Pakpassion Live at the WACA | Day 1 | Aus v Ind Test 3

[Shoaib Naveed]

Hi Guys

Welcome to the WACA...For the first day's play where Aus have won the toss and decided to bowl first. Both teams playing four fast bowlers....National anthems going on right now.

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Ground filling up and will be full for the day's play, WACA I have to say much smaller than seen on T.V capacity would be top 18000 or so...probably one the best viewing grounds for the spectator. Media facilities not any where close to where they should be though. All the print media in a put up tent at Mid Wicket!

 

[luvthegame]

the pitch looks green and fast..typical waca pitch.

 

[luvthegame]

Ravi shastri does a lot aaaa...soft handsa anda...

 

[luvthegame]

love the aussie grounds...beautiful.

 

[luvthegame]

gambo fishing...

 

[luvthegame]

this pitch is fast...the indies wont know what hit them....

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Nervy start by Gambhir, the pitch is no where as green as it was two days ago but still has a lot og grass on it

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Close shave for Harris, Dharmasena turns it down looked to going down on first view...pitched outside leg

 

[luvthegame]

Nervy start by Gambhir, the pitch is no where as green as it was two days ago but still has a lot og grass on it

yes because they cut the grass before the match starts otherwise it will be unplayable.

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

As expected Sehwag goes edging

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Beautiful shape by Hilfenhaus....Dravid yet again playing the opener role

 

[DOOSRA95]

sevag out u beuty

 

[violet_may]

Sehwag

Didn't take too long.

 

[DOOSRA95]

Hope Aussies just cream the flat track bullies Endia!!!!!!!!!

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Australians bowling beautifully not fallin prey to the usual bowling short here at the WACA...keeping it full

 

[luvthegame]

cricinfo is biased..

"sehwag out cheaply" haha

cant they say:

"sehwag out for a duck"

 

[luvthegame]

the bowl is gone even before the batman get close to it..wow..its a fast pitch.

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Batsmen have actually been quite lucky so far not to edge one, both bowlers are dishing out some real peaches

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Beautiful shot by Gambhit, he is gaining in confidence as Ravi would be saying in the commentary box

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Another close shave, very close lbw...i guess good decision by umpire just going over...great stuff from short leg in a run out opportunity to follow

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

The little master walks in after a dreadful shot by Dravid...bowled again by Siddle

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Geoff Lawson on ABC: That was so out...given 9 out of 10 #AleemDarRocks

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Gambhir defying expectation and handling bounce well

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

The Little Master departs to an off cutter to Harris...good bowling and Harris gets a deserved wicket

 

[TalhaSyed]

I think the mayans have predicted Tandulkar to get his 100th 100 on the 22nd on of Dec 2012

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

HHHAHAHAAAA.....Gambhir #pointandlaugh #ausvind
Goes edging again to Hilfenhaus

 

[Sohaib011]

yar tum log ban ker do gay warn chair to ek bars zabardast had aya hai

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

India go four down into lunch... another awesome session for the Ozs...might actually see them bat before tea the way things our looking....lets see what happens in the post match session.

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Best ploy for Ind would be to play aggressive now, get as much as possible 220-250 is not bad here on this pitch and try bowling on first day

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

When he Kohli gets it right, his defense actually looks impeccably good #LetsJinxTheGrinch

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Pitch has settled after lunch...here is a chance for the Indians

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Kohli and VVS making a match of it, Kohli looking exceptionally good....Dhoni's pick paying off

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

these two are basically tintering on the series right here
aik aur wkt and that would have been it...is this the fight back the toursit have been waiting for

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Kohli out just when Ind were coming back...loose shot

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Siddle just turning it up a notch in the heat of Sydney...takes Laxman...EDGGGGEEED and Taken!

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

IND 6/144 at tea...those two wickets from Siddle the turning point after India had held their own in the first half of the post lunch session

 

[OZGOD]

Looking good so far. Let's see if the tail wags. Hopefully we knock them over for below 250.

 

[OZGOD]

Kumar trapped plumb in front

 

[OZGOD]

7/152. Why is Chappelli saying it wrong on the Star Sports commentary that I have to suffer through now that I'm back in Boston? It's 7-152 not 152-7!

 

[OZGOD]

Starc gets his first wicket of the match. At least he doesn't feel totally useless now

 

[OZGOD]

Here comes Zaheerdulkar. Some fireworks coming.

 

[OZGOD]

Come on Mitch try and hit him on the toe and injure him!

 

[MVP26]

what is vinay kumar doing in the team? ))

 

[OZGOD]

Dhoni swung away and MS edges to the slips. Eight down, Hilfy gets 3fer.

 

[OZGOD]

what is vinay kumar doing in the team? ))

Who is Vinay Kumar? Is he a batsman or bowler or both or neither?

 

[OZGOD]

Let's give these bowlers a bit of chin music

 

[OZGOD]

That one nearly decapitated Zaheerdulkar. Yorker next?

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Zaheer Khan's batting basicaly portrays India's summer...lack of application to the extreme

 

[OZGOD]

Which thread we using as the match thread? This or the other one?

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Pathetic stuff from Ind....Even Starc gets two.....Bundled out here 20 min after tea for a paltry 161...Aus bringing their A game but they are not a 4-0 side really

 

[Genghis]

Certainly oz are no 4-0 side but India certainly deserve a 4-0 hammering the way they've played.

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Both Aussie opneners just unleashing now...Aus playing at their ruthless best....Ind completely down in the dumps

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

The Massacre at Perth...it's going to be a slow and painful death for the tourists

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

I think this is the worst day for India actually...the S.A, Eng and this series combined #AusvInd

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Apas ki baat hai waisay....Warner kaaafi mazay ki chunday karata hai

 

[Shoaib Naveed]

Smacked.....Warner hits a six as crisp as you will ever see....WOW! what a knock!
