India v Australia 1st Test

[Jim05]

Once again hanging onto players for too long when out of form. We will lose the Ashes with Hussey and North in the side, this tour was the perfect time too blood some young batsman.

Your dead right. Hughes to open with katich. Watto to 5, huss and north out and bring in fergie or marsh. Should also be playing smith think he will worry the poms and india good place to learn

[wristwatcher]

North.

Surely gone now.


But for who?

Smith for now but for Fergy during the Ashes with Smith to relieve Haury of his spinning duties. (can you call Haury a spinner)

[Media Park]

A batting allrounder, Mr Hauritz.

[Media Park]

All out 192.

Three wickets Sharma and Khan (250 test wickets).

Ohja and Bhakki 2 wickets each.

216 to win for India.

IF SEHWAG LASTS TILL STUMPS THIS GAME COULD WELL BE AS GOOD AS OVER

[Pottsy]

First I'd seen of the Clarke dismissal. Soft as butter, took his eyes off the ball and left his gloves up with Sharma bowling. And that was after whacking a catch straight to midwicket off a first ball no-ball.

Not good from the future captain.

Very slim chance from here.

[Pottsy]

What a start! Didn't look too out....ooh that's a big nick.

1-all for terrible LB decisions.

1/0, Ghambir out to Hilf.

[Media Park]

Bloody terrible decision from Billy.

Sort of things that ended Rudi and Bucknor's careers.

[Dirko]

Poor call...they're lighting the effigy as we speak.....

[Pottsy]

Bolly first over to Sehwag - deep fine leg, deep backward square, third man and deep point. Second over of a Test .

Good on Punter for trying something.

[Media Park]

Im going to suggest the Bookies go head to head most runs per innings for the rest of the tour
North v Bollinger

My money is on Bolly.

Mal!!!

Did you actually put money on this?

After they both batted in the first Test,
Bollinger 25 runs
North 10 runs.

[Pottsy]

Bolly! Knocks over Dravid caught behind with a nice little off cutter.

2/31

[Media Park]

2/35 Bollinger got Dravid ct behind.

chasing one of Tendulkars first balls to teh boundary, Katich ripped part of the boundary hoarding apart.

[Media Park]

3-48 Sehwag ct off Hilfy.

[Pottsy]

Hussey the only fielder near the bat, in the gully. Sehwag opens the blade to a short one and steers it straight to him.

Good to see pressure doesn't just get to us!

[Media Park]

4-48

Raina ct North bwd Hilf 0

[NFC]

Hilfy producing some kind of spell here!

[Pottsy]

Amazing Test.

Tendukar still out there, watching and waiting...

[Media Park]

Quicks have been moving the ball like there is no tomorrow.

They just made the change to bring Horrie on, but I'd rather see Watto TBH.

[Pottsy]

What a day. Geez I love Test match cricket.

Still plenty of work to do.
