1st Test: Australia v India at Chennai February 22-26 , 2013..

[BunniesMan]

Dhoni has scored 200 out of 241 runs since he's gotten in. Stunning.

 

[MSIH]

Is this australia's worst ever test match bowling attack? patto's and sids are just ok, lyon, henriques, starc are terrible, terrible and terribly overrated respectively. embarrassing

Pattinson just ok? He's an elite bowler, and the only bowler looking at all threatening.

Doesn't take long for all the Clarke knockers to crawl out from under their rocks.

 

[BunniesMan]

From cricinfo:

Eight minutes to go. Four overs to be bowled. Clarke, I am sure, is thinking of that too. Because if he is banned for over rate, Australia will lose their best batsman and best spinner

Sad coz it's true.

when did i have a go at clarke? hes our only hope! probably a bit harsh on patto tho, has had sfa support

Only one team can win now, obviously. Hindsight is wonderful, but yeah, the Aussies could have used another spinner, especially one that can turn it away from right handers.
Nathan Lyon is absolute rubbish of the lowest order. He's got only one ball, and even with that one ball, he can't adapt his length to the conditions. Australia is in a huge hole in terms of spin bowling.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Hahaha that's Gold!

Also Pattinson is a gun young fast bowler. Don't know why anyone would think he is merely average.

 

[Earl]

Hope Maxdero has been working on his stock delivery cause barring a f**king miracle hes gunna need it for the 2nd test

 

[lockyno1]

No Big Show, no hope, lets be honest.

Sorry Hutty, that 2nd paragraph was directed at some scrubs earlier. Locky etc.

 

[TheParraboy]

Australia 380

India 515/8 (141.0 ov)

India lead by 135 runs with 2 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

Stumps - Day 3

 

[BDR]

Really painful the way they've let these last 4 wickets drag out. Has probably cost us a chance at winning the match now.

Intriguing day of play ahead tomorrow.

 

[Mr Spock!]

How did Moises go with the old ball?

 

[Rosetta]

Lyon has 3/182 on that, embarrassing.

Lyon has 3/182 on that, embarrassing.

I should be driving my car on that

[Xfactor1979]

Time for Dhoni to pile on 300 against the most deserving team to do it against

AUSTRALIA!

And when Dhoni does that it will mark the pinnacle in achievement for India from a third world country to a dominant world superpow... eh stuff it!

 

[Xfactor1979]

We will need 400 in the 2nd dig to be a chance.

^ Not sure if serious or just trolling

If we scored 400, stumps would be drawn on day 5

 

[vvvrulz]

No Big Show, no hope, lets be honest.

With you one can't be sure if that's a joke or not.
That said, even TBS would have bowled better than Lyon.

And that pitch unsurprisingly is a disgrace.

 

[vvvrulz]

Is Bhatterswesh (sp) Kumar or whatever his name is capable of holding a bat?

Ok work with me here...

Bhoo-varn-esh-war.

It's not hard, really.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

That pitch is a disgrace. If any side other than India had dished that up then the ICC would be all over them. Once it was justifiable for India to produce poor pitches as they had no money for equipment but not in this day and age.
