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

[aussies1st]

He's like Siddle, can bowl some crackers but also has junk in him. No surprises what both players economy rates are in this match.

 

[Meth]

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

Right you are...

I meant *shorter

 

[Mr Angry]

Punter average over 60 at the SCG with 5 100s.

 

[chrisD]

I dunno, 60s would probably do the job given how India and our tail are batting.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

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.

I think I'll rely on my judgement over someone who calls top order batsmen wickets gifts and rates ishant Sharma.

 

[chrisD]

Agarkar, Pathan and Sreesanth were/are all capable of pearlers amid a sea of turds.

3/100

Great recovery here.

They were also given more than 5 tests to prove that they weren't up to it. Not that this guy is the next big thing but he's got obvious potential that will no doubt be wasted in the ipl and on Indian roads.

So is there a night watchman padded up???? Or has Clarke gone down the conservative Ponting path????

 

[hineyrulz]

India are hoisting the white Flag.

Pattinson gets one. But not Hussey

Superb batting from Ponting and Clark. Dravid and Laxman ought to take note.

 

[umina panther]

good fight back. my day 3 tickets look good again lol

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Box seat for Australia. Ponting and Clarke to cash in and score big ones tommorow. India proving that their short time as number 1 was just because of the vagaries of the system and not because they were the best.

I say long live the ipl - the more their players are playing that garbage the worst their test cricket gets.

 

[Leagueaddict]

Impressed with Clarke and Punter has looked relaxed. Lets hope they can carry on tomorrow and score a couple of tons together

 

[BunniesMan]

Calling it. Clarke and Ponting to both get centuries. With Pontings 100 buying him a spot in the team until 2023.

Australia to win and go ahead 2-0.

 

[skeepe]

Wow, is Dhoni the worst captain in world cricket? The batsmen are trying to do nothing but survive to stumps, and he sets conservative fields and bowls a part timer. What the f**k?

Looks like Clarke and Ponting will fail to score tomorrow, and Ponting will break his hand and never to be picked by Australia again.

just like you "called it" when you said neither sise would take 20 wickets last test?

and you called 50uff$ making the 8 and sining Bennett amongst many other things

As opposed to Zaheer, Sharma and Yadav who didn't look like taking a wicket? Part of being a captain is trying something new, lost on you it seems.
