Second Test :: 17th - 21st October :: India vs Australia @ Mohali

[The Gambler]

Sharma is certainly a talent.

Haddin you idiot, get Ronchi or Tim Paine over there ASAP. Haddin may be decent in ODI's, but that is it. Does not have the technique for tests

 

[TimmyB]

Haddin gone for 9.

He's a blue so I love him, but he really needs to start producing.

Jeez I hope he does, I'd rather go for a younger keeper

 

[aussies1st]

None of our keepers are actually performing, we can't just throw in guys with no form under their belt. They will go worst than Haddin. If we had a form keeper then fair enough as we are carrying far too many players lately.

 

[hineyrulz]

Poor shot from Haddin, but who else is their?? Ronchi is an inferior keeper and far les consistent.

Ronchi and Paine can't be any worse! Haddin is hopeless behind the stumps, dropps catches and is useless with the bat

 

[aussies1st]

Ronchi is much worse behind the stumps and his batting is way too inconsistent. Paine bearly keeps for Tassie so that doesn't say much about his keeping. I'd rather give it to Mike Hussey and play a batter that can bat.

Paine, at least he is a better keeper and does not drop catches!

Paine keeps for Tasmania, has done it regularly since mid last year!

 

[Tommy Smith]

After having Healy and Gilly for 20 years Australia finally knows what its like to have a keeper/batsman that absolutely sucks ala Geraint Jones, Matt Prior, Chris Read, James Foster etc etc etc

 

[The Gambler]

Brett Lee to score a century!

 

[aussies1st]

Righto so lets bring in Paine who averaged 34.6 last season to replace Haddin who averaged 54.33....

Paine is younger, has more scope for improvement AND is a much better keeper behind the stumps..

White gone now..

 

[aussies1st]

Geez now we are carrying White, we may as well give India the trophy now.

Paine, at least he is a better keeper and does not drop catches!

Paine, Why???? Because he is hot :?

 

[hineyrulz]

We will be lucky to make it to lunch with the way we are batting, lucky Norman Gunston is still there.......

Lol so we might as well get Henriques in the side then as hes young and has more scope for improvement than Watson. Until Paine performs with the bat aka average during a season of FC of 50 he shouldn't be in the side.

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

Australia are goneskies.

Need to bat the next session. Even if we dont avoid the follow on, if you bat a bit of time at least it will make India think about it,or take it out of them for the 2nd innings. This has been far too easy.

Our only hope is somehow india bat next give us a day and a half - session to bat and we bat it out for the draw

How many catches does Haddin need to drop to get dropped. Lets remember he is not young!
