2nd test vs India Hyderabad 2nd of march

[Rik E Boy]

Warner got bowled by playing all round a straight ball

test hack

As is Warner and Hughes. All three merely warming the seat until we get a real top order.

We will do a lot better against the Poms.

[locky801]

Maxwell to the rescue, has to be in the side for some reason

[The Sleeping Giant]

Yep. To make us all look like idiots.

I don't think there was a bigger critic of Clarke for years. I still don't like him, but have to say, he is in no doubt deserving of the captain title in this team.

Still want to hear why Lyon was dropped.

4/187 at tea

TEA

AUS 4/187

Great session by aus, both guys batted really well.

Wade proving the value of the keeper batsmen!!! and booking himself an Ashes ticket.

Was his spot in doubt?

Gutsy fight back by the Aussies. Missed this mornings session, but more massive question marks over the top 4. Hughes has the ability to score big hundreds, Warner has match winning ability, but both need a decent score soon. Cowan and Watson skating on very thin ice. Watson does not deserve the mantle of Vice Captain.

Very interested to see how Doherty and Maxwell go. Lyon unlucky - although could've and should've hit more spots in the first test than he did. Still, to drop your main spinner of over 12 months after 1 Test in India is a bad decision IMO. Doherty and Lyon together should have been the go.

Apparently not dropped, rested due to fatigue.

Cowan wasn't out, so does he get another chance?

[The Sleeping Giant]

Wade out.

[The Sleeping Giant]

All the chicks in the crowd in india look chubby.

[whufc]

Wade out

5/208

Really good innings but a pity he didn't go on with it

The 2nd innings.

Averaging 30 isn't cutting it. Have liked the way he goes about it, but his lack of class at Test level is showing. Can't just keep the same top 4 if they continue to fail.

[The Sleeping Giant]

See your point, but Hughes, Warner and Watson are crap also. Cowan seems to be a bit of a scape goat, but at least he bats like an international/first class batsman.

[Aerie]

I thought there was no DRS? Why did they go to 3rd umpire? Assumed the umpire had already decided he hit it and were just checking if it carried. Anyway, right decision made in the end.
