3rd Test Australia v India, Jan 7-11 at the SCG

[Mister B]

Well India will either win or draw. Absolutely nothing going our way.

 

[Plugger35]

Ashwin looks on borrowed time.

Close to being out a few times.

 

[Andrew Mc]

The physical action of running is a relatively small part of batting, which is why the laws allow a runner.

One would think the actual method of scoring (boundaries aside) is a bit more than that.

Just as a bowler can stand there and throw them down from the crease, the batsman can stand there and whack it if he wants to.

 

[CricketingErrors]

This will be like 5 overs and 3 wickets

 

[Browney2006]

India still have over 200 balls survive. Long, long time.

 

[k31th]

if they're going to keep bowling rising into the chest deliveries, surely a silly-mid-off is necessary?

 

[Jimthegreat]

How much more bad luck is possible.

 

[Dave]

Could Warne be barracking any harder?

 

[Crashy]

India need to score runs, put Aussies under pressure

They are just asking to get out trying to drop anchor

 

[Dogsman16]

That silly point position where wade took the catch in the first innings needs to be deployed.

 

[Browney2006]

Yeah nothing going Australias way at all.

Other than half the Indian team being injured...

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Fantastic stuff this Test Cricket caper.

 

[CricketingErrors]

For the dropped catches Paine must be praying Aus win somehow

 

[Andrew Mc]

Harsha would have to be one of, if not the sharpest blokest to ever commentate. Smooth as anything

I'm with you there - always good to listen to, both on TV and radio.

 

[Visions]

Well India will either win or draw. Absolutely nothing going our way.

When its your day its your day.

 

[big bootaaaaah]

Why is the bowling so venom less. Is it the pitch ?

As a bowler it's hard to get motivated when your keeper can't catch.

 

[eddiesmith]

Pretty sure Australia’s decided there is nothing in the pitch to make batting difficult so their only hope is to get the last 5 out retired hurt

 

[Mister B]

Yeah nothing going Australias way at all.

That's not luck. It's bad technique and poor man management.

 

[CricketingErrors]

Starc yorkers now. Much needed. An over or two

 

[Ducky Tie]

Starc yorkers now. Much needed. An over or two

He'd just bowl tame bouncers if he was on. Hasn't been his match.

 

[Browney2006]

That's not luck. It's bad technique and poor man management.

Luck was never mentioned in either post. Injuries for India is something going Australia's way

 

[Plugger35]

India need to score runs, put Aussies under pressure

They are just asking to get out trying to drop anchor

Unless they hit boundaries they are only scoring singles with Vihari struggling to run, don't know how anyone thought they were still a chance to win.

 

[iluvparis]

Whose that Asian bird with tugga?

#would

 

[BarryMorgan]

It seems that Warne’s much feted cricketing genius only extends to putting fielders in close and bowling spinners early these days.

 

[eddiesmith]

Davey is such a ****wit
