4th Indian win - Delhi - 22-26 March

[Brodlach]

Hughes gone
3/41
Ashwin has all 3

Terrible decision, missing the stumps. Tendulka plumb given not out, Hughes very unlucky again

[dedja]

Yeah Clarke is injured lets keep him over there rather than coming home and getting the best medical advice with a big 10 months of cricket coming

And 5 days is going to make much difference?

I doubt any previous Australian captain would have done the same, but who cares really, this team is a shambles.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Poor Steve Smith his carrying this batting line up, he deserves better than this

Doesn't even deserve to be playing.

Cowan another unlucky lbw.

How so,was averaging over 40 in the shield for the last 3-5 years.

Batted the best out of the fringe batters in the tour match

Has taken his oppurtunities when presented.

His Australia's new number 5!!!!

Get around the blonde don TSG his here to stay for the Ashes

Lucky to be picked for the tour. Got his opportunity because of ridiculous suspensions.

Didn't Ponting leave India in 04 when gilly captained

[locky801]

Maxwell and Warner to open! This could be interesting!

Why open Maxwell, if Cowan is injured surely Watson should open, after all thats the only place he has made any runs

[dedja]

Yep, 4 openers in the side and only 1 of them opens ...

Agree but even u would have to admit he has taking his chance

[Jim05]

Smith has done well, deserves a crack in England.
He is so superior to hacks like Maxwell

[The Sleeping Giant]

Getting a bit sick of all these part timers playing.

[whufc]

Getting a bit sick of all these part timers playing.

Agree!

I wanna see 6 batsmen which include Smith 1 wicket keeper 4 bowlers to suit conditions ideally 1 spinner 3 pacemen

It was to try and be aggressive, look at the pitch, runs are at a premium

Agree, shocking decision.

How about the ridiculous and excessive appealing by the Indians ?
Surely it's time the Umpires, match referee or the gutless ICC took steps to address this issue.
Apart from bad sportsmanship, it's basically cheating.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Cowans was a bad one also.

[dedja]

7 for ... Johnson out first ball

[jackpot jim]

This Australian batting line up is a rabble.
The Australian selectors are a joke.
Invers, Mickey and Co. Please just save yourselves from further embarrassment and F**K OFF !

[jackpot jim]

7 for ... Johnson out first ball

That was after Smith GIFTED his wicket away, not playing a shot, and worse still didn't even get his pad in the way either. Seriously NFI the selectors when come to picking a batting order.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Go sids.

[Jim05]

Unfortunately batting depth is at an all time low in Australia, we are seeing Shield games struggle to get to day 4 so are we really suprised we cant last 4 days at test level.
Simply too many batters in Australia cant bat more than half a session, when someone like Silk and Cosgrove bat all day like in the shield final they are labelled slow and boring. Id give anything for an Aussie batter to make a 300 ball century at the moment

[PPLions]

Great to see Siddle take it up to the bowlers
