ind vs aus, test series (1 Viewer)

[Rahul]

oh ok, but wasnt that a hypothetical case, if langer was ommited

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

*smacks head* yeah you are right

 

[Rahul]

hehe

lol this is interesting, by steve waugh on the marytn run-out/sacrifice: I thought some of what I read about that was way over the top. It was a mix-up, these things happen in cricket. If you read the papers the next day, you'd think I'd committed a criminal act. Both of us were at fault, there was a mix-up, simple as that. There as a lot of finger-pointing, a lot of innuendo, and that's not right. Let's have some fair dinkum.

well i have to say its more waughs fault than martyn's...

but they were also going off at waugh 4 declaring the retirement too late leaving too little time for preparation... lol seriously....

 

[jayz]

ok, let's 4get about waugh 4 a sec. got a question for indian cricket fanatics, i dunt really noe much about the team, but y r batsman like ganguly placed so low in the batting order now? didn't he used to be like the 4th batsman or sumting?

 

[Rahul]

let me try to explain.

1/2. noone wants to open....sehwag would rather bat lower down the order, but it is packed with no spaces.

3. dravid is a good pick for no. 3, IMO
4. tendulkar wants to, and rightly so, should bat at no. 4
5. ganguly is kinda forced to bat this low then
6. laxman will always be after the capitain.

ganguly will remain low in the order, i think. his form overall in the last 3-4 yrs hasnt been great.

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

basically he sucked until the last test match

 

[jayz]

yes

zaheer is very likely to be out with a hammy! big blow for india....

 

[...]

Pointing..

what a beast...

 

[Rahul]

too true....just got his double ton....he had a couple of lives though, the dropped catch and the lbw descision.
oh well...just waiting till india bats..hope that they bat out the remaining days to piss australia off [very unlikely!]

 

[...]

but once australia gets off to a start like they have...i think its literally impossible to beat that...

i mean, their bowling attack is 'ok' atm...McGrath and Lee out..and Bichel played shit in the first test...Bracken is good, but meh...

hope Sachin can fire up..i really want him to play well...

 

[Rahul]

yeh same here...i really doubt that india have any chance at winning this game....very slim chance at winnning the series.
a draw from this game would be satisfactory.

 

[copious]

how good was ponting aye, but just impressive gillespie hitting 47* with the bat!

 

[...]

thats his highest score i think...

previous was 46...haha

 

[jayz]

yeah, dravid showed the way 2day! wif the other dude, laxman?

 

[copious]

199* at the end of play. i hope he gets that extra run.

and yea...hope he gets that extra run to get 200+

 

[scheah86]

how good was it reminded me of that last test in calculata where aus enforced the follow on in india won.
like i say

V.V.S Laxman = Very Very Special Laxman

haha..Sachin took a wicket..how much does he turn the ball!
its crazy..almost got Katich out first ball with that amount of turn!
