1st test- Australia Vs India

[GWW]

Australia has not lost a test series at home since 92/93 (Should have won that too,f*****g D.Hair),will not come to an end any time soon.......

McDermott admitted he hit it didn't he??

I have a 1993 dulux paints sports hi lights tape and I can promise you billie missed it with clear day light, it clipped his grill.lol I was only 9 when it happened and I still see red over it.

Australians rate Laxman highly because of his record against Australia. His averages against Australia are:

Overall: 50.83
In AUS: 55.92
In IND: 46.37

compared to IVA Richards

Overall: 44.43
In AUS: 47.56
In WI: 36.14

The way people go on about Richards, you would think he was Laxman!

Anyway, whether Laxman is overrated or not is a moot point, simply because he has a magnificent recrod against Australia, and even better in Australia. Coincidently this it the team and venue for the test match we are talking about, and so he demands to be picked, and I think he's best at number 3 in this team in this country, as backed up by the numbers.

Another 4 day Test coming up.
GEEEEEEZZZZ Test cricket is Boring. Is there any team in the world that can challenge Aust over 5 Days ?????
I Think NOT.
Even the world 11 got thrashed the other year.
Lets turn Test Cricket into a Handicap Event to make it Interesting.
All Teams get a 150 Run Start would at least keep the game interesting for 2 days maybe.

Crap, yesterday was a great day today was so absorbing great to watch good bowling turn teh screws....

Fair call Tassie, I actually Think Test cricket is the Best form of the Game, its just that i wish some country could actually Challenge Australia to Add some more Interest to it Like England did in 2005.
It gets a Bit (in fact a LOT) monotonous watching Australia Win so easily all the time.

Take care JJ
AU only has 2 established test bowlers CLARK/LEE in test cricket
When LEE tires this attack could be cannon fodder
In Australia we may still be invincible
On overseas tours we might struggle to bowl teams out.
JOHNSON/HOGG/TAIT are still to prove themselves at International level

I never get bored of AU winning
I can recall the 80s when NZ creamed us in a series + WI slaughtered us at home all the time
Enjoy the dominance as it inevitably must end
It did with the Roman Empire.

Take care with the Indians
When they become acclimatised and find a nice flat placid pitch they will improve
sharply with thier batting as they thrive on low bouncing decks.

SCG next innings 532
NostraMALdamus predicted the Indians would thrive on a flat deck

Now for my next comment
Next game on the high bouncing WACA pitch these same SCG superstars will
go back to being the imposters they have regularly been [except Sachin]
They will struggle to get to 250 in Perth
