Australia vs India First Test - Adelaide Oval - Dec 9 - Dec 13

[Power Raid]

And the other keepers should be in consideration.

It should not be a Haddin or Wade option

yep, whoever is the best

Suddenly India are favourites on a batting paradise

Won' lie, I dropped $20 on them paying $8.10 just before the first ball today. Got a feeling that they can make a huge score here and trouble us if Warner doesn't fire again in the second innings (especially now Clarke is injured)

 

[Power Raid]

Remodelling the action.

really? was that due to reoccurring injuries?

I heard that his feet were in the position they should be for a side on action whilst his torso was where it should be for a front on action.

It was all very technical but sounded like it would lead to injuries

Day 1 - 25,619

Knowing that the rescheduling of the match did stuff up a lot of plans for a lot of people, thats a fairly healthy number. Saturday should be interesting, assuming the match lasts that long.

 

[frankrizzo]

I personally think Smith is ready.

Have to to agree that smith is ready now, question has to be if he really isn't ready now why will he suddenly be ready after the ashes when it's very likely haddin and increasingly likely clarke will both be gone?

Day 2 Morning session will be crucial, let's hope Clarke comes out with Smith

The two late wickets hurt. We were very well placed until then. You really need a minimum of 400 batting first in Adelaide. Still some work to be done.

 

[FalcoX]

The late wickets werent good but not too worried, this Indian batting line up will be no match for MJ, Ryno etc

Friday should be big original start day I'd imagine most people like me will still have the day off to head down

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Because you've captained so many cricket teams

Well, I have, but I fail to see what that's got to do with it.

Why is it when openers have to go out and face 3 or 4 overs at the end of the day, but every other batsman needs to be protested. Bloody ridiculous. Perfect wicket, popgun bowling, perfect light ... any batsman who can't go out and face up in those conditions is a squib.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Not that bad a call. Lyon batted longer than most of the line-up one of the UAE innings.

This is it. He went out there with still 8 overs remaining in the day. Plenty of time for Haddin to play himself in and maybe score a few runs. Just a shocking decision.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

So Rogers is the best opener we have in the counrty...well **** me. Haddin can go as well. Time to pension off some of these old fogies and get some younger guys in there.

I'm with you. I have nothing against eith player, as a matter of fact I've been a supporter of Haddin, but watching Haddin decide he needed a night watchman walk in before him with still 8 overs to go just doesn't smack of leadership. Time to try a new keeper in the 2nd Test.

 

[fiction]

But Haddin did get out, therefore, his decision to send a nightwatchman makes sense. Had Lyon survived those last overs, we might have seen Haddin opening today's play with Smith.

 

[Dan Cooper]

20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing.

 

[Dan Cooper]

Slightly off topic, but good to see Sean Abbott back in the wickets and importantly, enjoying his cricket.

 

[Harris Specter]

That passion in the middle bloke. That's what cricket is all about.

 

[Gough]

You could argue the Indians jusy made the most of the second new ball.

Whether he's ready or not, someone has to captain and without Haddin and Clarke who else would you get?

 

[ManWithNoName]

Warner almost pulled out of the Test. His comments about being on 63 are interesting.

The left-hander said it was the most distressing part of the day and believes the 63 mark will be significant for every current Australian cricketer for as long as they play.

“It was such a horrific incident and a rare incident. At the back of my mind, even though a spinner was bowling, being on that number wasn’t right,” he said. “I just wanted to get past that and move on.

“In this generation it’s going to be with us the rest of our lives. I am going to carry it on (recognising 63) the rest of my career.”

Just terrific to see the lad back. I saw the footage on the news last night of him bowling a bouncer and the Shield crowd giving him a cheer.

Hai Chappelli.

(BTW: I'm with you ... nightwatchmen are for the final two overs of a day, if at all.)

 

[Andronicus]

Anyone give pup any chance of batting again this game?

This innings or next? Personally I can't see him playing again this series, but my glass is half empty.
