Aussies in India

[globaleagle]

That lbw review rule is amazingly bad. The one where..what is it...the ball has to be more than 50% hitting the wicket is total crap.

Ok, don't make it 1 mm, but that last one was well over a third hitting. 49% says the anti aussie commentators on espncric info.

****ing out

 

[globaleagle]

finally!

Aust need 188 to win.

 

[Chip and Chase]

188 will be an interesting chase, all three completed innings so far this test have exceeded that so pretty confident we'll get there. 0/20 so far is a good start. A quick fire 50 from Warner would be just what the doctor ordered, then Renshaw and Smith can settle in and grind it out.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Out!

 

[globaleagle]

What an atmosphere!

This pitch seems to be more cracks than pitch.

will be tough for Aust!

 

[globaleagle]

Pitching outside off...given.....reviewed, still given out.

fmd

2-44

c'mon!

2-65 at drinks.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Warner was stiffed. How did that not hit him outside the line - umpires call my ar$e.

Shaun Marsh shoulders arms and fails again. Not sure it came back enough to be out. -- just showed ball tracking and its missing FMD

 

[globaleagle]

Now smith has gone. the drs momentum has shifted to India for sure!

As soon as I came back in...smith fell. (boo)

 

[Chip and Chase]

Cometh the man cometh the hour. Mitch Marsh to the rescue. Hi ho Silver !!!!

 

[globaleagle]

lol

 

[Chip and Chase]

Neville will save us......oh hang on I forgot

 

[globaleagle]

'unlucky' 87 to win....a wicket falls.

5-101

oops

 

[globaleagle]

fmd. I bet aust regret not slowing the second last over down so there wasn't 1 to go.

wicket maiden.

bedtime!

****!

 

[Clint]

We need a AB - Jeff Thomson type partnership...... please

 

[Chip and Chase]

All over. Shows how important the toss is over there. Warners wicket was a big one, I still don't know how they thought that hit him in line.

Can we get rid of Mitch Marsh now and bring in Usman. Bowler fatigue is hardly going to be an issue for 3 day tests, so no need for a 3rd seamer, especially one that can't bat.

Usman can't play spin

 

[Chip and Chase]

Let's find out how true that is. He can't be any worse than Mitch.

 

[globaleagle]

sigh.

No No No No No!

And I went to bed when we were 101.

But it looked grim on that pitch. Needed the top 4 to get the runs.

Damn.

Winning a match in India is very hard, a series...almost impossible.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Well the Mitch Marsh dilemma has been solved. He is on a plane back to Oz due to a shoulder injury. They have to pick Khawaja now, no point in going for Maxwell or Agar.

Knowing our luck they'll fly in another mediocre all rounder to fill his spot.

 

[Chip and Chase]

So Stoinis is flying over to replace Marsh in the squad. Another mediocre unproven allrounder.

Apart from a brief period when Watto was firing in both disciplines, who was the last decent all rounder we had ?? You'd almost have to go back to Steve Waugh in his early days when he still bowled to find our last genuine allrounder. Yet they persist in picking one every bloody test.
