3rd Test: Australia v India at Perth Jan 13-17, 2012

[Red Bear]

Hilfy bowling supurbly at present.

Match will be lucky to last three days looking at the bowling at present. Cracks already appearing as well

 

[Fast Eddie]

I'd drop Gambhir but keep the rest. For now. VVS on his last chance though.

 

[Red Bear]

Gambhir. Laxman. Dravid. Even Sehwag. All reputation, no form. Time for a clean out India.

Five test tons including three in a badly beaten side in england is no form?

 

[Timbo]

Barring Tendulkar and Dravid, India needs to scrap their entier top 7. All reputation.

Fair enough.

I guess with Dravid I was making that judgment based on a combination of his age (turned 39 on Wednesday) and how he's looked in the 2 previous Tests (very average)

 

[Sam_the_man]

The balls really moving around so far.

 

[aussies1st]

Hilfy is bowling like a demon. Swinging and seaming it like crazy.

Yeah he's looked dicey of the last two tests. You can just lose it at that age (and he's had a fair career already!).

Laxman I'm not sure, looked awesome second innings in Sydney and when he bats well is Mark Waugh like in how easy it looks. I think Laxman and Dravid could go at the same time really, Tendulkar looks to have life in him yet. Sehwag has a bit of time on his side although has has a bit of the Ponting in him, in that as an eye player he can lose it earlier than those who have a really solid technique to back themselves.

 

[El Diablo]

why is this f**knut Brayshaw there?

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Hilfy is bowling like a demon. Swinging and seaming it like crazy.

He's no Simon Doull though.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Is that James f**king Brayshaw commentating?

 

[Sam_the_man]

why is this f**knut Brayshaw there?

Just the question was about to ask. How long before he spews out an AFL reference?

 

[Hallatia]

why is this f**knut Brayshaw there?

because nobody else wants to travel to Western Australia?

 

[aussies1st]

Looks like Hilf is setting Dravid up for the inswinger again.

 

[El Diablo]

Is that James f**king Brayshaw commentating?

yes

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Slater, Brayshaw, Healy. The 3 stooges of commentary.

Runs to be scored if you get your eye in. Fastest outfield in Australia and the bounce will suit shotmakers.

 

[Meth]

First boundary.

 

[aussies1st]

Dammit Starc the ball up.

 

[Red Bear]

Wellington>Canberra

Anyway, Brayshaw and Healy together is pretty bad. Im guessing Richie hasnt made the trip over to Perth

Ain't that the truth.

Richie and Bill Lawry don't go over there do they? Dooes Benaud even go to the Gabba anymore?
