India vs Australia-2nd Test

[catchisthecry]

This hundred is good news for the Poms, will save him for first 3 tests

[Brodlach]

Two quick wickets that brings Peter George to the crease in his test debut.....hope he gets off the mark

9/459

[Brodlach]

Gets off the mark with a stylish slog sweep for 2

[Brodlach]

All out 478.

George the last man out for 2

[Gozu]

I hate Marcus North.

That is all.

Everytime he looks like he's about to get dropped he pulls out a ton. This knock has probably booked him most of if not all of the Ashes series.

Alice Cooper took the new ball in the first test
Injured
Now we have Little Richard opening the bowling

GOLD !

[Ron Burgundy]

Gets off the mark with a stylish slog sweep for 2

Or a drive over mid off.

Johnston's first ball pus.

Ponting has a weird science when it comes to setting a field, doesn't he?

Ponting has certainly come in for some criticism over the years with field placings, but in his defence, I'd hate to set a field to Johnson.
The lad has no idea where he's bowling the ball.

How was Midge's first ball? He seriously doesn't know where he's bowling it.

[Dogwatcher]

George to bowl

[Dogwatcher]

What sort of advice to do you reckon Mitch could offer George at the top of his mark?

[Pidge]

YES! North ton!
I get to read a few more tests of you all whinging about how he should be dropped

On a more serious note, Clarke isn't in the best of form at the moment and Mitchell Johnson is very hit or miss. But it's the Aussie team, so they won't get dropped.

[RoosterMarty]

You beauty! Sehwag gone, should stick to twenty 20 mate!

[Dogwatcher]

Hilfy gets Sehwag slogging.
What a manic opening!

37/1 - Sehwag 30

[smithy]

Disgraceful decision to replace George after 1 over.
The lad would've been super nervous, and will have to go through all this again in his 2nd spell.
LET HIM SETTLE FFS.
With Sehwag gone it would've been much easier for him to bowl.

[RoosterMarty]

I agree, hopefully they are just bringing George on from the other end but doubt that will happen as Hilfy just got a wicket.

Now MJ gets a wicket, good captaining Ponting.

[smithy]

And that's why I don't captain the Australian cricket team.

Still disagree with the move though.

I reakon George shook Sehwag up a bit when he hit him in the hip region after getting carted for two fours. Credit to George!

Edit: That was quite a classy shot of George to get his two - a nice controlled lofted off drive.
