India vs Australia: 2nd Test

Re: India vs Australia: 2nd Test

This Peter Siddle bowled good, he seems a genuine talent from Australia's first-class setup. Ponting threw him the ball right away in the second over. His bowling action is good also, kind of like Andre Nel.

Congratulations Tendulkar although Lara made the mark in less Tests. :hmmm:

doodh main maingniaan daal ker dai raheey ho :slight_smile:

haha

Re: India vs Australia: 2nd Test

as good as sachin tendulkar is with his aggressive attacking, they showed his record today, from what i saw Rahul Dravid seems a certain bet to overpass this record ST now holds, the dude is only 1100 runs short and has been playing 5 yrs less than ST has. ...impressive.

Re: India vs Australia: 2nd Test

The talk eventually went back to the celebration when he got the record. “The duration [of the fireworks] was bit worrying.” When a journalist informed him they had planned 11,954 crackers, he said, “Eventually I figured out it was 11,954 crackers or something like that.” (CricInfo)

but he is older than sachin and I dont think he is more fit than sachin as well.
Sachin has been in years where Indias fortune solely depended on him.
its a great achievement for a player to complete 19 years of international cricket and achieve so much and still contributing.

Re: India vs Australia: 2nd Test

India is on the top at the end of Day 2. Aussies have already lost 4 wickets for 100 runs, they'll be under pressure. Come on Hussey.

Re: India vs Australia: 2nd Test

Indians looking very damp on the field, half of them are sleeping. Maybe the wicket of Michael Hussey will awake some of them up.

Re: India vs Australia: 2nd Test

Rudy Koertzen at square leg stopped a four. :rotfl:

Actually I think the ball hit him below the knee-roll so he might be LBW. :smiley:

Re: India vs Australia: 2nd Test

Aus 146/6. Sivarama comes alive.

Re: India vs Australia: 2nd Test

Mishra have acquired the status of 'Mendis'...

:D

Re: India vs Australia: 2nd Test

Australia req. 43 more to avoid follow on with 3 wkts remaining ..

WATSON scored 50 :cheer:

Re: India vs Australia: 2nd Test

India seems to have messed up and failed to keep up the pressure. Looks like Aus will be able to save the follow on.

Re: India vs Australia: 2nd Test

the equation to save follow on

30 runs for Aus, 2 wickets for India.

Who will prevail?

Re: India vs Australia: 2nd Test

Finally the breakthrough .......
Harbhajan got Lee's wicket

another 20 needed
i guess aussies will make it ......

Re: India vs Australia: 2nd Test

Watson gone.

Inida need 1 wicket

Aus 9 runs to save follow on.

tense.

Re: India vs Australia: 2nd Test

Aus 269 all out.

Will India enforce the follow on?

nope

i'm sure they'll bat on to atleast post 200+ to stretch the lead to 400+ and ten give thmselve atleast 3-5 session to bowl Aussies out

Given the state of the pitch it shouldn't be a problem for India to bowl out Aussies out below 300
