2nd Test: Australia v India at Sydney Jan 3-7, 2012

[crawfs]

What happened? He was devastating in the West Indies earlier in the year. Now he seems labored. I know the WI aren't Australia, but he seems lethargic.

Not sure, he was unplayable (particularly if your name was ricky ponting) last tour here. Doesn't seem to be getting the same nip off the pitch he was once renowned for. Similar to johnson sans swing.

I'm watching the cricket right now dickhead.

you may be watching the cricket but you're not seeing it.

 

[aussies1st]

I can see this ending badly for Clarke.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Ponting smashes the drive then a perfectly balanced pull shot. Good signs for Punter

 

[Leagueaddict]

the old guard finding their feet...Go Punter!

 

[hineyrulz]

This is the best Ponting has looked in ages.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

This is the best Ponting has looked in ages.

You can judge him by the pull shot. If he sees out the afternoon he could be adding to his SCG centuries

 

[hineyrulz]

f**k Nikelarse is a boring wanker, why are we stuck with this Pommy twat??? He taking out Ritchie ugly daughter or something????

 

[AlwaysGreen]

2 more wickets today and it's square. Although Australia's tail is longer and can wag much better than the Indians

Ah, if Australia's tail is longer than how can it wag better?

 

[hineyrulz]

Shot!!

 

[redvscotty]

I thought Ponting has looked good at least in the last 2 tests he's been in. Matter of time before he adds to his ton tally. Unsure if it will be this test, haven't been watching, only following on cricinfo.

 

[redvscotty]

One over and 3 fours in a row and the total is quickly looking tasty!


(well tastier than the indians total)

Yadav showing his true colours after all the luck he had in Melbourne had people fooled.

 

[aussies1st]

Wow put that in the how to bat tutorial, that was a masterclass for 3 shots.

 

[chrisD]

Yeah Clarke should settle down, Zaheer is a different class of bowler.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Omg why the f**k is Clarke is chasing that crap?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Yadav showing his true colours after all the luck he had in Melbourne had people fooled.

No. The guy can bowl. He was expensive in Melbourne as well, as you'd expect from a youngster.

 

[chrisD]

He's junk, his wickets were mostly gifts, Zaheer tires quickly and Sharma is somewhat out of sorts and consistently too short atm, but both are a cut above Yadav.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I reckon Zaheer would give his left nut for a yard more pace. He'd be a real handful then.

Clarke for a century here. Handspitter can get one too, but gone are the days where you'd put the house on it.

 

[crawfs]

Things seem to be settling down nicely. One of these two must go on with it...60s won't cut it this time.
