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

[El Diablo]

I agree about the pitch, I dont care what the commentators say, they are going off history and statistics.

This isn't a normal pitch imo, we need a 300 lead to be safe.

350+ imo

 

[chrisD]

2 good overs from Zaheer was enough to pick up 2 wickets, soft shit.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Like I said, you need 350. Or to knock Sehwag over cheaply.

 

[Twizzle]

be very happy with 350 but we'll need to settle for 200-240 I think

then again if we bowl well it may still be enough

Hussey does not seem to be struggling on this pitch, so how will Tendulker and Dravid go on this pitch ?

x2, we want 300.

 

[chrisD]

I think we could still kick on to 300+, besides Zaheer I'm not seeing anything to fear from their bowling atm.

 

[Hutty1986]

I wonder if the Hussler will put the foot down and really go after them if we lose another quick wicket?

 

[chrisD]

Thank god.

 

[lockyno1]

LMAO Dravid haha

 

[Mr Angry]

Dropping Hussey, everybody seems to want to play. NZ plays dropping Clarke.

 

[chrisD]

Haha Dravid thought he had it then it squirted out.

 

[madunit]

:lol: "ignorant"after we get annoyed at our side throwing away yet another promising position in a test match. Not sure test 4's are there to make 50's

And test openers are expected to put together a partnership over 31 runs on more than 35% of the time, but don't let that get in the way if your unknowkedgable opinion.

Fact is, there are other players in the team performing much worse than ponting, but that won't stop the dickheads calling for punters head, without realising that he's more valuable to this team than a lot of you fools realise.

 

[aussies1st]

Well the public said we needed 300 so they clearly see more sense than those commentators.

 

[Sam_the_man]

That catch should have been taken no matter what grade of cricket you play let alone test cricket.

 

[Sam_the_man]

Yadav on fire.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Man your batting is absolute rubbish these days.

 

[chrisD]

God damn, that was a nice.

FTR, I don't & have never claimed Punter should be dropped. But he should have gone on with it, just like he should have several other times in the past two years.

Sids goes, wonder what Huss will do now

 

[Mr Angry]

I like seeing things tried.

 

[Hutty1986]

We are going to need another 5/6 wicket haul from someone to be any remote chance. We are at least 100 runs short
