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

[Hutty1986]

At least patto's still plugging away, he deserves that haul. If we don't get done by an innings, hard to see India having to chase more than 50-100 to win and go 1-0 up.

 

[Horrie Is God]

I'm surprised that Scissorhands didn't spill it..

 

[Hutty1986]

Any rain forecast in Chennai by any chnace?

 

[Twizzle]

make that 12 byes so far today for scissor hands

 

[Sphagnum]

Tailenders farming the strike. Why not just declare instead of wasting another 20 overs getting 20?

I liked this comment of ESPN:

"Can't belive the criticism of Lyon. His test average is the same as Harbahjan's and Ashwin's and better than Jadeja's. Dhoni plays a once in a lifetime innings and it's Lyon's fault? Get a grip...seriously"

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I would have declared with 5-8 overs last evening and stuck it to the Aussies.

But no one really seems to make bold declarations that often.

To be fair, it's hard to be too dissapointed with Lyon when the only other alternatives we have on this tour are Doherty's Darts, Smith's Pies and the Magnificent MaxDerp Stock Ball*

*work in progress

This series will just be the reverse of 2011/12.

4-0 here.

Us ar$e raped there.

 

[Sphagnum]

The thing about India is;
1) Their average age is 170
2) They are absolutely allergic to hard work
3) They will allow this game to define the whole series

All we have to do is bat and bat and bat and bat and bat

They have nothing when there is no momentum. It is time for all of these so called heroes in our top order to step the f**k up and prove they are worthy of their test caps.

 

[Hutty1986]

lol, this Kumar nuffy is into the 30's. We are terrible.

 

[Springbokfly]

Have a quiet feeling today will be the day of Hughes and Clarke. I predict they'll both score big in building us a 200+ run lead.

:lol:

I would love to use this game as part of a background in a Bollywood movie

Harbajian gets faceless Aussie batsman out

Crowd goes bonkers! and Sharukh Khan and Preity Zinta cheer along with the crowd

 

[8Ball]

The Big Show on the field for 2 balls and almost gets a wicket.

 

[JW]

Maxwell subbed on to the field.

Second worst thing that could possibly happen to Aussie Test Cricket.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Yay so he predicts we lose 3 quick q
Wickets, we will be 2 for 149 at close of play

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I'm going out tonight to watch Garbage.

Had enough of this.

We'll be 4/121 by stumps. Hughes 0 or thereabouts.

Thanks to Watson. Got of him to take one for the team and not bowl.

2 days in the field in indian heat and humidity

At least the Aussie players get a 'western style' toilet unlike the old days where you go at a hole in the ground

 

[BunniesMan]

The 215 runs Lyon gave up is the 17th most in Test cricket history.
