lol Ravi - "Did it carry"

 

[yobbo84]

Good pitch, FFS what a farce

 

[hineyrulz]

First one gone through the surface bit over an hour in lol, pitch is fine though lol.

 

[_snafu_]

This pitch is worse than my specially prepared Xmas day pitch in the backyard.

 

[Sime_11]

that should take the pressure off Smith atm - good shot for 4

does anyone else score double figures this innings now?

 

[yobbo84]

Given our two world class batters are both right-handed, I hope this pitch doctoring comes back to bite the BCCI in the arse. They've looked fairly untroubled by anything save for the odd variable bounce.

Match Referee is Andy Pycroft. If he marks this pitch anything lower than very good he'll be called a racist and be deported from India via cannon.

Haydos has offered absolutely no insight so far. How did he get the job?

is he their because he didn't have a fight with his girlfriend and a morning tv show host?

I thought Mark Waugh got the gig.

 

[yobbo84]

Smith has hit 2 scoring shots from his last 46 balls and isn't the slightest bit concerned. He has unparalleled concentration.

 

[Haffa]

Who let these bald people into the game? Send them back to Victoria.

 

[TheParraboy]

Seeing I've only got povTV I'll be depending on you nerds for accurate, non bias comments.

Lol, this will be over before tea today.

Get Kayo ya rabbit

I’m counting the days til Gavaskar kicks the bucket. Harsh I know but I look forward to telling anyone who’ll listen that he was a good bat but not as good as any of the Australian batsman.

 

[hineyrulz]

MThis is good old fashioned test cricket, takes me back to the days of Ashley Mallett bowling 597 overs in a row again Sunil Gavaskar in Calcutta back in the 70s.

 

[hineyrulz]

This has been world class from Labs so far.

 

[Fangs]

Very good recovery. Need another 50 out of these two then we will get somewhere competitive if the rest scratch together some runs.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

This has been world class from Labs so far.

Better than some of his centuries at home against the West Baldies or Plod Africa.

 

[yobbo84]

Superb partnership in these conditions

 

[TheParraboy]

Ball not spinning much for right handers

2/76 lunch

You would imagine over 300 would be a good score on this deck ??
