Australia in India 2004-05 {2nd test match @ chennai {madras}}

i thought i’d open a new thread for the upcoming 2nd test @ chennai. With dada and his boys hitting the nets under immense pressure to perform with the bat against the best in the business and with master blaster sachin 50-50 for the test with his tennis elbow, i think aussies r odds on to thrash india again given how india performed @ bangalore.

Having said that, it’ll be a new test match , new venue and a fresh set of 22 players looking to out play each other. so COME ON INDIA let’s do it boys properly dis time, i want to see gilly cry.

when does the match start?

Hmmm a non-indian guppy opening this thread, that says it all.

Skhan Bhai,

I thought this was a Forum with borders and boundries

:wave:

Does that change the fact that the guppies most interested in this series are the Indians?

Should be interesting. I hope the Indians are able to get over the psychological barrier or no Tendulkar. Notivce how the Aussie press barely even mentions Pontings absence?
I think that shows a huge difference in teh mentality of the two teams.
I think the Indians honestly have a shot if there spinners can get too the Aussies. They are going to have to make sure they make inroads in the first innings though, otherwise the Aussies will try to run away with it.

I find it quite disturbing when ganguly indias captain a good cptain but some1 who has not played a solid match winning or even any significant knowck that i can remember for a long time now, rediculing his batsmen, he needs to look at himslef in the mirror first!

The ball-boy jumps to no avail as Hayden hits a SIX to get to his 50

Harbhajan strikes twice in one over to get india back in the game.

It is amazing how many balls Parthiv Patel drops regularly. Bari he koi aala kisam kee ghatya keeping ker raha hai aajkul.

Australia 195/4.

2 wickets each to harbhajan and Kumble.

Australia 206/5.

Clarke gone for 5. Taken by Kumble.
