1st Test - Australia v India at Melbourne Dec 26-30, 2011

[Desert Qlder]

Clarke's decision to bat is looking ordinary now.

 

[innsaneink]

Thought Hughes was dropped

 

[Hallatia]

I think it's seriously geniused to have so many test players playing T20s in between test matches. It saddens me that the BBL has so much support, but hopefully cricket Australia will see that it's bad for the test players to be involved

 

[Hallatia]

was Punter allowed to kick the ball away like that?

 

[Mr Angry]

Nice spell here from the young fella.

 

[clipser]

Lol @ commentary saying Australian captain

 

[El Diablo]

was Punter allowed to kick the ball away like that?

yes

hands not allowed

 

[Red Bear]

Geez Locky, good to see we have Marsh in who goes hard at the ball and plays his shots, I mean Khawaja leaving that alone would only have avoided getting out and who needs that in a test team.

 

[snoozer]

Nice spell here from the young fella.

looks alright.

 

[Desert Qlder]

was Punter allowed to kick the ball away like that?

Yes he may, but he's not allowed to take runs from such an action.

 

[Mr Angry]

Nice Dhoni, Sharma had to.come on.

Clarke's decision to bat is looking ordinary now.

Two terrible shots, hardly the captains fault.

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

did Marsh play in the PMs XI game? Hes not yet at the status to just warrant coming back after 3 months off probably. Actually theres probably not a guy in our XI who is.

 

[snoozer]

ponting seems very late on some of his shots.

 

[Twizzle]

was Punter allowed to kick the ball away like that?

yeh, no problems

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

Two terrible shots, hardly the captains fault.

Marsh yes, Warner no.

I know it was first ball after the break but people have to realise if we pick Warner that the same shots which get him runs are going to get him out. He will get out to a fair few ordinary shots in his career.

 

[Twizzle]

that shot from Marsh was terrible, typical T/20 hack shot with no footwork and just reaching for the ball

great idea playing T/20 prior to a test match

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

smh

People blaming Clarke already

yes

hands not allowed

You'd think the cricket know it all would know that

 

[hineyrulz]

Marsh yes, Warner no.

I know it was first ball after the break but people have to realise if we pick Warner that the same shots which get him runs are going to get him out. He will get out to a fair few ordinary shots in his career.

Probably, the shot was maybe on but first ball after a break was the problem.

It's ok, he played in the Big Bash for warm up.
