2.2
Ashwin to Cowan, no run, Dharmasena says not out. India don't believe it. This one doesn't turn. Pitches off, goes straight on, hits the back pad. The only thing that could have saved Cowan here is bounce, but I don't think it was bouncing that high. The umpires might be getting quite a few of these lbw calls wrong, but I tell you what, they have been alert with one thing: when Ashwin came out to bat, they counted the number of logos on his pad straps, and reported him duly for breaching the ICC code of conduct, and fined him 10 per cent of the match fee. Go figure. Would DRS have made this part of their job easier

Just seen the reply on the news WOW!

But the couple the Aussies didn't get were definitely not out hey.

We should have played Doherty, look what having a left/ Right spin option in tandem is doing

yeah but their spin bowlers have some sort of quality

No i didnt say that. Infact i'm surprised they gave Warner out when the over before Clarke was plum and not given.

For what its worth i thought there was enough doubt to not give Warners LBW.

They ain't going to fly someone over. Take your pick from the class batsmen that are left on tour.

No different to watson opening

[carey]

45 overs bowled seemers have bowled 0.

Maybe Australia thought Lyon could bowl from both ends.....

Umm have you seen the scorecard?
Watson - 17
Warner - 23
Hughes - 0

Not exactly the easiest deck for Aussie batsmen!

1st innings - scored more than 8 other aussies, i'd say he is battling well in the conditions!

[carey]

Wade....

Terrible

[Phantom Gossiper]

How pathetic is this pitch though? Fricking dustbowl! Do they have curators in India?? Any danger of seeing some colour in the pitch?

I say we juice the **** out of our decks when the Indians come to Oz next.. oh wait then we will have to listen to months of sooking from the BCCI about doctoring pitches

[Phantom Gossiper]

Maybe Australia thought Lyon could bowl from both ends.....

Struggles to bowl from one end! Pathetic bowling display.. embarrassing!!

[The Sleeping Giant]

He is currently top scorer this innings,

Squids

Hack poster.

[whufc]

Cowan=least of our worries at the moment!!!!

[Johno6]

That pitch is an embarrassment to test cricket.
