A massive day for Ed Cowan coming up in his quest to be dismissed in the 30's once again #INDvAUS

Watson. Won't bowl, can't bat #INDvAUS

Richie Benaud‏@RichieBenaud_
Thanks for the RT Justin (@justinbieber). Next time you are in town, I'll give you those leg spin tips. #indvaus

8 or 9 quick wickets to Australia in the first hour this morning could reduce India's grasp on this match #IndvAus

Richie Benaud‏@RichieBenaud_
Moises (@Mozzie21) has it swinging both ways, much like Stuart Broad's personal life #INDvAUS

Richie Benaud‏@RichieBenaud_
Siddle obviously didn't appeal due to the shock of seeing Wade hold onto one #indvaus

Richie, bow down!

:lol: Quality.

:lol: Anderson

McCullum going off this morning, but to be fair, Bruce Martin's played a couple of ripper shots too - a great pull and a fantastic cover drive on the up. There's a chick in the crowd too who dead set looks like granny from the Beverely Hill Billies.

Good catch Anderson, critical to get rid of McCullum.

In terms of the England squad, Nick Compton is an imposter playing in the team

He should be seen as the weak link for the team for the coming Ashes series

Nick Compton 102*

I wish the aussies had an imposter like that in their top order!

 

[African Monkey]

He plays similar to Trott. Very organised at the crease.

Been around for a while and had a massive county season last year did Compton. Obviously Granddad Compton was a pretty fair player too.

 

[IanG]

Can he play soccer too?

 

[Iafeta]

Granddad was a hell of a footballer too wasn't he.

Fake Richie Benaud account alert - going nuts trying to give Richie's new dog a name.

Some personal faves:

Richie Benaud‏@RichieBenaud_
Slats (@mjslats), just because it sniffs young dogs bums doesn't make it appropriate to call it Steve Randell #NameRichiesDog

@RichieBenaud_ if it can't run, call it Arjuna #NameRichiesDog

Adam F‏@Adam_CF
@RichieBenaud_ If it costs you a bloody fortune, but all it does is eat, shit and sleep then call it Maxwell #NameRichiesDog

And a sledge or two for Watto

Richie Benaud‏@RichieBenaud_
We forgot to mention Rutherford's marvellous century for #NZvENG in his first ever Test innings. Now only one century behind Watson

Richie Benaud‏@RichieBenaud_
RT @PablaAmrit: @RichieBenaud_ That awkward moment when you realise that Mohammad Ashraful has more Test centuries then Shane Watson //Who?

Firstly, the fake Richie Benaud tweets are absolute comedy gold. The stuff on Watson is brilliant.

Secondly, didn't this thread go quiet during England's 2nd innings! Not too many Aussies mouthing off lol
