL_Fan]

Bhajji showing his class. Trolling whole of Aussie team )

Yeah lol only just came out to bat as well. Hilarious.

 

[SL_Fan]

Wade was being a dk. Harby you go gurl!

 

[SL_Fan]

Now Harby takes out the short leg followed by the umpire

 

[Gunther]

Natha hobo Lyon doing a good job considering that it is only the first dig

 

[TM Riddle]

dharmasenas got some good reflexes

 

[Random Aussie]

Any guesses as to what happened to Siddle ? I had a feeling that he would the play 'Anderson' role for you guys

He has been disappointing so far. Has bowled in India before, he is a senior bowler with 130 Test wickets at 28ish, he needs to step up. Fortunately for him, Patto has burst out of the blocks but this could have been very ugly if that didnt happen.

I dont expect him to take wickets at 20 in India, but I would expect him to take a few at 30-35 and lead the attack.

 

[SL_Fan]

Scores level.

 

[SL_Fan]

Natha hobo Lyon doing a good job considering that it is only the first dig

Should have done way better in these conditions though. Has been a bit one dimensional.

 

[Varun]

Now Harby takes out the short leg followed by the umpire

My heart leapt when I realized it was youknowwho.

 

[Varun]

Lyon will come good in the second innings I think.

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

A 70-100 run lead will be a deciding one in the game.

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Sixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[SL_Fan]

Harby taking it to the lion.

 

[TM Riddle]

lol cracking shot from dhoni..4

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Man. They are going after Lyon now.

 

[SL_Fan]

Dhoni blasts that one to the boundary.

 

[MarkCooper]

This is great if you are from England because whoever loses we are happy!

 

[Gunther]

Should have done way better in these conditions though. Has been a bit one dimensional.

He is no Swann or Monty but obviously an improvement over guys like Hauritz/Doherty. They might as well try out Agar with Lyon leaving one of Siddle or Stark out

 

[SL_Fan]

The lion getting neutered.

 

[Varun]

Lead by 13. We'll probably get bowled out soon though. Match is more even than some think, because we likely won't turn up in the fourth innings.

 

[Varun]

This is great if you are from England because whoever loses we are happy!

Thankfully, those prima donnas and their press have migrated from one corner of the planet where they reside, to another. So it's all hush-hush from them for the time being.

But I bet the headline rolling around their quills is "Joe Root: The New Batting Revolution?" at present.

 

[Varun]

Nearing 400 now. I thought this score was impossible at 12/2 with Sachin walking out.

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Bhajji noticeable contribution in the game. Attempting to Run out Dhoni

 

[Varun]

Siddle to Dhoni, 1 run, short of a length, pushed wide of point. There are three - at least three - indecisions about this comfortable single. Dhoni hasn't even completed the single, and beings to gesticulate towards Harbhajan. After that they walk up to each other, have a chat, knock gloves, and are back at their own ends

They aren't exhibiting any signs of digging in IMO. Hope they realize we're just fifteen in front.
