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

[chigurh]

If we get rolled this morning we probaly hand India the best batting conditions of the match. C'mon Smith

 

[vvvrulz]

Lol Ashwin reckons the game is in their favour 70:30

I don't mind players making big calls, its better than the usual cliched crap of "anyones game", "focusing only on ourselves", "put the ball in the right areas".

 

[Twizzle]

they were 4 for 300 so at this stage they are better off but we need to dig in a bit, need Hads to perform today

 

[madunit]

From March 1, 2014 til today, Smith averages 114.60
9 innings (4 Not out) 573 runs, 5 x 50's, 1 x 100's

Not LOL, but they are in a slightly better position at the moment. Pretty evenly matched teams tbh

Their bowling looks pretty mediocre, and Warner/Smith aside yours is pretty horrid...

Must say, I was wrong about Smith, his technique has tightened up, and he's certainly quality...

 

[Twatface Magee]

Another 100 coming today for Smiffy.
I can feel it.

I would say India are in front, purely because they have the runs on the board. But definitely not in the vacinity of 70:30 in their favour.

yeah, I'd say 55:45, 60:40... next couple of hours will be telling - could go either way, and I expect that for each test.

Question really is, do India believe they can win in Australia - because this Australian team is very beatable... home advantage is huge, but even bigger in India/Aust series as whichever team is touring really seldom can get over the line

 

[Twatface Magee]

If Australia can get to Lunch without loss this morning, or even just losing 1 wicket we will be in front.

 

[El Diablo]

good leave

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Mitch Flintoff :lol:

 

[Pete Cash]

Omg

 

[8Ball]

When the pitch is that flat...you really don't need to leave anything that straight. Poor batting..

Sharma getting some reverse swing going though.

 

[Hutty1986]

Another Marsh failure. We're f**ked here.

 

[Haffa]

Not sure what happened there.

Need a big Innings from Haddo.

 

[jargan83]

Darsh junior you spastic.

Need Hads to dig in.

 

[Hutty1986]

Haddin's had one good series in about 4 years and he's in dreadful form. Talk about pressure.

 

[8Ball]

Hopefully Haddin finds some form here.

 

[Meth]

Great ball, but a terrible leave

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Thats what happens when you pick an All-rounder to bat at 6
