2nd Test: India v Australia at Bangalore on Mar 4-8, 2017

[vvvrulz]

Watson was a very good ODI player, but only average in tests. Nevertheless, he was kept in the team for way too long and should've never been anywhere near the 2015 Ashes squad. It's still a joke he ended up playing more tests than players like Dean Jones. Also, I believe Greg Matthews has a better batting average than Watto as well.

Yeah.

But he's still better than MMarsh

 

[Bazal]

Marsh and Wade is easily the worst 6 and 7 in world cricket. I would take their Zimbabwean counterparts quite comfortably over those two

 

[undertaker]

tea break. Looks like the devil's number curse of 87 has struck again.

Australia need 87 more runs with 4 wickets in hand.

Can we still do it guys??????

Wade you useless Plank, more byes than runs for the spastic.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

This is what we expected to happen. If levers doesn't get dropped I'm changing my name to AlwaysGanges and supporting India.

The merkin is a disgrace.

 

[Sphagnum]

This last session is the best for batting. Handsome Pete got dis

 

[8Ball]

lol MMarsh.

 

[Red Bear]

I almost feel for MMarsh. He was dropped and did utterly nothing to get selected again. Sitting duck who hasnt had a chance to work on his game. Needs a season in the shield at least.

Wade can get f**ked.

 

[hineyrulz]

I wonder if they can blame Starc again for this???

 

[Sphagnum]

All over.

Anyone else get the feeling that we are going to get blown away in the next two tests?

Yes. Nathan Lyon has a blister on his spin finger. Unless swepson is the 2nd coming of Stuart macgill, we're f**ked if we don't win this

 

[Red Bear]

Warner and Marsh both played terrible shots, but both a little unlucky. Marsh wasnt close really, whilst Warner im not sure that hit him in line.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Mark Waugh is useless as a commentator. He's selecting these planks like Mmarsh so how can he criticise them.

Apparently levers dismissal was bad luck.

MMarsh being born was bad luck.

pitched and hit outside the line which is hard to understand why the third umpire gave him out, that cant be given out yet they go with umpires call

Why is where it pitched relevant? It was outside off not leg

No stress-Nath doesn't turn the ball anyway so all good.

cant be given out under those circumstances, it was too wide, never gonna hit

Nepotism is a cancer in cricket more than any other sport. You see it in C Grade in bush cricket leagues all the way through to city grade cricket.

The Mitchell Marsh debacle underscores this problem even more because it reaches the highest level of the game.

 

[Tommy Smith]

cant be given out under those circumstances

It can't be given out if it hits the pad outside the line; but it doesn't matter if it pitches outside of off.
