Re: India in Australia 2011-12

aus 25 / 0 after 8 overs

4

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

Didn't know India has good bowlers! Yadav is bowling beautifully!

5

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

Yes Umesh Yadav looks a good prospect, both wickets have fallen to him. Let's see what Punter can do now

Australia 55/2

6

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

End of day -1 Australia 277/6 . Ponting making fifty . Evenly balanced

7

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

Thanks for the update - looks like Australia recovered nicely from ~ 55 for 2. I was afraid Ponting may find his form.

8

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

Didnt watched a single ball

Looks like a good day for Both teams

9

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

Hussey suffered from bad umpiring and Haddin benefitted from it :smack:

10

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

Who are the umpires

11

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

Marais Erasmus and Ian Gould

12

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

Not great umpires

13

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

Ian Gould not good IMO. Erasmus is just about ok

14

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

I hate Erasmus

15

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

Very shaky start by India openers - repeatedly got beaten outside off stump. Gambhir falls to terrible shot chasing the ball outside off stump. Sehwag luck to get to 67. Saw highlights of Tendulkar's 73 - brilliant inning. Still india's best batsman. I will take this 73 over any 100 - very timely knock - gave India temporary advantage. Wall Dravid was bowled off a no-ball. India ~ 214 for 3 - Tendulkar out with 3 balls to go.

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

Aussies 333

India 214/3 :hbk:

Dravid :hbk:

India must take lead of 250+ :hbk:

Missing Harbajan who was filntoff for Aussies :sunnyboy:

18

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

Ashwin and Yadav not too bad.

19

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

Sachin looked in sublime form today. unfortunate that he departed with just 3 balls to go. The ball Siddle bowled him with was an absolute ripper though .... would have taken out most batsmen
India should look to take a 1st innings lead of 100 odd

Re: India in Australia 2011-12

^^ true that !! that siddle can produce some amazing deliveries sometimes..
