India vs Australia - ODI

[IceTemple]

What do you mean Agarkar completely turned the game around? What about Yuvraj Singh's 44 of 33? They were equal in importance.

Mind you even I could have batted against that sort of pathetic bowling! Brad Williams 10o 0m 67r with only Singh's thrown away wicket.

Harvey & Hogg did what was needed as far as holding back the runs while Bracken got 3 wickets. Williams and, to a lesser degree, Bichel were very disappointing. Bichel needed to stand up as he is a front runner while the others are out. On his first effort I would give him 5/10.

It was a tough wicket to bowl on for sure but they needed to make better of it than they did.

It's up to our batsmen now. Go Gilly & Haydo!!!!

 

[Minkus_Swan]

Gilchrist and Ponting gone in quick succession. Time for Haydos to step up and hit boundaries, now that Martyn's in.

Damn, I was going to go to sleep.

 

[Minkus_Swan]

Hayden gone, batting depth looking average after Bevan.

 

[hirthy]

We're gone i reckon. Although theres always hope with Bevan still to come. One more wicket and i'm to bed.

Harvey Bowled...think i will go get some sleep

 

[Deestroy]

9/233 off 47.
After a good start the Aussies fell apart, it's as good as over now.

 

[Jars458]

Australia find it very difficult to chase high totals without Darren Lehmann.

Not a bad effort considering the outs and having to bat in the worst of the conditions

It was like an insect colony out there.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Brad Williams sent down some of the biggest pies since Craig Matthews was playing for Australia.

What's with bloody Laxman - does nothing most of the time and then stars against us! Tendulkar's 100 wasn't his best, but he played well on the wicket.

Oh well, meaningless series, as they all are apart from the World Cup.

 

[JLC]

You will find that Laxman had a good series against New Zealand in the test matches and is in good form.

tHANKFULLy i didnt get to see Bevan bat. He makes cricket so painful to watch. He never used to be like that.
