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

[hineyrulz]

He can bat all day for fifty runs as far as I'm concerned.

Gen Y will not be pleased though.

f**k Gen Y, we have a test match to win. If he's there at lunch he's more than doing his job.

 

[yappy]

even stranger, the hands are deemed to be part o the bat, you you can hit the ball away with the bat but not your hands

I suspect that if your hands were in contact with the bat, you could then use your hands

correct.

Why do I picture Ozbash in an Indian cricket shirt?

My grandfather once told me an opener has one job - to take the shine off the ball.

Anything else is a bonus.

Yep, good to see an old fashioned opener.

Cowan in his first test is doing well. Just because he's 14 at lunch doesn't mean he'll be 42 at stumps.

More rain, what a shithole of a place.

Yeah he does tend to accelerate as he goes along.

he's there at lunch - the most important thing for an opener.

 

[Twizzle]

yeh I got no problems with Cowan, he's still there so he's done his job

 

[Desert Qlder]

Watchful and careful with their wickets is all we can ask of our national cricket side at present. We are not the side we used to be and the public cannot expect that.

If we lose taking this approach I would not be upset, and I don't think I'd be alone.

 

[chrisD]

I'd be happy if he bats through the next session for another 14.

 

[umina panther]

Hopefully Watson never opens again

 

[Red Bear]

Khan looks a spent force compared to when I last saw him bowl

First test match in quite a while after a long injury lay off, cant judge straight away.


Cowen could probably tick singles over a bit more, but that will come with time in the middle and time in the team. More than happy to see him still there and has shown a patience up the top lacking since the injury to Katich's achiles last November

He'd be in a sheep by now

My prediction looks to be coming true. Guarantee no team takes 20 wickets. Called it a week ago.
