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

[hineyrulz]

It's a wonder that wasn't given as well.

 

[El Diablo]

Holy shit Erasmus gets one right.

he'll be sacked by the BCCI

 

[skeepe]

Didn't India make an official statement that they refused to play a match where Bucknor was the umpire last time they were here?

Wonder what would happen if Australia made a similar statement this time? Not that I'm condoning such scumbaggery of course.

 

[BunniesMan]

Imagine if Tendulkar gets given out in the 90s tomorrow to an iffy call that would have been proven wrong by referral...

 

[skeepe]

We need these two to stay until stumps. If we can do that, I think we'll have slightly edged the day, dodgy decisions and all.

Agreed. I also think if we can get to 350, that'll be a decent 1st innings score.

 

[hineyrulz]

350 would be par on this wicket. India are in front atm but these two are doing well.

#AusVIndia is going apeshit on Twitter

 

[hineyrulz]

He missed that by a mile.

 

[skeepe]

India appealing now for a catch off a shoe.

These pricks should cop a fine for over-appealing. It's unsportsmanlike conduct.

 

[Twizzle]

Laxman was carrying on a bit when it was given not out.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Along with Warner, Siddle is our form batsmen.

 

[El Diablo]

Australia should refuse to tour India from now on

they are pure scum

Last time that happened they refused to play. Sehwag was in his first test and got suspended. SA and India ended up playing an unofficial test.

Zaheer won't play all 4 tests this series. He may not even play in Sydney the way he's looking.

 

[hineyrulz]

One goes our way.

 

[aussies1st]

Oh cmon finish the eagle eye scene.

 

[Bazal]

Suck it India. Hadds very lucky

 

[skeepe]

Do they still give fines for slow over rates?

 

[skeepe]

Oh cmon finish the eagle eye scene.

Agreed, why won't they let it play through? I'm pretty sure it'll show he should have been given, but it would be nice to know for sure.

 

[Twizzle]

I think the Indian guy got sacked from Cricinfo.

84.5
Khan to Haddin, no run, pitched up on the stumps, appeal for lbw and it is turned down. First impression - pitched outside leg. Good length, drew Haddin forward and rapped the pad as he fell over. Ok, I was wrong - that pitched in line according to HawkEye. DRS would have given Zaheer the wicket. Deal with it, India.
