Test Series v India

[Steve Ward]

Awesome knock by mr cricket 89. Let's hope we can push for a good lead

 

[Browny]

Awesome knock by hilfy and pattinson.

India 292 to win

 

[Bucking Beads]

New ball is the key, we need early wickets. Pitch still offering plenty for the quicks even with the old ball.

 

[Browny]

Sehwag gone India 1/24 at lunch

 

[Jeba]

I haven't seen this much intensity from our bowlers in a long time. Great stuff.

It takes a Queenslander do get them going. Quality coaching from McDermott. Superb from Pattinson

Dominant effort really. Great bowling

 

[Bucking Beads]

Justin Langer needs to go..

Good Captaincy from Clarke just a shame about that gap between bat and pad.

 

[Big Pete]

A fitting end to what's been a great year for Test cricket. Such a topsy turvey game where both teams had their chances but the Aussies proved too good in the end.

Hilfenhaus certainly made a big difference. Not that it was ever going to be that difficult to replace Starc but Hilfenhaus really turned the clock back on Days 3 and 4. This was Hilfenhaus of 2006-09.

Was a common theme for the Australians and it was good to see the old guard fight hard for their bowlers. I really hope Ponting and Hussey can finish the series with a century and bow out with class.

Still a lot left in this series and I can't wait until the next game.

 

[Browny]

Can't see Johnston wearing the baggy again with the youth brigade stepping up.

It helps that all 3 bowlers kept it tight and built pressure

 

[Jeba]

They worked as a unit too. The only way I can see Johnson getting a run is in Perth if they opt for an all-pace attack.

Pattinson in particular bowled well today I reckon.

Gotta hand it to Clarke too. He's earned a lot of respect from me as a captain. Nearly every bowling change resulted in a wicket today, and he made it clear to his bowlers what he needed from them. I had my doubts about him captaining Australia but there is no doubt in the world that he is the man for the job.

 

[Bucking Beads]

He just needs more runs from him and the rest of the top order.

 

[Browny]

That was an issue before he was captain.

Had to lol at Dhoni's field settings for Hilfy
