How has Warne managed to dupe so many broadcasters into believing he is who we want to hear?

lol pitch ripping up already

 

[yobbo84]

3 balls in and Warne is already whinging about Renshaw not rotating the strike. Fair dinkum.

This.

Have no idea how people like Warne continue to get commentary gigs in various countries. Reminds me of certain personnel in the NRL such as James Hooper, who likewise, continue to get media gigs.

Spin second over of the test match

 

[undertaker]

Looking at that pitch, this test match should be over well before day 5. If it shares any resemblance to the Nagpur pitch that was dished up to South Africa a couple of years ago where it was a rank turner from day 1, every run is going to be crucial and a fifty from a batsmen could well and truly be a match-winning innings.

 

[8Ball]

Will Australia make it to lunch?

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

And honestly dropping Ussie is a f**king travesty...

Not really. Not as if he will score runs on a turning pitch

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

Serious Question is the former best all rounder in Australia (from the Sydney test cant even remember his name) injured or was that average of 6 from MMarsh just too much to ignore

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

Not really. Not as if he will score runs on a turning pitch

Yeah who'd have thought an in form batsmen would score runs...

 

[8Ball]

Amazing turn and bounce 20 balls in

 

[jargan83]

So a ball just turned to first slip? (I'm following on Cricinfo until I get home)

i'm watching on the foxtel go at work it hit Renshaws arm then the keepers glove.. I think

 

[Meapro Ham]

Not sure why the Indians feel the need to serve up a pitch like that. They'd beat us easily on decent pitches. They hardly need to serve up a pitch that looks like it'll fall apart by day 3
