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

That's what we need, some frustration and rot to creep in.

 

[hineyrulz]

Based on what...Paine wouldn't have dropped an absolute sitter!

Paines hands are as soft as Sunshines Hammys, you love all the softcocks Locky.

 

[chrisD]

Don't know if that single was necessary.

Meanwhile.....Haddin has no idea how to catch the ball

Time for Wade to get in the team. Haddin gone. The Batting hasn't been as bad as the bowling has been good IMO. If that makes sense.

 

[umina panther]

Wade>Paine big time

 

[beads6]

Once again a shout out to Justin Langer, what a fine job he is doing.

So Warner, Marsh and Cowan played good shots....hmmm

 

[Meth]

Still evenly poised. This is a great Test match

 

[Mr Angry]

Game setup for a great finish.

Young bowlers v vastly experienced under pressure line up.

Would love to see a run out.

Yeah that is exactly what I said.. f**ken genius.

 

[beads6]

Yadav has bowled bloody well for the Indians, consistently over 140kms and generally around the mark.

 

[Red Bear]

Well, because Paine is the long annointed chosen one they are too scared to make a change. Should be Wade in the side now (or even Nev).

 

[lockyno1]

Yeah that is exactly what I said.. f**ken genius.

3 out of 8 wickets came from very poor shots, I will be tempted to call it 4 from 8 with Haddin's woeful effort! That is hardly great bowling, that is poor batting simple as that!

If you aren't including Haddin then why is Cowan's in there?

go back to your fashion clown.

Yep pitched it up got results.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Aussies are just about on top now. Handspitter and hussey will probably score hundreds here and Handspitter will point to the press box and give em a gobfull.

:lol::lol: Good prediction idiot.

 

[lockyno1]

go back to your fashion clown.

So in other words I am right...poor shots do not equal "great bowling". Some of the bowling was good, some. But hardly a great bowling performance, more a poor batting performance from ordinary batsmen.

The batting was poor but the bowling was good as well. Which is what I said but you are a genius and don;t understand that. When a bowler builds pressure on a batsmen that produces bad shots.
