Day After Day After New Year Test: Australia v India @ Sydney (Tue-Sat) Part 4

[Bucking Beads]

Yeah Laxman is a huge worry. Need an inspired spell from someone.

 

[XFactor1979]

Would have thought dropped catches or catches taken as % of chances would be more relevant. You can only take the chances that get presented.

He may have 9 catches from 9 chances.

argh! stop bandwagoning. haddin is irreplaceable end argument

 

[Drummond]

Hope he goes home hundred-less personally. Stuff being a part of history.

I want our bowlers being celebrated at the end of the series for being good enough to deny him that ton, rather than him being celebrated for getting it. Let him go home and make it against the Bangas for all I care.

Totally agree mate!!

But I bet he gets it today.

1 sachin century this summer is pretty good effort from our bowlers. I just want a result and not these two batting for 2 days!

Not expecting masses of wickets for Lyon but I would like to see him and Clarke devise a strategy for stopping the strike turnover.

Devise a danger plan if they want to score off him try and hit through the field to the boundary. See if they can dry the strike turn over.

 

[XFactor1979]

big fan of the abc commentary when kerry says to harsha: so... what did you do last night?

 

[danielnajdek]

I'd be very, very, very surprised if Tendulkar doesn't get a ton.

Better now than in Adelaide, where he'll definitely get one too.

Not enjoying the return of the lifeless pitch.

Could quite possibly see a double hundred in the Adelaide test.

It's a flatter pitch then this one in Sydney.

 

[Ted_Striker]

I am not defending him. Just saying that on that particular occasion, he wouldn't be expected to take those ones.

I don't really expect him to take anything anymore......
Phil Tufnell could of done a better job behind the stumps...

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Pup should give himself a few overs I reckon. Spin it away from the right handers instead of in. Worth a shot.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

I hope he gets it in a ODI so nobody cares.

Yes, completely situational.

The only indicator of the quality of a keeper for stats would be a "difficult catch" stat, an "easy catch dropped" stat and a "difficult take to deny byes" stat.

Those obviously would be to someone's discretion.

 

[Jef Costello]

Is there a better sight in world cricket than Laxman in full flow.

"Show us your wrists!"

pattinson getting closer to bringing up his own century...

Nice to see their are still those who appreciate talent on this forum, from both sides, and who can see past the " #### off " stuff

You have got to be kidding.

I would rather have a wheelie bin with the lid propped open placed behind the stumps.

Skull goes well after a big lunch - arvo session might be worth tuning in if these 2 get paired up later today? 'skippy' session was a classic early in this test!

 

[Bucking Beads]

We will need to rip in with the new ball.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Honeymoon phase over for Patto, let's see how he responds.

 

[Flawed Genius]

****. ****!

agreed. i always appreciate quality cricket regardless of the opposition. and love watching great batsmen in full flight

 

[Keys]

Add too short to the list of haddins flaws now as well

Just another limp-wristed troll from Xfactor.

Genuis!

Like a backboard in basketball!

Player #428 - WDU Sulo.

Sounds good to me.

You mean, not being able to jump at all..

 

[Glacier]

Wonder what the odds would be for India to bat out the game ?
For what it's worth I think the odds would be fairly short
