Which is pretty annoying considering this is called the Melbourne Cricket Ground not the Melbourne Football Ground.

Sure

that's pretty disappointing

just saw the ground report on Fox, little bit of green tinge early but it will pretty much be a road after the first session, there was even talk of winning the toss and bowling because thats the only time they expect to get anything out of the pitch

Victorian football, proving to be un Australian yet again.

What does the C in MCG stand for again? Collington?

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Heading to the ground now.

Rain seems to be clearing and hopefully stays away.

I just had a bad thought about Australia's team: if Clarke gets injured does VC Haddin lead the side?:shock: and when Watson comes back he does :shock::shock:

So batting first, facing last years demons head on.

Not sure why everyone is bagging Indias attack so much. To me it seems lightyears better than ours. Bowlers like Sharma always kill it in Australia (Tremlett anyone?), while Zaheer is the best quick in either side, and Ojha is one of the better spinners in the world.

Go Warner!!!

Zaheer when fit is world class, no question. Beaker Sharma has all the tools to be very good but lacks consistency. Ojha is not playing, Ashwin is.

The 2 attacks cancel each other out really.

Wtf is this cheesy shit? Hang your heads 9 (and Clarke).

Sounds like the sun is out.

Clarke is painfully contrived, I throw up in my mouth a little every time I see him stoically staring off into the distance in slow motion.

 

[hineyrulz]

Bit of luck for Warner there.

 

[Twizzle]

expecting India to review that

no DRS seems to be a step backwards and India are the only mob against it

 

[hineyrulz]

Warner playing his shots.

 

[Twizzle]

Warner sure aint much of a leaver

 

[chrisD]

Ironic considering it was their whinging that was the catalyst for it. That said, I prefer their stance.
