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

[lockyno1]

Hauritz could be gone at this rate.

He has not been the worst. Lets be honest, punt North and play both Smith and Hauritz. If there was one thing to be learnt it is that you can't carry 2 useless batsmen in a test lineup!

 

[lockyno1]

You forgot the main one..

LOST TO FRIKEN ENGLAND NOT ONCE BUT TWICE!

Well going by how Hauritz isn't being used, it's hard to see Ponting saying pick Hauritz again.

 

[JW]

Still he persists with North.

Ricky Ponting , tactical genius ! :sarcasm:

I dont care even if we do pull this off , ponting is a f**king dunce!

 

[Gaba]

Bring back Brett lee and put him as captain , he would be 200 times better then ponting

 

[TheParraboy]

Sharma has equalled his highest test score of 31*, lovely

Not saying it is an excuse, but there has been some whispers that Hauritz has been hit with a stomach bug this test. As I said though, piss North off and play both spinners.

 

[aussies1st]

Oh no question North has to go.

 

[lockyno1]

Hussey should join him at the retirement lounge, and Ponting should be replaced as skipper. If that means he is too pig headed to step down, then dump him. The team is bigger than an individual!

 

[aussies1st]

That looked like it was going down but Sharma has been lucky to still be there.

 

[Twizzle]

what a pathetic LBW decision

 

[lockyno1]

Amazing Ponting when you stop bowling your boyfriends.

Great ball Hilfy

 

[Iafeta]

Bowden must have lent Ian Gould his guide dog. Another great decision.

 

[Twizzle]

Amazing Ponting when you stop bowling your boyfriends.

Great ball Hilfy

[kingcarney]

great a wicket now a perfect time to bring on hussey and north.

doesnt matter the game is lost india deserve it they dont play like morons

 

[aussies1st]

Had some late movement on it so good ball in that respect.

 

[lockyno1]

Yeah, still a good ball, and amazing a yorker. Who would have guessed that a tailender missed a yorker!

 

[roopy]

what are the odds on the third ever tied test?

 

[Twizzle]

why is there no pressure whatsoever on Laxman ffs ?

He's been allowed to play himself in and hit the ball where ever he likes
