3rd Test: India v Australia at Ranchi on Mar 16-20, 2017

[undertaker]

I hope Australia don't throw away these last 3 wickets cheaply.

 

[Bazal]

He is also a lot better than Clarke.

Clarke started this morning with this pearl about 20 minutes into the days play: "this partnership continues...".
Yesterday he said this just before stumps: "this is really good batting from Smith and Maxwell"
I also swear I heard him say this: "this is a really good partnership between Smith but in particular Maxwell"...haha.
In the first test he said: "India will want a wicket here"....thats one of his favourites. I think he had a variation this morning where he said: "India will really want to get the 5th then 6th wicket here".

Not sure if serious, or just seriously geniused

150 to Smith.

Well played!

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Should be able to noodle another 40 to 50.

 

[Bazal]

Jadeja really getting some to turn now....Smith realises, too, that this pitch will change fast and is looking to attack a bit more it seems.

he's got that annoying westy twang to his voice, as well as recycling certain phrases.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Warner is always enthusiastic when he claps from the balcony.

Probably because he's had so much time to practice

 

[Bazal]

Is Jadeja the worst over-appealer in the world?

That is a deadset ridiculous half shout

 

[Basil Brush]

lol @ Clarke "he can bat".

Evidently not.

In fairness to Clarke, Cummins can bat.

Just a good ball.

Bazz, you always get upset because you know I have more cricket cred than you.

No you are.

 

[TheParraboy]

yeah im finding Hayden batter than Clarke,I don't mind him actually, still quite new I think?

He is also in a different league to the git Warne when It comes to commentary

Steve Smith 153no - hopefully he can get a few more and the tail hang around till tea at least if we can
That should get us close to 500

 

[84 Baby]

Here's hoping for a surprise declaration 9 balls after lunch

the only thing is, I've heard Hayden doing that same background mic "I get jokes"/"I am popular with you guys right?" laugh thing that I thought was brought in specifically by and for Clarke.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

When Haddin or Border said, "Flintoff's gotta get off the ice tea" and Julian replied, "I'm glad you said tea at the end" ...Not even a snigger from those two.

He is also a lot better than Clarke.

Clarke is the Kevin Walters of cricket commentary
Warne is the Andy Raymond of cricket commentary

 

[Eelectrica]

Just hope the rest of the tail can stick around long enough for Smithy to get 200.
450+ on the board, pitch starting to act up perhaps we can at least retain the trophy...

 

[BestHookerFarrah]

Nice ton for Ashwin

 

[Bazal]

Bazz, you always get upset because you know I have more cricket cred than you.

Lol. Stick to your ADCDEFG rule and your dead footy sides competition

Hadds is from Queanbeyan...he was probably furtively looking around for the actual ice.
