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

[JW]

Drinks all round 3 mins before stumps.

smh.

 

[vvvrulz]

First time he has been dismissed all series and Beaker gives him a send off. Classless Gimp.

Just caught the news and saw this, bloody hell Ishant pisses me off.

You'd think a bowler as useless as him who has been tonked around all day would learn to eat some humble pie. Doesn't deserve a test career.

 

[JJ]

This test is full of a twats that don't deserve a test career - Ishant, Watson and Shaun Marsh are quite a threesome...

Seriously, what great tests though - just brilliant, very evenly matched for the most part, it will too and fro a bit I imagine - India might actually win a test if they actually get to the point where they realise Australia are not terribly good - that bowling effort to Johnson and Smith was club level stuff, appalling...

Biggest question, I ask again, who the f**k is Brayshaw, and what the f**k is he doing in the commentary box - Warne and Healy too, FFS, who makes decisions on the f**kwits they put in commentary these days over there

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Carl Hooper,Brian Lara,Shoaib Akhtar and Waqar Younis all said he was the fastest bowler they have ever seen

Brian Lara's word > AlwaysRickyStuart

Where is this? And how long for, one spell? I remember the spell to lara and probably Hooper in the same game, it was in Brisbane and he was quick but there is no evidence that he was faster than Lee or Shoab who both nudged 158s.

How can he be faster than Shoab if Shoab then says he became faster than Zahid?

The internet is full of a lot of misleading bullshit. You seem pretty clued in on Wazn and ex parramatta players, cricket might not be your strong point.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

And like I said first day of the test - Australia on top

But India with the best of the batting conditions on day 3.

I think Cricket isn't your strong point considering you answered Dean Jones to a question where the answer was Ryan Harris

Find it hard to argue....Brayshaw like VFL is an embarrassment to our country.

When Healy talks keeper movement I listen and does speak league....

Warne great bowler, goes for St. Kilda and mirrors....

Ishant is weird, Marsh certainly looks out of place.

Watson thinks he is Bradman, when clearly he simply should have persisted @6 and learnt to play with the tail.

That was a guess. I play that game without relying on google. And not a bad guess. He only played under 2 captains and batted positions 3 - 8.

Try again Dion Nash

Read the question again and than type all of the clues into Google,won't help you at all,you will be there for days and days trying to get the answer out of Google.

No thanks Dilip Doshi.

 

[Twizzle]

fair bit cooler here today

 

[JJ]

fair bit cooler here today

I know it's been very hot, but I am not understanding why it was such a problem for the Aussies - it is usually hot there, and they play in many other hot places...

The events of day 1 were a bit weird imo

 

[Twizzle]

the weather has been extreme and so was the humidity, its not normally this hot

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I have a feeling that their usual post game recoveries may have gone by the wayside after Adelaide.

Perfect batting conditions you'd think today. India could put themselves into a handy position today.

 

[Twizzle]

It will be much easier on our bowlers today should be around 30 degrees so less cramps and crap that we went through on day 1.

No excuses today.

Like Twiz said not the norm, especially in nov-dec.

In jan-feb we are usually into t20 and ODI mode when some really hot days come about.

When it comes to the Marsh clan, they just break down regardless of weather or fitness.

 

[Hutty1986]

Need a big morning session with the ball. Wouldnt back our batsmen to chase any more than 200.

 

[Eddie Rattlehead]

Hopefully we can get some swing going early on.

I'm not sure why. There old man was tough, a farmer, I think had back issues which he played through. Maybe Mrs Marsh is made of chalk. Her boys are Big Weak Men.

It's called schrwing.
