Australia v India 2nd Test - Sydney - commencing 3/1/12

[mighty_tiger_79]

$4.35 the draw

get on

[carey]

I still think Australia will get up especially if the indians keep playing the shots Dravid just did!

[mighty_tiger_79]

if the indians stay 1 down and keep scoring regularly will Clarke remain attacking in the field????

[mighty_tiger_79]

Lyon into the attack

[Gingernuts]

Sehwag out to a loose shot but he bowled his fair share of overs this morning.

Reckon a few batters down the order will be itching to get to the crease and bat on this pitch.

Pattinson in particular might be in for a bit of a wake up call here.

[mal]

Pretty keen to see what the Aussie bowlers can do on this pitch. Is it a road or have India just made it look like that with poor bowling??

I reckon the later.
Enough in the pitch to roll them for under 200 again.
One thing for sure we wont be bringing on spinners or dud part timers as early as they did

Wronggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
We will have to bring on spinners and part timers
Hilf, Patto, Sizz are not gunna bowl 100 overs on the trot

After 9 overs, Lyon is bowling
But wont brag until the Indians last 100 overs !

Yeah but they had Ashwin on after 4 overs this morning and Sehwag after 11

[Bum Crack]

Indians will be 6 for by end of play

not on this deck they wont

[Jim05]

Lyon needs to pull out something.
He will get a rest until Adelaide after this test.
The SCG aint the spinners friend of old.

[mighty_tiger_79]

No No you HAAAAAAAAAAAAVE to have a spinner for the variety of ways the ball gets hit to the boundary, plus all this experience he is gaining is invaluable.

Lyon will be a gun TEST bowler just not yet against the Indians, 4 pacemen please not spinner in Aus will trouble these Indians.

Adelaide would have to be a HUUUUGE turner for me to even consider him for selection there as well.

TEA 1/53
GAMBHIR 39*[42] made a brilliant start, no coincidence its a flatter deck, has a ton at his mercy by stumps
DRAVID 7* [22] can he improve on his modest returns against AU the last few series
SHEWHACK 4 [8] great to watch, cant play any other way, but he suffers from Haddinitis

TENDULKAR how we gunna get this guy out , he only gives about one chance and been getting out all series
LAXMAN must be licking his lips seeing the deck now, might even get past double figures , and if he does beware
KHOLI who knows perhaps heez worried about Jackson BIRD

The FBTs at last have a deck thats calm
Blunt the 3 quicks a while longer and as Jimmy and Stevie once sang , 'gunna have a Good Time'
A score of 375 + beckons

[Dogwatcher]

I'm guessing Pup declared because he was fed up with chasing Lara again...

Agree with that one mal, can see a big one from VVS on a pitch like this.

No disrespect to Lyon but the Indian's probably face better spinners than him at net trainings, they are taught how to play spin when they are babies.
Lyon is doing well at test level but he wont trouble the Indians.
Heard that Harris has been pulled out of tomorrows big bash game, sure indication they will play 4 quicks at the WACA.
