Ind-Aus test series

[amits]

deeps, aus 302/7. only katich and gillespie r batting. aus will be all out for less than 350.

and look deeps, even if tendulkar and dravid r out cheaply, we still have sehwag and laxman. these 2 alone can destroy aus.

 

[amits]

aus 313/8. even katich out they wont get 330 even. i had said that only rain can save aus and this prediction is coming true.

deeps, if more guys think like u, then aus will soon indian origin players in their team.

 

[iamdavid]

iamdavid, aus r 275/5. india have come right back into the match taking 3 quick wickets.

now what u have to say

Anything you an do we an do better , we can do anything better than you! :P :P
(including taking advantage of very green , seamer friendly conditions)

You have been clearly warned to leave this issue alone , you would be best served to abide by that warning.

 

[Gaijin-san]

Exactly right, David. Amits, all this is doing is ensuring India won't get the complete arse-raping that was forecast. Australia were set up so well by the top order that the collapse that ensued did nothing to alter the fact that Australia have made a good score.

I don't know how you're tracking the game, Amits, but batting conditions there were hell before the rain. Don't start throwing stones before your side has even batted.

u call a score slightly above 300 a good score :O

teams, who have hit slightly above 300 in their 1st innings have lost badly.

aus hit 391 in the chennai test in 2001, lost
aus hit 445 in the kolkata test in 2001, lost
sa hit 400+ v eng this year in some test, lost
bd hit 361 v pak this year, lost
zim hit 422 v ind in 2000, lost
wi hit 391 v sl in 2001, lost

iamdavid, what type of a world u live in.

scores over 300 in the 1st innings of a test match mean NOTHING. u have to hit atleast 400 to take the advantage.

 

[Gaijin-san]

Of course, Amits. All pitches are the same, and all conditions are the same, and India don't suck overseas. Of course.

Try to keep it to the official thread, please.

All those scores were made in near perfect batting conditions , these are very difficult conditions , you are clearly just checking the scorecard rather than actually watching the game.

This is a greentop , the overcast conditions are very helpful to seam & swing bowling , I'd call 220 a par score on this surface , 323 is very competitive , Australia definately on top ATM.

complete arse-raping

I'm sure there is a better way of putting that Mr Ged. :rolleyes:

 

[Gaijin-san]

Sorry, just a bit of an Australianism. :P

 

[iamdavid]

Sorry, just a bit of an Australianism. :P

Really , c'mon Ged , Im sure we can come up with just a little better than that

 

[Gaijin-san]

Fair enough, let's hear yours

Butt kicking?

 

[marc71178]

teams, who have hit slightly above 300 in their 1st innings have lost badly.

And have also won handsomely - take a look at the other Test going on at the moment...

SL "only" made 331 in their first innings...

 

[Gaijin-san]

Butt kicking?

Too conservative and... English . I said 'Australianism', didn't I?

Am I turning into the David Hookes of this forum?

Only if you say it'll be over in a day

amits doesn't understand the greentop conditions,coz they never happen in india...pitches r doctored to suit the batsman...exactly why india will never become a good bowling team until they stop this practice...and one of the main reason's i despise the indian cricket board

You have to keep in mind that the Indian conditions don't dictate that this be very much possible to make bowler friendly pitches.

deeps, if more guys think like u, then aus will soon indian origin players in their team.

Davenell Whatmore... (not Indian I know, but close..)

And note the amount of diversity in the England side - and then leave the issue.

And it's a greentop, and you should have bowled like this yesterday, and I have a horrible feeling India will get totally ripped apart.
