GABBA 2nd Test: Australia v India Dec 17-21, 2014

[TheParraboy]

India 6/368

Dhoni 22
Ashwin 21

These two are set, 40 run partnership, they will go on and make a century stand, maybe 150, take india to well over 500

 

[JW]

Ole mate Gayshaw has got the flute out Dhoni.

I'd say he's desperately looking for a rebound given Maxipad is about as far away from playing another Test as he is.

 

[Meapro Ham]

A wide in test cricket. Now that's an achievement by the pie thrower

 

[madunit]

Starc this spell
3 overs, 0/27

9 runs per over

f**king hack

Starc's last 30 delivers have gone for 30 runs

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

gee starc looks ordinary...

 

[Bigfella]

Hazlewood's been our best and he was picked on white ball form

He's been earmarked for a number of years on performance across all forms.

Starc has consistently been picked then dropped from test sides because he simply can't produce either tight spells or the genuine wicket taking options in the longer forms of the games.

 

[madunit]

Starc 0/38 off first 9 overs
0/45 off last 8 overs

 

[Hutty1986]

Starc is soft, no passion, no emotion. And an absolutely terrible test bowler.

India are a big chance of conquering the Gabba here

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Biggest myth in Cricket that Indian batsmen can't hande Aus conditions as mentioned earlier in the thread,there batsmen are always world class,there bowlers are the one's that give the team the gluten free ebola.

 

[BunniesMan]

If yesterday morning you said after 101 overs our best bowlers would be the bloke on debut and Shane Watson you'd know it hasn't gone well.

Looking for a total well over 400. It'll be tough to get back into this.

 

[Twizzle]

you guys seem to think Starc can just put the ball where ever he wants to and that its his plan to bowl shit ?

 

[BunniesMan]

Hazlewood has a 1st class average of 26. Starc is at 31. Starc is mediocre at the level below this one. No rational person thinks he deserves a test spot.

 

[Hutty1986]

Better hope that Warner & Smithy can carry us with the bat, yet again....

 

[BunniesMan]

you guys seem to think Starc can just put the ball where ever he wants to and that its his plan to bowl shit ?

Nobody is saying his plan is to bowl shit. We (or at least I) are saying he isn't good enough for this level so he can't do any better than bowl mostly shit.

 

[Twizzle]

Haze again

 

[Twatface Magee]

Beautiful ball.

 

[JW]

f**k yes.

Haze has been outstanding in an otherwise dive of an innings for the bowlers.

 

[BunniesMan]

Hazlewood! See what happens when you pick blokes with good 1st class records. More often than not they're going to be better at test cricket than the blokes who are shit at shield level.

 

[madunit]

Hazelwood on fire.

 

[Meapro Ham]

you guys seem to think Starc can just put the ball where ever he wants to and that its his plan to bowl shit ?

As a test cricketer its a reasonable assumption that he should be able to control where it goes.

Either he can't control it or he can and is still bowling rubbish. Either way he's shit.
