Haurie to the rescue

What a suprise, North played one innings of subtance to save his hide. a 200 run lead might be enough on a wearing pitch.

 

[Matt23]

In North's defence, that ball was pretty much unplayable

 

[TheParraboy]

Marcus will bowl us to victory tomorrow

 

[Ridders]

I think Mitch will shine with the bat tomorrow.

I think we'll end up having a 250 + lead

it was only unplayable if you've got no footwork, he was anchored to the crease

the pitch is taking alot of spin but unfortunately for us we only have Hauri

The Indian's don't respect Hauritz at all (actually, not sure that any international batting lineups do - even Craig Cumming tore into him like he was a net bowler)... but that's your chance, they treat him with the contempt he deserves and you snaffle a few half chances...

Never write Aust off, but if your tail doesn't wag, I don't see Sehweg, Dravid, Tendulkar and Dhoni letting this get away

 

[Twizzle]

Notch and Hauri digging in here

 

[Twizzle]

Hauri head buts a boundary :lol:

 

[Deacon]

Well left Johnson

 

[TheParraboy]

200 runs lead

Aust 7/217

Haurie and Notch doing a marvelous job, keep at it lads, another 40-50 runs

 

[HevyDevy]

Haurie may not be the greatest but his captain doesn't do him any favours.

Barely bowled him in the second innings of the first Test when he was the obvious man to go to, overbowled him in the first innings of this one on an absolute road and will probably underbowl him again today.

 

[HevyDevy]

Also, why the f**k are the Aussies not attacking more?

 

[Twizzle]

Indians bowling reverse swing very well, shame Notch cant get the ball seam up. Hilfy goes OK at reverse swing. I dont see George getting much swing, more of a hit the deck type bowler.

Interesting comment from the commentators, 198 is the biggest second innings chase to win a game on this ground and we have a 200 run lead.

Yet we have captain negative so it will prolly be an even contest.

 

[Deacon]

Im backing in George first baller haha

 

[Twizzle]

well left

 

[Deacon]

Wow varnish much!

 

[HevyDevy]

Not taking the singles? Just take the f**king runs!

 

[Deacon]

yep stupid, India will win this test easily

 

[TheParraboy]

9/219 what the hell????

hopefully haurie can hit a few boundaries and we get near 250 lead
