Isn't Thorpey involved with our batting on some level too? Pretty sure I remember him featuring in the Loins docu Sky showed during the SA series.

Was a great player of spin, but clearly his charges failing to follow the great man's lead.

At a bare minimum, it forces the bowler to think.

Might want to at least try the defensive shot though

Haha this is great

BoyBrumby · 17-11-2012, 12:49 AM

Ha, the "straight mow", I think you'd call that?

Thanks! Yeah, was surprised initially to see Ojha's figures, compared to Ashwin's, suggest otherwise.

Ha, man. Ordinary effort from Zaheer on the rope there.

Stooped like an arthritic family retainer.

Spark · 17-11-2012, 12:58 AM

That would have been the pits

he has been a total liability hasn't he?

should go in with harby instead of zaheer if the next pitch is a turner. zaheer is too slow now to be effective

Deals with the kids not the senior team. Rates Root very highly by all accounts.

If this is a taste of things then it might be 4-0 to India

TBF I think he's bowled ok, definitely got more movement than our muppets, setting a low bar as that may be.

Probably quicker than any of them too.

His fielding betrays his vintage tho. What is he now? 34?

Spark · 17-11-2012, 01:08 AM

Well that was just strange. Surely Zaheer could have fielded that?

dhoni will **** up at least once.
becomes so defensive as soon as the opposition gets aggressive.

BoyBrumby · 17-11-2012, 01:10 AM

Na, sliding down.

Good nut, but missing.

Spark · 17-11-2012, 01:11 AM

That's going down IMO
