Australian tour of India

[Fozz]

Thought Kreja was playing?

Wow. At 2/27, you thought hey, Australia is in with a good shot here. Then suddenly it's 2/157, and then 3/296 at stumps. Game over IMO.

 

[Steve]

Yep. This test match can only be won by India now. We should focus on drawing and go for the jugular int he last game to try and draw the series. Either way it confirms the toss is so important in India.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Playing Cameron White was stupid IMO. We have 3 good fast bowlers but we lack a spinner who can tie and end down and really run through a batting line up. The best we can do now is get a draw but a win is possible if miracles happen.

Cricinfo quote of the day:

Australia should look to bowl on the stumps. Clark did that well yesterday. Johnson got wickets because he made Tendulkar and Dravid play. Watson bowled far too many deliveries which Gambhir and Laxman could leave. Lee has been hot and cold. White, he's ... well, lets not say much about White.

I told beads6 we'd lose this series...he assured me we won't lose against SA and Kiwis later in the summer as well.

It's quite simple IMO;

White Lips sink ships! Bing back Andy!!!!! and Warnie

 

[Bucking Beads]

Symo wouldn't help us so why send him over to India!! I would love to see Warney back but Punter won't have it.. If we at least played a spinner we might have got a few extra wickets. We won;t lose to the Kiwis or SA but this series is gone, I thought we would at least draw it.

Tendulkar is a bad sport: Gilly

Dhoni is an asshole, who the hell declares when one of his batsmen is on 199 not out?

 

[Coxy]

anal kumble actually :-)

He declared when Laxman was on 200

lol you mean 200? [icon_lol1.

 

[Coxy]

ROFL @ Australian cricket at the moment. They'd be flat out bowling out an under 10 side. In fact, they wouldn't even be able to bowl out Queensland's sheffield shield team!

 

[gUt]

It should be remembered that we've ALWAYS struggled to beat India in India. I think Steve Waugh called it the last frontier. The guys are doing their best but we AUssie fans are a bit spoiled for success.

We'll just have to take our frustrations out on the Kiwis and Saffas :)

 

[Coxy]

Yes, but they're not even competitive. At least on most previous tours (excluding the 2004 success where they finally cracked it), Australia picked off a test and looked a chance in the others.

Being able to bowl India out only twice in five innings is appalling.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

At the very least our batting has been equally as terrible in my opinion. Infact i'd say there appears to be far, far less effort, commitment and composure in our batting than our bowling at the moment. And on paper its clearly our strongest and most experienced area. The collapse in the second innings of the last Test was easily the worst, most frustrating and "un-Australian" (*cringe*) hour or so of Cricket i've seen from any Aussie side.

They're off to a good start in the current innings, so hopefully they can turn it around. Farking long way to go though.

 

[Bannermania]

...I think Ponting is losing the support of his players just as quickly as India are scoring runs. God speed.

 

[robbie mustoe]

We shouldn't let the pack of oxygen thieves that call themselves our bowlers back in the country.
