4th Test: Australia v India at Adelaide Jan 24-28, 2012

[El Diablo]

Cowan fails again

 

[undertaker]

From the moment he swung his bat behind him and completely left that wide one that Khan bowled him (which should've been smashed the boundary), I knew he was in deep trouble. Even during their form slumps, Taylor/Haydos/Punter/Hussey didn't do that. It was almost as if Marsh was scared of the ball and tried to move as far away from it as possible

Cowan is plumb, top order fails again. Langer and Gildey Tard will go into hiding.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

mini collapse happening here.. can we get at least 500 ahead before India bat again?

 

[Leagueaddict]

WHAT THE F***...the Indians have finally found the ideal road :?

 

[Meth]

Top 3 fails again.

 

[undertaker]

Cowan fails again

At least he can hold his head up high and claim 2 50s in the series, rather than getting a WHOPPING 2.83 average!!!

If India weren't 400 behind this could be interesting b

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Top 3 fails again.

Very Kane Williamson of them eh

 

[undertaker]

Will Ponting and Clarke have to bail us out again? This time, Australia are very lucky that they've got a huge 1st innings lead to work with, otherwise it could've been deja vu of the 2003 Adelaide test all over again.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Lol@Tubby..

"Darsh was unlucky there"..

They would've got him next ball anyway..

 

[Matt23]

....and watch them rush Watson back to the top of the order, He'd be an improvement on Marsh, but I wouldn't be batting him at 3.

 

[undertaker]

Exactly what I was thinking. I'd be getting instant flashbacks to the 2003 test.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Even if we collapse it's all about giving the bowlers a rest any way

 

[Meth]

Very Kane Williamson of them eh

I'm not sure if that's supposed to bother me. But ok- sure. Although he was run out today by his partner.

 

[undertaker]

....and watch them rush Watson back to the top of the order, He'd be an improvement on Marsh, but I wouldn't be batting him at 3.

Agreed. 5 or 6 is where I'd bat Watson. Warner/Cowan/Clarke/Ponting/Watson/Hussey is the top 6 I'd go with, with Khawaja asFIRST replacement if one of those 6 were injured.

 

[BunniesMan]

That this top 3 can't score against this rubbish attack on this flat pitch is an embarassment.

Hughes and Khawaja would have cashed in. They were sacked after not scoring on the toughest pitches of the summer against a better attack than this Indian attack.

Warner has earnt some time, but Cowan and Marsh have not.

Hughes has just scored a 100 in grade cricket, if he and Khawaja score runs when Shield comes back they should be in the XI in the next series.

 

[undertaker]

Two careers have ended in the last 24 hours. Hodge and Marsh. I know which one I prefer.

Huh? What does Hodge have anything to do with this? Hodge retired from first-class cricket ages ago after he realised the selectors had blacklisted him for reasons unknown to him

Geez, well rush him right back in then.

Seriously BunniesMan, you're fighting a losing battle with this one.

Once again the top order fails. Needs to be some Punting on the Pups
