1ST TEST: India v Australia Mohali Oct 1-5

[African Monkey]

Lunch day 5

India need 54 runs, we need 2 wickets

If we win by 9 runs or less, we can thank Norths brilliant 2nd dig of 10 runs

:lol:

Okay seems we can forgive Ponting for not using Bollinger, hes off the field.

 

[Gaba]

ponting is doing as he normally does , no cricket brain

This core group of players have managed to achieve everything possible in terms of loosing. Lost our first home series in 15 years, lost our first test in how many ever years to pakistan, conceeded the highest ever run chase against them, almost lost a few tests to the windies, severe batting collapses, lowest test totals by an australian side, letting teams off the hook when weve had them smashed and now we are about to lose another test match which we had around our fingers.

india have this one all but wrapped up now

 

[aussies1st]

Haha here we go North to spin us to victory.

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

We are relying on North and Watson to win us the game?

 

[JW]

Be good if Moffo could make an appearance right now and back India.

 

[kingcarney]

The whole tactics since Singh was dismissed a disgracefull. So many easy runs. Why bother giving Laxman the single every time? What happened to Bollinger.

I can not believe we have lost this test. We are close to the dumbest test nation there is and Kudos to India, they play there cricket with a bit more intelligence than us.

 

[Twizzle]

why the f**k would you have 2 part timers on when India only need 25 runs

wouldn't it make sense to try and bowl them out

wonder who Ricky's bookie is

the amount of singles being offered to Laxman is just plain stoopid, he is not trying to get Laxman out ffs

 

[Gaba]

year after year ponting shows each game he doesnt have the brain to be a captain and continues to be picked


Sack the selectors

 

[hineyrulz]

Ricky doing what he does best, letting games slide away. He was able to get away with it when Warnie and Pidge were around.

 

[TheParraboy]

we can still win, one more wicket, then tailender

not over yet, keep the faith lads

Australia needs india to lose it , Australia wont win it not with ponting as captain ,

They are his mates and he wants them to get the glory or lose the test trying.

 

[lockyno1]

You know I rather we lose at the moment anyway, the Ashes is the bigger picture. Lets be honest guys, North and spud Hussey are more likely to be dumped if we lose!

Ponting sucks.

 

[Gaba]

i cant understand how people continue to defend ponting the worst Australian captain

from f**king day one of his captaincy career you can see he didnt have a cricket brain

 

[lockyno1]

Lol PB..I'd have more faith if Ponting suffered a season ending injury! As I said watch Ponting lose it from here when we got Harby out!:lol:

 

[aussies1st]

Hauritz could be gone at this rate.

Well lets be honest a dead dog could have had a successful captaincy rate with Warne/McGrath/Gillespie/MacGill, etc in teh side, lets not mention the batting side.

He was always made to look decent despite being awful.
